Message from the Chief \u2028Sustainability and Corporate Affairs Officer<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The way we do business matters \u2013 perhaps now,\nmore than ever. We are accountable to a host of\nstakeholders for ethical and responsible conduct\nand transparent reporting that confirms our\ncommitment to long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our 2025 Sustainability Report presents a clear view of our priorities, performance and the progress we have made in advancing responsible mining across our global portfolio. It reflects how our sustainability purpose continues to guide what we do and how we work: To strengthen our social licence to operate and to ensure AngloGold Ashanti is the mine developer of choice for host governments and communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided by our annual Double Materiality Assessment, we focus on those issues that are most relevant to our business and our stakeholders, reflecting on both our achievements and the challenges inherent in our sector. We also invite readers to engage with our case studies that demonstrate how our values guide decision-making and shape our approach across our operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold as a value driver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gold continued to play an important role in global markets 2025, with record prices driven by central bank buying, geopolitical uncertainty and a demand for its safe-haven characteristics that have endured for millennia. While the gold price is forecast by many to remain strong, there is simply no certainty of that; we do not control the price of our product and so it is vitally important, as long-term operators and investors, that we conduct our business with a keen focus on cost discipline, project delivery and resilience. It is equally important that we are flexible in adapting to what is always a dynamic operating environment, though always guided by our values and purpose, and that we meet our commitments to the array of stakeholders that depend on our business in one way or another \u2013 whether they be our shareholders, our employees, or our host governments and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key plank of AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s strategy is organic growth, leveraging our exploration success and brownfields expansion in established jurisdictions. Adding Mineral Reserve in regions where we have strong institutional and operational knowledge helps secure long-term value creation for host countries and the communities who participate in many ways across our value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At both the national and community levels, commercial-scale, responsible gold mining generates shared value through employment, procurement, infrastructure, taxes and royalties. We take seriously our responsibility to ensure these benefits are realised and sustained. We pay more than lip service to this idea; empowering local communities through participation in our business has long been a strategic driver for us as it gives communities an interest in our success and bolsters our social licence to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way we do business also matters \u2013 perhaps now, more than ever. We are accountable to a host of stakeholders, including investors, lenders, governments, partners, contractors, employees, unions, suppliers and communities for ethical and responsible conduct and transparent reporting that confirms our commitment to long-term sustainability. In turn, we demand the same ethical and responsible behaviour from our counterparties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolving climate change and\nenvironmental landscape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We continue to make progress in decarbonising our energy footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and our reliance on carbon-intensive fuels. Understanding climate-related vulnerabilities, like carbon pricing mechanisms and site\u2011specific exposure to extreme weather, is essential to building resilience. We have commissioned next\u2011generation climate modelling to enhance the resolution of climate data and the accuracy of long\u2011term scenario planning to support adaptive risk management and improve the integrity of our long-term plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, this is not an academic exercise but rather a proactive way to improve risk management and resilience. We have seen over these past years an increase in extreme weather events, particularly uncharacteristically heavy rainfall events. The 2024 flooding in Western Australia left our sites partly under water and interrupted production, while in August 2025, at Siguiri, we suspended processing for a number of weeks when we detected seepage from a tailings facility wall after significant rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water stewardship remains central to environmental and operational performance. Under the oversight of our dedicated Water Stewardship Committee, we advanced multiple initiatives in 2025 aimed at improving water efficiency, strengthening catchment partnerships and supporting communities with limited access to safe water. These projects were measured against defined schedules and sustainability milestones, reflecting our commitment to engineering excellence and collaborative resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our biodiversity programme continued to mature, including specialist work to align with ICMM\u2019s commitment to achieving no net loss of biodiversity against a 2020 baseline by the closure of current operations. This approach helps ensure our environmental planning not only meets regulatory requirements and voluntary commitments but also supports long-term ecological resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the mine gate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Responsible mining can be a significant catalyst for socio\u2011economic development. Across our operations, we contribute to national revenues, create employment, and support improvements in education, health and local infrastructure. Guided by AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s purpose \u2013 Mining to empower people and advance societies \u2013 we aim to translate mineral wealth into tangible, lasting benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening our social licence requires respect for human rights and robust due diligence processes. In 2025, we undertook an external review of our Human Rights Due Diligence Framework, tools and practices. Conducted by TrustWorks Global, the review identified strengths, areas for improvement and opportunities for alignment with evolving international norms. These insights will guide the refinement of our human rights processes to ensure they remain fit for purpose and responsive to emerging risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASM is a long-standing and complex reality across many gold\u2011producing regions. Rising gold prices and widespread informal \u2013 and sometimes illegal \u2013 trading channels have greatly increased global ASM activity. For many rural communities, ASM represents a primary source of livelihood, and in recent years as gold prices have risen, it has displaced traditional livelihoods including trading and agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some estimate that ASM and illegal mining now account for one in five ounces produced globally. In Ghana, Africa\u2019s largest producer, it now accounts for more than half of all gold production. Whatever the case, this activity supports hundreds of millions of people directly and indirectly. While this is a fact worth noting and respecting, we should not be blind to the criminal networks that have arisen around this informal industry, the mass migration of people that it has caused, and the enormous environmental devastation it leaves for governments and communities to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognise that developing a sustainable, multi\u2011stakeholder approach to ASM which is scalable and operates to certain minimum requirements, requires extensive collaboration across societies, industries, governments and borders. Our focus remains on contributing constructively to such initiatives and supporting long\u2011term solutions that put people at their centre. At the same time, we enjoin our host governments to recognise and nurture the large-scale, commercial miners who operate responsibly, provide for closure, pay taxes, provide high-quality jobs, and invest in social and economic infrastructure that leaves a positive legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transparency, accountability\nand engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Engagement takes many forms: structured forums, community meetings, employee dialogue and formal grievance mechanisms. Meaningful engagement with stakeholders \u2013 employees, organised labour, communities, traditional leaders, governments and civil society \u2013 is essential to maintaining trust and ensuring we remain responsive to expectations, open to criticism and honest in recognising and addressing our shortcomings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also recognise the importance of accountability. AngloGold Ashanti continues to align with the ICMM Mining Principles and the World Gold Council\u2019s Responsible Gold Mining Principles. We are strong supporters of the Consolidated Mining Standard (CMSI), an initiative led by The Copper Mark, ICMM, the Mining Association of Canada and the World Gold Council to streamline responsible mining standards globally. This standard aims to reduce complexity and provide clarity on expectations for mining companies of all sizes and commodities. Following extensive public consultations, the standard is nearing completion, and we look forward to integrating it into our operating frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In closing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we work to strengthen our social licence to operate, we remain committed to offering a comprehensive, balanced perspective on our sustainability performance. Our goal is to streamline reporting while maintaining transparency and ensuring stakeholders have clear insight into how we address environmental, social and governance responsibilities. We continue to welcome thoughtful contributions and constructive feedback, whether it be positive or critical, to help improve both our performance and the way we communicate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
