Social value
Our purpose is to bring people and resources together to build a better world.
The commodities we produce are essential to everyday life. The benefits they create, and how we do this, underpin our purpose and social value.
Our approach to social value is the right thing to do, differentiates BHP and will create long-term shareholder value
Social value is our positive contribution to society - to our people, partners, the economy, the environment and local communities. It's about creating long-term mutual benefit.
