...Freeport-McMoRan and its affiliates are dedicated to the recognition and respect of human rights wherever we do business. We respect the rights of all individuals including employees, contractors, business partners, host communities, Indigenous Peoples and other stakeholders who may be affected by our business activities. We do not tolerate human rights abuses at our operations. We are committed to implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. We work to enable and promote respect for the rights of host communities, including in relation to health, safety, livelihoods, land use and cultural heritage, as well as the values, traditions, beliefs and rights of Indigenous Peoples.

We do not condone any form of threats, intimidation or violence against those who peacefully promote and defend human rights. We recognize the value of an active and open society supported by the rule of law and believe it is important that our stakeholders are able to express their opinions safely without fear of reprisal or persecution...
