TECK REPORTS 2023 SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE

Teck Resources Ltd. today released its annual sustainability report, highlighting the company's performance in 2023 and progress in key areas including climate and nature.

"At Teck, we are committed to responsibly producing the critical minerals the world needs to create a low-carbon future," said Jonathan Price, president and chief executive officer. "Teck is working to further strengthen the company's sustainability performance, including setting a goal of net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across the company's operations by 2050, and being one of the first mining companies to commit to supporting a nature positive future by 2030."

Teck's approach to responsible mining is underpinned by a long-term sustainability strategy, which sets out goals in the areas of health and safety, climate change, circularity, the company's people, water, tailings management, communities and indigenous peoples, and biodiversity and closure.

Teck's 2023 sustainability achievements included:

  • Conserved or restored an additional 37,900 hectares in 2023, for a total of almost 52,000 hectares conserved since launching the company's "nature positive" goal in 2022;

  • Provided over $32-million to support local communities and indigenous peoples for programs focusing on nature, climate, community wellness, education and equity;

  • Invested $388-million through procurement from indigenous businesses;

  • Announced agreements with shipping companies Norden, Canadian Pacific Kansas City and Oldendorff Carriers intended to reduce CO2 emissions in the company's steelmaking coal supply chain through innovative technology, in line with the company's ambition to achieve net-zero Scope 3 emissions by 2050;

  • Achieved capacity to treat 77.5 million litres of water per day at the company's steelmaking coal operations as part of the Elk Valley water quality plan;

  • Focused on environmental responsibility at the company's expanded Quebrada Blanca (QB) operations, including securing 100-per-cent renewable power, and implementing the first large-scale use of desalinated seawater in place of freshwater for mining in the Tarapaca region of Chile.

Teck's 2023 sustainability report and annual report are available on the company's website. Other reports available from Teck including the company's economic contribution report and the TCFD-(Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)-aligned climate change outlook 2021 report, are also available on the disclosure portal.

In 2023, the company's Trail operations became the first stand-alone zinc processing facility to achieve Zinc Mark verification under the Copper Mark program and, in February, 2024, the company's Red Dog operations was awarded the Zinc Mark. the company's QB and Carmen de Andacollo operations also achieved Copper Mark in 2023, in recognition of environmentally and socially responsible production practices. As a result, all of Teck's managed base metals operations are now verified and recognized through Copper Mark for strong environmental and social performance.
