Wheaton Precious Metals has released its 2024 Sustainability and Climate Change Reports, demonstrating significant progress in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and commitment to responsible mining practices.

Wheaton Precious Metals has set a new standard for corporate responsibility in the mining industry with its comprehensive 2024 Sustainability and Climate Change Reports, highlighting substantial advancements in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
The reports showcase the company's commitment to sustainable mining by achieving top-tier ESG ratings from prominent global assessment organizations, including Sustainalytics, MSCI, and ISS. Notably, Wheaton was recognized on Corporate Knights' 2025 Global 100 and Canada's Best 50 list, underscoring its leadership in corporate sustainability.
A key metric of the company's ESG screening process reveals that 100% of new streaming deals in 2024 underwent rigorous environmental and social evaluations. Furthermore, 99% of the company's production originated from mines aligned with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, demonstrating a robust approach to responsible resource extraction.
The company's social impact is equally impressive, with over $8.5 million contributed to global causes, including $6 million directed specifically to partner site communities. This investment highlights Wheaton's dedication to supporting local economies and fostering positive relationships in regions where it operates.
The Climate Change Report presents a forward-looking approach to emissions management, revealing that 86% of financed emissions now have science-aligned targets. By aligning with the International Sustainability Standards Board's (ISSB) new S2 standard, Wheaton is positioning itself at the forefront of transparent climate risk reporting.
These achievements represent more than mere corporate metrics; they signal a transformative approach to mining that prioritizes environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and transparent governance. As the global economy increasingly demands sustainable business practices, Wheaton Precious Metals demonstrates how resource extraction can be conducted with minimal environmental impact and maximum social benefit.
