Freeport-McMoRan’s Community Partnership Panels Get High Marks from Community Stakeholders

Freeport-McMoRan’s Community Partnership Panels (CPPs) comprise a broad range of stakeholder group representatives across all sectors of the community. The panels meet regularly to learn about the status of the business and operational activities, and discuss and collaborate on ways to mitigate any challenges.

CPP meetings are designed to:

• Share information about Freeport-McMoRan’s operational activities
• Encourage the community to share questions or concerns so that Freeport-McMoRan may respond
• Identify, define and prioritize each community’s social issues and related needs
• Develop strategies, actions and potential projects to address needs

Respondents to a recent survey of members of Freeport-McMoRan’s Community Partnership Panels showed that:

• 89% of CPP members agree that Freeport-McMoRan takes their concerns, interests and questions seriously
• 87% say the CPPs provide access to information about Freeport-McMoRan operations issues that affect their communities
• 80% believe they are provided accurate and complete information
• Almost 75% say the CPP forum helps the community effectively consider its own sustainability and work toward creating long-term benefits

There are 11 Community Partnership Panels in the United States near Freeport-McMoRan operations sites in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.
