PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI is committed to continue to generate the best contribution to Indonesia, in particular Papua Land. One form of said contribution is implemented through development of Papua’s human resources by means of education, career opportunities, and also local economic empowerment.
Chairman of the Board and CEO of Freeport McMoRan (FCX), Richard C Adkerson, said that since 1996 most of the PT Freeport Indonesia employees are Papuan nationals. Based on PT Freeport Indonesia records, as of June 2022, the company’s number of employees stands at 6.001 people. Meanwhile, 41.36 percent or 2.482 of all said employees are ethnic Papuans.
Meanwhile, those who are non-Papuans were recorded to be as many as 3.368 people, or 56.12 percent of the total number of employees. The remaining are foreign/expatriate employees numbering 151 people, or 2.52 percent out of the total available units/outlets.
“Since I authorized the year 1996 policy, said number has continued to increase and we shall continue to multiply the number of ethnic Papuan employees. PT Freeport Indonesia wholly supports and is assisted by the presence of the Papuan nationals whose peers contribute greatly to the company, both those who are in the operational lines, as well as strategic management positions at PT Freeport Indonesia,” stated Richard when delivering a scientific oration at the Cenderawasih University, Jayapura, Papua, Friday (10/7).
Richard explained that the recent added value of Freeport’s mining activities has also experienced significant increase for the welfare of the local, or adat/traditional community in the vicinity of the operation, or jobsite, and the Indonesian people at large. Said added value becomes even greater through the operational expansion which is manifested in the downstream process, as well as underground mining.
In addition, since longtime, awarding scholarships has become PT Freeport Indonesia’s commitment as part of efforts to advance national education. Each year, PT Freeport Indonesia allots between 1.000 to 1.500 scholarships. To date, PT Freeport Indonesia has provided over 12.000 scholarships.
Be this (in the form of) scholarships, support in the form of infrastructure, as well as other support to ensure that the education provided may be enjoyed firstly by the community where we operate, the Papuan community, and furthermore a wider community, thus stated Richard.
Since 1992, PT Freeport Indonesia has contributed up to US$1.9 billion to support development at large, and development of the community in Papua and other regions in Indonesia. Providing scholarships represents one of the strategies to drive, or encourage Papuan students and educated groups/entities to participate in playing a meaningful role in terms of developing Papua, first and foremost in the industry’s downstream process.
