Wheaton Precious Metals Recognized by Corporate Knights as one of
the 2025 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations
Vancouver, British Columbia – Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. (“Wheaton” or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has today been named to Corporate Knights’ 202 5 Global 100 Most
Sustainable Corporations list.
With Corporate Knights’ stated focus on responsible behaviour and sustainable revenue generation, a
significant component of determining the Global 100 score considers the impact of Wheaton’s
streaming business on the clean economy and the responsible business practices of Wheaton’s mining
partners. Corporate Knights rated Wheaton highly for a range of key performance indicators at the
corporate level, including pay linked to sustainability, CEO-average worker pay and gender and ethnic
diversity on the board of directors.
“We are proud to be recognized for our commitment to excellence in ESG practices both in our own
offices and alongside our mining partners, who have a strong track record in responsible mining,” said
Randy Smallwood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton. “We have an incredible team at
Wheaton and are advancing our work with mining partners to deliver the commodities our society
needs. Although we do not manage mining operations, ESG is an important factor in our due diligence
process for new streaming opportunities and once a stream is in place, we collaborate with our mining
partners on a number of sustainability-related initiatives.”
“As the leading precious metals streaming company, Wheaton is committed to financially supporting
climate solutions and clean technology for mining operations ,” continued Smallwood . In September
2024, Wheaton announced the launch of its inaugural Future of Mining Challenge , an initiative that
seeks to support the mining industry to become more efficient while minimizing its environmental
impact.
Through the Future of Mining Challenge, Wheaton has invited cleantech companies from around the
world to submit and propose industry solutions . The winner of the challenge will be awarded
US$1,000,000 to continue to advance their technology and will be announced during the PDAC
Convention in Toronto, the world’s largest annual mining conference.
Corporate Knights’ 2025 ranking of the world’s 100 most sustainable corporations is based on a
rigorous assessment of over more than 8,300 public companies with revenue over US$1 billion.
Wheaton will be included in the Global 100 Index, which represents a benchmark for sustainability
excellence. The company was also recently named by Corporate Knights as one of the 2024 Best 50
Corporate Citizens in Canada.
