Gold Fields' Purpose, Vision, Strategy & Values

Friday, 10 December 2021

Johannesburg, 10 December 2021: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE: GFI) has launched new Purpose and Vision statements, a new Strategy and revised Values.

This marks the latest step in the development of the Company’s strategy by the Gold Fields leadership team headed by CEO Chris Griffith, who took over the position in April 2021.

Earlier in the year, Gold Fields landed on its new strategic pillars and on 1 December 2021 launched its 2030 environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets. The new Purpose and Vision statements as well as the amended Values were released at the same time.

After receiving input from its employees, Gold Fields arrived at its Purpose statement, which is "Creating Enduring Value Beyond Mining". The Vision statement was redrafted and the Company now seeks "To be the preferred gold mining company delivering sustainable, superior value".

Gold Fields new strategy reflects its operational, ESG and growth priorities:

The Gold Fields values were evolved slightly. Safety, Integrity, Respect, Responsibility and Innovation remained the same, while Delivery now becomes Collaborative Delivery.

"By running our mines so they deliver maximum value, mining in an ethical and responsible way that gives back to society and growing our portfolio for long term sustainability – we can achieve our new vision," Griffith says.

"At the same time investors will want to invest in us, people will want to work for us, and communities and governments will be happy for us to come mine in their jurisdictions. And we will fulfil our purpose of creating enduring value beyond mining," he adds.
