Wheaton Precious Metals has emerged as a beacon of sustainability and social responsibility in the precious metals industry, as detailed in its 2024 Sustainability and Climate Change Reports. The company's achievements in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration not only reflect its commitment to sustainable mining practices but also its profound impact on global communities. With top-tier ESG ratings from leading evaluation organizations and recognition on prestigious lists such as Corporate Knights' 2025 Global 100, Wheaton is setting a new standard for responsible business practices.

The company's strategic approach to sustainability is evident in its rigorous ESG screening for new streaming deals, ensuring that all partnerships meet stringent sustainability criteria. This, coupled with the fact that 99% of its production comes from mines aligned with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, underscores Wheaton's dedication to responsible resource extraction. Beyond environmental efforts, Wheaton's social contributions are equally impressive, with over $8.5 million directed towards global causes, including $6 million specifically for partner site communities, fostering local economic and social development.
