Stakeholder Advisory Committee
Agnico Eagle Mines’ Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) is comprised of independent stakeholders with expertise in ESG, community development, Indigenous affairs, mining, reporting, and governance matters. SAC members are selected to be representative of civil society. The group was established in 2011 and meets annually to provide constructive feedback and guidance in areas of focus for Agnico Eagle. SAC provides feedback on our corporate social responsibility efforts and helps us make strategic adjustments to stakeholder engagement activities.
The role and operation of the SAC is one of a number of engagement mechanisms and practices in place at Agnico Eagle that align with international standards and frameworks, including:

The SAC is a relatively unique and valuable arrangement within the Canadian mining sector and provides Agnico Eagle with feedback on our corporate social responsibility efforts and helps us make strategic adjustments to our existing local stakeholder engagement activities.
