51、POWERED PEOPLE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIESPeople are at the core of our business.We are committed to supporting the health,safety and well-being of our people,including our workforce,host communities and Indigenous neighbors.We seek to do this in a manner that increases resiliency and empowers people
52、to thrive over the long term.THRIVING ENVIRONMENTSMining impacts the natural environment.We strive to conduct our operations with minimal adverse impacts on the environment,and we support the protection of ecosystems through responsible environmental stewardship.This commitment is embedded in our ma
53、nagement systems and our approach to continuous improvement.9Stakeholder Engagement and Materiality Our approach to stakeholder engagement is characterized by transparency,collaboration and meaningful dialogue,with the primary goal of fostering mutual understanding,trust and cooperation.We recognize
54、 the interests and concerns of our various stakeholders can change over time,which underscores the need for proactive and ongoing engagement to learn about their changing needs and perspectives.We believe effective stakeholder engagement can help reduce our sustainability-related risks by identifyin
55、g the risks early and enabling us to work in partnership with stakeholders to address them,ultimately supporting our endeavors to make positive contributions to society.For these reasons,we seek to maintain stakeholder engagement programs at both the corporate and site levels throughout the year.We
56、have a broad range of stakeholders with whom we engage,including shareholders,employees,host communities and Indigenous Peoples,customers and suppliers,industry associations,regulators and policymakers,local and national host governments,local community associations and nongovernmental organizations
57、(NGOs).Many individuals and teams across FCX are responsible for engaging with different stakeholder groups.Collectively,our stakeholder engagements inform managements decision making and the boards oversight,particularly in relation to our policies,practices,programs and initiatives.We believe our
58、dialogue with stakeholders strengthens FCX and helps us understand varying perspectives while simultaneously providing an opportunity to share information about our strategy,practices and performance.These engagements can range from informal and formal direct dialogue to anonymized,independent inter
59、views by our sustainability assurance provider or other independent due diligence consultants.For example,each Copper Mark and Molybdenum Mark assurance visit includes context-specific,culturally sensitive direct engagement with stakeholders to provide both the assurer and site management with a cle
60、ar view of how stakeholders perceive our practices.ENGAGING WITH INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS We are a member of various industry and business associations that provide a platform for advancing sustainability.Industry and business associations can be important vehicles for furthering industry
61、contributions at the global,national,regional and local levels.We recognize the importance of collaboration with other thought leaders to help drive change and progress,which is why we offer expertise to,and partner with,various external organizations and industry associations committed to our indus
62、try and to advancing sustainability.This work enables us to understand the views of a variety of stakeholders while also forming industry agreements and positions on our responsibilities across sustainability areas and throughout our value chains.Together with our internal commitments,these membersh

77、AL ENGAGEMENT We are committed to maintaining the highest levels of ethical and legal conduct and transparency regarding our political activity and spending practices.This commitment includes seeking to comply with applicable laws and regulations.We exercise our right and responsibility to participa
78、te in public policy matters by staying informed on public matters important to our business and interacting,where appropriate,with elected and appointed government officials,regulators and their staff.Our membership in trade associations and other organizations provides information and assistance wi
79、th policy issues of concern to us.When we join a trade association,we do so because we believe the association generally represents FCXs best interests,although importantly,our membership does not mean we support or agree with an associations position on every issue.Outside the U.S.,we have signific
80、ant operations in Chile,Indonesia,Peru and Europe.We work cooperatively with local,regional and national governments,and with supranational bodies,such as the European Union(EU),as issues arise in these jurisdictions that may affect our business.With agreement from senior management,we may engage in
81、 dialogue with government officials on issues that affect our business goals and objectives,including the jobs that our businesses add to and support in local economies.Internationally,we engage in non-partisan political activity and spending as permitted by applicable laws and regulations,including
82、 the U.S.Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA)and similar anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws of the other jurisdictions in which we operate,on which employees are trained and empowered to report potential violations.FCXs political activity and spending practices are overseen and approved by senior
83、management.In addition,the boards CRC annually reviews our political activity and spending practices.Our political spending is also subject to legal review.For more information,refer to our Political Activity and Spending Practices webpage,which sets forth our expectations regarding this topic.These
84、 expectations apply to FCX and its affiliated political action committees(PACs).We do not make corporate contributions to individual political candidate committees.In Colorado and New Mexico,we may make corporate contributions to certain independent expenditure committees,which do not contribute to
85、candidate committees but can indirectly support or oppose candidates by funding campaign expenditures not controlled by or coordinated with any candidate.Separately,we sponsor a federal PAC as well as PACs in the states in which we operate.We believe all FCX-affiliated PACs are fully compliant with
86、applicable laws and regulations,and their activities are bipartisan.Political spending by these PACs is solely funded by the voluntary individual contributions of eligible employees.Information on our political contributions is publicly available on the Corporate Governance section of our website.Sa

88、ls Zicklin Center for Governance and Business Ethics.2024 ANNUAL REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY12SUSTAINABILITY MATERIALITY ASSESSMENTIn 2024,we conducted an externally led sustainability materiality assessment to incorporate impact materiality,as described by the Global Reporting Initiative(GRI)Standards
89、 and in reference to the topics included in GRI 14:Mining Sector Standards(published in 2024).This assessment helped us to prioritize the sustainability-related actual and potential,negative and positive external impacts of our business.A range of inputs were taken into consideration,including FCXs
90、enterprise risk management program and human rights saliency assessment,site-level sustainability risk registers,topics raised through shareholder and customer engagements,and industry standards and guidance.The understanding of impact materiality included an analysis of relevant topics by internal
91、subject matter experts;a direct survey completed by certain stakeholders,including customers and NGOs;and mapping of external evidence to validate the findings.In addition to the focus on external impact,we also considered the business context for each sustainability topic to evaluate the impact the
92、 topics could have on FCXs performance.Along with the previously mentioned inputs,this included interviews with the Sustainability Leadership Team(SLT)and a survey of FCXs sustainability workforce.The results were reviewed and approved by our SLT.By considering both external impact and internal cont
93、ext,we believe that we have identified the most relevant sustainability-related topics for our business and stakeholders.OBSERVATIONS AND OUTCOMESFollowing this assessment,our three strategy pillars(Robust Governance,Empowered People and Resilient Communities,and Thriving Environments)and our core s
94、trategic focus areas,remain unchanged from prior years,demonstrating the long-term nature of our sustainability strategy.In addition to the topics listed in the materiality matrix,the assessment identified several cross-cutting themes,including:(1)Governance,Compliance and Ethics,(2)Risk Management,
95、(3)Nature,and(4)Human Rights.Note:As used in this report,the term“materiality”is based on a different definition of materiality than used in U.S.federal securities laws and regulations or the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC).Please refer to Cautionary Statement

118、ALS STANDARDSThroughout 2024,the Copper Mark,Mining Association of Canada,ICMM and World Gold Council continued work to consolidate their individual voluntary responsible mining and metals standards into a single global responsible mining standard with a multi-stakeholder oversight system.This colla
119、boration aims to address feedback from investors,civil society,customers,policy makers and mining companies seeking a single,streamlined mining standard that is transparent,robust and encourages wider industry participation.FCX is involved in the consolidated standard development process as a member
120、 of the Industry Advisory Group and as a member of the Copper Mark Advisory Council.The new standard is anticipated to be available by 2027 and to replace the ICMM Mining Principles framework and performance expectations,becoming the new foundation for achieving the Copper Mark.Our Strategy in Actio

128、n enables increased transparency as Morencis copper cathode will now be able to retain its Copper Mark status from the mine through to OEMs,depending on uptake of the Copper Mark by downstream members of the value chain.Uptake continues to grow,with several semi-fabricators joining the Copper Mark a
129、s partners,participants and recipients in 2023 and 2024.ICMM PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS ICMM is an organization dedicated to a safe,fair and sustainable mining and metals industry.ICMM member companies,including FCX,are required to comply with its 39 performance expectations and its 10 Mining Principl
130、es for sustainable development.These expectations,along with topic-specific position statements and assurance and validation requirements,define ICMMs membership commitments.The 39 performance expectations must be validated by a third-party assurance provider at the site level with annual activities
131、 published,including how expectations will be met.2024 ANNUAL REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY16RISK MANAGEMENT We implement several processes to identify and assess sustainability-related risks,including our sustainability risk register,our enterprise risk management(ERM)program and our global climate scen
132、ario analyses.SUSTAINABILITY RISK REGISTER We translate our responsible production commitments to everyday work through the use of our sustainability risk register,which identifies,prioritizes,manages and tracks sustainability risks and actions at the corporate and site levels.Defined in a global st
133、andard operating procedure,the process uses a risk assessment matrix to prioritize risks by both their likelihood and consequence,based on customized impact definitions by functional area to drive action.All our sites review their operational risk profiles at least annually and prepare detailed acti
134、on plans for risks rated as actionable.Sites use the sustainability risk register to identify risks and opportunities in relation to their operation and stakeholders.Additionally,sustainability-related risks identified outside the sustainability risk register process are integrated into the register
135、s.The sustainability risk register prioritizes risks that could have significant negative consequences to our business,communities and/or other stakeholders in areas such as health and safety,human rights,environmental management,community development and economic impact.It also enables sites to ide
136、ntify and prioritize opportunities that could have positive consequences.The sustainability risk register and detailed action plans are the foundation of our internal and external assurance processes at both the corporate level and at operating sites.The risks included in the sustainability risk reg
137、ister are mapped to our external commitments,including ICMMs performance expectations and the Copper Marks requirements.Our sustainability risk register assists our teams to identify and prioritize the most significant risks to our business and our stakeholders.We work cross-functionally to implemen
138、t our various commitments,and our sustainability risk register enables site-level management teams to focus on priorities while promoting globally consistent implementation across our operations.In 2024,we continued to better integrate the views of rights-holders into our risk processes.EMBEDDING RE
139、SPONSIBLE PRODUCTION IN GROWTH PROJECTS We employ a variety of baselining and risk management tools to identify and evaluate the potential sustainability-related impacts of our operations.Together,these tools help us characterize the current social,economic and environmental conditions and provide a
140、 baseline against which we can measure our performance over time.We perform Environmental and Social Impact Assessments,which identify potentially affected stakeholders and potential impacts from the outset of new projects.We integrate human rights impacts into these assessments to be better informe
141、d about impacts to people from growth projects.As part of the internal risk review process,the Project Development Sustainability Review considers sustainability issues during the evaluation,and implementation of,potential mine expansion and development projects.The Project Development Sustainabilit
142、y Review process enables us to identify,prioritize and proactively manage potential risks before a project begins and throughout its development.The process complements our sustainability risk register process and serves as a key input to the sustainability risk register once a project is operationa
143、l,enhancing the integration of sustainability into decision making across FCX.Key focus areas identified at different project stages have included:access to water,energy and materials,potential impacts to hydrology,air quality,biodiversity,human rights,community receptivity,economic impacts,and land
144、 acquisition and resettlement.The process also supports preparation for future closure of operations.17ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENTOur ERM program is designed to provide cross-functional executive insight across our business to identify and monitor risks,opportunities and emerging trends that can impa
145、ct our strategic business objectives.Sustainability-related risks embedded within FCXs ERM program include health and safety performance,human capital management,community engagement and climate change,as well as water and tailings stewardship.Human rights risks and impacts are considered when evalu
146、ating the stakeholder-related consequences of our portfolio of enterprise risks.Our ERM program provides the board with information about FCXs enterprise risk profile and allows the board to assess and monitor the risks over the short-,medium-and long-term,both within and outside our operational bou
147、ndaries.Our ERM management committee is comprised of senior leaders with responsibility across operations and core business functions,and with a breadth of knowledge,influence and experience covering the risks FCX faces.An annual report on our enterprise risks,including cybersecurity risks,is presen
148、ted to the audit committee and/or the full board.The ERM management committee is responsible for providing input and oversight on our ERM program,which seeks to link our global operations and business functions to(1)identify enterprise risks and opportunities,(2)analyze and prioritize risks,(3)revie
149、w risk control environments and determine additional management actions where warranted,and(4)monitor and report progress.Management and FCXs internal audit firm coordinate to align assurance activities with priority enterprise risk topics.CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT Our cybersecurity risk managem
150、ent and strategy processes are led by our Chief Information Officer(CIO)and our Chief Information Security Officer(CISO),both of whom report to our Chief Innovation Officer.Our CIO is responsible for the strategy,deployment,operational effectiveness and risk management of our technology systems and
151、operations.Our CISO is responsible for protecting our global technology systems from cybersecurity incidents,which includes overseeing the deployment of cybersecurity controls,managing a team of cybersecurity professionals and reporting on cybersecurity matters to management and the audit committee
152、of our board.While management is responsible for the day-to-day management of cybersecurity risks,our board and its audit committee have ongoing oversight roles.Our cyber risk management program is designed to assess,identify,manage,mitigate and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents and is
153、integrated into our overall ERM program.We regularly evaluate and assess the threat landscape and our security controls,including through audits and assessments,regular network and endpoint monitoring,vulnerability testing,penetration testing and tabletop exercises that include senior management.The

159、ices to inform robust decision making.Strong governance is essential to integrating sustainability broadly across a company by instituting practices that foster engagement and accountability at the highest levels.OUR APPROACH Sustainability is embedded in FCXs values and business strategy.Our commit
160、ment to sustainability begins at the highest levels of the company,with our CEO and with active oversight from our board.Under their leadership,FCX has designed and implemented rigorous policies and processes that drive broad engagement with,and strong accountability from,company leadership on our s
161、ustainability-related commitments.These policies and processes support our efforts to embed sustainability into company practices and everyday decision making,with day-to-day management by executive leadership and site-level management teams.Good governance requires focused and consistent leadership
162、 to ensure FCXs values and sustainability strategy are integrated into everyday operations and business decisions.Given the breadth and complexity of sustainability matters,our governance structure seeks to leverage our internal regulatory and technical expertise to identify sustainability-related r
163、isks and opportunities through the effective management and oversight of an interdisciplinary team.BOARD OF DIRECTORSThe board oversees and guides FCXs business strategy and monitors the management of risks that impact FCX,including sustainability-related risks.In its risk oversight role,the board r
164、eviews,evaluates and discusses with appropriate members of management whether the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate in identifying,assessing,managing and mitigating material risks facing FCX,including financial,international,operational,social and environm
165、ental risks.Governance and oversight of sustainability-related matters ultimately reside with the board,with certain areas of the boards oversight delegated to its four standing committees:audit,compensation,corporate responsibility and governance.Each committee is comprised entirely of independent
166、directors and regularly reports to the full board.The charters of these committees outline their respective roles and responsibilities within FCXs governance framework.Together with the Corporate Governance Guidelines,they establish FCXs governance framework,reflecting the boards commitment to monit

186、 positive impact.Codes of conduct and associated policies help ensure that a workforce both understands behavioral expectations and has the tools and resources necessary to comply.Consistent execution of these expectations can help enhance a companys reputation and build trust among employees,suppli
187、ers,customers,regulators and the wider community.OUR APPROACHIntegrating responsible business practices across our global operations requires comprehensive and disciplined efforts.FCX is guided by its Principles of Business Conduct(PBC),the cornerstone of our commitment to ethical business practices
188、.It defines the expected behavior of all our employees and the board and sets forth the global principles that our workforce must follow in all activities from complying with laws,to avoiding conflicts of interest,to treating colleagues and stakeholders with dignity and respect.The PBC highlights ou
189、r core values Safety,Respect,Integrity,Excellence and Commitment and provides guidance for the application of these values to our business.Our PBC and Corporate Governance Guidelines,along with the charters of our board committees,provide the framework for the governance of FCX and reflect our commi
190、tment to monitor the effectiveness of policy and decision making at both the board and management levels.We conduct comprehensive annual training on our PBC,including certification by management-level employees and induction training for all new employees.PBC training is assigned to active and appli
191、cable employees.In 2024,99%of assigned employees completed comprehensive annual training on our PBC.This process consists of in-person or computer-based training,requiring employees to certify both their understanding of,and compliance with,the PBC and to report any known or suspected instances of n
192、on-compliance.The training covers health and safety concepts,addressing harassment and discrimination,dealing with inappropriate behavior,preventing conflicts of interest and retaliation from co-workers,and reminding employees how to raise concerns via the Compliance Line.Board members sign an annua
193、l statement acknowledging their understanding of the expectations contained in our PBC.Managers and supervisors also are responsible for ensuring their direct reports understand these principles,and business partners,including suppliers and contractors,are expected to have read and comply with our B
194、usiness Partner Code of Conduct and associated policies and procedures,which are incorporated into our contracts.Our internal audit firm and external legal counsel perform annual company-wide compliance program and risk assessments,which inform the next years assessment strategies.Business controls
195、developed based on periodic fraud risk assessments are tested and reviewed regularly at our corporate offices as well as at our Grasberg,Cerro Verde,El Abra and Atlantic Copper operations.ANTI-CORRUPTION FCX aims to work exclusively with business partners who uphold the highest standards of honesty,
196、ethics and professionalism in the conduct of their businesses.We acknowledge that any violation of the FCPA or other anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in any jurisdiction where we do business could lead to substantial criminal or civil fines and penalties,litigation,or loss of operating licenses
197、 or permits,as well as significant reputational damage.FCX has zero tolerance for corruption of any kind.This standard applies not only to our employees but also to our business partners.We neither seek nor obtain any business advantage through bribery,improper payments,kickbacks or any other illega
198、l means.No employee or business partner may offer,pay,solicit or accept bribes in any form,including facilitation payments.By integrating ethical standards into every aspect of our operations,we pave the way for a more sustainable and equitable future.23FCXs compliance program is designed to identif
199、y potential compliance violations before they occur and covers regulatory compliance in areas such as anti-corruption,sanctions and other international trade controls,conflicts of interest,discrimination and sexual harassment,forced labor and other subjects addressed in our PBC.We are currently inve
200、stigating whether activities of PT Smelting may have violated the FCPA or other laws,and we have voluntarily notified U.S.authorities of this investigation.PT Smelting is an Indonesian joint venture between PTFI and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation.Our comprehensive anti-corruption infrastructure is
201、 designed to detect,mitigate and remediate violations of legal and regulatory requirements.Our Anti-Corruption Policy and internal guidelines require compliance with the FCPA and other applicable laws of the countries and jurisdictions where we do business.In addition to our mandatory annual PBC tra
202、ining,we provide annual anti-corruption training for specific groups of employees,based on their role and potential exposure to corruption risk.In 2024,99%of employees selected for additional anti-corruption training completed the online course.Given the potential legal and reputational liability th
203、at could result from the actions of our business partners and contractors under the FCPA and other laws,FCX operates an online due diligence platform,the Freeport Compliance eXchange(FCeX).FCeX is a survey-based software platform designed to assess business partner risk in areas such as corruption,i
204、nternational trade,human rights and responsible sourcing,and includes several sustainability-related questions.FCeX enhances our ability to identify,assess and mitigate these compliance risks.The survey is administered to new vendors and,as of late 2024,customers,as an initial step in our value chai
205、n due diligence,and existing business partners are reevaluated periodically.FCX decides whether to enter into or continue contractual relationships based in part on responses to the survey.Learn more in the Responsible Value Chains section.COMPLIANCE LINE AND WORKFORCE GRIEVANCE MECHANISMSOur Compli
206、ance Line,along with our other reporting mechanisms,provides guidance and assistance to our workforce on any questions or concerns related to our PBC,policies or procedures.To encourage reporting of potential business conduct violations,our Compliance Line allows for anonymous reporting and is compl
207、iant with applicable international data privacy regimes.During annual mandatory employee training on our PBC,we remind employees how to raise complaints and concerns via the Compliance Line and reiterate that FCX prohibits retaliation by co-workers against employees who raise any complaints and conc
208、erns.Our business partners also have access to our Compliance Line,as detailed in our Business Partner Code of Conduct.For information on community grievance mechanisms please refer to the Communities and Indigenous Peoples section.We acknowledge Compliance Line reports by sending a confirmation to
209、the reporting party,and,if substantiated after investigation,appropriate disciplinary action is taken,up to and including termination of employment.Our goal is to respond to grievance reports promptly and impartially,aiming to close cases within 30 days of receipt.However,the time required for a tho
210、rough investigation depends on the context and location of each case.In 2024,we received 377 Compliance Line reports,the majority of which were human resources-related.About 11%of reports received were fully or partially substantiated.For workplace-related grievances,our workforce can report informa
211、tion to the compliance department via the phone,email or web portal.Reports are documented,reviewed and assigned for investigation as appropriate.Our global human rights team is engaged for human rights-related complaints.In addition to reporting through the Compliance Line,we encourage our workforc
212、e to engage directly with human resources or compliance team members at the site level to address topics best understood by those with local knowledge.For more information on reporting workforce grievances and our investigation process,please see the Labor Relations section,FCXs grievance reporting

214、law.Mining activities have the potential to impact the way people enjoy these rights,whether they are employees,contractors,suppliers,community members,human rights defenders or members of other groups.Businesses have a responsibility to respect human rights,avoid infringing on the human rights of o
215、thers and address any adverse human rights impacts with which they are involved.OUR APPROACH FCX believes respect for human rights is a business imperative.We are dedicated to the recognition and respect of human rights wherever we do business.Our core values of safety,respect,integrity,excellence a
216、nd commitment underpin this imperative.We respect the rights of all individuals,including employees,contractors,business partners,host communities,Indigenous Peoples and others who may be impacted by our business activities.We strive for continuous improvement and expect everyone in the organization
217、 to play a role in upholding this commitment and expect the same from our business partners.Our Human Rights Policy,which was amended in 2024,outlines our commitment to implementing the UNGPs,the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD)Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and
218、 the VPs.It reaffirms our commitment to respect internationally recognized human rights as set out in the International Bill of Human Rights,the International Labour Organizations Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.Addi
219、tionally,our PBC and other core policies support the application of our Human Rights Policy.Based on our PBC,our Business Partner Code of Conduct outlines the expectations for our business partners,including suppliers,contractors,customers and recipients of charitable giving.These expectations cover
220、 areas such as safety,human rights,anti-corruption,community and environment.We mandate human rights standards through our contracts with business partners.We also are committed to complying with the UK Modern Slavery Act as demonstrated by our annual statement outlining our efforts to minimize the
221、risk of modern slavery throughout our business and supply chain.HUMAN RIGHTS SALIENCY ASSESSMENTWe completed an update to our corporate-level human rights saliency assessment,which provided a current overview of the global human rights risk profile for FCX.The assessment sought to identify and prior
222、itize human rights risks based on the severity(scope,scale,remediability)and likelihood of risks.The saliency assessment evaluated our site-level HRIA results,including grievance trends and risk registers,as well as benchmarking of peer companies.The following global salient human rights risks were
223、identified:Community Well-being and Standards of Living Discrimination and Harassment Healthy Environment and Water Indigenous Peoples Rights Labor and Working Conditions Modern Slavery Occupational Health and Safety SecurityIn 2024,the outputs of the assessment informed updates to our Human Rights
224、Policy and workplan as well as our materiality assessment.CORPORATE HUMAN RIGHTS BENCHMARKFCX ranked 6th out of 110 Extractives and Apparel companies,4th in the Extractives sector and 2nd among mining companies by the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark in its 2023 assessment.25We aim to promote human
225、rights through proactive engagement with governments and communities and by educating stakeholders,including training our employees and contractors.We also participate in multi-industry dialogues on human rights,including BSRs human rights working group;World 50 groups;ICMM working groups;and the Vo
226、luntary Principles Initiative,to gain insight from peer companies and experts in the field to learn how best practices are evolving.These initiatives,along with local and international-level stakeholder engagement,shape our human rights approach.We also receive support from third-party human rights
227、consulting firms on our UNGPs implementation and HRIAs.The VPs serve as guidelines for our security and human rights programs,including interactions with government police,military personnel and private security contractors.We primarily focus our implementation on Indonesia and Peru,which are higher
228、-risk jurisdictions for security and human rights.We report annually on security matters at and near our operations to the Voluntary Principles Plenary.At the board level,the CRC provides oversight of our human rights program by periodically,receiving reports on relevant human rights strategy update
229、s,HRIA results and actions,and significant incidents.At the management level,the SLT provides oversight of our human rights workplan,with the program directed and managed by our corporate and site-level sustainability teams.Our cross-functional human rights working group is focused on driving our st
230、rategy globally and supporting site-level implementation of the UNGPs and integration of human rights considerations across our business.We do not condone any form of threats,intimidation or violence against those who peacefully promote and defend human rights,and we expect the same from our busines
231、s partners.We value an active and open society supported by the rule of law and believe stakeholders should express their opinions safely without fear of reprisal or persecution.HUMAN RIGHTS TRAINING Regular training is a core component of embedding respect for human rights across our business.Human
232、 rights considerations are reflected in our annual PBC training and employee onboarding,which employees are required to undertake.We developed and launched a new global human rights training module for use across FCX,at both the corporate and operational levels.The training module is available in En
233、glish,with Indonesian and Spanish versions to be completed in 2025.The focal point of the training is on company and employee responsibilities when it comes to the promotion of and respect for human rights,including modern slavery,workplace health and safety,discrimination and harassment,grievance m
234、anagement,and security and human rights,within the context of our operations.Dedicated human rights compliance officers lead trainings in Indonesia and Peru,where both human rights risks and security risks are higher.PTFI and Cerro Verde conduct training on our human rights policy and commitments,in
235、cluding the VPs,for new and current workforce members.Pre-deployment training is also provided to all public security personnel assigned to the sites under memorandums of understanding and support agreements at PTFI and Cerro Verde,respectively.As part of its training,PTFI maintains a Human Rights A
236、mbassador program designed to extend education and awareness of human rights to on-site contractors in Papua and Gresik.Ambassadors are volunteers from contractor companies who are trained by PTFI and then tasked with promoting human rights and conducting human rights training in their respective co
237、mpanies.Notably,ambassadors provided culturally sensitive human rights induction training to more than 58,000 employees,contractors and security personnel during the Indonesia smelter construction phase.PTFIs human rights team has been developing topic-specific in-person training tailored to the ope
238、rational and social-cultural context.These trainings,which are expected to begin in 2025,will focus on a variety of topics,including the topics identified as priority areas of action during the PTFI Grasberg HRIA in addition to modern slavery in the supply chain,worker rights and labor standards and
239、 security and human rights.Additionally,members of PTFIs community relations team participated in the 2024 UN Global Compact Gender Equality training program,a nine-month program designed to support meaningful action toward promoting womens representation,participation and leadership in business.202
240、4 ANNUAL REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY26In addition to its regular training,Cerro Verdes workforce training during 2024 included a leadership-driven anti-harassment training campaign for all employees.Additionally,Cerro Verde staff participated in a two-day training organized by ICMM in Lima,Peru on oper

246、an rights topics are most salient at the site-level so we can manage and integrate these risks into our ongoing operational work.We use our sustainability risk register process to identify risks to people,including human rights risks,at our existing operations.Our Project Development Sustainability
247、Review process for greenfield projects and brownfield expansions includes a risk identification process to address potential and actual impacts on rights-holders.We create action plans for specific site-level operating environments and refine our approach to human rights through ongoing stakeholder
248、engagement,grievance management and the findings from our HRIAs.We continue to work to enhance these processes to better assess the severity and likelihood of risk to people from a human rights perspective.HRIAs,conducted by third-party consultants using methodologies aligned with the UNGPs,are our
249、primary method for conducting human rights due diligence at our active operations.These assessments involve direct input from a broad cross-section of internal and external rights-holders and their representatives,including a sampling of employees,on-site contractors,local suppliers and community me
250、mbers.The process supports continuous improvement of our management systems by testing their effectiveness in identifying and addressing potential,actual and perceived human rights risks and impacts.Findings from the HRIAs also help to inform our approach when pursuing potential expansion opportunit
251、ies and updating corporate and site-level practices.We also are integrating human rights into social baseline studies for our operations as well as the social baseline studies and impact assessments conducted for greenfield projects and brownfield expansions.Our responsible sourcing programs require
252、 human rights due diligence on suppliers of both goods and services,and minerals and metals for further processing.The development of these programs is informed by our HRIA findings.In 2024,we further advanced our approach to assessing supplier human rights and other sustainability-related risks,whi
253、ch we discuss in more detail in the Responsible Value Chains section.HRIA AT CERRO VERDE In 2023 and 2024,we engaged a third-party global sustainability consultant,BSR,to conduct the second HRIA at our Cerro Verde operations in Peru.The first Cerro Verde HRIA was completed in 2017.The HRIA was desig
254、ned to assess progress made in managing human rights risks and impacts as well as to gain an updated understanding of potential human rights risks and impacts at the site.Throughout the process,relevant documents were reviewed,170 internal and external stakeholders were interviewed and a field asses
255、sment was conducted.Overall,the company demonstrated a solid commitment to human rights,with well-established policies and procedures.Where the findings identified actual or potential gaps in human rights-related management systems and processes,actions have been,and continue to be,taken to drive co
256、ntinuous improvement.This may include establishing new measures to further investigate,prevent and/or remedy human rights risks and impacts.In 2025,we intend to leverage our existing engagement mechanisms to communicate key findings and to involve relevant stakeholders in the development of our acti
257、on plans,where appropriate.We expect to disclose a summary of the process,findings and areas prioritized for action once the plans are finalized.HRIA AT INDONESIA SMELTER PTFI,with TwentyFifty and Daemeter serving as consultants,initiated an assessment of the new smelter project in Gresik,Indonesia

261、VANCE MECHANISMS AND REMEDY We maintain grievance mechanisms for employees,community members,members of our supply chain and others to report potential human rights concerns.These mechanisms support our commitment to remedy by helping us address concerns early and remediate impacts directly.We promo
262、te awareness of these mechanisms through a variety of means,including through posters,company webpages,stakeholder engagement and training.We have dedicated human rights compliance officers in Indonesia and Peru who receive,document and follow up on reported human rights incidents,grievances and all
263、egations.To the extent a grievance is material to the business,the grievance is communicated to the CRC.In 2025,as part of the HRIA action plan on stakeholder engagement,PTFI plans to reevaluate Grasbergs community grievance mechanism with input from community stakeholders and its internal grievance
264、 mechanisms with input from workforce members using the UN effectiveness criteria.PTFI is planning a campaign to promote its grievance mechanisms to internal and external stakeholders.While we seek to avoid causing and contributing to adverse impacts on people and communities,we acknowledge they may
265、 occur.We are committed to providing for,and cooperating in,the remediation of adverse impacts related to our business as well as collaborating with value chain stakeholders to address impacts linked to our business relationships,where appropriate.Remedy can take a range of forms,including cessation
266、 of impact or business relationship,apology,restoration of what was lost,cash or in-kind compensation and rehabilitation.Remedy can also involve the identification of lessons learned and steps taken to prevent re-occurrence.Use of our internal and external grievance mechanisms does not preclude acce
267、ss to judicial or other non-judicial grievance mechanisms.In the event of accusations made through a state based,non-judicial grievance mechanism,we are committed to participating in related proceedings constructively,cooperatively and in good faith.To learn more,please refer to the Business Conduct
268、 and Policies section and the Communities and Indigenous Peoples section.El Abra operations,Chile.29ILLEGAL ARTISANAL MINING At PTFIs Grasberg operations in Indonesia,illegal artisanal miners(illegal miners)seek economic opportunity by panning for unrecovered gold from milling operations in the cont
269、rolled riverine tailings system.While mining within PTFIs area of work is illegal under Indonesian law,approximately 6,300 illegal miners(including family members associated with the illegal miners)have established camps at various points within the lowlands and highlands as of December 2024.About 8
270、5%of illegal miners in the lowlands come from outside Central Papua and represent many different Indonesian ethnic groups,while illegal miners in the highlands are 95%Indigenous Papuans.Many of the illegal miners do not have expertise operating in hazardous conditions,including the remote terrain an
271、d varied climatic conditions experienced at Grasberg.Additional safety challenges exist as illegal mining activity occurs alongside ongoing levee maintenance and earthworks,which are needed to responsibly manage the controlled riverine tailings system.PTFI utilizes a cross-functional management plan
272、 to help mitigate the potential social,security,safety,environmental and operational risks associated with illegal mining.The aim of the plan is to reduce the number of illegal miners within the Grasberg operating area and related disruptions to operations.Continued efforts include educational campa
273、igns,monitoring the environment for mercury use,strengthening check points,increasing unmanned aerial systems patrols and focusing on joint patrols with third-party security personnel.Joint patrols,which include representatives from PTFIs workforce,local police and private security personnel,monitor
274、 the area occupied by panners and when issues are identified,such as social,environmental,safety or security issues,the patrols inform the cross-functional team.The cross-functional team reviews drone surveillance filmed by PTFIs aviation group and coordinates with the joint patrols,which play a key
275、 role in socialization of educational campaigns and problem solving within the illegally occupied area.To integrate illegal mining issues into PTFIs planning and decision making,the cross-functional team meets regularly to update leadership.PTFIs community liaison officers,the PTFI security team and
276、 third-party contractors seek to proactively and continuously engage through bi-weekly joint patrols with the illegal mining communities on operational changes in an effort to manage their expectations,encourage them to seek alternative livelihoods,and to minimize risks to the operations and to the
277、illegal miners and their families.They also seek to inform the illegal miners in advance of planned levee maintenance work and equipment movements to minimize safety risks.PTFI cannot address illegal mining on its own.A multi-faceted approach including government involvement,security risk management
278、,stakeholder engagement and socioeconomic development for alternative livelihoods is essential.To that end,PTFIs illegal mining management plan includes regional and national objectives to help build strategic partnerships for a multi-stakeholder illegal mining strategy.For example,in September 2024
279、,a multi-stakeholder forum was facilitated by the local government,in collaboration with PTFI,to discuss challenges associated with illegal mining activity,including risks to women and children.The forum involved representatives from police,military,Indigenous councils and notables,civil society org
280、anizations,churches and PTFI.The forum resulted in the development of an action plan with short-,medium-and long-term goals and initiatives to reduce the number of women and children living in illegal mining camps.Initiatives include education and health programs,and vocational and entrepreneurship
281、training.PTFI has organized regular follow-up meetings with the local government and law enforcement agencies to help ensure that the agreed-upon goals are being put into action.For more information about the controlled riverine tailings system and the dangers associated with illegal mining,please r

283、ining activities.2024 ANNUAL REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY30Responsible Value Chains WHY IT MATTERSHow a company sources goods and services can have a significant impact across environmental and social matters.Globally,human rights and environmental issues in supply chains have been receiving increasing
284、scrutiny from consumers,NGOs,regulators and stakeholders.As a result,users of minerals and metals,such as automotive and electronics OEMs,have taken steps to improve due diligence in their own supply chains,which has led to more attention within the mining industry.This pressure heightens expectatio
285、ns and responsibility for robust due diligence by mineral and metal producers globally.OUR APPROACH FCX is committed to sourcing,producing and distributing metals and minerals responsibly across our entire value chain.This includes working to ensure continuity of supplies necessary for our operation
286、s in a responsible manner.We are committed to identifying and mitigating risk in our supply chains while striving to meet the requirements of global markets and increasing demands from our customers,end users and traders who sell our products.FCX continues to work diligently to advance its supply ch
287、ain management by incorporating sustainability risks into its systems and tools for decision making and supplier management.Our responsible value chains strategy is centered around three key activities:(1)identifying and mitigating risk in our supply chains through our own responsible sourcing effor
288、ts for goods,including minerals and metals,and services,(2)product stewardship to manage the in-use risks of our products and by-products,and (3)working to better understand the full life cycle impacts of our products.RESPONSIBLE SOURCINGThrough our responsible sourcing programs,we seek to embed sus
289、tainable and responsible business practices into the preliminary supplier selection process as well as the duration of our working relationship with a supplier.This is a significant undertaking,as it covered more than$18 billion of spend and more than 20,000 first-tier suppliers in 2024 that provide
290、 a wide variety of goods and services from small catering businesses in remote locations to large multinational corporations that manufacture large equipment or produce mineral and metal feedstock materials.With more than 85%of our suppliers residing in at least one of the seven countries where we h
291、ave operations,we have first-hand knowledge of the risks and complexities where most of our suppliers operate.Approximately 61%of our suppliers have been working with FCX for six or more years,and of those,approximately 78%have conducted business with us for 10 or more years,demonstrating our commit
292、ment to establishing and maintaining mutually beneficial,long-term relationships.Our Business Partner Code of Conduct is at the foundation of our responsible sourcing program for all suppliers globally.The Business Partner Code of Conduct is supported by various other FCX policies,such as our Safety
293、 and Health,Environmental,Human Rights,Anti-Corruption and Social Performance policies.All on-site contractors are expected to abide by applicable FCX policies and site-based procedures that apply to our own employees.The process shown below outlines the overall approach for the program,beginning wi
294、th the Business Partner Code of Conduct and strategy.STRATEGY AND BUSINESS PARTNER CODE OF CONDUCTMONITORINGDUE DILIGENCETRACKING PERFORMANCE AND REPORTINGRISK ASSESSMENTPREVENTION/MITIGATIONRESPONSIBLE SOURCING FRAMEWORKSUPPLIER ENGAGEMENT31SUPPLIER EVALUATION AND MONITORING We continue to improve
295、our systems and processes related to due diligence,risk monitoring and in-depth assessments to allow for quicker access to supplier data and information as well as streamlined risk identification.We use a combination of tools to understand and monitor supplier risk and to encourage compliance with o
296、ur Business Partner Code of Conduct.While all suppliers(goods and services and minerals and metals)undergo the same initial screening process,minerals and metals are then subject to a secondary diligence process specifically designed to meet the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Cha
297、ins of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High-Risk Areas(OECD Guidance),which is covered in more detail in the Responsible Sourcing of Minerals and Metals section.We utilize a risk-based decision-making process to identify higher risk suppliers where closer collaboration may be warranted.We aim to
298、 identify and assess industry and location-based risks,confirm whether they are present in our supply chain and build capacity as necessary.Through the risk prioritization framework,we have focused on five high-risk industries to identify suppliers that require enhanced due diligence and engagement.
299、Through these engagement discussions,84%of the suppliers were determined to have sufficient policies and processes to lower the perceived risk.The other 16%,or 37 suppliers,required additional engagement.Ongoing engagement is in process for these suppliers.FCeX is an online due diligence platform th
300、at allows us to distribute a compliance questionnaire addressing anti-corruption,international trade,human rights,environment,and health and safety risks,among others.This survey-based software platform enhances our ability to communicate relevant FCX policies as well as to screen suppliers internal
301、 policies and key personnel,owners and associated third parties.FCeX also provides data analytics and important metrics that help FCX assess supplier commitments and actions for minerals and metals sourcing.The survey is utilized for new vendors as our first line of due diligence in our responsible
302、sourcing program.Suppliers assessed in FCeX as low risk are reevaluated every three years,while higher risk suppliers are reevaluated annually.Only 1%of the suppliers evaluated in FCeX in 2024 were deemed to be high risk.SAP Ariba Supplier Risk Management and Supplier Lifecycle and Performance(Ariba
303、)tools consolidate data from external sources and help us monitor supplier risk on an ongoing basis.In particular,these tools enhance our compliance and supplier risk assessment across four risk domains:(1)operations,(2)regulatory and legal compliance,(3)environmental and social,and(4)financial.They
304、 provide us with the capability to conduct more in-depth risk-based assessments,when needed.We have integrated relevant country-and industry-level sustainability risk indices from Verisk Maplecroft,a third-party consultant,into the Ariba platform based on our potential supply chain risks.We have als
305、o implemented various alerts,which monitor approximately 600,000 data sources for reputational,compliance,financial,human rights,sustainability and operational risks associated with all of our suppliers.In 2024,the responsible sourcing team identified 14 companies with credible high-risk alerts.Of t
306、hese,one was identified to the relevant site for follow up.In 2024,we completed steps to identify site-level significant suppliers at all of our operating sites.The identified suppliers are critical to the business and/or pose significant sustainability-related risk.Each FCX operating site is respon
307、sible for defining its list of significant suppliers based on its unique operating requirements and potential industry and location-based risks.Significant supplier lists are reviewed annually.In support of this work,our responsible sourcing team conducts a desktop review of each significant supplie
308、r to assess their policies and procedures against FCX expectations,as defined in our Business Partner Code of Conduct.In cases where there are gaps,the site or relevant FCX relationship owner works with suppliers to raise awareness of policy expectations.2024 ANNUAL REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY32LOCAL A
309、ND DIVERSIFIED PROCUREMENT FCX remains committed to supporting our local communities and businesses and recognizes the key role they play in our daily operations.Globally,we seek to train and encourage buyers and contract administrators to provide opportunities to local suppliers when possible and i
310、n alignment with our business needs.Each operating site works with its community development managers,local NGOs and Indigenous partners(where applicable)to identify initiatives to enhance opportunities for local suppliers.Examples of such initiatives include participating in supplier fairs,roundtab
311、les,chamber of commerce meetings and open house events and promoting our economic empowerment and small business training and certification programs(such as DreamBuilder and WEConnect International).We continue to prioritize greater transparency in our local procurement spending,with a focus on expa
312、nding opportunities for local suppliers,where feasible.We have implemented standard operating procedures and/or plans emphasizing local procurement across our operations and include this information in our ongoing training with our site procurement teams.FCX continues to support qualifying small-and
313、 medium-sized local businesses by providing opportunities such as reduced payment terms in support of local procurement.In line with the Mining Local Procurement Reporting Mechanism,we continue to disclose local procurement spending by site and additional information for existing and potential suppl
314、iers on the Suppliers page of our website.In addition to initiatives to support local suppliers,FCX seeks to support small businesses and diverse suppliers.New and existing suppliers are able to self-register in Ariba as a woman-owned,minority-owned or small business.We are active members of WEConne
315、ct International,a global network that connects women-owned businesses to qualified buyers around the world.Buyers and contract administrators are able to cross check the WEConnect database to identify potential women-owned suppliers that may meet their needs.RESPONSIBLE SOURCING OF MINERALS AND MET
316、ALS While all of our suppliers(goods and services and minerals and metals)undergo the same initial screening process,we maintain a specialized process specifically for suppliers of minerals and metals.This process is in alignment with our Responsible Sourcing of Minerals Policy,which commits us to p
317、roducing and sourcing minerals and metals responsibly,including respecting human rights;preventing bribery,fraud and corruption;and implementing the OECD Guidance.Our policy and implementation of the OECD Guidance is also a requirement of the ICMM Mining Principles Framework,Copper Mark,Molybdenum M
318、ark,Responsible Steel and the London Metal Exchange(LME)Policy on Responsible Sourcing of LME-Listed Brands.We have implemented the policy across all of our global operations including:copper smelting,refining and semi-fabrication;molybdenum roasting;and ferromolybdenum production.In preparation for
319、 the start-up of PTFIs new smelter and precious metals refinery,we began reviewing potential suppliers of other minerals and metals that may be in scope for those operations in the future.The boards CRC receives an annual update on our responsible sourcing of minerals program and at the management l
320、evel,the SLT oversees and receives regular updates on our performance.FCX has established a Responsible Sourcing of Minerals and Metals Standard Operating Procedure,which defines the process,roles and responsibilities across our organization.Implementation of this procedure is supported by our Respo

323、ESS Our minerals and metals source review process guides our analysis from risk identification through mitigation.This process has three main steps:(1)risk screening,(2)enhanced due diligence and risk assessment,and(3)committee review.1.Risk Screening There are two parts of our risk screening step,w
324、hich are carried out in parallel:(1)identifying potential risks or“flags”in our mineral and metal supply chains related to conflict-affected and high-risk areas(CAHRAs),as defined by the OECD Guidance and(2)identifying risks associated with our suppliers business activities.If flags are not identifi
325、ed in either the CAHRA or supplier risk screenings,no further action is required.CAHRA RisksWe utilize the TDi Copper Due Diligence Tool(TDi Tool),developed and maintained by the ICA and TDi Sustainability,a global sustainability consultancy,to screen the origin and transit countries of mineral and
326、metal sources and determine the presence of potential CAHRA risks.The TDi Tool rates the likelihood that a country meets the OECD Guidance definition of a CAHRA by assessing it against a set of ten indicators related to corruption,human rights and governance(e.g.,issues associated with the risks des
327、cribed in Annex II of the OECD Guidance).The results are classified into green,orange or red flag countries as defined by thresholds established by TDi Sustainability.FCX reviews these thresholds annually against other tools(e.g.,the Responsible Minerals Initiative Country Risk Map and the CAHRA lis
328、t developed for the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation)and our own experiences in our compliance program,operations and supplier engagements,to determine if the thresholds are adequate or require adjustments.If an orange or red CAHRA flag is raised in this step,enhanced due diligence is required.Minera

330、 REVIEWNO FURTHER ACTIONNOYESYESNONO FURTHER ACTION2024 ANNUAL REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY34Supplier RisksSeparately,the potential for supplier risks is evaluated using FCeX and our assessment of whether the supplier has shareholder interests in,or is trading from or through,a CAHRA.If a supplier red f
331、lag is raised in this step,enhanced due diligence is also required.Confirming the presence of supplier red flags for mineral and metal traders presents a unique challenge.Because of complex legal and operational structures and the trading of myriad material types worldwide,it is often difficult to o
332、btain adequate information from all our trader suppliers to determine whether they have shareholder interests in,or are trading from or through,a CAHRA.Given these limitations,we assume that the potential for such risks is present for all trader suppliers,automatically raising a supplier red flag.To
333、 address these flags,reasonable efforts are made to verify that any material with a known origin being purchased through traders is not comingled with other materials that may have originated from or transited through a CAHRA.These efforts are in addition to our collection and evaluation of company policy,program and responsible sourcing-related information via FCeX.When the supplier is a trader,e
