Introducing the culture we aspire to at Gold Fields, making us #StrongerTogether.
Our diversity and inclusion strategy, launched in 2019, includes three areas of focus – workforce diversity, workplace inclusion, and sustainability and accountability – and sets a roadmap for how we can achieve our business and people goals over a five-year period.
Our definition of diversity extends beyond gender alone – we want to build a workforce that reflects the demographics of the countries in which we operate, while at the same time addressing the skills needs of modern, automated gold mines.
That said, gender equity is currently a key focus area – female gender representation of 30% by 2030 is one of our key ESG targets.
We have developed a diversity and inclusion dashboard that captures and measures all aspects of representation across the employee lifecycle (see alongside).
Celebrating the rich diversity that makes up our company.
