BHP climate change briefing

BHP today provided an update on its progress on climate action, new climate commitments, and how it integrates climate change into corporate strategy and portfolio decisions.

BHP’s climate change approach focuses on reducing operational greenhouse gas emissions, investing in low emissions technologies, promoting product stewardship, managing climate-related risk and opportunity, and partnering with others to enhance the global policy and market response.

BHP supports the aim of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.

BHP has been active in addressing climate risks for more than two decades, and has already established its long-term goal of achieving net zero operational (Scope 1 and 2) emissions by 2050 and its short-term target of maintaining operational emissions at or below adjusted FY2017 levels by FY2022, using carbon offsets as required.

In the past year, BHP has made good progress. The Escondida and Spence copper mines in Chile will move to 100 per cent renewable energy by the mid-2020s, and last week BHP awarded a new renewable energy contract for its Queensland Coal assets, and the world’s first LNG-fuelled Newcastlemax bulk carrier tender.

BHP’s climate change briefing and 2020 climate change report, also published today, outline how the company will accelerate its own actions and help others to do the same. Today’s update sets out:

• A medium-term target to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions by at least 30 per cent from adjusted FY2020 levels by FY2030, using carbon offsets as required.

• Scope 3 actions to contribute to decarbonisation in our value chain.

• Strengthened linking of executive remuneration to delivery of BHP’s climate plan.

• Insight into the performance of BHP’s portfolio in a transition to a 1.5°C scenario.

BHP Chief Executive Officer, Mike Henry, said: “I’m pleased today to show how we are accelerating our own actions and helping others to do the same in addressing climate change. We see ourselves as accountable to take action. We recognise that our investors, our people and the communities and nations who host our operations or buy our products have increasing expectations of us – and are responsive to these.

“Our approach to climate change is defined by a number of key requirements. Our actions must be of substance. They must be real, tangible actions to drive emissions down. We must focus on what we can control inside our business, and work with others to help them reduce emissions from the things that they control. To create long-term value and returns over generations, we must continue to generate value and returns within the strong portfolio we have today, while shaping our portfolio over time to benefit from the megatrends playing out in the world including decarbonisation and electrification.

“Our portfolio is well positioned to support the transition to a lower carbon world aligned with the Paris Agreement. It includes commodities that are essential for global economic growth and the world’s ability to transition to, and thrive in, a low carbon future. Climate change action makes good economic sense for BHP and enables us to create further value.”

Footnotes 1. Slide 7: To stay within a carbon budget that keeps global warming to no more than 1.5°C, the 1.5°C scenario requires steep global annual emissions reductions, sustained for decades. This pathway to 2050 represents a major departure from today’s global trajectory. 2. Slide 8: FY2020 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. 3. Slide 12&13: Scenarios were developed prior to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore any possible effects of the pandemic were not considered in the modelling. 4. Slide 13: Represents combined global energy demand for metallurgical coal and thermal coal. 5. Slide 13: The UN Food and Agriculture Organization reports that 14,200 km2 of forest was converted for other use over 2018-19. 2050 figure includes land converted for afforestation from 2020-50 (~4.3 million km2). 6. Slide 14: Iron ore and metallurgical coal demand based on Contestable Market (Global seaborne market plus Chinese domestic demand). 7. Slide 14: Nickel and copper demand references primary metal 8. Slide 14: Nuclear power was used as a proxy for historic and future cumulative demand for uranium. 9. Slide 14: Our Planning Ranges reflect our deterministic view of future outcomes for commodity demand. The low and high end of the range are constructed to be both plausible and challenging, with the balance of risks around these boundary cases necessarily skewed back towards the body of the range. 10. Slide 16: Nickel curve normalised to single finished end product. End use application may impact relative intensities. 11. Slide 16: Petroleum chart represents corporate emissions intensity of select individual petroleum producers accounting for ~35% of total production but is considered a representative sample of the broader industry. 12. Slide 16: Select scope 3 emissions included to aid comparability. Met Coal includes Freight + Port, Iron Ore includes Freight + Port, Copper includes Freight + Downstream, and Nickel includes Freight + Port + Ocean + Downstream. 13. Slide 20: Emissions forecast range includes growth projects highlighting the targeted reduction in absolute emissions. 14. Slide 20: Renewable power agreements refer to power agreements coming into effect at our Escondida and Spence copper assets in Chile, and a power purchasing agreement to supply 50% of our electricity needs across our Queensland Coal mines. 15. Slide 20: FY2020 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. 16. Slide 22: Power prices reflect annual public electricity prices and do not represent the specific PPA pricing. Stated power prices excludes other costs such as system charges and tolling fees. 17. Slide 22: A firm PPA agreement with CleanCo has been entered to meet 50% of Queensland Coal’s electricity needs. Of this portion, newly operational solar and wind farms are expected to progressively contribute up to half, which is supported by CleanCo’s low emissions portfolio. Combined with large-scale generation certificates, this will enable BHP to reduce Scope 2 emissions from its Queensland operations by 50% by 2025, based on FY2020 levels. 10 September 2020 Climate change briefing 39 BHP

Appendix footnotes 1. Slide 31: FY2019 presented on a total operations basis, except for operational GHG emissions, fresh water withdrawals and local procurement spend. 2. Slide 31: Operational GHG emissions have been revised subsequent to the FY2019 annual report following an HSE data audit, resulting in an improvement to emissions reporting methodology for our operated assets in Chile; previously reported as 14.2 Mt CO2-e. 3. Slide 31: 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. In FY2017, our operational GHG emissions were 14.6 Mt CO2-e (excluding Onshore US). Greenhouse gas emissions are subject to final sustainability assurance review. 4. Slide 31: FY2020 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. 5. Slide 31: In FY2017, our fresh water withdrawals were 156.1 GL (on an adjusted basis, excluding Onshore US). 6. Slide 31: Work is underway to establish mid-term targets for Indigenous workforce participation in Australia and Chile. 7. Slide 33: Present value of unlevered free cash flows. Data in this chart is based on our current portfolio and does not include any potential future divestments. 8. Slide 34: Scope 1 and 2 emissions have been calculated based on an operational control approach in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas 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 FY2015 to FY2016 should be made with consideration of the divestment of South32 during FY2015 (FY2015 data excludes emissions from South32 operations between the date of the divestment and 30 June 2015). Data over the period FY2017 to FY2019 is displayed with Onshore US emissions shown separately for comparability (12 months of emissions in FY2017 and FY2018, and four months of emissions in FY2019 prior to divestment of this asset). 9. Slide 34: Represents the net present (benefit)/cost per tonne of carbon abated based on discounted net cash flows associated with individual decarbonisation projects and is stated in BHP equity terms. 10. Slide 34: Analysis should be considered indicative and remains subject to ongoing studies to confirm associated costs and benefits of individual projects. . 11. Slide 35: Scope 1 refers to direct GHG emissions from operated assets. 12. Slide 35: Scope 2 refers to indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heat or cooling that is consumed by operated assets. Our Scope 2 emissions have been calculated using the market-based method using supplier specific emissions factors, in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Scope 2 Guidance unless otherwise specified. A residual mix is currently unavailable to account for voluntary purchases and this may result in double counting between electricity consumers. 13. Slide 35: The FY2006 baseline was adjusted as necessary for material acquisitions and divestments based on GHG emissions at the time of the applicable transaction. This was the baseline for our prior five-year GHG emission reduction target. 14. Slide 35: FY2017 is the base year for our current five-year GHG emissions reduction target, which took effect from FY2018. The FY2017 baseline has been adjusted for the divestment of our Onshore US assets to ensure ongoing comparability of performance. The baseline will continue to 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. 15. Slide 36: Scope 3 emissions have been calculated using methodologies consistent with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard. Scope 3 emissions reporting necessarily requires a degree of overlap in reporting boundaries due to our involvement at multiple points in the life cycle of the commodities we produce and consume. A significant example of this is that Scope 3 emissions reported under the ‘Processing of sold products’ category include the processing of our iron ore to steel. This third party activity also consumes metallurgical coal as an input, a portion of which is produced by us. For reporting purposes, we account for Scope 3 emissions from combustion of metallurgical coal with all other fossil fuels under the ‘Use of sold products’ category, such that a portion of metallurgical coal emissions is accounted for under two categories. This is an expected outcome of emissions reporting between the different scopes defined under standard GHG accounting practices and is not considered to detract from the overall value of our Scope 3 emissions disclosure. This double counting means that the emissions reported under each category should not be added up, as to do so would give an inflated total figure. For this reason we do not report a total Scope 3 emissions figure. We have included lower-end estimates of the Scope 3 emissions from the combustion of metallurgical coal that avoids the double counting of the emissions arising from iron and steel production. The lower-end estimates are reflected in the Iron ore processing emissions and Metallurgical coal emissions on the graph. Further details of the calculation methodologies, assumptions and key references used in the preparation of our Scope 3 emissions data can be found in the associated BHP Scope 1, 2 and 3 Emissions Calculation Methodology is available online at bhp.com/climate. 16. Slide 36: Includes product transport where freight costs are covered by BHP, for example under Cost and Freight (CFR) or similar terms, as well as purchased transport services for process inputs to our operations. 17. Slide 36: Product transport where freight costs are not covered by BHP, for example under Free on Board (FOB) or similar terms. 18. Slide 36: Includes Business Travel, Employee commuting Fuel and energy related activities and Investments categories. Investment category for BHP, covers the Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions (on an equity basis) from our assets that are owned as a joint venture but not operated by BHP. 19. Slide 36: All iron ore production is assumed to be processed into steel and all copper metal production is assumed to be processed into copper wire for end use. Processing of nickel, zinc, gold, silver, ethane and uranium oxide is not currently included, as production volumes are much lower than iron ore and copper and a large range of possible end uses apply. Processing/refining of petroleum products is also excluded as these emissions are considered immaterial compared to the end-use product combustion reported in the ‘Use of sold products’ category. 20. Slide 36: Scope 3 emissions reported under the ‘Processing of sold products’ category include the processing of our iron ore to steel. This third party activity also consumes metallurgical coal as an input, a portion of which is produced by us. For the higher-end estimate, we account for Scope 3 emissions from combustion of metallurgical coal with all other fossil fuels under the ‘Use of sold products’ category, such that a portion of metallurgical coal emissions is accounted for under two categories. The low-end estimate apportions the emission factor for steel between iron ore and metallurgical coal inputs. The low-end estimate for iron ore only accounts for BHP’s Scope 3 emissions from iron ore and does not account for BHP’s or third party coal used in the steelmaking process. Scope 3 emissions from BHP’s coal are captured in the ‘Use of sold products’ category under metallurgical coal. 21. Slide 36: All crude oil and condensates are conservatively assumed to be refined and combusted as diesel. Energy coal, Natural gas and Natural gas liquids are assumed to be combusted. 10 September 2020 Climate change briefing 40 BHP
