Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE:B)(TSX:ABX) today held its Annual Sustainability Update, an important forum for direct engagement with stakeholders focused on sustainability performance and priorities. The webinar follows the recent publication of the company’s comprehensive 2024 Sustainability Report and highlights key achievements across Barrick’s global operations.
The company continues to advance foundational growth projects designed to create long-term value for all stakeholders through genuine partnerships. Barrick’s sustainability priorities include comprehensive reporting against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), maintaining its unwavering commitment to workplace safety, and proactive forecasting and management of greenhouse gas emissions.
“Our sustainability strategy isn’t just a framework — it’s how we create lasting, responsible impact,” said Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow. “Mining done right is a powerful force for development. When our host communities succeed, we succeed too.”
New Summary Sustainability Report
Barrick also announced the publication of its standalone Summary Sustainability Report, designed to provide stakeholders with a more accessible overview of the Company’s sustainability performance and impact.
“While the 2024 Sustainability Report is comprehensive and we recognize the importance of a range of disclosures, the reporting landscape has evolved such that these reports continue to grow to meet various expectations,” said Bristow. “Our new Summary Report provides an open and digestible account of how we operate at all sites — from Africa to the Americas, Papua New Guinea to Peru — to share the benefits of mining, keep workers safe, protect the natural environment and deliver tangible, lasting social and economic value.”
The summary report focuses on measurable impact and encompasses Barrick’s sustainability performance over the six years since the merger that formed today’s Barrick.
Key sustainability achievements achieved during this period include the company’s evolving power profile toward renewable and cleaner energy sources, the distribution of over $70 billion to workers, local businesses, community projects and governments, and local partnerships formed to build schools, health clinics, drinking water access and other critical infrastructure — alongside investments in quality teachers, nurses and the equipment required to support these facilities.
The Annual Sustainability Update webinar and Summary Sustainability Report reinforce Barrick’s commitment to transparent reporting and stakeholder engagement as the company continues to advance its sustainability strategy across its global portfolio.
