Wheaton Precious Metals Corp
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp's approach to governing its climate-related lobbying is moderate: the company describes engaging with industry associations to align their indirect policy advocacy with its climate strategy, but does not disclose oversight of direct lobbying or a named governance owner. For instance, Wheaton "sits on two industry associations: The World Gold Council, and the Silver Institute" and "representatives sit on the environmental/ESG committees of these organizations" to "identify if activities are consistent with Wheaton's climate strategy," which indicates a process for aligning indirect lobbying. The company also confirms a commitment to conduct its engagement "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," signaling a formal policy stance. However, we found no evidence of how direct lobbying is managed, no detail on the specific review procedures or reporting cycles, and no disclosure of a specific individual or formal body responsible for overseeing these activities.
