Gold Fields Integrated Annual Report 2018: Home

Vision of the Chairperson & CEO

Stakeholder engagement remains a critical issue for the Board. As a foundation, we want to develop honest, mutually beneficial win-win partnerships with these stakeholders and, by and large, have found ways to achieve this. In return though, we would expect governments and trade unions, in particular, to work with us to ensure that our mines can continue to operate sustainably.

View chairperson's vision

2018 marked the second year of the reinvestment programme embarked on by Gold Fields at the end of 2016. The key motivation behind the investment focus is to ensure that our portfolio of mines continues to generate cash sustainably into the foreseeable future, while at the same time lowering our costs and extending mine life.
