"It is an incredible honour to be recognized by Corporate Knights in its
annual ranking of the world's most sustainable companies," said Randy
Smallwood, Wheaton's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This achievement
is reflective of our commitment to operating responsibly in all areas of our
business and represents the quality of the mining partners that we work with
to deliver the commodities our society needs. We remain dedicated to further
enhancing our sustainability efforts, setting ambitious targets, and
collaborating with our mining partners."
