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 the Port Hope conversion facility through a formal radiation protection program and dedicated personnel who ensure that doses to workers are as low as reasonably achievable. The program ensures that radiation protection is considered in the physical design of all facilities and operating procedures. It also provides for systematic monitoring of radiation in work areas and tracking the exposures of individual workers using a combination of monitoring devices and health testing. Radiation exposures at the facility are far below regulatory 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.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 Incidents and Other Events​​Environmental incidents and other events are reported to regulatory agencies as required by federal and provincial regulations.

The operation exceeded our forecast of 18 million pounds (100% basis) as a result of higher productivity and our ability to temporarily adjust annual mine production to make up for past annual production shortfalls, as permitted under our CNSC licence and provincial approval.During the year, we:produced from and continued development work in the CLMain orebody in alignment with our long-term production plansuccessfully executed a planned 28-day annual maintenance outagecompleted construction outfitting activities on one production tunnel that will support production targets in 2026substantially progressed physical surface work for development of the CLExt portion of the orebody initial mining zonecrushed concrete aggregate to support backfill operations and development activitiesUnderground developmentUnderground mine development continued in 2025. We completed development of one production crosscut in the western portion of CLMain and continued development of one production crosscut in the eastern portion of CLMain. Development also continued for access to the CLExt orebody on both 480 and 500m level.Planning for the futureIn 2026, we expect to produce 17.5 million to 18 million pounds (100% basis) at Cigar Lake; our share is approximately 9.5 to 10.0 million pounds.In 2026, we plan to continue production and development activities in CLMain, as well as development drifts to access CLExt in alignment with our long-term mine plan. We will start freeze hole drilling and freeze hole activation for CLExt and continue earthworks and construction of surface services to support the expansion of freeze activities required for future production from CLExt.See full Quarterly ReportEnvironment & SafetyWorker safety, protection of the environment and proper decommissioning after mining is completed, are of the utmost importance to Cameco.See moreReserves & ResourcesOur mineral reserves and resources are the foundation of our company and fundamental to our success.See more

Environment & Safety

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.

We are dedicated to our core value of integrity and apply high standards of ethical behaviour and transparency to our business activities.The following are highlights of selected governance topics. Please see our 2024 Sustainability Report for more information or Our Performance for all indicator results.Governance for sustainability mattersWe are dedicated to conducting our business responsibly and overseeing and managing our risks in a diligent manner.  We integrate key sustainability factors (safety performance, a clean environment, and supportive communities) into our executive and employee compensation strategy as we believe these factors are critical to Cameco’s long-term success.Role of our boardOur board is responsible for overseeing the integration of sustainability principles throughout the company. The board’s goal is to help ensure that we operate as a sustainable business, optimizing financial returns while effectively managing risk, including sustainability matters and climate-related risks.Management's roleOur executives work with leaders and experts across the company to better understand and manage sustainability topics and climate-related risks and opportunities. The chart below illustrates how sustainability topics and climate-related information flows between groups with sustainability and climate-related responsibilities across Cameco. Learn more about governance for sustainability mattersBusiness Ethics and Integrity At Cameco, one of our four core values is integrity. Through our personal and professional integrity, we lead by example, earn trust, honour our commitments, and conduct our business ethically. Our reputation for maintaining the highest standards of ethical behaviour has helped Cameco to grow into the global business it is today.Our Code of Conduct and Ethics guides how we uphold our value of integrity. The Code applies to all employees, officers and members of Cameco’s board and subsidiary boards and sets out our principles and guidelines for ethical behaviour. Our corporate ethics program is underpinned by:Conduct and ethics committee - Our conduct and ethics committee shares the responsibility for oversight and reporting of ethics matters and practices to executive officers and the board.Conduct and ethics training - All new employees take a mandatory Code of Conduct and Ethics training course. Targeted employees are required to take mandatory refresher courses annually.Ethics hotline - Through a third-party service provider, we also offer an anonymous ethics hotline that is open to all employees, contractors, and suppliers from across our operations. Information about the hotline is broadly communicated.Learn more about our conduct and ethicsTax Transparency Cameco’s commitment to ethical behaviour and integrity includes transparency into our corporate taxation. We pay significant amounts of taxes across multiple jurisdictions, including for income taxes. As a result, our consolidated tax rate is a blend of rates applicable in Canada and in the jurisdictions of our foreign subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, we collect and remit uranium royalties, property taxes, sales and use tax, indirect taxes, and employment taxes from our more than 2,800 employees.At Cameco, we believe that tax is a fundamental component of overall financial performance. We are guided by our Code of Conduct and Ethics and comply with all tax laws that apply to our operations. Our tax department works collaboratively with other business units to preserve long-term value, and we monitor and adjust to legislative changes in each jurisdiction where we do business. We have annually reported payments to governments, as required by Canada’s Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (ESTMA). Extending beyond tax transparency, our 2024 ESTMA report details royalties, fees, and other payments made to Indigenous, municipal, provincial, and federal governments in Canada, the US, and Australia by Cameco and our subsidiaries for commercial development related to the exploration and extraction of minerals.Learn more about tax transparencyResponsible Supply Chain We are committed to fair competition in all dealings with suppliers, supporting local procurement, and making our purchases honestly and objectively. We use ISNetworld to screen contractors who provide services at our sites. All contractors must meet our basic requirements including demonstrating technical capabilities and having adequate safety practices and appropriate insurance in place. As a supplier to the Canadian nuclear industry, our fuel services facilities follow Canadian Standards Association’s (CSA) N299 standard, which sets out quality assurance program requirements for the supply of items and services for nuclear power plants.We also want to make sure that our suppliers and contractors respect and uphold our ethical, safety and environmental practices. Our Supplier Code of Conduct and Ethics outlines our expectations for those who provide goods and/or services to Cameco, including their representatives and employees. The Supplier Code requires our suppliers to adhere to all human rights, labour, and employment laws in the countries where they operate.Human rights in the supply chainWe are committed to respecting and observing the protection of human rights and share the values reflected in international proclamations about human rights, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We respect human rights wherever we operate and prohibit human trafficking, slavery, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and our supply chain, which is reinforced by our Supplier Code of Conduct and Ethics.Commitment to local procurement We are committed to using local suppliers wherever we operate. It is a commitment codified in our Procurement of Goods and Services Policy and exemplified by our spending in northern Saskatchewan, where we have procured more than $594 million in services from northern-owned companies over the past three years. In 2024, 71% of all spend on services at our northern Saskatchewan mine sites was with northern-owned businesses. In northern Saskatchewan, we have commitments through collaboration agreements with a select number of construction and civil works companies that are Preferred Northern Contractors (PNCs). All PNCs must also follow our standards.Learn more about our responsible supply chainLearn more2024 Sustainability Report - GovernanceOur Performance for all indicator results.Governance at CamecoCode of Conduct and EthicsGovernanceLeadershipManagement Proxy Circular
