The report provides insights into the sustainability challenges we face and the measures we are taking to meet those challenges.
Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk noted that "we are particularly proud of our achievements in the realm of diversity and inclusion at the Board of Directors level and throughout the organization. We have added Indigenous representation on the Board, and we have increased Indigenous participation in our management team. At the board level, 36% of our directors are women and several board committees are chaired by women. On our management team, female representation has risen to 53%."
The report documents the evolution of a safety culture in Seabridge, detailing the comprehensive safety practices introduced in 2023 and the procedures for measuring our progress that have been implemented. The gratifying result was the best safety performance in our company's history.
Our Board of Directors and Sustainability Committee continued the work of assessing our climate and nature-related risks and opportunities. As noted in the report, our KSM Project has the potential to be an industry-leading low carbon copper producer. We continue to look for additional opportunities to decarbonize and optimize our project design. More broadly, our management team has formulated a robust analysis of our carbon footprint as a foundation for future steps towards a net zero profile for our company.
"Seabridge is recognized as an industry leader in engagement with First Nations, forming real working partnerships with our Indigenous neighbours and voluntarily rehabilitating the negative impact of legacy mining. We aim to stay ahead of the expectations of our partners and investors by deepening our understanding of how we can reduce our GHG emissions and our impact on the natural environment. Our aim is to be a trusted and valued member of the communities in which we operate," said Fronk.
