Freeport-McMoRan scores 22/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Freeport-McMoRan joint 558th of 596 companies scored, and joint 7th of 13 in Mining & Extraction.
Freeport-McMoRan reports comprehensively on climate and environmental governance but delivers minimal decarbonization. Intensity-only targets mask flat absolute emissions; Grasberg's coal infrastructure transition to LNG reinforces fossil fuel lock-in. Systemic water and ecosystem damage across operations, $166.7M in regulatory penalties since 2000, and undisclosed climate lobbying through trade associations define a company managing disclosure while perpetuating harm.
