Added to our policies are external standards and initiatives in which we participate. Taken collectively, this set of internal and external commitments form the operational boundaries for working toward sustainable development. Key external initiatives are presented in the table below.

We have participated in the CDP since reporting year 2006 and CDP Water Disclosure since 2010. |
Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)*
We have been a member since 2010. |
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)*
We endorse the EITI. The DRC and Indonesia are candidate countries under EITI and, thus, our TFM and PTFI operations participate directly. Our Cerro Verde operation also participates in Peru which became an EITI compliant country in February 2012. |
GBC Health
Since 2011 we have been a member of this coalition of member companies and organizations committed to making a healthier world, including in the communities where we work. |
