Julien Baudrand, senior vice-president of sustainability, commented: "In 2025, we focused on reinforcing the systems, controls and behaviours to ensure sustainability performance is consistently delivered across our operations. We made tangible progress in critical risk management, water and tailings governance, and climate change action. These efforts strengthen our ability to manage current and future risks pro-actively while supporting the development of new projects."
