FNV: TSX | NYSE 97 TCFD Disclosure A scenario analysis is an important tool for our company and our stakeholders to better understand our strategy for climate-related risks and opportunities and to assess how this strategy positions our company in a low-carbon future. The TCFD recommends that organizations conduct at least one climate scenario analysis at 2°C (i.e. average global temperatures of 2°C above pre-industrial levels) or lower to evaluate the potential resiliencies of strategic plans and to identify options for increasing business resiliency to plausible climate-related risks and opportunities through adjustments to strategic and financial plans. We have chosen to apply a 2°C scenario, focusing particularly on the implications and outcomes for our existing gold and energy assets that generated approximately three-quarters of our 2021 revenues, and the climate-related risks and investment opportunities relating to these commodities. The scenario analysis assumes that our strategy will be focused upon growing our exposure to gold and other precious metals, but also with investments in other metals when good opportunities become available. To guide our 2°C scenario analysis, we have also incorporated certain data and assumptions from the International Energy Agency’s (“IEA”) 2020 Sustainable Development Scenario (the “SDS”)*, which are summarized in the Highlights and Assumptions table below. The SDS demonstrates a plausible path until 2050 to concurrently achieve universal energy access, set a path towards meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement on climate change and significantly reduce air pollution. Although ambitious, demanding a set of dramatic new actions from governments, companies, investors and citizens, this scenario and its extended time horizon (prior IEA scenarios stopped at 2040) aligns with the increasing commitments of our mining and energy operators to achieve “net-zero” emissions by 2050. It also applies the most stringent assessment of the resilience of our company’s business model and strategy in the face of climate-related risk.
