TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2025-- Sherritt International Corporation (“Sherritt” or the “Corporation”) (TSX: S) is pleased to announce the release of its 2024 Sustainability Disclosures, including its Annual Sustainability Report, Climate Report, Tailings Management Report and Sustainability Scorecard outlining the Corporation’s performance on environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) matters.

“Sustainability is fundamental to our business, to our social license to operate in our host communities and countries and to our valued customers and other stakeholders,” said Leon Binedell, Executive Chairman, President and CEO of Sherritt. “Our 2024 reports showcase how we are elevating our performance across health and safety, environmental stewardship and responsible production and supply. In 2024, we embarked on a thorough review of our sustainability vision. We refreshed our near-term targets, updated our long-term goals and ensured our sustainability strategy is aligned with the feedback from our partners, customers, communities, and investors. This process has strengthened our resolve to deliver lasting value to all our stakeholders and I am proud to affirm our progress as we mark another milestone year in our sustainability journey. We encourage our stakeholders to review these reports, as your insights and perspectives help shape and drive our shared goals.”

Highlights from Sherritt’s 2024 sustainability reports include:

• Health and Safety
  
  Health and safety remains Sherritt’s highest priority. In 2024, far-reaching enhancements to safety practices and policies were implemented. A series of safety strategy sessions were completed with each operation to create a multi-year roadmap for continued safety enhancements with an initial focus on felt leadership, supervisor training, contractor safety protocols and learning and development to strengthen safety culture and promote safe workplace behaviours at all operations.

• Environmental Stewardship
  
  Sherritt has a strong environmental management system that is designed to align with global standards, comply with regulatory requirements and maintain the Corporation’s social license to operate.
  
  In 2024, Sherritt commenced the Moa JV’s low-capital-intensity tailings project. The project, expected to be completed in late 2026, will be engineered and built to international standards and deliver an environmentally responsible tailings solution that will last for the entirety of the mine’s estimated 25 year life.
  
  Work also continued to identify climate-related risks and opportunities and to develop effective mitigation and management strategies aimed at reducing risk and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. Among the key actions undertaken were completing a climate risk and opportunity assessment for Energas S.A. as well as establishing baseline energy and greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions assessments for Moa Nickel S.A. and Sherritt’s operations in Fort Saskatchewan. These initiatives yielded several findings with the potential to lower GHG emissions intensity, reduce operating costs and enhance compliance with customer requirements.

• Responsible Production and Supply
  
  Sherritt continues to demonstrate its commitment to ethical and responsible production, supply and sourcing practices aligning with internationally-recognized industry frameworks. Sherritt achieved a self-assessed Level A in all of The Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining protocols at Sherritt’s operations in Fort Saskatchewan and confirmed independent validation of its conformance with the London Metal Exchange’s Track B responsible sourcing requirements. Sherritt completed a comprehensive risk assessment of its mineral supply chain against Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) standards, identifying no significant risks, and advanced its Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Road Map, strengthening its commitment to meaningful partnerships with Indigenous communities. As a result of work that began in 2024, Sherritt also became a Participant of the Copper Mark as the Corporation aims to obtain The Nickel Mark award for the refinery facilities in Fort Saskatchewan in the future.

Sherritt’s 2024 Sustainability Report, Climate Report, Tailings Management Report and Sustainability Scorecard are available on Sherritt’s website at www.sherritt.com.

Sherritt’s 2024 Sustainability Report and Sustainability Scorecard were prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosure standards.
