Freeport-McMoRan maintains a sustainability reporting prioritization assessment process to define topics and their level of priority to the company and its stakeholders for inclusion in its sustainability reporting. The process allows for:
- A structured and objective approach for decision-making and planning around sustainability reporting
- Selecting topics to include in annual sustainability reporting based on a documented measurement approach and evaluation of sustainability topics of importance to internal and external stakeholders
- Monitoring trends in sustainability topics of importance to stakeholders over time
- Adherence to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards framework
The prioritization process requires a cross-review of documents and systems that summarize stakeholder engagements, such as queries received from value chain members, as well as community and employee grievance reports, community engagement processes and reports, environmental and social impact assessment reports, employee surveys, and meetings with financial stakeholders, NGOs and industry groups. These reviews are used to prioritize the level of importance of reporting topics to key groups with whom we regularly engage as part of our business at the corporate and operational levels.
To align prioritization of reporting topics from the perspective of importance to our business, we review the outputs of our operations’ Sustainable Development Risk Register process and consider the topics addressed in our corporate public reporting, including our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In most instances, key sustainability topics prioritized by our business are also of high importance to stakeholders. On occasion, we have chosen to report on GRI Standards indicators that may not be of high importance to internal or external stakeholders because our reporting systems historically have captured the information, which is used by certain groups, such as sustainability analysts.
We are reporting in accordance with the GRI Standards core option and the G4 Mining and Metals Sector Supplement. We have reported under GRI guidelines annually since 2005. A Sustainability Reporting Prioritization Assessment process that focuses on risks and opportunities, both to the business and to stakeholders, is used to delineate the reported topics and disclosures.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide an ambitious framework for sustainable development globally, including in the countries where we operate. They are the UN-agreed priority areas for global sustainable development between 2015 and 2030. Freeport-McMoRan seeks to make a positive contribution to the SDGs while mitigating any potential impediments to their realization. We are in the process of prioritizing areas where we can help advance the SDGs, at both the corporate and asset levels, while enhancing our existing programs that align with SDG objectives. We are also implementing the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) Sustainable Development Framework and continue to implement ICMM’s Mining Principles that are aligned to the SDGs. A cross-reference to the SDGs and reported information is available in our GRI Content Index below. |
Data presented in this section include the primary operations of Freeport-McMoRan’s mining subsidiaries: Freeport Minerals Company (FMC) and PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) for the period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
