Designed to help guide all of us—from top-level management to entry-level employees— the PBC is how we do business. It is essential you read, understand and follow our PBC. It covers a variety of business situations—from promoting a safe workplace to complying with laws and avoiding conflicts of interest to developing positive relationships with our local communities. Using the PBC will help you apply these core values to your daily business decisions and actions. If you are not sure about something, ask. Never hesitate to seek help if you are uncertain about a legal, compliance or ethical issue. By living our values each day, we ensure the Company maintains its reputation and continues to prosper.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and our leaders around the world, thank you for all you do. Sincerely, Richard C. Adkerson Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Freeport-McMoRan | Principles of Business Conduct 5

We do our part when we: n Act with honesty and integrity n Follow the law and FCX policies and procedures n Treat each other with respect n Use common sense and sound judgment At FCX, we lead n Seek guidance when unsure about the right thing to do by example and n Speak up when we see a problem uphold the PBC n Cooperate with investigations and our values. n Complete all assigned training FCX will train all employees in the PBC. All new employees will receive training as part of the new-hire process, and additional training in the PBC will be provided periodically.

Leaders set the right tone by: n Demonstrating the highest ethical standards and quality in our work and expecting the same from every team member n Being proactive and taking steps to prevent problems before they happen n Encouraging employees to speak up when something is wrong n Ensuring all employees complete any necessary or assigned training n Being visibly engaged and proactive in supporting ethics and compliance matters 6 Freeport-McMoRan | Principles of Business Conduct Freeport-McMoRan | Principles of Business Conduct


 
Suppliers FCX believes in doing business only with suppliers of goods or services, including contractors, consultants, vendors, their subcontractors and any other contracted third parties (collectively Suppliers) who share our values and demonstrate a high level of ethical and legal conduct. We seek to establish mutually beneficial, long-term relationships with business partners who demonstrate their commitment to our Supplier Code of Conduct (Supplier Code) and ensure their employees working at Company operations or on FCX’s behalf understand and follow the Supplier Code. We expect our Suppliers to abide by the laws of the countries in which they operate and behave according to the Supplier Code. All suspected violations of the Supplier Code should be reported immediately through the resources outlined in the PBC. The Supplier Code is in addition to, and does not reduce or supersede, any contractual obligations. WHAT WE DO: WHAT WE DON’T DO: We require Suppliers to: n Permit Suppliers to use child labor or forced labor n Provide their employees with a healthy and safe workplace n Allow any kind of bribe, kickback or other form of personal payoff n Operate in compliance with all tied to our business arrangements local laws and regulations n Uphold and follow the Supplier Code For additional Supplier information, please see the Supplier Code. Making Ethical Decisions Making ethical decisions requires a commitment to do the right thing regardless of the cost, to act consistently and apply the PBC and our values each day, and to consider any potential consequences. The questions below will help you think through a difficult decision so that you can make smart and ethical business decisions. If you answer “no” or “I don’t know” to any of the questions, talk to your supervisor. Is it legal? Is it consistent Can I rationally Would I want with our PBC, and honestly to see this values, policies defend my published in the or procedures? decision? news?

INTEGRITY... STRENGTH IN VALUES: We are honest, transparent and OUR COMPANY responsible in all business dealings. As employees of FCX, we are responsible for our actions and decisions. We are honest and transparent in our work and uphold the highest standards when conducting Company business and handling Company information. We communicate openly and accurately both inside and outside the Company. Avoiding Conflicts of Interest We have an obligation to each other, our shareholders and our Suppliers to make all business decisions solely on the basis of sound business judgment. A conflict of interest may occur if we have a bias or personal interest that interferes with our ability to make an objective business decision in the best interest of the Company. This may include: n Outside jobs and affiliations with Suppliers, customers or competitors, or government agencies n Supervising friends or relatives n Having an intimate relationship with another employee for whom you influence decisions, such as salary, performance rating or promotions n Serving as a board member of another organization n Investments, including those of relatives, that might influence or appear to influence your judgment n Giving or receiving gifts on behalf of FCX Conflicts of interest aren’t necessarily wrong or unethical, but it is important that they be identified and appropriately managed. It’s also important to avoid any actions or relationships that create, or even appear to create, a conflict of interest. While it’s impossible to present an exhaustive list of conflicts of interest, the following section provides guidance on some of the areas in which conflicts of interest are most likely to occur. For more specific guidance, refer to the Conflicts of Interest Guidelines on FM Web. 16 Freeport-McMoRan | Principles of Business Conduct

Accepting gifts, travel or entertainment during a bidding process is prohibited. COMPETING WITH THE COMPANY None of us should engage in activities that are in direct competition with the Company. We should not benefit personally from business opportunities that we discover through the use of Company property, information or position. Similarly, we should not take personal advantage of information we learn as a result of our position with FCX. 20 Freeport-McMoRan | Principles of Business Conduct


 
Business gifts and entertainment can build goodwill, but they also can make it harder to be objective about the person who provides them. 21

Electronic messages also are FCX property when sent or received using any aspect of Company technology or when pertaining to Company business. Email, voicemail, Yammer, instant messages and text messages are a recoverable, forwardable and potentially permanent record of your communications. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, FCX specifically reserves the right to permit Company-approved representatives to monitor, access and review any documents housed in Company systems, and to monitor and review use of the Internet, any communications sent or received using Company electronic communication systems, and telephone records, even after the employee has deleted or erased them. All such documents, data and records are the property of the Company and may be used and disclosed by the Company as it sees fit. Employees should not assume that communications made or documents, data or records stored on the Company’s electronic systems will be private and not be accessed by the Company.

INTEGRITY… STRENGTH IN VALUES: We are honest, transparent and OUR MARKET responsible when dealing with At FCX, we strive to preserve our reputation as a competitors and company that can be trusted to deal honestly and customers. transparently everywhere we do business. We compete fairly and in accordance with the highest ethical standards and all applicable competition laws. We believe in free and open competition and do not participate in any type of unfair business practices; that is, any type of advertising or soliciting business likely to deceive or prejudice any customer. Promoting Fair Competition The United States, the European Union, countries in the Asia-Pacific region and many other nations have laws and regulations that prohibit agreements or actions among competitors that might restrain trade or reduce competition. Known as antitrust laws in the United States and competition laws or anti- monopoly laws elsewhere, these laws are designed to encourage competition and promote a fair market for doing business. However, these laws are complex, vary from country to country and cause serious legal consequences for employees and companies if violated. It is critical we avoid even the appearance of an agreement to engage in any prohibited activity with a competitor or customer. In addition to specific interactions with competitors and customers, other activities can create the risk of violating competition laws, such as collecting competitive information and benchmarking activities. COLLECTING COMPETITOR INFORMATION AND BENCHMARKING ACTIVITIES It is appropriate for the Company to keep up with competitive developments and to review all pertinent public information about our competitors. However, we cannot attempt through improper means to acquire a competitor’s trade secrets or other commercially sensitive information—such as proprietary or confidential information relating to pricing, production plans, capacity or costs, market share, bids and contract terms, or customers. As good corporate citizens, we engage in group activities related to safety, environmental and human rights issues and similar activities. When benchmarking activities involve competitors or potential competitors, no commercially sensitive information may be shared. 28 Freeport-McMoRan | Principles of Business Conduct

Responding to Inquiries from Investors, Analysts and the Media As a public company, we have the responsibility to comply with laws regarding fair and timely disclosure of Company information, including the requirements set forth in applicable securities laws. We also have a responsibility to ensure that any information about the Company is accurate and complete—free of misinformation or errors—and presented in a clear manner. That’s why it’s important that only authorized individuals speak or provide information to investors, analysts or the media about the Company’s plans, projects, strategies and financial information.

ENGAGING IN SOCIAL MEDIA RESPONSIBLY Social media—networking sites, video/photo sharing, blogs, forums and others—is a very powerful form of communication. Such communication is increasingly being used by consumers, investors and other audiences to share opinions and seek information. If we choose to use social media personally, we do so the right way. To ensure we protect the integrity of the Company, we do not: n Identify ourselves as a Company representative without authorization to do so n Speak or act on the Company’s behalf without authorization n Create the impression that our personal opinions are those of the Company n Disclose sensitive, proprietary, confidential or financial Company information, other than what’s publicly available n Post Company news and/or events in advance of an announcement or press release 31

Similarly, we cannot provide inside information to anyone or even suggest to anyone that it might be a good time to buy or sell Company stock, based on inside information.

Adhering to International Trade Regulations INTEGRITY… We are a global company, working in communities around the world. That global We do what we say focus requires us to know and comply with laws that restrict international trade. Trade control laws ensure we follow the foreign policy and national security we will do. objectives of countries in which we operate. Serious penalties—fines, revocation of export licenses, and customs inspections and delays—can apply when these laws are broken. In addition, violation of trade control laws can undermine the stated objectives of our host countries and the Company’s reputation. If your work involves selling or shipping products, technologies or services across international borders, make sure you keep up to date with the rules that apply and check with your supervisor or the Legal department if you are unsure. Some of the activities trade control laws govern include: Export and import controls. These controls are laws that regulate the movement of goods across national borders. They frequently require that we follow specific guidelines, receive the proper approvals, and pay duties and taxes on items being transported from one country to another. Economic trade sanctions. These laws restrict trade with particular countries, individuals or entities. The U.S. and other countries maintain a public list of prohibited countries and restrictions. To ensure compliance, FCX has developed procedures that require regular screening of customers and Suppliers against government lists of sanctioned parties. Illegal boycotts. U.S. law prohibits companies from complying with international boycotts that are not approved by the U.S. government. Any employee who receives a request to participate in a boycott or other prohibited trade practice must immediately contact the FCX Legal department. The Company is required by law to report any requests to participate in, or provide information in support of, an unsanctioned boycott, even if such requests are declined. Money laundering. Money laundering is when individuals or entities move funds obtained through criminal activities through the financial system to hide traces of their criminal origin, or otherwise enter into transactions to make these funds look legitimate. FCX does not tolerate, facilitate or support money laundering. WHAT WE DO: WHAT WE DON’T DO: n Comply with all laws and n Import or export prohibited goods Company policies regarding or information international trade restrictions n Conduct business with and anti-boycott laws sanctioned countries, companies n Report any requests to engage or people in boycotting activity n Report concerns about any payments or the integrity of any customer or Supplier n Ask if we have questions or are unsure about international trade laws Freeport-McMoRan | Principles of Business Conduct Freeport-McMoRan | Principles of Business Conduct 33

We abide by international and local transparent and laws and regulations that forbid bribery of government officials and others, responsible. including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. No promises or transfers of anything of value shall be made to a government official that are not consistent with our policies and applicable laws, properly authorized according to our internal procedures, properly accounted for, and clearly and accurately identified on the Company’s books and records. If you are asked to make an improper payment or account for a transaction in an incorrect manner, or become aware of any transaction that may involve an improper payment, report it promptly to the designated Compliance Officers. Keep in mind that payments include the offer, promise to pay or authorization of payment, as well as the actual payment or transfer, of anything of value on behalf of the Company to a government official or others. They also include payments to a Supplier who, in turn, is likely to transfer that payment to a government official or others. The Company has a comprehensive anti-corruption compliance program, which includes detailed policies and procedures regarding authorizations and recordkeeping for specific categories of transactions, including travel expenses, charitable contributions, gifts and entertainment, and other payments to governments and government officials. Before you incur any of these types of expenses, please be sure to check our anti-corruption compliance policies, as well as local approval procedures. FCX prohibits facilitating payments with extremely limited exceptions. Facilitating payments are payments made to help ensure that public officials perform nondiscretionary tasks they are supposed to perform as part of their normal job function (such as visa processing, providing utility service and issuing routine licenses or permits to which you are legally entitled). Any facilitating payment must be reviewed in advance by Company Compliance Officers and/or the Legal department.

HOW WE UPHOLD THE PBC Investigations FCX takes reports of alleged PBC violations seriously, no matter how the report is received. We strive to review and resolve each issue quickly, thoroughly and as confidentially as possible. We do this at a local level unless we believe the situation requires otherwise. Human Resources matters may be referred to the local Human Resources representative, accounting issues to the local controller and safety issues to the local safety manager. Depending on the situation, investigations may be conducted by the Compliance department, the Legal department or outside counsel.

Reporting a violation of our PBC, Company policy or the law does not absolve you from accountability for personal involvement in any wrongdoing or work performance. It may, however, be considered as a factor in your favor when reviewing possible disciplinary action. Waivers FCX does not expect to grant any waivers to these Principles of Business Conduct. However, waivers of any provisions for employees, executive officers or members of the Board of Directors may be made only by the Board of Directors or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors.
