68 Royal Gold, Inc. 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance Report About Royal Gold Governance ESG Stewardship Our People Our Operators and Communities Appendices Community contributions Our approach Supporting our Operators’ communities and those closer to home is an important component of Royal Gold’s ESG effort. Helping our Operators and local communities achieve their SDGs is a way we can drive meaningful impact on ESG topics and remain neutral as a passive investor with respect to influencing operations. By responding to the needs of communities (through leading charitable organizations where we live and work) we build social resiliency and an opportunity for our people to give back to causes that matter to them. In 2022, Royal Gold contributed a total of $1.2 million to support organizations that serve critical needs in the communities near our corporate offices, and to support our Operators’ initiatives. Royal Gold has contributed over $4.5 million to support organizations in our office and mining operator communities since inception. A complete list of NGOs and charities we support can be found on our website . “ What this past year has taught us more than ever is that there’s such a need for people to connect to something bigger than themselves. For a company like Royal Gold, it’s not just the CEO but the employees who are seeking purpose and ways to have an impact. The Royal Gold team volunteered in the warehouse and helped us sort and prepare medical supplies for upcoming shipments to developing countries. We are so grateful for our partnership with Royal Gold, who so generously aids in our mission of delivering health and hope to the world. ” Sharon Wagner, Director, Corporate Philanthropy, Project C.U.R.E.
