“Wherever Alamos operates in the world, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest environmental, social and governance standards. Our commitment to acting responsibly and delivering excellence in sustainability allows us to create a lasting legacy that benefits all Alamos stakeholders, including our employees, local communities and host governments,” said John A.

Alamos’ 2020 ESG Report, available at www.alamosgold.com/2020-ESG-Report-Final, highlights significant progress achieved by the Company during the past year including:
- Implemented stringent new health and safety protocols to protect the health and well-being of our employees and contractors during the COVID-19 pandemic, including medical screening and testing of all personnel prior to start of each rotation. Over 13,000 COVID-19 tests were completed on employees, contractors and visitors during the year.

- Reduced greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions across operations by 3% since 2019 and 6% since 2018, and in 2021 all sites are developing Energy Management Plans to identify further opportunities for cost-effective emission reductions.

- Advanced adoption of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) including expanded reporting and completion of a climate risk assessment and scenario analysis that covered every Alamos operation and project.
The 2020 ESG Report is guided by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Metals & Mining Industry Standard and the Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI) for sustainability reporting “Core” requirements. It focuses on economic, environmental, social and corporate governance topics and indicators that are of the greatest interest to Alamos’ stakeholders.
Since 2013, Alamos has published an annual Sustainability Report to provide transparency on its sustainability initiatives and results from its operating mines. Since 2019, the Company has branded this publication as an ESG Report to reflect the depth of its content and the standards it now aligns to.
