About BHP’s Decarbonisation Strategy

The world faces a critical challenge to respond effectively to the risks of climate change. These risks are clear and pressing. Every segment of society – including business, government, investors, scientists and consumers – has a role to play.

BHP has a strategic approach to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to net zero within our operations by 2050 and to work with customers and suppliers to support their own emissions reductions, consistent with the ambition of pursuing net zero in our value chain.

BHP is focused on action to decarbonise and adapt – underpinned by strong partnerships and the investment, development and deployment of a range of technologies.
