Name Sherritt International Corporation
Describe nature of activities, brands, products and services Sherritt is a world leader in using
hydrometallurgical processes to mine and
refine nickel and cobalt – metals deemed
critical for the energy transition. Sherritt’s Moa
Joint Venture has a current estimated mine life
of 25 years and has embarked on an expansion
program focused on increasing annual mixed
sulphide precipitate production by
approximately 20% of contained nickel and
cobalt. The Company’s Power division, through
its ownership in Energas S.A., is the largest
independent energy producer in Cuba with
installed electrical generating capacity of 506
MW, representing approximately 10% of the
national electrical generating capacity in Cuba.
The Energas facilities are comprised of two
combined cycle plants that produce low-cost
electricity from one of the lowest carbon
emitting sources of power in Cuba. Sherritt’s
common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock
Exchange under the symbol “S”.

increased from 6,745,700 GJ in 2022 to
7,503,021.400 GJ in 2023, representing a 31%
increase. This resulted in an overall increase in
Scope 1 emissions as gas turbines are the main
source of power generation.

Scope 1
The total amount of gross global Scope 1 GHG emissions (CO₂-e) (tonne) 3,962,217.297


Data Table - Direct (Scope 1) GHG Emissions
Discuss any change in its Scope 1 emissions from the previous reporting period, including whether the change was due to emissions reductions, divestment, acquisition, mergers, changes in output, and/or changes in calculation methodology (i.e. any changes the entity made to the measurement approach, inputs and assumptions during the reporting period and the reasons for those changes, if any) 2023 Scope 1 emissions for the Metals
business, which is inclusive of the Fort Site and
Moa Nickel, remained within the historical
range as there were no material changes in
activities or operations from previous years.

However, an increase in net power generation
for the Energas business resulted in a
subsequent increase in 2023 Scope 1 emissions
for Sherritt.
The entity may, where relevant, provide a breakdown of its emissions per resource produced or business unit
Sherritt discloses Scope 1 emissions on behalf
of our JV partners. Accordingly, the total
emissions attributed to Sherritt in this report,
and other sustainability reports prepared by
the Corporation, overrepresent Sherritt's
specific Scope 1 emissions. The total of Scope 1
emissions that can be attributed to Sherritt are
50% for Moa Nickel and Fort Site combined,
and 33% for the Energas business due to the
level of ownership by Sherritt in each joint
venture. Furthermore, any analysis conducted
to assess the emission intensities of Sherritt’s
businesses or product, should consider that the
Sherritt’s Metals business is comprised of the
Fort Site and Moa Nickel and the Energas
business is comprised of various other sites.
Production totals for each separate business
should be used to calculate emission intensities.
Discuss short-term, medium-term and long-term strategy or plan to manage its Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Refer to Sherritt's 2023 Climate Report.

reported between 2022 and 2023. This is due
to a change in calculation method, including
conversion factor used, that has resulted in
increased data accuracy for Energas Scope 2
emissions data.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Sherritt
Scope 2
The total amount of gross global Scope 2 GHG emissions (CO₂-e) (tonne) 177,357.227
Sherritt discloses GHG emissions on behalf of
our JV partners. Accordingly, the total
emissions attributed to Sherritt in this report,
and other sustainability reports prepared by
the Corporation, overrepresent Sherritt's true
Scope 2 emissions. The total of Scope 2
emissions that can be attributed to Sherritt are
50% for Moa Nickel and Fort Site combined,
and 33% for the Energas business due to the
level of ownership by Sherritt in each joint
venture. Furthermore, any analysis conducted
to assess the emission intensities of Sherritt’s
businesses or product, should consider that the
Sherritt’s Metals business is comprised of the
Fort Site and Moa Nickel and the Energas

Varadero site. In 2023 freshwater use returned
to routine levels.

Analyse and list all operations for water risks and identify activities that withdraw and consume water in locations with High (40–80%) or Extremely High (>80%) Baseline Water Stress as classified by the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Water Risk Atlas tool, Aqueduct In 2023, due to drought conditions in the
region, the North Saskatchewan River was
classified with High Water Stress. Raw water is
withdrawn from the North Saskatchewan River
by the Fort Site for various onsite uses, such as
process water, cooling water, fire water, and
boiler feed water. Water withdrawal by the
Fort Site is permitted and within Licence
parameters.

Please note that this is a conservative
calculation as the water stress designation for
the North Saskatchewan River varies

Disclose the amount of freshwater water that was consumed in its operations (in thousands of cubic meters) 18,155.027
Analyse and list all operations for water risks and identify activities that withdraw and consume water in locations with High (40–80%) or Extremely High (>80%) Baseline Water Stress as classified by the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Water Risk Atlas tool, Aqueduct Does not apply for Energas and Moa Nickel
operations. Both these operations do not
interact with water bodies classified as being in
High or Extremely High Water Stress locations
as defined by the WRI Water Risk Atlas tool,
Aqueduct.

In 2023, due to drought conditions in the
region, the North Saskatchewan River was
classified with High Water Stress. Raw water is
withdrawn from the North Saskatchewan River
by the Fort Site for various onsite uses, such as
process water, cooling water, fire water, and
boiler feed water. Water withdrawal by the
Fort Site is permitted and within Licence
parameters.

Please note that this is a conservative
calculation as the water stress designation for
the North Saskatchewan River varies
throughout the year and historical data is not
provided by the WRI Water Risk Atlas tool.
Disclose the freshwater withdrawn in locations with High or Extremely High Baseline Water Stress as a percentage of the total water withdrawn Does Not Apply

Interactions with Water As A Shared Resource
Describe how the organization interacts with water, including how and where water is withdrawn, consumed, and discharged, and the water-related impacts caused or contributed to, or directly linked to the organization’s activities, products or services by a business relationship (e.g., impacts caused by runoff) Sherritt's Water Management Standard
requires all sites to implement a water
monitoring program that addresses surface
water and groundwater, in where both water
quality and water quantity monitoring
parameters have been informed by identified
risks. The Standard dictates that sites are
required to maintain records of facility-level
water quality and quantity data and to conduct
regular trend analyses to inform iterative water
management decision making processes.
Describe the approach used to identify water-related impacts, including the scope of assessments, their timeframe, and any tools or methodologies used Sherritt’s Water Management Standard
requires sites to identify and assess facility-
level risks related to surface water and
groundwater.  Sites are required to establish
water performance objectives that include
controls, response and contingency plans, and
monitoring for the relevant water risks. Where
relevant, sites are required to identify and
engage with relevant water-related
stakeholders to better understand how they
use water resources, including water-related
local practices, beliefs, customs and traditional
knowledge in the case that water-related
impacts arise.
Describe how water-related impacts are addressed, including how the organization works with stakeholders to steward water as a shared resource, and how it engages with suppliers or customers with significant water-related impacts Water management at each of our sites is
informed by site specific requirements and the
application of overarching principles contained
within Sherritt's Water Management Standard.
At all sites, water management is a cooperative
effort between Sherritt and the appropriate
regulatory agencies.
Explain the process for setting any water-related goals and targets that are part of the organization’s management approach, and how they relate to public policy and the local context of each area with water stress Sherritt has established public targets related
to water recycling objectives as part of our
current 5-year Sustainability Goals. These
targets were selected based on the water risk
profile of the sites (moderate to low risk), and
operational optimization opportunities.
