55 Years of Freeport’s Synergy to Build the Nation

07 April 2022

Marking its 55th anniversary. PT Freeport Indonesia has reaffirmed its commitment through a theme it is carrying in commemoration of its anniversary “Dedication to the Nation” which unites the determination to give the best to the country from “Our Home”

A home built on the values of Safety, Integrity, Commitment, Respect and Excellence or abbreviated as SINCERE. Values that are a guidance to employees on how to behave and to always give their best. For more than 5 decades PTFI has been a strategic partner to the Government in its efforts to transform resources into prosperity and sustainable development for the people of Indonesia.

As an inseparable part of Papua, we have been playing a role in supporting the progress of the community in various aspects. We still remember very well the success Papua has achieved in hosting the 20th National Sport Week in 2021. Carrying the slogan “Yes we can” Papua succeeded in mesmerizing millions of Indonesians through this grand sporting event.

It was a great honour for PTFI to contribute to the sports week by being its prime supporter. The pride of Papua’s community was also the pride of all of us at PTFI.

In 2021, we also officially inaugurated a copper smelter project in the Special Economic Zone of JIIPE, Gresik, East Java. Present at the event was Indonesia’s President, Joko Widodo, who also inaugurated the project.

Once in operation, PTFI’s smelter in the JIIPE will become the largest single line smelter in the world. The presence of the new copper smelter will also support the industrial downstream program in Indonesia.

In terms of mining activitie we are currently operating the underground mine, the largest in the world, in the midst of challenging natural conditions. And in order to ascertain that our mining activities are operating safely and productively we are applying the latest technology to the operation of the mine. We all deserve to be proud in saying this world class mine is managed by the nation’s best sons and daughters who come from all corners of the archipelago.

It is in this underground mine that PTFI produces copper, a metal of the future that plays an important role in modern and in future life. To enable this world to move forward in a green energy and friendly environment copper will play a very important role.

 

PTFI is Our Home

I would like to take this opportunity to express to all Freeporters who have shown their dedication especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is because of your hard work that our company has been able to maintain its good performance while at the same time upholding the health aspect of our employee.

I will never grow weary to remind you to always comply with health protocols and abide by our safety rules while working. Because to the company there is nothing else more important than having healthy and safe employees on board.

Tony Wenas, President Director PT Freeport Indonesia.
