Sprott Sprott Inc. Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") OVERVIEW REPORTS & FILINGS PRESENTATIONS PRESS RELEASES GOVERNANCE ESG BOARD OF DIRECTORS DRIP PLAN AGM Sprott Inc. is committed to the highest standards in sustainable investing with the view to giving back more to both environmental and local social causes in connection with the opening and operating mines throughout the world. Responsible investing is an increasingly sophisticated endeavor across the investment world and affects all sectors of the global economy. For the precious metals mining sector, substantial innovation is replacing a historically patchy approach to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") issues. Increased institutional and investor demands have helped to shift attitudes and policies in favor of much stronger ESG policies. Sprott ESG Policy Statement Sprott Inc. believes it is part of our corporate responsibility to deliver returns by being a responsible investor. We believe that integrating ESG matters into investment decision-making processes and active ownership practices are key tenets to being a responsible investor.
