Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold

From Freeport-McMoran's statement of support to the EITI:

In 2008, we endorsed and committed to support the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). These principles and criteria require an international commitment for governments to disclose revenues and companies to disclose payments to governments to advance societal governance and accountability in countries where EITI agreements are in place.

We are an active member of the ICMM and adhere to its Transparency of Mineral Revenues position statement. ICMM supports EITI with an annual contribution of £190,000 GBP.

Peru and the DRC are candidate countries under EITI and, thus, our Cerro Verde and Tenke Fungurume Mining operations participate directly in the initiative. We have supported this process by reporting payments published in each of these countries' EITI reports. Indonesia has joined the EITI, and we work with multilateral donors, NGOs, and other companies to support the process, as well as provide voluntary publication of our payments to the Indonesian government.
