We are proud to announce that Agnico Eagle has earned a place on the Corporate Knights list of 2021 Global 100 Sustainable Corporations.
With an overall score of 60.6%, Agnico Eagle placed seventy-third and is the top-ranked mining company appearing on the 2021 Global 100 list. This win reinforces our work and commitment to sustainable and responsible gold mining and puts us in good company with many other recognized leaders in sustainability.
While Agnico Eagle has been named to the Corporate Knights list of Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada in previous years, this is the first time the Company has garnered recognition as a leader on the global stage.
The selection process for this year’s list began with a rigorous assessment of 8,080 companies (representing more than US$1 billion in revenues), evaluating them based on a set of environmental, governance, social and economic key performance indicators, including new social criteria reflected by both the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.
