Sustainability at Teck

“In 2010, we will develop our sustainability

leadership initiative across the company, to maintain

and enhance our social license to operate.”

Don Lindsay – 2010 Annual Report

When deciding whether to do something, Dr. Keevil always asks:

“Does this make us a better company?”

Maybe we can add a second question to this frame of thinking:

“Does this make the world a better place?”

Decisions should incorporate these questions going forward.

Our Approach to Sustainability

• Sustainability Working Group established in 2010

• Key focus areas:• Community• Water• Energy• Ecosystems & biodiversity• Materials stewardship• Our people

• Set long term goals and visions of success

Communities

• Communities are the foundation of our work in Sustainability• Our Vision: “We collaborate with communities so they genuinely benefit in a

self-defined and sustainable manner from our activities and products. Communities consider themselves better off as a result of their interactions with us and offer broad support for our efforts.”

• Corporate goal of donating 1% of EBIT based on a five year rolling average - $25 million donated in 2011
