DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24NEM&src=ctag” target=”_blank”gt;$NEMlt;/agt;–Newmont
Goldcorp Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) (Newmont Goldcorp or the
Company) today announced that the Company was ranked 20th on
Corporate Responsibility Magazine’s (CR Magazine) 100
Best Corporate Citizens list for 2019. Newmont Goldcorp was the sole
mining company in the top 20 and one of only two miners to make the
magazine’s 20th annual list.
“This recognition is another indicator of how deeply sustainability is
embraced by our employees and integrated into our culture,” said Gary
Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer. “We recognize that consistently
strong environmental and social performance is central to creating
long-term value for all of our stakeholders. Not only is it the right
thing to do, it is a key measure of how well our business is run
overall.”
Ranking the 100 Best Corporate Citizens was based on 134 disclosure and
performance factors in seven categories: climate change, employee
relations, environment, finance, governance, human rights and
stakeholders and society. Research for the list was conducted by ISS
Corporate Solutions — the responsible-investing research arm of
Institutional Shareholder Services — and ranks the top 10 percent of
businesses in the Russell 1000 Index based on publicly available
resources, rather than company submissions.
Last fall, Newmont was named
the mining sector leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index
for an unprecedented fourth consecutive year. In 2018, Newmont’s
assessment grade in CDP’s (formerly known as the Climate Disclosure
Project) Climate Change questionnaire also improved to “A-” (up from “B”
in 2017), and Newmont was one of 230 companies named to Bloomberg’s
2019 Gender-Equality Index, achieving a score of 84 out of 100 —
above the Index average of 73. In December of last year, Newmont also
was recognized in a ranking
by the Drucker Institute and The Wall Street Journal of the
top 250 best managed companies, based in part on high scores in employee
engagement and social responsibility.
More information on Newmont Goldcorp’s safety, economic, environmental
and social performance can be found in the Company’s annual
sustainability report, Beyond
the Mine.
