Integrated reporting

This Integrated Annual Report provides an overview of Gold Fields eight global operations on a Group and mine-by-mine basis. The report also describes our exploration and business development activities. We do this using an ‘integrated’ approach to reporting that examines our operational, sustainability and financial performance together.

The aim of our integrated approach is to enable investors and other stakeholders, including host governments, local communities and our employees, to make a better informed assessment of the value of Gold Fields – and our ability to flourish in the new growth environments of tomorrow.

In recognition of the integrated nature of our operational and sustainability performance, we examine these themes in Section 1 of the report. Section 2 of the report fulfils our statutory financial reporting requirements.

Gold Fields is one of the world’s largest unhedged producers of gold with attributable annualised production of 3.5 million gold equivalent ounces from eight operating mines in Australia, Ghana, Peru and South Africa. Gold Fields also has an extensive and diverse global growth pipeline with four major projects in resource development and feasibility, with construction decisions expected in the next 18 to 24 months.

Gold Fields has total attributable gold equivalent Mineral Reserves of 76.7 million ounces and Mineral Resources of 225.4 million ounces. Gold Fields is listed on the JSE Limited (primary listing), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ Dubai Limited, Euronext in Brussels (NYX) and the Swiss Exchange (SWX).

About this report

We believe this Integrated Annual Report, together with additional documents held online, represents an A+ application of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

This Integrated Annual Report 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 related standards including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) ten principles – is presented online.
