Our people are critical to our ongoing success. We benefit from a diverse global workforce, represented by a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. We come together in the workplace as One Freeport and strive to maintain a culture of mutual respect where all of us can enjoy a sense of belonging. Working together, we have overcome many challenges and have accomplished great things for our business, our families and the communities where we live and work.
We live in a complex world with enormous challenges and opportunities. Because of our global reach, issues affecting societies and communities also affect our workplace. All of us have likely experienced some form of conflict in our lives associated with disrespect, discrimination, bullying or harassment. We know how badly these situations can impact our daily lives at work and at home.
We encourage everyone as Team Freeport to be sensitive to one another, provide support, and foster a spirit of inclusion and belonging. All of us deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
Following the recent publication of a report by a major company in the global mining industry highlighting the presence of a negative workplace culture, we want to reflect on these issues and reinforce our objective to maintain a workplace where our people can work in unity and reach their highest potential without experiencing disrespect, discrimination or harassment.
Our corporate values of Safety, Respect, Integrity, Excellence and Commitment guide the way we conduct our work together and treat others. Our Principles of Business Conduct provides information about our established guidelines.
If you experience or witness incidents of discrimination, harassment or other harmful workplace behavior, please report it so that we can address issues to help ensure a respectful workplace experience for all employees.
Thank you for your commitment to our great company and for your contributions to our success.
