Values

As one of the world’s major producers of copper, gold and molybdenum, we recognize the importance of providing these essential metals to today’s economies. But we also have an obligation to do so in balance with our corporate and social responsibilities in order to safeguard future generations. This is the core concept of sustainable development, which we embrace both as our corporate civic duty and as a prudent business practice.

We view ourselves as neighbors who live in and are part of the fabric of the local communities, committed to their futures. At every community where we operate, we work hard to minimize, mitigate and remediate where possible our environmental impacts. In addition, we implement programs globally to protect human rights and to support social development initiatives in local communities that provide improved healthcare, education, housing and employment and business development opportunities.

Our formally adopted environmental policies outline our duty to minimize and mitigate environmental impacts, to protect and enhance the quality of the environment wherever we operate, to comply with all applicable regulations and to seek continuous improvement in environmental performance. Our environmental audit policy requires all major properties worldwide to be audited at least every two years and provides additional details on auditing procedures.

Our commitments to the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) Sustainability Development Principles means we are dedicated to the continuous improvement of our environmental, safety, and social efforts from exploration through mine closure.
