TSX- and NYSE-listed OR Royalties maintains leading positions with environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings agencies, including US-based firms Institutional Shareholder Services and MSCI.

The company outlines in its latest sustainability report for 2025, called ‘Growing Responsibly’, how 2025 marked the start of the company implementing a formal climate change policy to integrate climate risks and opportunities into investment decision-making.

OR Royalties also started screening new royalty and streaming agreements for ESG-related risk factors.

The company in 2025 purchased Gold Standard verified carbon credits to offset Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions related to its work workforce and footprint while contributing more than $625 000 towards community investments.

OR Royalties has contributed a total $1.5-million to communities since 2021 and continues to be recognised as a ‘great place to work’ through certification agency Great Place to Work Canada.

The company focuses on precious metals royalty and streaming agreements in top mining jurisdictions such as Canada, the US and Australia. It holds a portfolio of more than 195 royalties, streams and similar interests.

The group’s cornerstone asset is a net smelter return royalty of between 3% and 5% from Agnico Eagle Mines’ Canadian Malartic Complex, which is one of the world’s largest gold mine operations.

“At OR Royalties, ESG considerations are embedded into how we allocate capital, evaluate opportunities and engage with our stakeholders.

“This year’s edition of ‘Growing Responsibly’ is intended to reflect how that approach came to life in 2025, most notably in our decision-making, in our culture, and in how we work with our mining partners to help advance their sustainability initiatives,” says OR Royalties sustainability and communications VP Heather Taylor.
