Clinton Global Initiative 2005-2009 ACTION L O U D E R T H A N W O R D S SPEAKSCLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE 2005-2009 CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE What does it mean to be a global citizen in the 21st century? For Clinton Global Initiative members, it means committing to educate a child. Committing Clinton Global Initiative Intel to build a sustainable business. Committing to work across organizations, across sectors, across borders. It means moving from opinion to conviction, from inclination to action, from “I wish” to “I will.” The members of CGI have accomplished a great deal. Those who have worked the hardest, however, will be Vision Spring Clinton Global Initiative Clinton Global Initiative Asia the first to declare that their work to address pressing global challenges is far from over. We must never lose sight of what is important, for together we will chart a course to a better tomorrow. Clinton Global Initiative Global Fund for Children, Guatemala CMEA, CGI Commitment Clinton Global Initiative Clinton Global Initiative How do you go about taking the best of intentions “and turning them into positive changes that benefit other people? That is the question that you must ask and the question you must answer.” PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON Clinton Global Initiative Dear Friends, In 2005, we sought to create a global movement based on the simple notion that problems have solutions. These numbers represent only a sampling of the positive changes that our members have helped make We convened the world’s most innovative and influential citizens – Nobel Prize winners, global CEOs, heads around the globe. They capture the what of our achievements, but they do not capture the how. In practice, of state, and visionary leaders from the NGO community – to take part in a new kind of meeting, one that the how question is where the real strength of CGI lies, and in the pages ahead, you will discover some of yielded results. We asked them to do more than merely discuss the problems plaguing our world; we asked the ways our members answer that crucial question. It’s why I’m so proud of CGI: our members tirelessly them to commit to resolving them. search for the best actions that will bring about the best results. They ask: how can we make the largest, most sustainable impact on people’s lives? How can we empower communities so we’re not just raising and That first meeting was inspiring. Together, our members made more than 270 Commitments to Action educating this generation, but future generations as well? How can we help businesses employ more people spanning 88 countries around the world. Since then, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) has matured as an at fair wages, while increasing profits and improving the communities where they are based? organization. We started with one annual event. Today, our dedicated team leads a year-round operation that catalyzes new commitments, bolsters existing ones through strategic partnerships, and engages new Over the years, we’ve learned that it is possible to find solutions to these challenges. I encourage you to change-makers in our mission to create progress in our world. We have created a forum for cross-sector take this opportunity to learn more about how CGI members are turning their answers into commitments collaboration, where business, government, and civil society can find common ground and work together that improve lives. As we enter our fifth year, these commitments stand as benchmarks of the progress toward shared goals. we have achieved together. They remind us of our capability, and even more, of how much good work remains to be done. The CGI community focuses on action and results. Since 2005, our members have made more than 1,400 commitments, valued at $46 billion. These commitments have positively impacted more than 200 million Sincerely, people in more than 150 countries. Our members have provided nearly 9 million people with new jobs and income-generating opportunities. They have given more than 10 million children access to better education, cut the equivalent of 60 million metric tons of CO2 emissions, and expanded access to health care for almost 50 million people. Launching New Tools MakING A DIFFERENCE President Clinton created CGI as an innovative new model of global citizenship for our interconnected age. Today, CGI members use that model to pursue groundbreaking innovations of their own. A number of new tools, techniques, CGI collaborates closely with members to help and processes have been developed as a result of CGI member commitments. John Williams, senior vice president and national director of sustainable development for HDR them develop commitments and build partnerships Engineering, has done a great deal of pro bono work with municipalities. Given his interest in climate change, he has often been frustrated by the inability of middle managers to factor climate change into their with other organizations. decision-making processes. At CGI, he decided to create a new tool for North American cities to do just that. With Williams’ new Sustainable Return on Investment model – his Commitment to Action in 2008 – elected officials and public administrators across the continent will be able to make informed, long-term strategic decisions that will increase efficiency and reduce consumption. Bringing Partners Together CGI has shown time and again the value of creative collaboration – the engine that drives Commitments to Action. That’s why CGI puts a premium on helping members connect, whether it’s at the Annual Meeting in New York or throughout the year. The goal is always to provide a space and a means for members with vastly different expertise to form breakthrough, Clinton Global Initiative Accelerating Momentum transformative partnerships. A good idea or a well-designed plan is one thing – making it happen is another. In an effort to address the current global food crisis, CGI’s 2008 That’s why the word that best describes CGI is “catalyst.” The Annual Meeting Education Working Group mobilized major players across several is where great intentions become clarion calls to action, and groundbreaking ideas sectors – corporations, governments, NGOs, and international come to fruition. Simply put, CGI is the accelerant that makes it possible to move organizations – to develop a series of commitments focused on from conceptualization to realization on the ground – effectively, collaboratively, Camfed RCEF Clinton Global Initiative food in schools. More than a dozen organizations, corporations, and quickly. and foundations are currently collaborating through CGI to At the 2008 annual meeting, Jack Hidary, CGI member and chairman bolster school feeding programs for nearly 40 million children of Smarttransportation.org, announced Cash for Clunkers, an innovative in more than 30 countries. program to stimulate the economy, generate jobs, and assist the auto industry – all while cleaning up the environment. The announcement Clinton Global Initiative gave Cash for Clunkers instant visibility and helped jump-start discussions that brought all three major American automakers on board. Channeling Resources Clinton Global Initiative Guatemala Savings Group Clinton Global Initiative As President Clinton has often noted, the resource- driven challenges we face frequently are rooted not in the absence of resources, but rather in their unequal or problematic distribution. Whether it’s a man-made product or a commodity like clean water, sometimes a critical resource is out of reach for those who desperately need it. Recognizing Results CGI is always looking for new ways to spotlight excellent humanitarian work. Our members have designed and CGI encouraged Becton Dickinson and Merck & Co. to combine resources and ultimately implemented innovative projects that hold important lessons for others. Other activists, political leaders, provide 3 million auto-disable syringes to girls and women throughout Africa, Asia, and and companies are also engaging in life-changing activities that deserve to be recognized.

This commitment is expected to save the lives of 1 million young girls and women and, more importantly, to encourage governments to adopt policies to provide more In 2007, we launched the Clinton Global Citizen Awards to honor individuals who have made great HPV vaccinations. strides fighting for positive social change. The awards are distributed by President Clinton during a dinner event at the Annual Meeting. In 2008, for example, President Clinton honored Xiaoyi (Sheri) Liao, founder of the Global Village of Beijing, philanthropists Jennifer and Peter Buffett, former Mexican health minister Julio Frenk, and then-Chairman of Coca-Cola Neville Isdell.

    RANDGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED Incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands Reg. No. 62686 LSE Trading Symbol: RRS Nasdaq Trading Symbol: GOLD FOCUS ON DELIVERY AS RANDGOLD RESOURCES ADVANCES NEW GROWTH PROJECTS London, 6 May 2010 - Randgold Resources has started mining at its new Tongon project in the Côte d’Ivoire and has also initiated the development of the second underground mine at its Loulo complex in Mali in line with its growth plan designed to boost attributable production to 1.2 million ounces in 2014. In a tough operational quarter, the company also made significant progress with the key issues related to the development of the Kibali project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and continued to advance the feasibility studies on the Gounkoto project in Mali and the Massawa project in Senegal. During the past quarter, the previous quarter’s record throughput at Loulo took its toll on the plant in terms of a rise in wear rates and a consequent increase in downtime. This, together with plant breakdowns at Morila, had a negative impact on throughput and therefore on gold production, unit costs and net profit for the quarter. Attributable production of 112 663 ounces and profit of US$23.9 million, while down on the previous quarter’s record results, were nevertheless significantly up on the corresponding quarter in 2009. Chief executive Mark Bristow said that in spite of the time spent on remedial measures at Loulo, the company had continued to make solid progress on all its strategic objectives during the period. “Tongon wins the prize for performance this quarter, with our capital projects team staying ahead of the development schedule and within budget.
