This year's Global 100 ranking reflects Corporate Knights' updated methodology, which evaluates sustainable investments and sustainable revenue. A key element of the Global 100 scoring framework assesses how Wheaton's streaming business advances the clean economy and reflects the responsible operational standards of our mining partners. \"Being recognized again in 2026 reinforces that sustainability is foundational to how we create long‑term value. It directly reflects the caliber of our mining partners and the critical importance of mining to the clean economy,\" said Randy Smallwood, Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton. \"We believe that pursuing the highest standards across our portfolio is essential to Wheaton's growth and supports our goal of delivering superior, long-term returns to all of our stakeholders. This ranking validates that our approach is working.\" \"Furthermore, our commitment to advancing climate solutions and supporting clean technologies within the mining industry remains central to our strategy,\" Mr. Smallwood added, referencing the company's Future of Mining Challenge, designed to accelerate efficiency and environmental innovation across the sector. Through the Future of Mining Challenge, Wheaton has invited cleantech companies from around the world to submit solutions that address sustainable water management in mining. The winner of the challenge, to be announced in March 2026, will be awarded US$1,000,000 to advance their technology.
