Our approach to reporting

FOCUSING OUR REPORT

WHY WE REPORT

Anglo Platinum has a wide cross-section of stakeholders. These stakeholders are interested in a variety of different aspects of the Company’s business and not just the financial element. Our sustainable development report forms an important component of our overall communication plan with stakeholders and gives us the opportunity of presenting data and information on how we are addressing the many social and environmental aspects associated with our business. The report is intended to be read by South African and international stakeholders. Key data and information will be shared with illiterate members of the communities surrounding our operations via community engagement forums.

It is a requirement of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act’s (MPRDA) mining charter scorecard that we report on our progress towards meeting the requirements of the charter. The Group continues to use its sustainable development report to report publicly on its performance against the mining charter scorecard.

ALIGNMENT WITH THE GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE (GRI)

Our 2008 sustainable development report provides a summary of our integrated economic, environmental and social programmes and performance for 2008, and identifies our material sustainable development challenges and opportunities for the future. This is our second report compiled in line with the GRI’s G3 guidelines. The previous five reports were compiled in accordance with the GRI’s G2 guidelines.

In accordance with G3, we declare that this report is aligned with application level B+.
