Business Wire
Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) released its 2022
Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) Report today. The report
illustrates Cameco’s integration of ESG principles and practices in
its overall strategy and day-to-day operations, including 2022
performance metrics and feature stories highlighting the company’s
ESG commitments and targets.
In this report, Cameco has incorporated relevant Sustainability
Accounting Standards Board (SASB) ESG 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

“This is Cameco’s 18th annual report on our sustainability
performance, capturing a year that was transformative for our
company,” said Cameco President and CEO Tim Gitzel. “We believe
that our sustained focus on the ESG principles highlighted in this
report contributed to our success as a company. We continued to
focus on the safety of our people, collaboration with partner
communities, protection of the environment, development and
diversification of our workforce, and advancing innovation. We
firmly believe that our emphasis on continuous improvement will
generate added value for stakeholders in the years to come, and the
2022 ESG performance results published today are a testament to our
people and that commitment to continuous improvement.”
The 2022 ESG Report includes several notable highlights for
Cameco:
- We completed our Low Carbon Transition Plan that maps out our
net-zero alignment and pathways. A new target was set to reduce our
Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, from our 2015
base year.
- Cameco completed a physical risk assessment for each of our
four northern Saskatchewan operations.
- Cameco marked more than 10 years of supporting the Eastern
Athabasca Regional Monitoring Program in collaboration with
industry, government, and communities. The 2022 results from this
long-term environmental monitoring program once again show that
traditionally harvested foods continue to be safe and healthy
dietary choices for residents of the Athabasca Basin.
- Cameco remained one of Canada’s largest employers of Indigenous
people, with individuals of First Nations or Métis heritage
comprising 50% of the workforce at our operations in northern
Saskatchewan.
- We purchased 80% of the services used at our mines and mills in
northern Saskatchewan from local companies and suppliers. Over the
past three years, Cameco has spent more than $357 million procuring
services from local businesses within the region.
- Cameco provided 12 paid temporary work placements for Residents
of Saskatchewan’s North (RSN) at our mining/milling operations,
with six of the positions designated for female RSNs.
- An Elder’s Advisory Program was developed, under which we
intend to employ Indigenous Elders at each of our northern
Saskatchewan operations starting in 2023.
- For the restarts of the McArthur River mine and Key Lake mill,
a goal was set for the workforce at the two sites to have a greater
proportion of women and Indigenous people than the 2017
pre-shutdown representation levels. This goal was achieved with 15%
female (up from 11% pre-shutdown) and 51% Indigenous representation
(up from 48%).
- All Cameco employees completed Code of Conduct and Ethics
online training in 2022, as well as an information security
course.
- In 2022, Cameco’s board members and executives participated in
climate-focused education sessions presented by a third-party
expert.
“At Cameco, we aim to be good corporate citizens, not only
because it’s an expectation of our stakeholders but because it’s
the right thing to do,” Gitzel said. “As a global company aiming to
support a clean energy future, we strive to operate responsibly,
sustainably, and respectfully. Our commitment to integrating ESG
into all aspects of our business and reporting our progress through
our annual ESG report provides transparency and accountability to
our workers, partner communities, investors, customers,
governments, and the public.”
Cameco’s board of directors and executive team oversee the
company’s ESG strategy, execution, and reporting. For the second
year, a report on a third-party limited assurance on a number of
performance indicators is included. In addition to SASB and TCFD,
the report contains other key ESG 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.
