ANGLOGOLD LEADS IN DOW JONES SUSTAINABILITY INDEX
The Dow Jones Sustainability World Indexes (DJSI World) has given AngloGold
the award of Sustainability Leader in the precious metals sector.
AngloGold achieved the highest total score of any of the companies included
in the precious metals sector. This rating was based upon AngloGold's high
level of performance across the three dimensions of corporate
sustainability: economic, social and environmental.
The DJSI measures corporate sustainability as ".a business approach that
creates long-term shareholder value by embracing opportunities and managing
risks deriving from economic, environmental and social developments.
Corporate sustainability leaders achieve long-term shareholder value
creation by gearing their strategies and management to harness the market's
potential for sustainability products and services while at the same time
successfully reducing and avoiding sustainability costs and risks."
AngloGold Chairman and CEO, Bobby Godsell, said "I am very pleased that
AngloGold has been recognised as corporate sustainability leader of all
precious metals companies by the DSJI World. This performance once again
demonstrates AngloGold's high level of commitment to our shareholders,
employees and the communities and environments in which we operate."
AngloGold is currently making a takeover offer for Normandy, Australia's
largest listed gold mining company. On 14 November, Newmont Mining
Corporation announced that it intended to make a competing offer for
Normandy. On 29 November, AngloGold's offer was revised and declared free
of all defeating conditions.
Currently both AngloGold and Normandy are members of the DJSI World whilst
Newmont is not. If Normandy shareholders vote to accept the AngloGold offer
the combined companies would retain their listing with the DJSI World, but
this would not occur if the competing offer were to be accepted.
