DATA DRIVEN CHANGE

Our team is deeply committed to reducing the impacts of the built environment.

These targets and priorities have been based on our Environment, Sustainability and Governance (ESG) strategy and will be reported on an annual basis.

our strategic framework

Warrington PCI Management’s Environmental Sustainability Framework describes the key elements of our company’s strategy. The inside of the circle represents the organization’s five key areas of focus. “Resilience” surrounds this inner circle as a sixth focus area, highlighting WPM’s efforts to integrate resiliency measures into all aspects of the sustainability strategy.

The outermost circle describes WPM’s six-step process for measuring, tracking, progressing and communicating the company’s sustainability performance in each focus area. Each of the framework’s components supports WPM’s commitment to low carbon and climate-resilient operations.

Our ESG Journey

Over the last several years we have continued to work on and refine our sustainability program. We started by taking stock of our current sustainability achievements, engaging with our stakeholders to set our direction and laying the foundations for a robust performance software system. We have solidified our commitment to integrating sustainability into our business practices by creating a Vice President of Sustainability role that reports directly to our President and by establishing a leadership-level Sustainability Commitee to provide guidance on our efforts.

‍Looking forward, we are commited to improving our data collection and analysis systems in the areas of energy, waste and water and setting targets for all aspects of our sustainability program. We are conducting a materiality assessment to confirm strategic priorities and are considering appropriate reporting frameworks to ensure transparency and accountability. All of these initiatives will inform the development of a comprehensive Environment, Sustainability and Governance (ESG) strategy in 2023. Our ESG strategy will outline how we measure and evaluate our performance and systems, show our commitment with a robust set of targets and plans, lay the foundation for implementing actions and put us on track to confirm and shares our ESG results on an annual basis.
