Newmont’s strategy is to lead the gold sector in creating value for shareholders and other stakeholders through efforts to:

Secure the gold franchise –

by running its existing business more efficiently and effectively.

Strengthen the portfolio –

by building a longer-life, lower-cost asset portfolio.

Enable the strategy –

through capabilities and systems that create competitive advantage.

Supporting this strategy, the Company sets and meets aggressive improvement targets across five platforms:

Health and safety – working to eliminate all workplace injuries and illness through a focus on behaviors, leadership and risk management.

Operational excellence – delivering sustainable cost and efficiency improvements and world-class technical fundamentals.

Growth – building a stronger portfolio by progressing promising exploration, project development and inorganic opportunities.

People – developing a more streamlined operating model and a more diverse talent pipeline.

Sustainability and external relations – leveraging leading social and environmental practices for competitive advantage

Policies and Standards communicate the philosophy, rules and expectations of an organization.

As an important part of Newmont’s internal governance process, new or revised Global Policies and Standards are reviewed and preliminarily approved by a Global Policies & Standards Committee. Following this preliminary approval, the documents are posted for comment by employees for a minimum of 14 days, after which they are finally approved by the Global Policies & Standards Committee. Policies are then submitted for further approval by Newmont’s Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors.
The scope of the Social and Environmental Standards is global, and they apply to all directors, officers and employees of Newmont Mining Corporation, its subsidiaries, and any other entities that it controls. A variance request process for existing or future conditions is in place for S&ER standards. The process provides an alternative mechanism for those instances where a Newmont site/operation cannot logistically or feasibly conform to a requirement established in a Standard due to special conditions or unique hardships.
