PEOPLE AND CAREERS Diversity and inclusion
Gold Fields recognises that the diversity and talent of our people will ultimately determine our business’ success. Gold Fields is therefore committed to seeking out and retaining a diverse and talented workforce to ensure business growth and performance.
In parallel with this, having a sound, fair and equitable diversity policy benefits individual employees, our company as a whole, as well as the communities, regulators and third party contractors in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We value such diversity.
Gold Fields encourages diversity on its boards and in its workforce, including diversity in race, gender, ethnic or social origin, colour, language, age, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, socio-economic status, experience and education. We believe that the wide array of perspectives that results from such diversity promotes innovation and business success. Managing diversity makes us more creative, flexible, productive and competitive.
Gold Fields believes in treating all people with respect and dignity. We strive to create and foster a supportive and understanding environment in which all individuals realise their maximum potential within the company, regardless of their differences. Gold Fields recognises the importance of reflecting on its boards and in its workforce the diversity of the communities and countries in which it operates.
