Media releaseSTATEMENT BY CHRIS GRIFFITH, CEO
I started my tenure at Gold Fields during a very challenging time – COVID-19 was rampant and materially disrupting business and society at large. Some 10 months later, the world is starting to feel more normal. While infection rates remain high around the world, the severity of COVID-19 seems to be dissipating. The world is opening up again and I was even able to visit some of our operations at the start of this year.
