Freeport-McMoRan has set several climate commitments. Established in 2020, one target aims to reduce the GHG emissions intensity of its Americas Copper operations by 15% from a 2018 baseline. Another target, established in 2022, seeks to reduce the GHG emissions intensity of its Indonesia operations by 30% by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline. The company has also set absolute reduction targets by 2030 from a 2018 baseline, aiming to reduce GHG emissions from its Atlantic Copper smelter & refinery by 50% and its primary molybdenum sites by 35%. These targets collectively cover nearly 100% of global Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. The company's Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) status for near-term targets is currently "Removed". All emissions and reduction target data are directly reported by Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
