Organizational Profile
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 an estimated mine life of approximately 25 years and is advancing an expansion program focused on increasing annual mixed sulphide precipitate production by 20% of contained nickel and cobalt. The Corporation’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”.

The total amount of gross global Scope 1 GHG emissions (CO₂-e) (tonnes) 347,785.000
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) The Fort Site's 2024 Scope 1 emissions remained within historical range. There were no material changes in activities or operations from previous years.
The entity may discuss the calculation methodology for its emissions disclosure, such as if data are from continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS), engineering calculations, or mass balance calculations Scope 1 emissions are calculated by means of internal metering, accounting records, supplier invoices, and engineering calculations.

Disclose the amount of fresh water that was consumed in its operations (in thousands of cubic meters) 1,536.140
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 2024, 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.
