Beyond the Ore with Stewart Bailey
What underpins operational resilience in complex markets? For AngloGold Ashanti in Guinea, it’s a commitment to becoming a core development partner. In this episode of Voices of Africa, we speak to Stewart Bailey about how the company’s long-term investment at the Siguiri mine is driving deep social change. This includes a revolutionary public-private health partnership model, strengthening its social license to operate, and building a genuinely Guinean team amidst the country’s rapid transformation.
Produced by Africa Practice in partnership with the Investing in African Mining Indaba.
AngloGold Ashanti is moving beyond classical, project-based CSR by extending the arc of its investments into ambitious, long-term programs. This strategic shift is designed to ensure projects are sustainable and embedded, ultimately strengthening the company’s Social License to Operate by proving a genuine commitment to local community development.
