BHP Billiton Exploration And Development Report For The Quarter Ended 30 June 2005

Today marks the start of a new era for BHP as Brandon Craig steps into the role of Chief Executive Officer.

BHP is making progress in pursuing lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emission solutions. Electrification is BHP’s preferred pathway for displacing diesel to reduce emissions for our mining operations, but it is also one of the most complex to implement at scale.

BHP has a clear and compelling strategy: to invest in highly attractive and durable commodities; operate world-class tier 1 assets with excellence; offer a distinctive approach to social value; and allocate capital with discipline.
