Scope of the report

This Report to Society 2006 has been prepared in conjunction with the company’s Annual Financial Statements on the company’s operating and financial performance for the same period. Combined, the Report to Society and the Annual Financial Statements make up the Annual Report. Through the Report to Society, AngloGold Ashanti seeks to report on these issues to a wide range of stakeholders, who include shareholders, employees, employee representatives and the communities in which it operates, as well as regional and national governments and other interested parties. The group’s 2006 Report to Society has been prepared in the form of three complementary publications comprising:

• a comprehensive web-based document which provides a broad overview of the group’s sustainable development initiatives across 10 countries and 21 operations – with a particular focus on the economic, social and environmental impact and obligations for the period 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2006. This review is illustrated by a number of case studies for each of AngloGold Ashanti’s business principles;
• This condensed report illustrates the most significant challenges and issues facing the group in terms of sustainable development and indicates, where appropriate, where further information – particularly case studies - may be found in the web-based report. This entire report has been assured by independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers; and
• country and operational reports, which provide an overview of each country or region (as appropriate) and the issues and challenges relating to sustainable development in each.

The company’s annual financial statements is also available in a printed form.

AngloGold Ashanti believes that the report presents a fair and balanced reflection of the group’s operations and performance, its objectives, values and business principles, and the major issues and challenges that it faces.

AngloGold Ashanti has sought to follow good practice, GRI guidelines and various other instruments (such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the guidelines of the King Report on Corporate Governance (2002), among others) in compiling this report.
