Wheaton Precious
Metals Publishes Inaugural Climate Change Report
VANCOUVER, BC, June
15, 2023 /CNW/ - Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. ("Wheaton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the publication
of its inaugural 2022 Climate Change Report (the "report"). The report was prepared in alignment with the recommendations of
the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") and outlines how Wheaton is addressing climate change risks
and opportunities and the resiliency of its portfolio to climate impacts.
"Mining plays
a vital role in facilitating the energy transition and, as a provider of capital to the industry, we have a unique opportunity to influence
and encourage our partners to operate in a sustainable manner, including setting targets to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions,"
said Randy Smallwood, Wheaton's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, our high-quality portfolio of assets is diversified
in terms of jurisdiction and commodity, allowing Wheaton to effectively manage our exposure to climate-related risks. Through our business
model, we are well positioned to help fund the supply of critical metals needed for the growing demand for low-carbon technology and
infrastructure."
Report Highlights
Highlights from the
2022 Climate Report include:
- Details on climate-related governance,
strategy, risk management, and metrics and performance.
- Expanded information on the pathway
to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 20501 and progress to date on this topic, with a focus on Scope 3 financed emissions.
- Identification of climate risks
and opportunities and management strategies, including incorporation of climate risks and opportunities in the due diligence process
and ongoing monitoring mechanisms.
- Commitment to support our mining
partners' decarbonization and climate solutions efforts.
- 68% of 2021 Scope 3 financed emissions
covered by emissions reductions targets aligned to 2°C or less.
Wheaton's Climate Report
complements our recently published 2022 Sustainability Report and reinforces our commitment to provide stakeholders with transparent
and detailed reporting of our environmental, social and governance ("ESG") performance and practices.2

limitation) risks related to climate change, environmental, social and governance matters, the ability to achieve ESG commitments and
goals at both Wheaton and the Mining Operations and other risks discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Business
– Risk Factors" in Wheaton's Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and Wheaton's Form 40-F for the year

in law or jurisprudence for years subsequent to 2010) and possible domestic audits for taxation years subsequent to 2016 and international
