Cameco Releases 2024 Sustainability Report

Cameco Releases 2024 Sustainability Report

Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) released its 2024 Sustainability Report today, which communicates the initiatives and key metrics that demonstrate Cameco's progress to date and the continual advancement of our sustainability reporting.

"As a responsible company focused on creating long-term, sustainable value for all our stakeholders, we are taking the appropriate actions and making decisions to look after our employees, support our communities, and reduce our environmental impact," Cameco President and CEO Tim Gitzel said.

Cameco is committed to transparency and accountability for quality reporting on sustainability matters to our providers of capital, customers, employees, regulators, local Indigenous Peoples, communities around our operations, and other stakeholders.

For more than 15 years, we have disclosed our sustainability performance through an extensive range of environment, safety, social, economic, and governance indicators.

Sustainability highlights from 2024 include:

  • Completing physical climate risk assessments at our U.S. operations in Nebraska and Wyoming;
  • Launching a pre-trades training program for Residents of Saskatchewan's North, where ten female students began courses on industrial and heavy-duty mechanics, carpentry, electrical, plumbing and welding;
  • Removing the Port Hope legacy UF 6 plant, where over 125,000 hours were spent over five years to address legacy waste inherited from historic operations — a major milestone of our Vision in Motion project;
  • Achieving our goal to publish our Scope 3 emissions value and quantification method, as well as engage with value chain partners that together make up 59% of our total Scope 3 emissions, to better understand emission-reducing initiatives in our value chain;
  • Acknowledging 51% of our workforce at our northern Saskatchewan operations self-identified as Indigenous; and,
  • Celebrating that 71% of all our spending on services at our northern Saskatchewan mine sites was with northern-owned businesses.

"Looking forward, I want us to continue to safely produce uranium fuel in a way that our people are proud of. We remain committed to pursuing sustainability and providing a respectful workplace that is reflective of the communities where we operate," Gitzel said.

In this report, Cameco has incorporated relevant Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) performance indicators and continued its progress toward integrating the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The report can be downloaded or read online at www.cameco.com/about/sustainability.

Cameco's board of directors and executive team oversee the company's sustainability strategy, execution, and reporting. In addition to SASB and TCFD, the report contains other key performance indicators that we believe have an important bearing on Cameco's long-term sustainability, some of which are unique to our company and some of which are based on the GRI Standards framework that we used as the basis of our sustainability reporting prior to 2020. For the third year, we have obtained a third-party limited assurance report on selected performance indicators.
