Anglogold Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration Number: 1944/017354/06) ISIN Number: ZAE000014601 JSE Share Code: ANG NEWS RELEASE CORPORATE AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT 16th FLOOR, 11 DIAGONAL STREET JOHANNESBURG 2001 www.anglogold.com 7 December 2001 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.
