Our Expertise Cameco is a pure-play investment in the growing demand for nuclear energy. We provide nuclear fuel and nuclear power products, services, and technologies across the fuel cycle, augmented by our investment in Westinghouse, in support of the generation of carbon-free, reliable, secure, and affordable energy. Backed by more than 35 years of deep industry experience across the nuclear fuel cycle and set within the context of the transitioning market environment, our strategy is to capture full-cycle value through responsible production planning at our tier one brownfield assets, disciplined marketing activity and long-term contracting and prudent financial management. Growing Demand A growing focus on electrification and decarbonization; increasing populations; demands from the tech sector such as the generative AI revolution; and concerns about energy security and affordability are driving interest in nuclear power and a transition in the nuclear fuel market. Increasingly, countries and companies around the globe are recognizing the critical role nuclear power is expected to play in providing carbon-free and secure baseload power, which was reaffirmed at the 30th Conference of Parties (COP30), with the declaration to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050 now signed by 38 countries. Supplying the World Uranium supply and fuel cycle services are facing several risks: mine depletion, a decade of significant underinvestment, declining secondary supplies, global production shortfalls, supply chain and transportation limitations, and geopolitical challenges. Uncertainty about where nuclear fuel supplies will come from to satisfy growing demand continues to drive long-term contracting activity as risk shifts from producers to utilities. Focus on Sustainability We take pride in our strong sustainable performance and we hold ourselves accountable for high quality and credible reporting on sustainability matters. For over 17 years, we have disclosed our performance through an extensive range of environment, safety, social, economic and governance indicators, guided by a suite of policies, programs and practices. We are striving to achieve a 30% absolute reduction in Cameco’s combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from 2015 levels as a milestone towards our longer-term net-zero ambition.

SafetyWe manage the safety of our workers through programs, systems, and standards, with our Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) Policy providing overarching guidance. There are many aspects of the management system that contribute to a safe work environment, a few examples include:Risk assessments help identify issues and determine the appropriate controls; the corrective action process verifies that incidents and near misses are reported, tracked, investigated and shared with colleagues; and emergency preparedness and planning prepare us to respond to serious incidents.We have developed 12 corporate safety standards to help protect our workers from our most common hazards. Some standards guide our general safety practices, such as our job hazard analysis and our job task observation, and other standards deal with specific hazardous situations (similar to other companies’ life saving rules): such as fall protection, confined space entry, rigging and hoisting, and control of hazardous energy (also referred to as lockout/tagout).Routine audits are conducted to monitor compliance with regulations and our own requirements. These and other aspects of the management system are routinely examined to verify that they continue to be effective at keeping our workers safe.Radiation ProtectionRadiation risks are effectively managed at McArthur River and Key Lake. Each operation has a formal radiation protection program and dedicated personnel who ensure that doses to workers are as low as reasonably achievable. The programs require that radiation protection is considered in the physical design of all facilities and operating procedures. They also provide for systematic monitoring of radiation in work areas and track exposures of individual workers using a combination of monitoring devices and health testing. Radiation exposures at McArthur River and Key Lake are far below below the regulated limits.Environmental ProtectionAt Cameco, protection of the environment is one of our highest corporate priorities during all stages of our activities, from exploration through development, operations, decommissioning, and reclamation.We monitor our performance by tracking corporate and site-specific key performance indicators, conducting environmental monitoring programs, and regularly auditing our adherence to the requirements of these programs We use the information from all of our programs to help us to identify opportunities to improve.Environmental management systemWe have a ISO 14001-certified environmental management system used across our operating sites, which is supported by a corporate Environmental Management Program that outlines the operating requirements sites must meet. Our environmental management system encourages and promotes continuous adaptation of our practices based on new information and technologies.Environmental risk assessmentsWe complete environmental risk assessments to systematically identify, quantify, and to characterize the potential risks to the environment, workers, and the public. We use our environmental risk assessments to inform our decisions and actions. Additionally, we complete an iterative process, where required, to verify that our proposed measures to protect the environment and the public are effective. We review or update the assessments every five years, incorporating results from our environmental monitoring programs and other scientific advances.Environmental performance reportsFor our Saskatchewan operations, every five years we also compare monitoring data collected during the reporting period against predictions contained in approved environmental risk assessments or environmental assessments. By reviewing the data from the performance reports and conducting risks assessments, we are able to demonstrate that human health and the environment in the vicinity of our Saskatchewan operations remains protected. Results from these analyses are also used to inform changes to the environmental monitoring programs conducted at each operation.Corrective action processWe have a corrective action process in place to systematically investigate and address the causes of non-conformance to regulatory requirements or internal standards. The process includes classifying the non-conformance, assigning the appropriate level of investigation (dependent on incident significance), and tracking the recommended corrective actions to prevent and mitigate similar occurrences.AuditsTo support our culture of continuous improvement, our processes and operations undergo regular audits, including:Our environmental management system is audited by a third-party every three years as a requirement to maintain our ISO 14001 certification.Our SHEQ team conducts an internal audit of our SHEQ programs on a three-year cycle. The total audit scope is split in half and executed on a rotating basis. This means that all our sites undergo at least two audits to cover all aspects of our SHEQ programs within every three-year period. The audit follows the ISO 19001 process and encompasses our environmental and safety programs.We also maintain and implement an internal audit program at our corporate office. Results and recommendations from this systematic and documented process are presented to senior management, who are responsible for implementing them and correcting any deficiencies. The internal audit group reports to the audit and finance committee of the board.Environmental MonitoringComprehensive monitoring programs are in place at the McArthur River and Key Lake operations to help ensure that the surrounding environment is protected. Samples of water, air, soil, plants and fish are collected from numerous locations around the sites and tested to confirm that environmental protection systems are effective. Monitoring results are submitted to federal and provincial regulatory authorities for review. Cameco also supports independent regional monitoring downstream of its Saskatchewan operations to ensure there are no cumulative effects on the regional watershed. The extensive monitoring undertaken at McArthur River and Key Lake has identified no significant impact on the surrounding environment.
