Chief executive officer’s review

Reshaping our competitiveness for sustainability

We have set short- and medium-term targets for all our major sustainable development issues and we will continue to drive the programmes that will enable us to achieve these targets.

Interview with CEO

A challenging business environment.

Anglo Platinum experienced very challenging market conditions during 2009, but we used the opportunity to reconfigure our cost base, improve our production and take a significant step forward in our safety efforts.

Financial review

Net sales revenue decreased.

This was the result of lower US dollar metal prices achieved on all metals sold with the exception of gold, contributing R20.9 billion of the decrease.

Our business

Owing to, among other things, growing world populations and the ever-increasing use of renewable and non-renewable resources, societies in general are seeking development that is sustainable.
