Wheaton Precious Metals Recognized by Corporate Knights as one of the 2026
Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations

 

Vancouver, British Columbia - Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. ("Wheaton" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce it has been named once again to
Corporate Knights' 2026 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list, marking
the third consecutive year of recognition for leadership in sustainable value
creation.

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 (http://www.futureofmining.ca) , 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.

Corporate Knights' 2026 ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable
corporations is based on a rigorous assessment of all publicly listed
companies with revenue over US$1 billion. Wheaton will also be included in the
Global 100 Index, which represents a benchmark for sustainability excellence.
The Company was also named by Corporate Knights as one of the 2025 Best 50
Corporate Citizens in Canada.
