Our strategy

DRDGOLD is rolling back the environmental legacy of mining through strategic focus points that are aligned to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which we influence directly, and the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs) by the World Gold Council (WGC).

Based on this, DRDGOLD has identified the following eight United Nations Sustainable Development Goals which are aligned to our core purpose as a business and our overall strategy:

We seek to achieve the eight United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by using integrated thinking to make our decisions to deploy resources and capital as we create value for all our stakeholders in the short, medium and longer term.

DRDGOLD has also prioritised the following strategic focus areas:

• Growing the business by replicating business model, looking at PGMs and battery metals
• Optimally, profitably, sustainably mining large surface gold resource
• Using technology, information to enhance operational performance, minimise impact on environment
• Create a value-driven culture of employee safety, empowerment, diversity and inclusion
• Improving quality of life of communities surrounding operations
