Royal Gold, Inc. 2021 ESG Report 47 Operator GHG Emission Intensity As part of our TCFD strategy we have also assembled GHG emission intensity data for our stream and royalty interests, which is a useful metric to assess ongoing performance. GHG emission intensity is measured as the tonnes of Scope 1 and 2 CO 2 (equivalent) emissions per net gold equivalent ounces (GEO) produced. The average emission intensity for our Principal Properties and other stream and royalty interests is shown in the figure below. Using a GHG intensity measurement as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) allows performance that can be tracked over time regardless of changes in the annual production attributable to our stream and royalty interests. GHG intensity performance over the three-year period of 2018 - 2020, and representing approximately 96% of our revenue, shows GHG emissions intensity has remained relatively constant on a net GEO basis over the three-year period.
