R&A designed, assisted with advising, drafting and compilation, and production managed the overall project to produce the reports. This is a comprehensive project of more than six months’ duration.
Requirements
As a listed company, AngloGold Ashanti is required to produce a set of annual reports annually – this includes an online website to house the reports and related collateral. The most recent set of reports produced was for the company’s 2023 financial year. The challenge was to produce reports that complied with company’s change in primary listing and domicile.
What we did:
R&A designed, assisted with advising, drafting and compilation, and production managed the overall project to produce the reports. This is a comprehensive project of more than six months’ duration.
R&A contributed the following:
- Benchmarking of strategic and similar reports produced by peers
- Advice on aspects of reporting required
- Design of reporting package
- Drafting of copy as required, as well as editing and proofing
- Production of related collateral such as videos, html emailers and social media posts
- Design, construction and management of website housing the reports on the main, corporate website
These reports can be viewed at:

Outcome:
The 2023 reports represented continuity with previous annual reports while breaking new ground related to new reporting requirements, particularly in relation to new domicile (country of registration).
The final suite of reports produced consisted of:
- Annual Report (which included a strategic report)
- Sustainability Report
- Mineral Resource and Mineral
- Reserve Report
- Operational Profiles (set of 10)
The online report provided users with an interactive showcase of the company’s strategic, ESG and financial performance and included an engaging set of leadership interviews intentionally recorded to fit a mobile-first format.
