Reporting Period:
January 1, 2006-December 31,
2006
In January of 2005, 16 leading mining and metals companies
comprising the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM)
agreed to report on their sustainable development performance
using the GRI Sustainability Reporting Framework, including the
Mining and Metals Sector Supplement.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a multi-stakeholder
process and independent institution whose mission is to develop
and disseminate globally applicable Sustainability Reporting
Guidelines.
The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) is a
CEO-led organization dedicated to sustainable development and to
the vision of a viable mining, minerals and metals industry
widely recognized as essential for modern living and a key
contributor to sustainable development.
FCX’s
report is based on GRI requirements.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) is a company
incorporated in the state of Delaware, U.S.A. where its common
stock, preferred stock and senior notes are publicly traded on
the New York Stock Exchange. Our common stock symbol is FCX. Our
Indonesian mining affiliate, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI), is a
major producer of copper from mineral ore containing significant
amounts of gold. The world requires the copper we produce to
sustain and expand economies and for infrastructure development.
The copper concentrate from our mining complex in Papua,
Indonesia, and the copper products from our wholly owned
Atlantic Copper, S.A. smelter in Spain and our 25-percent-owned
smelter in Indonesia, PT Smelting, are essential for the
communications, transportation, electronics and other industries
on which the world relies.
Note: FCX, as a founding member of ICMM, is committed to
superior business practices in sustainable development. We have
committed to implement the ICMM Sustainable Development
Framework and comply with policy statements of the ICMM Council;
details are given in our Working Toward Sustainable Development
report. The ICMM Sustainable Development Framework comprises
four elements: a set of 10 Principles, supported by public
reporting in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
guidelines, independent assurance, and a commitment to sharing
good practice. FCX is fully committed to the Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI).
The left-hand column of the report indicates which of the 10
ICMM Principles corresponds to each item within the GRI report.
On November 19, 2006,
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) and Phelps Dodge
Corporation announced that they had signed a definitive merger
agreement whereby FCX would acquire Phelps Dodge for
approximately $25.9 billion in cash and stock. The shareholders
of both companies approved the transaction on March 14, 2007,
and the transaction was completed on March 19, 2007. The
information contained in this report, which covers the reporting
period of January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006, does not
reflect the impact of this transaction.

Verification Statement |
| Matrix+ Consulting UK
Limited was commissioned by Freeport-McMoRan Copper &
Gold Inc. (FCX) to verify claims made in Sections 1 to 3
as well as quantitative information for selected
indicators included in the GRI Indicators Table in
section 4 of the company’s Global Reporting Initiative
2006 report to be posted on the FCX web site.
|
|
Scope |
Regarding Sections
1-3, the scope of work comprised a review of statements
made in respect of policies and processes that are being
used to manage FCX’s sustainable development agenda.
With respect to section 4, the scope of work comprised a
desk top and site assessment of 29 core indicators and 4
additional indicators of the GRI 2002 Sustainability
Reporting Guidelines and Mining and Metals Supplement,
including: Economic (14), Environment (12), Labour
Practices and Decent Work (6), and Human Rights (1).
For
some economic Indicators, FCX aggregate data was
verified by Matrix+ Consulting UK. For all other
indicators, only data pertaining to PT Freeport
Indonesia (PTFI) was verified at site level by Matrix+
Consulting UK (see Table 1 below). An independent review
of Atlantic Copper S.A. was not undertaken by Matrix+
Consulting, as this operation was subject to a separate
verification process. |

Methodology |
|
Regarding Sections
1-3, a desktop assessment was carried out to
evaluate the extent to which company statements
could be upheld in the context of FCX’s operational
and governance activities. This included a review of
key documents requested by Matrix+ Consulting UK and
provided by FCX, some of which had to be translated
from Indonesian or Spanish into English.
No site based
assessments were carried out.
Regarding Section 4,
a desktop assessment was carried out to evaluate the
risk of incompleteness and inaccuracy, based on the
mode of collecting information relating to each GRI
Indicator in Table 1 above, using the AS/NZS
4360:2004 Risk Management standard.
A 3-day site assessment was then carried out at PTFI
by a senior auditor. Auditing priority was applied
to the parameters with a higher risk ranking, and
supplemented by sampling of parameters with a lower
risk ranking. Calculations and spreadsheets were
viewed and interrogated to obtain an understanding
of the consistency of the reporting processes and to
test the accuracy of the aggregation processes for
high priority indicators. Interviews were held with
various representatives of FCX and PTFI.
|
|
Limitations of the Verification |
This verification has been carried out by checking
samples of information and documents that have been made
available during the period of verification activity by
FCX and PTFI. Information provided that has been deemed
to be independently verified by other third parties has
been considered to be appropriately verified, and was
not subjected to re-auditing by Matrix+ Consulting.
Accordingly, Matrix+ Consulting has not checked or
reviewed all of FCX’s and PTFI’s information and
documents and related data collection and management
systems.
This verification applies to selected information
reported in Sections 1 to 3 inclusive as well as
quantitative information reported on selected indicators
in the GRI Indicators Table in section 4 of FCX’s
Global Reporting Initiative 2006 report
and posted on the
company’s website. It does not extend to any updates
that may be posted after this date. The verification
statement provided by Matrix+ Consulting is not intended
to be used as advice or as the basis for any decisions,
including, without limitation, financial or investment
decisions.

|
Key Findings |
| Based on our review: |
- • We are not aware of any misstatements made in
respect of the information provided by FCX in
Sections 1-3. We have no cause to believe that
claims placed on the website cannot be supported.
- • We have no cause to believe that GRI Indicator
data verified by Matrix+ Consulting UK has not been
properly collated from information reported at an
operational level or transcribed from independent
studies of the economic impacts of PTFI.
|
The audit identified
a number of areas in PTFI's reporting process that could
be enhanced and underpin the transparent, accurate and
complete reporting of performance.
- • The transparency associated with Indicator
EC13, Indirect Economic Impacts, could be improved.
This Indicator has been reported using authoritative
information from an independent analysis of the
economic impacts of the PT Freeport Indonesia
operation and represents diligent application of
available data. A review of the methodology and data
bases used to undertake this analysis could be
undertaken to support the magnitude of the Indirect
Impact claim.
- • The size and scope of PTFI has resulted in
several decentralized processes of data capture and
analysis for the various Indicators, particularly
environmental Indicators. Greater control on the
accuracy and completeness of data could be achieved
by consolidating various processes on site to form a
more streamlined approach to data capture. It was
noted that some consolidation processes were already
being instituted in 2007.
- • A systematic, continuous and retrospective
process for internal testing of data has not been
implemented uniformly across the site for all
parameters reported. A systematic process for
identifying material inconsistencies would benefit
the reporting activity, reduce the risk of
collecting and collating erroneous data, and promote
early management intervention on negative trends.
- • Clearer on-site definitions of Indicators
pursued for reporting, Standard Operating Procedures
for capturing relevant information and additional
training of personnel charged with capturing this
information would further improve the reporting
process.
- • Further detailed findings for each Indica
tor
examined by Matrix+ Consulting are presented in a
Management Report to FCX.

1. Sustainable
Development Vision and Strategy
On March
19, 2007, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. completed
its acquisition of Phelps Dodge Corporation, creating
the world’s largest publicly traded copper company. The
new Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. is an
international mining industry leader with its corporate
headquarters in North America with large, long-lived,
geographically diverse assets and significant proven and
probable reserves of copper, gold, and molybdenum. The
world requires the metals we produce to sustain and
expand economies and to build infrastructure in
developing nations.
While this is a dramatic change within our Company, it
neither alters our commitments nor our longstanding,
mutually beneficial partnerships with our stakeholders
in Indonesia and Spain. Through our Indonesian mining
affiliate, PT Freeport Indonesia, we have long been a
major producer of copper from mineral ore containing
significant amounts of gold. Additionally, we continue
to produce copper products from our wholly owned
Atlantic Copper, S.A. smelter in Spain and our
25-percent-owned Gresik smelter in Indonesia, which are
essential for the construction, communications,
transportation, electronics, energy transmission and
other industries on which the world relies. Because the
acquisition of Phelps Dodge was not completed until
March 19, 2007, this report focuses on the activities of
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., its affiliates and
subsidiaries during 2006.
This report reviews our sustainable development
programs, which are based on our underlying commitments
that help build the foundation for vibrant communities.
We recognize that the economic need for our products
must be balanced with social and environmental
considerations so that, in meeting the demands of the
present generation, we do not compromise the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs. This is the
core concept of sustainable development. We embrace this
responsibility both as one of our principal duties as a
corporate citizen and as a sound and prudent business
practice. Working toward sustainable development in our
business operations and programs helps ensure healthy
environments for our workforce and the communities in
our areas of operation, which are vital to our on-going
success.
We have an Environmental Policy and a Social,
Employment, and Human Rights Policy which guide us on
the path toward sustainable development. We recognize
the significant challenges we must overcome to stay on
that path and are cognizant that our mining operations
have impacts on the surrounding environment and
neighboring communities. Our responsibility and
commitment is to minimize and mitigate environmental
impacts and to maximize the beneficial economic and
social results of our operations. This is not a static
commitment expressed through rigid programs. We are
committed to continuous improvement in our sustainable
development performance. Accordingly, we assess our
environmental management and social development programs
annually in a constant search for better ways of
achieving our sustainable development goals. In this
regard, we do not rely solely on our own judgment,
having learned from experience the value of looking at
our programs through independent audits. During 2006,
the International Center for Corporate Accountability
team visited our operations site in Indonesia for a
follow-up to its 2004 independent audit of our social
and human rights programs. In addition, the
International Certification Services Division of Société
Générale de Surveillance (SGS), an International
Standardization Organization (ISO) 14001 registration
and certification organization based in Geneva,
Switzerland, with offices in Indonesia, performed a
surveillance audit on PT Freeport Indonesia’s
environmental management system. PT Freeport Indonesia
also participated in the environmental management
performance assessments organized by the Indonesian
Ministry of Environment. These outside audits provide us
with invaluable insights and recommendations are now
being implemented to improve our sustainable development
performance.
In Papua, Indonesia, we are mining the world’s largest
reserve of copper and gold and our planning horizons
extend decades into the future. We do not make these
plans alone. Our operations, projects, and programs are
carried out in partnership with the Government of
Indonesia, the Province of Papua, Mimika Regency, and
neighboring communities — all of whom have a stake in
seeing that our contributions result in a sustainable
future that benefits all. We maintain a regular dialogue
with our stakeholders. Our commitment to sustainable
development is significant. We invested over $100
million in sustainable development programs during 2006
in Papua, including $27 million on environmental
management and $77 million on social development. But
monetary amounts fail to convey the significance of our
environmental programs or the beneficial impacts of our
educational, healthcare, social, and economic
development programs on neighboring communities in
Papua. This report documents these efforts.

State how the board determines
“independence:” On the basis of
information solicited from each director,
and upon the advice and recommendation of
the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, the board has affirmatively
determined that seven of its thirteen
members as of December 31, 2006 had no
material relationship with the company and
are thus independent within the meaning of
our corporate governance guidelines, which
comply with the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) director independence standards as
currently in effect. Further, the board has
determined that each of the members of the
audit, corporate personnel, and nominating
and corporate governance committees has no
material relationship with the company and
is independent within the meaning of our
corporate governance guidelines, which adopt
the heightened statutory and NYSE
independence standards applicable to audit
committee members (Link
to page 5 of 2007 Proxy).

Process for determining the expertise
board members need to guide the strategic
direction of the organization, including
issues related to environmental and social
risks and opportunities: In evaluating
nominees for membership on the board, the
Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee applies the board membership
criteria set forth in our corporate
governance guidelines. Under these criteria,
the committees take into account many
factors, including personal and professional
integrity, general understanding of our
industry, corporate finance and other
matters relevant to the successful
management of a large publicly traded
company in today’s business environment,
educational and professional background,
independence, and the ability and
willingness to work cooperatively with other
members of the board and with senior
management. The committee evaluates each
individual in the context of the board as a
whole, with the objective of recommending
nominees who can best perpetuate the success
of the business, be an effective director in
conjunction with the full board, and
represent stockholder interests through the
exercise of sound judgment using their
diversity of experience in these various
areas.
3.3.1 Board-level processes for overseeing the
organization’s identification and management
of economic, environmental, and social risks
and opportunities. The Public Policy
Committee (PPC) has primary responsibility
for assisting the Board of Directors in
fulfilling the Board’s oversight
responsibilities with respect to the
Company’s (1) environmental policy and
implementation programs, (2) governmental
and community relations and information
programs, (3) social, employment, and human
rights policies and practices, (4) health
and safety programs, and (5) charitable and
philanthropic contributions.
The PPC meets at least three times annually
or more frequently if deemed appropriate.
The chairperson of the PPC presides at each
meeting and, in consultation with the other
members of the PPC and management, sets the
agenda for each meeting. The PPC may request
that any directors, officers, or employees
of the Company, or other persons whose
advice and counsel are sought by the PPC,
attend any meeting of the PPC to provide
information as the PPC requests, but the PPC
reserves the right in its discretion to meet
at any time in executive session. The
Committee delivers regular reports of its
activities to the Board. The Committee keeps
written minutes of its meetings, which
minutes are available to every member of the
Board of Directors. The full scope and
charter of the Public Policy Committee is
available on our web site:
www.fcx.com.

Linkage between executive compensation
and achievement of the organization’s
financial and non-financial goals (e.g.,
environmental performance, labor practices):
The Corporate Personnel Committee, which is
composed of four independent directors,
determines the compensation of our executive
officers and administers our annual
incentive, long-term incentive, and stock
option plans. The committee met four times
during 2006.
The committee’s executive compensation
philosophy is to:
•
Emphasize performance-based compensation
that balances rewards for both short- and
long-term results and provide high reward
opportunities for high performing
individuals
•
Tie compensation to the interests of
stockholders
• Provide a competitive level of total compensation that will
attract and retain talented executives.
A primary goal of the committee is to
position us to attract and retain the
highest level of executive talent. To
accomplish this goal, the committee has
traditionally targeted our total executive
compensation levels in the top quartile of
comparable companies, including companies in
other industries whose operational,
corporate financing, and other activities
are considered comparable to those
activities in which we have engaged in
recent years (Link
to page 14 of 2007 Proxy).

Organizational structure and key
individuals responsible for oversight,
implementation, and audit of economic,
environmental, social, and related policies.
Include identification of the highest level
of management below the board level directly
responsible for setting and implementing
environmental and social policies, as well
as general organizational structure below
the board level: The organizational
structure and key individuals responsible
for oversight, implementation, and audit of
economic, environmental, social, and related
policies are described in detail in the 2006
Annual Report and on the FCX Web Site (Link
to Executive
Management Section of FCX web site).
|
|

3.6 |
Mission and values statements, internally
developed codes of conduct or principles,
and policies relevant to economic,
environmental, and social performance and
the status of implementation. Describe the
status of implementation in terms of degree
to which the code is applied across the
organization in different regions and
departments/units. “Policies” refers to
those that apply to the organization as a
whole, but may not necessarily provide
substantial detail on the specific aspects
listed under the performance indicators in
Part C, Section 5 of the Guidelines.
We recognize that economic need must be
balanced with responsible social and
environmental management so that, in meeting
the demands of the present generation, we do
not compromise the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. This is
the core concept of sustainable development.
At FCX, we embrace this responsibility both
as our duty as corporate citizens and as a
sound and prudent business practice. Working
toward sustainable development in our
business operations and programs helps
ensure a healthy environment and communities
in our areas of operation, which is vital to
our future success.
We have
Environmental and
Social, Employment, and Human Rights
Policies that guide us on the path toward
sustainable development. As operators of one
of the world’s greatest mines, we recognize
the significant challenges we must overcome
to stay on that path. Our mining operations
impact the surrounding environment and
neighboring communities. It is our
responsibility and commitment to minimize
and mitigate environmental impacts and to
maximize the beneficial economic and social
results of our operations.
This is not a static commitment expressed
through rigid programs. We are committed to
continuous improvement in our sustainable
development performance. This means we
assess our environmental management and
social development programs annually in a
constant search for better ways of doing
things. In this regard, we do not rely
solely on our own judgment; rather we gain
the value of looking at our programs through
a “fresh set of eyes” with independent
audits. In 2005, we voluntarily submitted to
an independent audit of our environmental
management systems by the internationally
recognized firm of Montgomery Watson Harza.
In 2005 and 2006, we underwent an
independent audit of our social and human
rights programs by the International Center
for Corporate Accountability. The results of
these audits, which were made public,
provided us with invaluable insights and
numerous recommendations, now being
implemented, that will improve our
sustainable development performance.
FCX, PT-FI and Atlantic Copper, S.A. have
established a comprehensive Ethics and
Business Conduct Policy, which requires all
employees to adhere to ethical standards
established by the company and consistent
with applicable laws, including the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. All appropriate company
personnel are required to certify annually
their adherence to this policy. In addition,
employees are required to notify the company
compliance officer of any activity,
transaction or other information involving a
suspected violation of the policy. Any
reported incidents or concerns about
violations or potential violations are
investigated and resolved appropriately.
We conduct periodic training sessions for
our managers, supervisors and other
personnel so they can identify potential
issues and know how to respond
appropriately. We also periodically review
our policies and procedures to ensure that
applicable legal requirements and
expectations regarding corporate
responsibility are met.
See our
corporate policies
on our web site.
We are mining the world’s largest known
reserve of copper and gold and our planning
horizons extend decades into the future. But
we do not make these plans alone. Our
operations, projects, and programs are
carried out in partnership with the
Government of Indonesia, Papua Province,
Mimika Regency, and neighboring communities
– all of whom have a stake in seeing that
ours is a sustainable future that benefits
all. We maintain a constant dialogue with
our stakeholders.

Mechanisms for shareholders to provide
recommendations or direction to the board of
directors. Include reference to any policies
or processes regarding the use of
shareholder resolutions or other mechanisms
for enabling minority shareholders to
express opinions to management:
Shareholders may deliver proposals for
inclusion in the proxy statement to the
Corporate Secretary, Freeport-McMoRan
Copper & Gold Inc., One North Central
Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85004. Shareholders
may also present proposals at the annual
meeting by submitting them in writing to our
Corporate Secretary, at the above address,
in accordance with the specific procedural
requirements in our by-laws. The by-laws are
accessible on our web site at:
Corporate Governance/Bylaws. (Link

Stakeholder Engagement
|
|
1 |
3.8 |
Basis for identification and selection of
major stakeholders. This includes the
processes for defining an organization's
stakeholders and for determining which
groups to engage. FCX, as one of the
largest publicly traded mining companies
world-wide, engages with a wide variety of
stakeholders, including shareholders,
employees, government officials, media,
community members, and non-governmental
organizations. All of these stakeholders are
important to us, and we strive to engage all
of them so that they have accurate
information on our Company.

Approaches to stakeholder consultation
reported in terms of frequency of
consultations by type and by stakeholder
group. This could include surveys, focus
groups, community panels, corporate advisory
panels, written communication,
management/union structures, and other
vehicles. FCX regularly undertakes a
wide variety of stakeholder communication
and engagement activities, depending on the
specific stakeholders involved and the
nature and frequency of information to be
communicated. These include surveys, focus
groups, community panels, print
communication, audio and video broadcasts,
informal discussions, and other mechanisms.

3.11 |
Use of information resulting from
stakeholder engagements. For example, this
could include selecting performance
benchmarks or influencing specific decisions
on policy or operations. FCX takes
seriously all legitimate concerns and issues
raised by its stakeholders. In 2006, PT-FI
met with government agencies to answer
questions about its work practices, hosted
over 1,000 visitors from government,
community, academia, and other agencies to
its Jobsite, participated in industry
meetings and conferences, worked
cooperatively with local government on
infrastructure development and gold panning
related issues, and launched new
communication programs designed to help
employees learn more about the business.
Overarching Policies and Management
Systems
Explanation of whether and how the
precautionary approach or principle is
addressed by the organization. This could
include an example that illustrates the
organization’s approach to risk management
in the operational planning or the
development and introduction of new
products. For reference, see the glossary
for text of Article 15 of the Rio Principles
on the precautionary approach.
As a member of ICMM, FCX is implementing
the ICMM Sustainable Development Framework.
Principle 4 in the Framework calls for
implementing risk management strategies. FCX
conducts formal risk assessments relating to
operations. For example, formal risk
assessments are held relating to structural
stability and potential acid rock drainage
generation from overburden stockpiles.
Identified risks are controlled through the
development of Standard Operating Procedures
or structural modifications.
All operating facilities have environmental
management systems certified to ISO 14001.
This certification requires that all
environmental aspects of the operations be
identified and the potential impacts
evaluated. Those aspects that have higher
degrees of probability and potential damage
are addressed in formal Action Plans to
reduce or eliminate the impact.

environmental management system, a
requirement for maintaining our ISO 14001
certification.
•
FCX is committed to independent, external
environmental audits every three years, the
results of which are made public.
External independent environmental audits
were conducted in 1996, 1999, 2002 and 2005. (Link
to 2005 Montgomery Watson Harza Audit on
www.fcx.com).
•
PT-FI participated in the environmental
management performance rating program, known
as PROPER, conducted by the Indonesian
Ministry of Environment. A number of
recommendations resulted from the PROPER
review and these are being implemented.
• In December, the Minister of Energy and Minerals Resources
presented PT-FI with the Gold Environmental
Award. This award is recognition for PT-FI’s
environmental effort in erosion and sediment
management in mining activities.
In our Social, Employment, and Human Rights
Policy, we commit to periodically engaging
an independent firm to audit the Company’s
implementation of the Policy to assess its
effectiveness and the extent of the
Company’s compliance. We engaged the
International Center for Corporate
Accountability to conduct this audit in
2004, the results of which are available on
FCX’s web site.
In 2006, FCX engaged ICCA to
conduct a follow-up to the original audit.
This included assessment of our
implementation of recommended changes
identified in the first phase of the audit,
as well as assessing company-funded
healthcare programs and the compliance of
major contractors and privatized partners
with the company’s Social, Employment, and
Human Rights Policy. The follow-up report is
to be issued in 2007. |
