SASB

Osisko s’appuie pour la première fois sur des normes du Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (« SASB ») avec ses données de 2021.

Nous considérons que la norme Metals & Mining est destinée aux exploitants miniers et, en tant que telle, n’est pas entièrement applicable au modèle d’affaires de redevances et flux de métaux d’Osisko. Il existe un certain nombre de paramètres qui s’appliquent, et nous les divulguons s’ils sont applicables. De plus, en tant que fournisseurs de capitaux, nous avons complété notre divulgation avec des sujets et des mesures du secteur Asset Management and Custody Activities de SASB. Ces mesures ne sont pas non plus parfaitement applicables aux activités d’Osisko, lorsque c’est le cas, nos rapports comprenaient une explication de la raison pour laquelle la mesure spécifique n’est pas applicable et pourquoi des informations ont été omises.
