We provided direct benefits to the Republic of Indonesia of
$1.6 billion through taxes, royalties, dividends and fees in
2006. Since 1992, these direct benefits have totaled more
than $5 billion.
We are the largest private employer in Papua and one of
the largest in Indonesia. At the end of 2006, PT Freeport
Indonesia directly employed nearly 9,000 workers. Of these,
approximately 2,400 — 27 percent — were Papuans. Another
10,700 workers were employed by contractors serving PT
Freeport Indonesia. A total of approximately 19,700 workers
were employed at our operations at the end of 2006.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
We are committed through our Social, Employment and Human
Rights Policy to building and maintaining positive relationships
with our Papuan neighbors through dialogue and by supporting
mutually structured programs to provide opportunities
for social, educational and economic development and
comprehensive, modern medical care and public health
programs and facilities. Our policy commits us to conducting
our operations in a manner consistent with the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. This policy is available on our
web site (www.fcx.com).
Since 1996, PT Freeport Indonesia and our joint venture
partner, Rio Tinto plc, have committed a portion of our mining
revenues to benefit the local community through the Freeport
Partnership Fund for Community Development, which is
managed by a board of local community leaders. Contributions,
Our underlying values demand
that we work in a way that
meets the needs of the
present without compromising
the ability of future
generations to meet their
own needs — the essence of
sustainable development.
