Voluntary Commitments & Memberships

Wheaton has made many voluntary commitments and is a member of several organizations to support high standards of sustainability performance. These voluntary commitments allow external stakeholders to hold the company accountable, and provide learning opportunities and forums to exchange best practices with organizations that share our commitment to sustainability.

As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (opens in new tab), Wheaton is committed to the UN’s Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

As a member of the World Gold Council (opens in new tab), Wheaton is committed to the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs), a framework to address key environmental, social and governance issues for the gold mining sector. Since Wheaton is not an operator, it has integrated the RGMPs into its due diligence checklist and encourages gold mining operators to adopt this framework, as outlined in the company’s Partner/Supplier Code of Conduct.

Wheaton signed on to the Black North Initiative (opens in new tab) in 2020. Signatories have committed to the removal of anti-black racism by utilizing a business-first mindset. Wheaton supports several programs in connection.
