Freeport CARES Employee Volunteer Program
Freeport-McMoRan's roots run deep, as does the company’s commitment to creating a culture of corporate citizenship throughout its global operations. This is supported and fostered in numerous ways, including company-sponsored volunteer opportunities for employees and their families through the Freeport CARES program. The Freeport CARES program is designed to give employees an opportunity to apply their skills to help their communities grow and thrive.

Freeport CARES volunteer projects include park clean-ups, food drives, STEM education mentoring, as well as skills-based activities. In addition to the ongoing volunteer activities throughout the year, Freeport-McMoRan mobilizes sites across the globe to focus on a specific focus area during the annual Global Volunteer Month – a program that encourages employees to unite in serving local communities through site-supported projects focused on a selected theme, such as youth development, health & wellness and environmental stewardship.

United Way Employee Campaign
Freeport-McMoRan partners with United Way and runs an employee campaign to raise funds for the United Way Chapters located in our operating communities.
