Teck contributions to Alaska exceeded $1.1 billion in 2021
VANCOUVER, B.C. — Teck Resourc - es Limited recently released its 2021 Economic Contribution Report today, outlining how Teck generated $1.1 bil- lion in total economic contributions to Alaska where Teck’s Red Dog Opera - tion is located. This including creating or sustaining more than 4,110 jobs and contributed $359 million in taxes and government revenues to governments around the world at direct, indirect, and induced levels. “Our people are proud to contrib- ute to the communities and juris- dictions where we operate, including Alaska, through creation of fami-
ly-supporting jobs, economic activity, and revenue to governments to sup- port essential services like education and healthcare,” said Jonathan Price, CEO. “These economic contributions are directly linked with our work to responsibly provide critical minerals essential to modern society and for the global transition to a low-carbon economy.” Prepared by Deloitte, Teck’s annual Economic Contribution Report details the economic benefits created in the communities and jurisdictions where Teck operates, including payments to suppliers, employee wages and bene-
fits, and payments to governments. It captures not only Teck’s direct eco- nomic impacts, but also the indirect impacts which arise from generating demand for goods and services pro- vided by suppliers and the induced impacts which arise from the spend- ing of salaries and wages earned as a result of Teck operations.
