Through these successful participants, the Copper Mark has achieved an important milestone of awarding over 20 sites with the Copper Mark standard.

“We are delighted to be able to award the Copper Mark to these new sites from our long-standing partner Freeport McMoRan, as well as our newer partners Anglo American and Teck Resources. This brings the overall number of Copper Mark-awarded sites to 24, which together produce over 15% of global copper. This is a significant milestone for The Copper Mark, as it demonstrates the growing commitment of stakeholders from all parts of the copper value chain to support and promote responsible production practises.”
