Our approach to climate change At BHP • Climate change is a critical, Board-level, governance and strategic issue. • We accept the IPCC’s assessment of climate change science. • We believe the world must pursue the twin objectives to limit climate change and provide access to reliable and affordable energy. • We don’t prioritise one of these objectives over the other – both are essential to sustainable development.

Our actions We are committed to taking action on climate change by: • Reducing our emissions. • Working in partnership to accelerate the development and deployment of low emissions and renewable technologies. • Adapting to the physical impacts of climate change. • Testing and building the resilience of our portfolio. • Working with others to enhance the global response.

Mitigation Greenhouse gas emissions1
Reducing our operational GHG emissions • Previous target performance has been driven by emissions reduction projects and improved productivity. • Our current target is to keep total operational emissions below FY2017 baseline in FY2022. • In addition to our five-year target, we have set the longer-term goal of achieving net-zero operational GHG emissions in the latter half of this century, consistent with the Paris Agreement.
Driving sustainability through strategic partnerships 16 May 2019
1. Scope 1 and 2 emissions have been calculated on an operational control basis in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Includes data for Continuing and Discontinued operations for the financial years being reported. Comparisons of data over the period shown should note the demerger of South32 during FY2015 (data from FY2015 onwards excludes emissions from assets that were demerged with South32 from the date of completion of the demerger (25 May 2015)). 2. Scope 1 refers to direct GHG emissions from operated assets. 3. Scope 2 refers to indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity and steam that is consumed by operated assets (calculated using the market-based method). 4. FY2017 is the base year for our current five-year GHG emissions reduction target, which took effect from FY2018. The FY2017 baseline will be adjusted for any material acquisitions and divestments based on GHG emissions at the time of the transaction; carbon offsets will be used as required. Note that FY2017 was also the final year of our previous five-year target (which we achieved), which was to keep our absolute emissions below an FY2006 baseline (adjusted for material acquisitions and divestments).

Investing in Low Emissions Technology Our approach • Defining a pathway to net-zero emissions for our long-life assets requires planning for the long term and a deep understanding of the development pathway for low emissions technologies. • Our strategy is to develop emerging and deploy existing technologies that make step-change reductions in GHG emissions, both from our own operations and from the downstream processing and use of our products. • We have a suite of initiatives currently underway aimed at achieving reductions across our major operational emissions sources of electricity, material movement and fugitive emissions.

Investing in Low Emissions Technology Zero-carbon electricity supply •
Emissions from electricity use make up 46* per cent of our operational emissions. This includes both the power we generate ourselves and the power we buy from grids around the world. Our strategy seeks to accelerate the transition to lower carbon sources of electricity while balancing cost, reliability and emissions reductions.
Zero-carbon material movement •
Emissions from fuel and distillate make up 35 per cent of our operational emissions, primarily from the consumption of diesel in the course of material movement (for example haul trucks). Our strategy is to accelerate and de-risk technologies and innovations that can transition operations over time to alternate fuels and greater electrification of mining equipment and mining methods.
Fugitive emissions •
Fugitive methane emissions from our petroleum and coal assets make up 18 per cent of our operational emissions. Our strategy is to pursue innovation in mitigation technologies for these emissions, which are among the most technically and economically challenging to reduce. *Includes Scope 1 emissions from our natural gas-fired power generation as well as Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity.

Low Emissions Technology Light electric vehicles • For the first time, BHP is trialling light electric vehicles at our Olympic Dam operation in South Australia. • We’re committed to reducing the number of people exposed to particulate matter, such as diesel, by 50 per cent and replacing fuel with lithium-ion batteries is just another step in that important journey. • Because we rely on vehicles like this for day-to-day operations, we expect the shift to battery powered, eco-friendly cars will have a significant impact once deployed on a wide scale across our other operations.

IMO shipping emissions Paris Agreement 2015 is to limit global warming to below two degrees Celsius, aiming for 1.5 degrees Celsius, by the end of the century. The IMO translated this to a roadmap for shipping emissions:

*compared to 2008 Driving sustainability through strategic partnerships 16 May 2019
2030 - Innovative reduction mechanisms - Market Based Measures = Carbon pricing - 40% Reduction* per unit of transport
