GOLD FIELDS ANNOUNCES 2030 ESG TARGETS

Johannesburg, 1 December 2021: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields)
(JSE, NYSE: GFI) today published a comprehensive set of 2030
targets for its most material environmental, social and governance
(ESG) priorities.

The targets include a commitment to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 carbon
emissions by 30% on a net basis and by 50% on an absolute basis by
2030. As a signatory to the Paris Agreement on climate change, Gold
Fields is committed to Net Zero carbon by 2050.

The Company is also setting ambitious new goals for its water and
environmental stewardship, the management of its tailing facilities and
to creating value for its stakeholders, particularly host communities.
For its employees, Gold Fields is seeking to further improve safety,
health and wellbeing, and to achieve greater inclusion and diversity,
by targeting a 30% female workforce by 2030.

“Gold Fields has already made significant progress in many ESG
priority areas, and we now have to build on this to meet our
commitments to stakeholders and the environment,’’ says Gold Fields
CEO Chris Griffith.

Gold Fields has therefore embedded ESG as one of the three pillars
in its strategy. The three pillars are:

• Maximise potential from current assets through people and

innovation

• Build on our leading commitment to ESG
• Grow the value and quality of our portfolio of assets

Furthermore, Gold Fields has developed new Purpose and Vision
statements that reflect the strengthened commitment to ESG. The new
Vision, which replaces the previous commitment to leadership in
sustainable gold mining, is:

• To be the preferred gold mining company delivering

sustainable, superior value.

The Purpose Statement is:

• Creating enduring value beyond mining.

Gold Fields’ new ESG Charter is built on the substantive work that the company has carried out since
2016, including:

- Investing US$400m in energy projects, largely funded through power purchasing agreements

(PPAs), already ensuring that two of our Australian mines are partially powered by renewable
energies.

- Commencing the construction of a R715m solar power plant at South Deep that will provide the

mine with about a quarter of its power requirements and save it over R120m a year in electricity
costs. The capacity of the plant has been increased from 40MW to 50MW.

- Raising the percentage of women in the workforce from 15% in 2016 to 21% at present.
- Ensuring that a significant amount of the value Gold Fields creates remains with its communities

through a focus on host community employment and procurement.

- Limiting our impact on the environment by curtailing serious environmental incidents, recycling

over 70% of the water our operations use in their processes and limiting freshwater usage by our
mines.

Our ESG priorities, their respective 2030 targets and last year’s performance against these indicators
are as follows:

Priority

2030 Targets

2020 Performance

1. Decarbonisation

• 50% absolute and 30% net emission

reductions from a 2016 baseline (Scope 1+2)

• Net zero emissions by 2050

• 10% (absolute);

5% (net)

2. Tailings management

• Compliance with the Global Industry Standard

on Tailings Management (GISTM)

• Reduce the number of active upstream raised

TSFs to 3

• Commenced

implementation

• 5

3. Water stewardship

• 80% water recycled/reused

• 45% reduction in freshwater use from a 2018

baseline

• 71%
• 31%

4. Safety, health,

wellbeing and the
environment

• Zero fatalities

• Zero serious injuries
• Zero serious environmental incidents

• 1
• 6
• 0

5. Gender diversity

• 30% women representation

• 21%

6. Stakeholder value

creation

• 30% of total value created benefits host

communities

• 6 flagship projects benefiting host

communities

• 28%

• 2

Gold Fields will report progress against these targets as part of its annual results reporting each year.

“In finalising these targets we ensured that they were informed by detailed programmes, strategies and
budgets. These targets are ambitious, but we realise that without this commitment to creating enduring
value beyond mining and positively impacting our local stakeholders we cannot guarantee the long-term
sustainability of our assets where we operate,” says Griffith.

The investment in decarbonising Gold Fields will total about US$1.2bn until 2030, of which about a
quarter will be financed by the company, with the remainder being funded through PPAs. All projects are
expected to be NPV positive.

The capital investment required to ensure even safer tailings storage facilities (TSFs) at our operations
and reduce the number of upstream facilities to three is estimated at US$325m. A further US$25m is
required to achieve compliance of our TSFs with the GISTM.

Sound corporate governance and a commitment to transparency underpin Gold Fields’ work on ESG
priorities. For the past ten years Gold Fields has been ranked among the top five mining companies on
the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. It reports against the leading global reporting and sustainability
frameworks, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards
Board and the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

A presentation on the targets is available on the Gold Fields website at www.goldfields.com.
