RCM’s Active and Busy ESG Agenda

The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) produces coins for Canada, exports over 1 billion coins each year and provides technical support and materials to other mints. Sustainability (in its broadest sense) is a key part of the Mint’s operations and philosophy (as noted in the interview with Marie Lemay, CEO of RCM), and it has recently issued its latest Environment Social and Governance (ESG) report.

RCM’s Winnipeg facility produces domestic and foreign coins. In 2021 it achieved accreditation to the ISO 14001 environmental management standard. It has undertaken a series of small and large scale projects in its pursuit of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.

Small scale projects include installing electric car chargers, having a bee garden and putting in recycling bins for personal protective equipment.
