Wheaton Precious Metals named to 2025 Global 100 list

VANCOUVER - Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE:WPM) Corp., a leading precious metals streaming company, has been recognized by Corporate Knights as one of the 2025 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations. This announcement comes as the company continues to focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices in its operations and partnerships.

The Global 100 list, which assesses over 8,300 public companies with revenues exceeding US$1 billion, acknowledged Wheaton for its sustainability efforts and responsible business practices. Key performance indicators such as pay linked to sustainability, CEO-to-average worker pay, and board diversity in terms of gender and ethnicity contributed to the company's high rating.

Wheaton's President and CEO, Randy Smallwood, expressed pride in the company's commitment to ESG excellence and its collaborative efforts with mining partners to promote responsible mining practices. Smallwood highlighted that while Wheaton does not manage mining operations directly, ESG considerations are integral to their due diligence for new streaming opportunities and ongoing sustainability initiatives.

In addition to its ESG achievements, Wheaton has also supported innovation in the mining sector through the Future of Mining Challenge, launched in September 2024. The challenge invites cleantech companies to propose solutions for more efficient and environmentally friendly mining operations, with a US$1,000,000 award for the winning technology to be announced at the PDAC Convention in Toronto.

Wheaton's inclusion in the Global 100 Index serves as a benchmark for sustainability excellence and follows its previous recognition as one of the Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada in 2024.

The company, listed on the Toronto, New York, and London Stock Exchanges under the ticker WPM, is known for its high-quality portfolio of low-cost, long-life mines and its strategic streaming agreements with mining companies. Wheaton's approach to responsible mining and commitment to unlocking long-term shareholder value while providing capital for the broader mining industry reflects its position as a leader in the precious metals streaming space.

This recognition is based on a press release statement from Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.
