Aiming to be the best gold miner in the world, overrides our desire to be the biggest. Instead, our vision is to be the global leader in sustainable gold mining.
By thinking smarter, operating more efficiently and adopting a mind-set of ‘working like an owner’, regardless of rank within the organisation, is how we aim to get there.
Our sustainability vision means that we operate through a set of values that encompass who we are, what we do and how we work. This is evident through our responsibility to environmentally-aware work practices, a commitment to safety as a way of life, or through practicing respect and integrity by ensuring local communities are better-off from our presence in their regions.
Gold Fields Chief Executive Officer, Nick Holland explains the Gold Fields DNA, which encompasses who we are, what we do, and how we work as a company, in further detail below.
