Health, Safety and Well-Being
OUR APPROACH
Safety is a core company value and is foundational to our sustainability approach. Our highest priority is the health, safety and well-being of our employees, contractors, suppliers and the communities where we operate. We believe that health and safety considerations are integral to, and fundamental for, our operational success and efficiency and ultimately to our ability to deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.
Safety is a core company value and is a foundation of doing business. Our highest priority is the health, safety and well-being of our workforce, suppliers and the communities where we operate. We believe that health and safety considerations are integral to, and fundamental for, all other functions in our organization, and we understand the health and safety of our workforce is critical to our operational efficiency and long-term success. Our Safety and Health Policy outlines our commitments, processes and management systems to meet our health and safety objectives.
Our objective is to achieve zero workplace fatalities and to decrease injuries and occupational illnesses. As part of our commitment to providing a healthy and safe workplace, we strive to provide the training, tools and resources needed so our workforce can identify risks and consistently apply effective controls. Our Occupational Health and Safety Management System provides the framework for managing risks and compliance obligations and is certified company-wide in accordance with the ISO 45001 Health and Safety Management System, which requires third-party site-level verification of requirements, with an overall goal of preventing fatalities and reducing safety incidents.

Workforce
OUR APPROACH
Freeport-McMoRan believes our people are the foundation of our success and a competitive advantage. Our ability to successfully recruit, retain, develop and advance talented employees is paramount. We focus on attracting and retaining talented people by offering quality employment with fair and equitable compensation and benefits, as well as with opportunities for professional development and advancement. We prioritize a highly engaged, agile workforce and, in addition to safety, we aim to support the overall health and well-being of our workforce by providing access to health and wellness resources, and offering opportunities for flexible work schedules, where practicable, among other efforts.
We operate in regions of varying ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds, where we often are the largest employer in our host communities. As such, we are committed to fostering a company culture that is not only safety-focused, respectful, and inclusive, but also that is representative of the communities where we operate.

Communities & Indigenous Peoples
OUR APPROACH
Freeport-McMoRan strives to work in partnership with our host communities and Indigenous Peoples to earn and maintain their trust and deliver shared value. We not only seek to avoid, minimize and mitigate adverse impacts from our operations, but we also aim to provide long-lasting benefits to our neighbors. We work in partnership with our host communities — which in many cases includes Indigenous Peoples — to help increase resilience and well-being at the individual and community levels to help people thrive over the life of our mines and beyond.
OUR APPROACH WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
Indigenous Peoples often reside in areas that are home to rich biodiversity and to many of the most diverse peoples, languages and cultures. We acknowledge and respect the social, economic and cultural rights of the Indigenous Peoples who have historically occupied areas within or near our operations or have ancestral connections to these lands, and we also understand that Indigenous Peoples often have special connections to land, water and other natural resources that can be tied to their physical, spiritual, cultural and economic well-being. We are steadfast in our commitment to acknowledge, respect and engage collaboratively with Indigenous Peoples. We strive to understand the values and cultural needs of each group of Indigenous Peoples, develop and maintain ongoing relationships, support effective, ongoing engagement and create opportunities for social benefit, shared value creation and long-term resilience. We do this by consistently applying our Building Trust approach, which aims to foster trust through ongoing engagement, transparency and creating shared value.

Economic Contributions
OUR APPROACH
As an important part of our commitment to responsible production, Freeport-McMoRan aims to be a good corporate citizen in the host communities and countries in which we operate. We contribute to the wealth and prosperity of the countries, regions, and communities by generating economic value that includes tax and royalty payments, which support essential government functions such as education and infrastructure, local hiring and procurement that supports many types of jobs in a community or region, and other direct and indirect community investments. However, it is also important to recognize that mining is an inherently cyclical business with production levels and profits fluctuating over the life of the mine, which can impact our economic and social investments and other sustainability programs.
