Freeport Named One of the Most Civic-Minded Companies in the U.S.

June 26, 2026

Freeport has again been named one of the 50 most community-minded companies in the United States with its inclusion on The Civic 50 list, which recognizes corporate volunteerism and community engagement. The company also was recognized as the top performer in the Materials sector.

This is the 13th time Freeport has made the list since its inception in 2012, making it “one of a small, distinguished group of companies that have consistently earned top recognition in the program’s 14-year history,” according to the Points of Light Foundation, a nonpartisan global nonprofit organization that compiles the annual list.

“We’re honored to be recognized as one of The Civic 50, reflecting Freeport’s commitment to strong community engagement and the spirit of volunteerism across our company,” said Tracy Bame, Senior Director of Social Performance and President of the Freeport-McMoRan Foundation. “Our approach is grounded in partnership – working alongside our employees, host communities, Indigenous peoples and other stakeholders to ensure resources are directed toward meaningful initiatives that build long-term resilience and create shared value.

“This focus on collaboration is central to our sustainability pillars and guides how we operate every day as described in our Annual Report on Sustainability.”

Third-party assessment

To maximize the value of the time and resources it dedicates to communities in North America, the company works with third-party organization True Impact to measure the number of people reached and evaluate the outcomes of these efforts.  

A 2025 analysis of 99 programs funded the previous year, representing about $13.4 million of Freeport’s community spending in North America, shows nearly 147,000 people experienced positive social impacts. Those include areas such as improved academic performance; increased access to community resources; improvements in safety, health and well-being; and financial strength through improved employment, professional skills and increased income.

Freeport invested about $192 million in community programs worldwide in 2025.

The Civic 50 recognizes civic-minded U.S. companies, both publicly traded and private, with revenues of at least $1 billion based on their employee volunteer programs, community investment strategies, and social impact practices. It was launched in 2012 as a partnership between the nonprofit Points of Light, the National Conference on Citizenship and Bloomberg LP.
