Climate change remains one of the most pressing issues of our time. Extending beyond environmental implications, it has the potential to impact nearly every aspect of our business, and the lives of our employees and community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AngloGold Ashanti is proactive in identifying and minimising existing climate-related risks. Together with our stakeholders, we work to adopt strategic plans to fortify resilience against future impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Our commitment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        We recognise the substantial and increasing risks climate change poses to the global economy and socio-economic development, and are committed to minimising current and future climate risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Our goal is to achieve net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2050, with a parallel focus on strengthening climate resilience across our business, value chain, host communities, and operational environments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
