Our Performance
Performance Table
Below are the metrics that describe our sustainability performance for the last three years. The reference column indicates the alignment of that specific metric with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) indicators. In instances where there is no SASB metric suggested, we include the corresponding reference to the metric suggested by the GRI standards. Note that in some cases a single metric aligns with both the SASB and GRI standards but only the SASB reference is noted.
All references that start with EM-MM refer to SASB metrics for the Extractives & Minerals Processing Sector – Metals & Mining.

Cameco’s North Butte operation is classified in an area of high water stress (3–4). Cameco withdraws fresh water from a drinking water aquifer at North Butte for use in firewater suppression systems, bathrooms, and sinks within surface buildings. The quantity of water withdrawn is < 5,000 m³ annually. This is such a small proportion of total water withdrawn that it is not measurable within the corporate total. | ||||

Cameco’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are presented as tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂e). CO₂e is used to compare the emissions from various GHG sources based on their global warming potential (GWP). Cameco adopted the GWPs published by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), which reference the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In alignment with changes at ECCC, Cameco uses GWPs from IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report for Canadian operations, whereas US operations continue to use GWPs from IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report in alignment with US EPA guidance at the time of calculation. Cameco’s significant sources of direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions include those generated by the consumption of fuel from nonrenewable sources and industrial processes. Emission factors are country- and fuel-specific. For our Canadian operations, we have used emission factors published by ECCC through the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. For our US operations, we use the emission factors published by the US EPA in the most recent Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories document. Indirect GHG emissions are calculated by applying a utility- or region-specific emission factor to the amount of electricity purchased from that area, which is determined through utility invoices.

| Scope 3 emissions | tonnes CO2e | 480,000 | 620,000 | 530,000 | We report Scope 3 emissions using the operational control approach. This means we include the emissions of any owned but non-operated assets (Inkai, Westinghouse) as investments in Scope 3 Category 15 and we do not include their upstream/downstream emissions in other categories of Scope 3. Note that there is some overlap in information reported in the Scope 1 and 2 equity share approach and in Scope 3 using operational approach. To avoid double-counting, Scope 3 emissions should be consolidated with Cameco’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions using the operational control approach. |

| Total energy consumed | GJ | 3,735,805 | 3,840,685 | 4,008,728 | EM-MM-130a.1 | Cameco’s energy consumption includes fuels and electricity. Energy consumed as fuel includes propane, natural gas, diesel, and gasoline and is calculated by applying a fuel- and region-specific energy content factor to the consumed volume. Cameco does not utilize renewable energy sources directly. Energy consumed as electricity is converted from kilowatt hours (kWh) to gigajoules (GJ) using a conversion factor of 0.0036 GJ/kWh. Cameco does not sell energy as electricity, heating, cooling, or steam.

Air emissions are reported only for operated facilities in Canada. US are not material for this indicator and are not included. Air emissions of NOx, SO₂, CO, VOCs, PM, PM₁₀, PM₂.₅ and NH₃ are calculated using the guidance provided by ECCC through the National Pollutant Release Inventory. The total air emissions for these constituents include air emissions released through point sources such as process stacks, storage and handling, fugitive emissions, and as a result of road dust. Air emissions of uranium and Hydrogen Fluoride include air emissions released through point sources. We conduct ambient air monitoring and stack sampling. By taking samples from ambient air near our facilities, we can detect the presence and concentration of specific substances of concern, including uranium suspended in air, to determine air quality. At all operating mines and facilities, we collect and verify representative samples of emissions at the point of discharge (i.e., the stack) to determine the total mass of pollutants emitted to the atmosphere. Stack sampling is typically completed more frequently at operations in or near communities compared to remote industrial facilities.

Reported data on public support is taken directly from polling Cameco undertakes in the various regions in which we operate. Data collection is undertaken by marketing research experts using industry-accepted methodology aimed at collecting unbiased opinions of community support. Accuracy of individual polls varies by region and from year to year based on individual sample sizes. It is important to note that polling questions in Ontario are framed in terms of support for Cameco operations specifically while other regions are asked about their support of the uranium industry more broadly.
