SUSTAINABILITY Foundations and trusts

Foundations and trusts

Gold Fields funds and works with a number of associated foundations and community trusts to deliver social investment projects that share value created by our operations with host communities.

In South Africa we collaborate with the trustees of the independent South Deep Education Trust, the South Deep Community Trust and the Westonaria Community Trust to facilitate more effective delivery of projects that benefit host and labour sending communities. The South Deep Education Trust and the South Deep Community Trust, together with the employee-based Thusano Trust, were established as part of South Deep’s 2010 Black Economic Empowerment initiative.

In Australia and Ghana our community initiatives are channelled through the Gold Fields Australia Foundation and the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation respectively. The trustees of these foundations comprise independent representatives as well as representatives from Gold Fields.

Below is a brief profile of the trusts and foundations that Gold Fields works with.

 

Gold Fields Australia Foundation

During 2020 the Gold Fields Australia Foundation is being deregistered and its funds have been donated. The Australian operations will provide ongoing support to communities in line with their community investment framework.

  • Gold Fields Ghana Foundation
    PURPOSE:
    • The mission of the Gold Fields Ghana (GFG) foundation is to promote and facilitate sustainable socio-economic development in order to improve the quality of life in Ghana.
    • The sole objective of the foundation shall be to provide funds for charitable projects and causes in the Republic of Ghana that are, subject to the policies and rules of the foundation, deemed worthy and suitable by the Managing Trustees.
    • The foundation will primarily (but not exclusively) focus on the communities around Gold Fields Group operating mines in Ghana, particularly those directly affected by Group mining activities and where Group employees and their dependents live. Projects of national significance will also be funded by the foundation where these are considered appropriate by the Managing Trustees. Within this context, the foundation will primarily concentrate on projects and causes in the alternative livelihood, health, education and infrastructure sectors.

Westonaria Community Trust

The WCT was wound up in 2019. The WCT transferred the amount of R12m to the South Deep Education Trust, to be ring-fenced and to be utilised specifically for the purpose of building a TVET college in Westonaria. Representatives of the WCT are still, and will in future be actively involved in the planning and execution of the building of the TVET college. The WCT is a funder together with other funders for this project.
