Royal Gold, Inc. 2021 ESG Report 60 Diversity Royal Gold recognizes and values the introduction of varied voices and opinions in all aspects of our business. The maintenance of a diverse workforce fosters the type of inclusive work environment envisioned by our People Policy. With respect to our Board, one-third of our independent directors identify as women and one of our independent directors identifies as a minority.

With respect to our employees, as of December 31, 2021, a total of 41% of our employees and 14% of our senior management team self-identify as female.
