AngloGold Ashanti is committed to creating positive economic and social benefits in the communities where we operate. In framing our approach to social contribution, we are guided by a set of management standards that outline the philosophy, scope and application of our community development initiatives.
Focus areas include:
- Enterprise and supplier development
- Localization of employment and procurement opportunities
- Infrastructure development
- Public health initiatives
- Education and skills development
We support employment and procurement opportunities prioritizing local people, companies and resources. Our procurement practices allow us to collaborate with local businesses and communities to source goods and services.
Anglogold Ashanti’s commitments
Driving economic growth and opportunity
Through our planning for the proposed North Bullfrog Project, we are actively investing in the Beatty Mining District to stimulate economic growth and support the prosperity of both local and regional economies. The project is expected to create hundreds of well-paying jobs, both directly and indirectly, driving long-term economic opportunities for the community.
To evaluate the potential economic and social benefits, we work with economic analysts who take a comprehensive approach to understanding the overall impacts of the construction and operation associated with the mine. The economic and social impacts are evaluated for jobs, wages, support of local business activities, and procurement of goods and services in Nye County, Nevada, and an aggregation of all other counties in the state.
