Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) today announced the
publication of its updated Climate Report, which outlines FCX’s
ongoing initiatives to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
improve energy efficiency, evaluate and integrate the use of lower
carbon and renewable energy sources and enhance its resilience to
future climate-related risks.
Richard C. Adkerson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
said, “Freeport aspires to participate in — and positively
contribute to — a 2050 net zero economy. As the global energy
system continues to evolve, we play a vital role in progressing a
low-carbon future. The copper we produce is essential to new and
existing technologies that will support global efforts to
decarbonize. We are proud of our industry leading position and are
dedicated to the responsibility that comes with it. This includes
continuing to advance our climate strategy, demonstrating momentum
toward our goals and innovating in order to take practical,
responsible steps towards an eventual net zero mining
future.”
FCX continues to advance its GHG emissions reduction initiatives
across its global operations and has established 2030 GHG reduction
targets that now collectively cover nearly 100 percent of its Scope
1 and 2 GHG emissions. FCX plans to submit its 2030 GHG emissions
reduction targets to the Science Based Target initiative for
validation.
FCX continues to make meaningful progress in advancing efforts
to decarbonize its electricity supply, including progressing a
study at PT-FI to evaluate the feasibility of replacing its
coal-fired power plant in the future. FCX also is collaborating
with equipment manufacturers and various industry consortiums with
the aim of contributing to technological solutions that will help
the company achieve its climate objectives.
FCX’s 2021 Climate Report reflects the company’s continued
progress to align with the recommendations of the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures and includes third-party
verified Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions data in accordance with ISO
14064 (Specifications 1 and 3). To learn more about FCX’s climate
strategy and progress, please read FCX’s updated Climate Report,
