About this report
Our Integrated Annual Report 2013, which covers the
year to end-December 2013, is made up of the following
three volumes:
- The Integrated Annual Review 2013, which examines
the integrated nature of our operational, financial and
sustainability performance
- The Annual Financial Report 2013, which fulfils our
statutory financial reporting requirements
- The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Overview
2013, which provides detailed technical and operational
information on our mines and growth projects
This Integrated Annual Review provides an overview of
Gold Fields eight global operations on a Group and
mine-by-mine basis, including the Yilgarn South Assets.
The report also describes our exploration and business
development activities. We do this using an integrated
approach to reporting that examines our operational,
financial and sustainability performance.
The aim of our integrated approach is to enable investors and
other stakeholders – including host governments, local
communities and our employees – to make a more informed
assessment of the value of Gold Fields and its prospects.
We believe the Integrated Annual Review, together
with additional documents held online, represents an
A+ application of the Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”)
G3.1 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, the highest
level possible.
Our auditors, KPMG, have provided reasonable assurance on selected sustainability information in this report. As a member of the International Council on Mining & Metals (‘ICMM’) we are committed to obtaining assurance in line with the ICMM Sustainable Development Framework: Assurance Procedure. KPMG has provided assurance on all five subject matters of the ICMM, which include our GRI A+ self-declaration as well as our selected sustainability performance data. The assured data and KPMG’s Assurance opinion are on p158 and 153, respectively. This Integrated Annual Review also forms part of our
Communication on Progress to the United Nations Global
Compact. A summary of our compliance with the GRI and
the 10 Principles of the United Nations Global Compact
– as well as our alignment with related standards including
the Millennium Development Goals (“MDGs”) and the
ICMM 10 Principles – is presented online. |
