OUR VALUES
Our culture is the bedrock of FCX's sustainability strategy, aligning our core company values to our work. Our core values direct the decisions we make as a company and as individual employees. These values represent who we are and how we work — everyone, everywhere, every day.

  • Safety
    We put safety first — for ourselves, our co-workers and our communities — by actively promoting safe practices and health and wellness. No job is so important and no schedule so urgent that time cannot be taken to plan and perform work in a safe manner.

    We treat each other and our stakeholders with respect. We value the diversity, ideas, perspectives and experiences of our employees and our stakeholders.
  • Integrity
    We are honest, transparent and responsible, and we do what we say we will do.

    We pursue excellence in our work by taking pride in what we do and always doing our best. We collaborate to create and implement innovative ideas and to develop solutions to issues and concerns.
  • Commitment
    We are committed to contributing to the long-term sustainability of the environment and communities where we work. We hold ourselves accountable for our environmental and social performance.
