As of 2025, Gold Fields has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.a
As of 2025, Gold Fields has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
Gold Fields's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 30% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 1,693,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2016.a
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Gold Fields has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2016 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
As of 2025, Gold Fields has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
Gold Fields's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 10% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 980,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2022.a
As of 2025, Gold Fields is ahead of schedule on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 68.4% of the planned reduction.a
