TSM Results 

All of Teck’s operations apply TSM, and all Canadian operations publicly report their TSM results. Teck’s Canadian operations include Highland Valley Copper (HVC) and Trail operations in British Columbia as well as four steelmaking coal operations in British Columbia: Elkview, Fording River, Greenhills and Line Creek. 

In 2022, four of Teck’s operations, Trail, Elkview, Fording River, and Greenhills, underwent TSM external verification. PricewaterhouseCoopers provided external verification of all required TSM Protocols for performance indicator results; except the TSM Tailings Management Protocol. Priscu and Associates Consulting Engineers Inc. provided external verification of the TSM Tailings Management Protocol and were specifically chosen for their expertise in tailings management. Internal self-assessments for other operations were performed by Teck head office and business unit/site personnel.  The external verification and internal self-assessment activities assessed Teck’s reported performance indicator results for the year ending December 31, 2022, as measured against the requirements of MAC’s TSM Performance Indicators.  

Teck’s overall results for 2022 were strong, and the company achieved high levels of performance across many of the TSM protocols.  

Teck’s performance in TSM is part of their overall approach to sustainability and responsible resource development. Through their sustainability strategy, Teck has identified the following long-term strategic priorities for its work in sustainability: Climate Change, Water, Tailings, Responsible Production, Biodiversity and Reclamation, Health & Safety, Our People, and Communities & Indigenous Peoples. Within each area, Teck has set short-term and long-term goals and targets to continually enhance sustainability performance and assess progress, which the company reports on in its annual sustainability report.
