The Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPs) serve as guidelines for our security and human rights programs, including for interactions with government police, military personnel and private security contractors. We primarily focus our implementation on Indonesia and Peru, which are higher-risk jurisdictions for security and human rights. Dedicated human rights compliance officers at PTFI and Cerro Verde conduct training on our human rights policy and commitments, including the VPs, for new and current workforce members. Additionally, pre-deployment training is provided to all public security personnel assigned to the sites under memorandums of understanding and support agreements at PTFI and Cerro Verde, respectively. As part of its training, PTFI maintains a Human Rights Ambassador program designed to extend education and awareness of human rights to on-site contractors in Papua and Gresik. Ambassadors are volunteers from contractor companies who are trained by PTFI and then tasked with promoting human rights and conducting human rights training in their respective companies.

We report annually on security matters at and near our operations to the Voluntary Principles Plenary. Refer to our latest Voluntary Principles Report to the Plenary for more information.
