7.1 AngloGold subscribes to ICMM principles
AngloGold is a founding member of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and subscribes to the ICMM principles of sustainability.
 
ICMM sustainable development framework – ICMM principles
As members of the ICMM, or as companies that have otherwise agreed to take on the same performance obligations as ICMM members, we seek continual improvement in our performance and contribution to sustainable development so as to enhance shareholder value.
 
In striving to achieve this, we will:
 
1. Implement and maintain ethical business practices and sound systems of corporate governance.
2. Integrate sustainable development considerations within the corporate decision-making process.
3. Uphold fundamental human rights and respect cultures, customs and values in dealings with employees and others who are affected by our activities.
4. Implement risk-management strategies based on valid data and sound science.
5. Seek continued improvement of our health and safety performance.
6. Seek continued improvement of our environmental performance.
7. Contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and integrated approaches to land use planning.
8. Facilitate and encourage responsible product design, use, re-use, recycling and disposal of our products.
9. Contribute to the social, economic and institutional development of the communities in which we operate.
10. Implement effective and transparent engagement, communication and independently verified reporting arrangements with our stakeholders.
 
ICMM corporate membership includes a commitment to measure corporate performance against these principles.
