Royal Gold, Inc. 2021 ESG Report 26 Health and Safety The health and safety of our employees is not solely encompassed in workplace safety or travel precautions but includes the whole of our employees’ Royal Gold experience, from work environment to work-life balance. While Royal Gold is office-based many of our employees also travel to remote parts of the world. Our policies require compliance with legal and health and safety requirements in all locations including compliance with the health and safety procedures instituted by our Operators while visiting a site. We conduct regular safety training for our offices, including responses to such threats as fire, extreme weather and office intrusions, and have engaged outside resources to provide medical and emergency response and evacuation assistance for our employees when traveling overseas. COVID-19 Response We recognize the professional and personal challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has created for our workforce. We have taken care to adequately respond to this new reality and have put in place initiatives to support our team in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Specific examples of initiatives we have undertaken since the pandemic was declared in March 2020 include: • Closing offices temporarily while allowing employees to work remotely; • Allowing for voluntary and staggered office attendance; • Providing personal protective equipment and disinfectant cleaning kits; • Providing flexible hours to accommodate employee commuting during non-peak periods; • Restricting business travel and in-person conference attendance; • Providing additional protocols for the cleaning and sanitization of offices; and • Restricting outside office visitors. All these initiatives were developed and carried out in compliance with local rules and regulations for each office location. Royal Gold employees
