Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. has been named to Corporate Knights' 2026 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list for the third consecutive year, according to a company announcement. The recognition reflects updated methodology that evaluates sustainable investments and revenue, highlighting how Wheaton's streaming model supports the clean economy through responsible mining partners. The company stated that this recognition underscores its focus on long-term value creation, climate solutions, and clean technology initiatives.
Among these initiatives is the Future of Mining Challenge, which targets sustainable water management solutions and will award US$1 million to a winning cleantech company in March 2026. Wheaton will also be included in the Global 100 Index and was previously named one of Corporate Knights' 2025 Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada. This consistent recognition demonstrates the company's ongoing commitment to environmental, social, and governance principles within the mining sector.
Wheaton Precious Metals is the world's premier precious metals streaming company, providing shareholders with access to a high-quality portfolio of low-cost, long-life mines around the world. Through strategic streaming agreements, Wheaton partners with mining companies to secure a portion of their future precious metals production. The company employs due diligence practices with a goal of unlocking long-term value for shareholders while supporting the broader mining industry to deliver the commodities society needs through access to capital.
The company's sustainability approach is integrated into its business model, which involves providing upfront capital to mining partners in exchange for the right to purchase a percentage of future production at predetermined prices. This model enables Wheaton to influence environmental and social standards across its partner network while generating returns for investors. The recognition by Corporate Knights validates this approach as contributing meaningfully to sustainable development goals within the resource extraction industry.
