At Agnico Eagle, we take pride in honouring our sustainability commitments while providing high-quality reporting. Thus, it is important to have a thorough understanding of which economic, environmental, and societal topics matter most to our stakeholders, and the significance of our impacts.

We assess these topics regularly and update them through a collaborative process. This includes research studies, stakeholder and operational risk-mapping, surveys, data collection, and engagement with leadership. 

In 2022, we reviewed our materiality process and completed a new assessment that includes all operations covered in the 2022 Sustainability Report. Topics assessed were identified as emerging topics, important topics, priority, or high priority. Priority and high priority topics are considered material for sustainability reporting. As part of the assessment, many topics were renamed to better reflect the current sustainability landscape and our operating realities. 

In this assessment, three new topics were identified: customer and product responsibility, cyber security and digital privacy, and labour relations. Changes relative to last year’s assessment include the addition of security and human rights, cyber security and digital privacy, human capital and labor relations as material topics. No emerging topics were identified in our 2022 assessment.

The results of our 2022 materiality assessment process identified the following topics:
