Our ESG Charter and 2030 ESG targets

Sustainability has long been part of Gold Fields' way of doing business, and ESG is integrated into the operational management of our mines and projects. Over the past few years, ESG has become increasingly critical to our stakeholders. In response to this, we pivoted from a functional approach to one that is strategic and makes a leading commitment to ESG.

The Company's long-term success depends on successful management of ESG. In December 2021, we took a significant step by committing to a range of 2030 ESG targets, which we started implementing last year.

To create enduring value beyond mining, as our purpose statement compels us, we must address the following:

• The urgent need to mitigate our operations' impact on the environment and the communities around them, including focusing on climate change, tailings management, water stewardship, nature and integrated mine closure
• Issues of broader societal responsibility, including ensuring the safety, health and wellbeing of our people, a diverse workforce, and addressing the needs and expectations of our stakeholders – particularly our host communities
• The importance of entrenching and strengthening sound governance across the Company

Our stakeholders – including employees, communities, governments, investors and civil society – increasingly demand we pay greater attention to ESG. Furthermore, these stakeholders require that we transparently disclose the impact of ESG, have mitigation measures in place and integrate ESG into our business strategy.
