Around the world, the copper industry contributes toward job and wealth creation, poverty reduction and a more sustainable, Better Economy.

• Copper promotes employment in both local and regional communities, where job markets are often limited. The industry creates jobs downstream of the mining sector for a wide range of skilled workers, such as plumbers, electricians, automotive workers and electronic equipment manufacturers.
• Copper helps to keep energy prices low by reducing losses and increasing energy efficiency. Copper’s use as a sustainable material is widely applied across the energy, transportation and green building sectors.
• Copper’s life cycle is a compelling example of the circular economy: once extracted, copper can be infinitely recycled and reused over and over again.
