At the foundation of everything we do, is a commitment to engagement and open dialogue with communities. We seek to listen, understand, inform and build trust.
Our social license to operate and grow our operations is directly dependent on community relationships. The Freeport-McMoRan Social Performance Policy requires close collaboration with local stakeholders to minimize and mitigate adverse impacts and cultivate opportunities to maximize positive impacts. Community engagement is the key to successful two-way communications so that community members have input into our programs, as well as to ensure local understanding of our operations, impacts and mitigation plans.

Community Partnership Panels
One of the primary ways we engage with local communities is through a model we call “Community Partnership Panels” (CPPs) which are comprised of local leaders and citizens representing a broad range of stakeholder groups across all sectors of the community who meet on regular basis.
CPP meetings are designed to:
- Share information about the company’s operational activities and facilitate a dialogue and collaboration to mitigate any negative impacts and maximize positive impacts
- Encourage the community to share questions or concerns so that we may respond
- Identify, define and prioritize each community’s social issues and related needs
- Develop strategies, actions and potential projects to address the needs
- Create overall collaboration that leads to success
