Newmont has long been a leader in sustainable and responsible
mining, and considers environmental, social and governance (ESG)
practices to be fundamental to the way in which it operates. With
the appointment of Peter Toth, the Company will further incorporate
these critical elements into its future strategy. In October 2021,
Newmont announced that Peter Toth, a 25-year veteran of the
industry, would join the Company as Executive Vice President,
Strategic Development. Peter has extensive experience with
integrating sustainability practices into broader corporate
strategies, having led the development of Rio Tinto’s 10-year
climate strategy in support of their ambition of reaching net zero
by 2050.
“We are extremely thankful to Steve for his dedication and
service to Newmont. He has been a key driver of our strategic
approach to sustainability during a transformative period in
Newmont’s 101-year history. Throughout his career, Steve has
provided a lasting contribution to Newmont with his commitment to
our values, development of exceptional teams and leaders, and
trusted counsel to our Board and Executive Leadership Teams,” said
Newmont’s President and CEO Tom Palmer. “I am pleased that we are
able to turn to a deep bench of sustainability and external
relations leaders to support Peter Toth, who will continue to embed
ESG and sustainability into our approach to strategic development.
ESG and sustainability performance remains critical to our future
strategy and success.”
Stephen Gottesfeld joined Newmont in 1997, as Senior Counsel.
Over the course of his career, Steve served on multiple Executive
Leadership Teams and as the Company’s General Counsel for more than
10 years before leading the Company’s Sustainability & External
Relations and Communications functions in 2019. During Steve’s
tenure, the Company meaningfully strengthened its global
sustainability strategy and ESG practices, and it is a recognized
industry leader, including its commitments to robust and
transparent reporting, 2030 science-based, emissions reduction
targets, and goal to be carbon neutral by 2050.
