6. National Development Plan 2030 The CGS business model will address the following strategic national outcomes:  4. Decent employment through inclusive economic growth (Increase the benefit of the mineral resources to the country by delivering geoscience information and services to increase the rail, water and energy infrastructure)  5. A skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth path (building capacity in respect of scientific, administrative and managerial/leadership skills; development of products, systems and services)

7. National Development Plan 2030  6. An efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure network (geoscience information and services input to infrastructure development, contributes to South Africa’s economic development – coal, gas (shale gas), electricity and water resources)  7. Vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural communities with food security for all (CGS assistance in the development of South Africa and its people through improved infrastructure development – mining and geotourism)

8. National Development Plan 2030  10. Environmental assets and natural resources that are well protected and continually enhanced (the CGS conducts research with regard to acid mine drainage, climate change and carbon capture technology) 12. An efficient, effective and development oriented public service and an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship (ensuring CGS compliance with legislative requirements, development of CGS regulatory systems and alignment with national mandates; addressing gender equality and employment equity).

9. Vision, Mission and Values

11. The Mission To advance the knowledge, understanding and sustainable management of the geological environment, including geohazards, mineral, energy and water resources. To provide timely geoscience data, information and knowledge to address the developmental priorities of the Nation. Our public activities support evidence-based decision- making and build effective public capacity in the geosciences. We build and maintain national geoscience infrastructure with qualified professionals Our applied geoscience research is world-class, locally relevant, and responsive to the most important challenges facing our society.

12. The Values  We work together as a team across functions to solve problems, develop novel ideas that create new value for our stakeholders and improve the organizational performance of the CGS.  Our targets are challenging yet realistic and we take ownership of our personal actions and work commitments.
