AngloGold Ashanti does not disclose any governance process for its lobbying activities. While the company defines accountability for establishing and implementing a sustainability standard, stating that "accountability for establishing this standard for the company lies with the Executive responsible for Sustainability" and that "where a site, country or region is approached by an international advocacy group, the corporate office must be formally notified," it provides no indication of how it oversees, reviews, or aligns lobbying engagements, whether direct or indirect, with its corporate policies or climate goals.

AngloGold Ashanti provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company acknowledges that it engages with governments and names two jurisdictions, noting that "Engagements with government stakeholders have taken place where this is opportune or necessary, such as in Australia and Colombia." However, it does not identify any specific climate policies, laws or regulatory proposals it has tried to influence, referring only in general terms to climate change and decarbonisation. The disclosure also fails to spell out the methods used in those engagements—such as meetings, written submissions or participation in public consultations—so the mechanism of influence remains unclear. Finally, the company does not explain what policy changes or legislative outcomes it is seeking through these interactions, leaving readers without a clear picture of its lobbying objectives. Overall, the transparency provided is minimal and high-level rather than detailed.
