Governance
OR’s Board and its Committees exercise oversight over climate change risks and opportunities through multiple avenues. As discussed in more detail in the Corporate Governance section, OR Royalties’ Board bears ultimate responsibility over the Company’s climate-related matters. The Audit and Risk Committee and the Governance, Nomination and Sustainability Committee of the Board both oversee climate-related factors and/or risks. Material ESG risks are identified by our Enterprise Risk Assessment and are escalated to the Board via the Audit and Risk Committee. The Executive Team is responsible for the Company’s day-to-day operations, including the management of financial risks, and the ERA. The Governance, Nomination and Sustainability Committee oversees environmental, social and governance matters including climate change risk and reviews our Climate Change Strategy and Policy, practices and disclosure in this area.
In 2025, in response to the potential heightened risks that climate change may pose to our business, our mining partners, and the evolving landscape of climate-related regulations and global frameworks, OR Royalties introduced a Climate Change Policy. This Policy outlines our commitment to responsible investment by integrating climate risk assessments, monitoring, and sustainable practices across our business and investments. Although not directly involved in mining operations, OR seeks to collaborate with mining partners to manage climate-related risks and to align with industry best practices and internationally recognized frameworks.
The Executive Team has a shared responsibility for implementing the policies set by the Board and achieving ESG performance objectives. The ESG Management Committee provides further oversight of sustainability topics, including climate change. The Vice President, Sustainability and Communications is responsible for managing sustainability-related issues and initiatives, with support provided by the ESG Management Committee.
