Since many of the allegations against Freeport in the past have included environmental destruction, it is interesting that the environment does not form part of what the company wants to address in this report [recently published human rights audit by International Center for Corporate Accountability of Freeport-McMoRan & Freeport Indonesia's West Papua mining operations]...because in a location such as this the environment is actually inextricably linked to human rights... [also critiques methodology of audit & Freeport's response] Of course the report reveals problems that should have been fixed by Freeport, but the company now plans to examine the gaps and further improve its human rights record. Freeport is now doing what many human rights organisations are suggesting that all large businesses exposed to human rights risks should do: Have a clear system for dealing with human rights issues and periodically audit that system, reporting results honestly and publicly... Others should now be prepared to follow suit. [also refers to Rio Tinto]
