Anglo American Platinum Limited's (Amplats) 2007 employment equity status shows satisfactory progress towards achieving equitable representation of designated groups across all occupational levels and categories of the workforce. As required by the Employment Equity Act and its amended regulations, Amplats submitted a consolidated employment equity report for the 2007 reporting period ending 31 May 2007 to the Department of Labour as shown below.

Analysing the Company's employment equity status shows that, for top management, we achieved 8% against a target of 18%. We had achieved 30%, 42% and 65% equity representation at senior management, middle management and supervisory levels respectively against targets of 18%, 34% and 55%. The Company achieved 39% representation at a management level in May 2007 against the mining charter target of 40% by end 2009. By year end 43% of management were HDSAs.

At the end of 2007, 10% of our employees were women, meeting the mining charter requirement.

The Company's employment equity strategy, typified by special interventions such as attracting high-potential candidates, employee development programmes, mentoring, shadowing, fast-tracking and talent pool management continued to deliver positive results towards achieving our targets.
