AngloGold today published its Annual Financial Statements (AFS), covering its operating and financial results for the year 2003. However, in order to ensure a comprehensive perspective of all aspects of the company, in addition to the AFS, the company has this year produced a web-based Report to Society. This report seeks to explain and assess the economic, social and environmental responsibilities and performance obligations the company believes it has with regard to stakeholders.
In his letter to stakeholders in the Report to Society, AngloGold's CEO Bobby Godsell says, "We seek to measure our performance … against our declared principles, goals and objectives: which are to run a business that is profitable; manage workplaces that are safe and healthy; ensure that the environments in which we operate are ecologically sound and sustainable; and ensure that communities within which we operate are better off for AngloGold being there.
"We hope the report will be as useful to an environmentalist or industrial health specialist as it will be to an ordinary resident or the mayor of a village in Mali or Brazil, or a trade unionist with an interest either in their own country or internationally, or a cabinet minister in any country in which we operate."
The AFS are being posted to shareholders today. Both the AFS and the Report to Society are available on the AngloGold website at www.anglogold.com, on a CD or in a printed version from the contacts listed on the website.
AngloGold is not publishing an abridged report as the financial information in the AFS is unchanged from that which was published on 30 January 2004 in the company's report for the quarter and year ended 31 December 2003.
The annual general meeting of shareholders will be held at The Johannesburg Country Club, Napier Road, Auckland Park, Johannesburg, South Africa, on Thursday, 29 April 2004 at 11:00
