Home Environment

Africa is currently home to six of our operations, with one – Kibali – managed by Barrick Gold Corporation. These operations are in the DRC (Kibali), Egypt (Sukari), Ghana (Iduapriem and Obuasi), Guinea (Siguiri) and Tanzania (Geita).

Responsible environmental stewardship is an integral part of our business. A framework of an environment policy, standards and guidelines support the minimisation and mitigation of our operations’ environmental impacts, major expansions and new projects. A transition to nature-positive mining is central to AngloGold Ashanti’s vision of leaving a positive legacy in the countries and communities where we operate.

Our sustainability policy establishes our environmental ambitions and emphasises the responsible management of environmental risks, including threats to natural resources, while working to reduce our closure liabilities.

We employ a systemic approach to managing environmental risks at current operations and new projects. Senior operational managers are accountable for compliance with regulatory and permit requirements and conformance with our own environmental standards, supported by guidance from the corporate office. These standards are reviewed as global good practice expectations evolve.

Audits and compliance

All our operating mines are ISO 14001: 2015 certified. CVSA, Serra Grande, AGA Mineração, Siguiri, Iduapriem, Geita, Sunrise Dam, Tropicana were recertified after the successful completion of an external audit. ISO 14001 surveillance audits were undertaken at all operations. All our managed operations that use cyanide are currently certified by the International Cyanide Management Code (ICMC).

Performance in 2024

We recorded one reportable environmental incident during 2024 (2023: one). Reportable incidents are defined by our incident classification and reporting standard, which sets out how we identify, respond to and communicate events that impact negatively on the environment or communities.
