Board profile (as at 27 March 2025)

Gold Fields' Memorandum of Incorporation mandates a Board of between four and 15 directors. Currently, the Board comprises 13 directors – two executive directors and 11 independent NEDs. Since the Company's inception in 1998, the Board has maintained a majority of independent NEDs.

Our Memorandum of Incorporation

Guided by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board appoints reputable individuals with recognised competence, experience and a commitment to dedicating sufficient time to the Company as independent directors. Each director offers relevant knowledge, technical expertise and business acumen, ensuring independent judgement in Board discussions and decisions.

The Nominating and Governance Committee ensures the Board has adequate diversity in race, gender, culture, age, field of knowledge, skills, experience, business expertise and geographic and academic backgrounds. The Board strongly supports the Group's diversity targets, including 30% female representation among the workforce by 2030. The Board also adopted a Board Diversity Policy, which commits to a target of 40% female representation at a Board level. We are currently at 38%.

The composition of the Board's committees was reviewed and approved at the November 2024 and February 2025 Board meetings.
