About

AngloGold Ashanti is a global gold mining company with operations, projects and exploration activities in 10 countries on four continents. These sites employ over 20,000 people – people with identities that are so diverse they are almost impossible to qualify or quantify.

A diverse workforce

Our employees consider themselves part of a variety of racial groupings and ethnicities. They identify as men, women and non-binary, and many are members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and related communities (LGBTQIA+). They represent all working ages. Some have disabilities. They configure their families in an endless number of ways. They follow numerous religions and beliefs, adopt countless cultural practices, and speak a multitude of languages.

Every single one is an integral part of AngloGold Ashanti.

In this space, we publicly reaffirm our continuous commitment to do so.
