*For comparability purposes and to more accurately represent our water stewardship progress, we recalculated the trailing year data shown within the water graphics to reflect our 2024 portfolio. This includes full-year 2024 data for assets acquired in the November 2023 Newcrest transaction that remained owned and operated by Newmont through the end of 2024. Note that the trailing year values presented here differ from those reported in our 2024 Performance Data water stewardship tables due to differences in portfolios.
Newmont is committed to being an early adopter of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). This framework provides guidelines for disclosing nature-related risks and opportunities and requires the establishment of metrics and targets for nature.
We refreshed our Path to Zero Cyanide Spills program, enhancing engagement with Cyanide Points of Contact at each site. In 2024, we experienced 30 cyanide-related spills, with a 33% decrease from 2023 in spills containing greater than 50 mg/L WAD CN.
