Freeport Mcmoran

Freeport-McMoRan's carbon emissions in 2025 were approximately 13.93 billion kg CO2e. This included 5.06 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, 2.89 billion kg CO2e in Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, and 6.04 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions.

In 2024, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 5.41 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were about 2.48 billion kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories for 2024 included purchased goods and services at approximately 3.21 billion kg CO2e, processing of sold products at 1.28 billion kg CO2e, and fuel and energy-related activities at 1.62 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back to 2023, Freeport-McMoRan reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 62.31 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of about 2.62 billion kg CO2e, and total Scope 3 emissions of roughly 6.43 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were around 51.11 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 37.39 million kg CO2e, and total Scope 3 emissions were about 5.89 billion kg CO2e.

Freeport-McMoRan has established several climate commitments. Atlantic Copper, part of Freeport-McMoRan, has committed to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2018 as a base year. The company also aims to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of its Americas Copper operations by 15% from its 2018 baseline by 2030, measured per metric tonne of copper cathode. Furthermore, it seeks to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of its Indonesia operations (PT-FI) by 30% by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline, per metric tonne of payable copper. Additional absolute targets include a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions at its Atlantic Copper smelter and refinery, and a 35% reduction at its primary molybdenum sites, both by 2030 from a 2018 baseline. Freeport-McMoRan Inc. had a "Committed" near-term target status with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as of April 2022, which was later updated to "Removed" or "Commitment removed" in subsequent updates.
