FREEPORT-McMoRan COPPER & GOLD INC. 2010 Annual Report
17
FCX directly contributes to a sustainable future by providing metals that literally connect
the world’s infrastructure. As a leading international mining company, FCX understands the
importance of producing these metals in a safe and socially responsible manner. As the
earth’s population continues to grow along with the global standard of living, FCX expects
the demand for its metals to similarly increase. This will challenge our ability to reduce or
mitigate certain impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption, as
production expands.
FCX evaluates opportunities to minimize environmental impacts and to be a catalyst for
sustainability in communities where it operates. Guiding FCX in meeting this challenge
is the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM). As a founding member, FCX
endorses the ICMM’s Sustainable Development Framework, including its 10 Sustainable
Development Principles. In addition, FCX has established and reports against its progress
on company-wide sustainable development performance targets that address issues
identified by internal and external stakeholders. FCX reports its sustainability performance
according to the Global Reporting Initiative and FCX’s 2010 Working Toward Sustainable
Development report will be available on FCX’s website at www.fcx.com upon completion of
third-party assurance.
