double materiality assessment financial

"In 2025, Wheaton completed a refreshed double materiality assessment to identify and prioritize the sustainability topics..."

A double materiality assessment looks both at how environmental, social and governance issues can affect a company’s finances and at how the company’s actions affect the environment and society. Think of it as a two-sided checklist that shows risks and opportunities coming into the business (like weather damaging a house) and impacts going out from the business (like the house causing neighborhood flooding). Investors use it to judge financial risk, regulatory exposure, reputation and long-term value tied to sustainability performance.

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards financial

"Wheaton's Sustainability Report is informed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards..."

Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) financial

"informed by the ... Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Asset Management and Metals and Mining Standards..."

A sustainability accounting standards board (SASB) develops industry-specific standards that tell companies which environmental, social, and governance issues are likely to affect financial performance and should be disclosed to investors. Think of it as a checklist that makes sustainability information consistent and comparable across companies, helping investors judge risks and opportunities—like assessing how well different cars score on fuel efficiency when deciding which to buy.

Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) financial

"and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework."

A set of recommended disclosures on how climate change creates financial risks and opportunities for a company, covering governance, strategy, risk management and metrics. Think of it like a standardized inspection report that helps investors compare how well different companies identify and prepare for climate-related threats and chances; clearer, consistent reporting makes it easier to assess long-term risk, value and where to put capital.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995..."

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
