Environment

Introduction

AngloGold Ashanti’s environmental management and practices are guided by the group’s business principle dealing with, AngloGold Ashanti and the environment.

In this year’s report on environmental issues, the key indicators have been subject to assurance by external auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers reasonable assurance. While AngloGold Ashanti has provided more quantitative detail in this section than in the past, not all of the data generation systems are at a stage where these may be subject to a rigorous assurance process and these have thus been excluded from the assurance process. It is the company’s intention to improve this, incrementally, over the next few years.

The report has been presented in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. In addition, a detailed response to the GRI environmental performance indicators by operation is provided:
