BHP seeks meaningful long-term relationships that respect local cultures. Where we can, we employ local people and purchase local goods and services through our supply chains, and we contribute to broader regional and national economies by paying taxes and royalties. We aim to support the development of diversified and resilient local communities and economies and contribute to quality-of-life improvements that continue beyond the life of our operated assets.
