Cameco is one of the world's largest uranium producers. As we seek to bring the benefits of nuclear energy to the world, we're committed to delivering our products safely and responsibly.
Sustainability programming is a core strength for Cameco, and we continue to deliver top-tier performance in the areas of worker safety, community relations and environmental responsibility.
Our sustainable development report tells our stakeholders how we’re performing against key indicators that measure our social, environmental and economic impacts in the areas that matter most to them.
Sustainable Development at Cameco
2016 marks Cameco’s sixth sustainable development report, our first using the new Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 4.0 Sustainability Guidelines. While we do a full report every two years, we provide all our stakeholders with updated information in the years between.
This year’s report shows Cameco’s performance on 32 key GRI indicators as well as two corporate indicators unique to the company. Some of the highlights include:
- Zero significant environmental incidents
- Continued low lost-time injury rate for both employees and contractors
- Local spending of $380 million in 2015, or about 70% of our total
- High levels of public support in locations where we operate.
We encourage all our stakeholders to read our 2016 report and welcome feedback at sustainabledevelopment@cameco.com
