Definition and calculation of sustainability performance metrics
For the year-ended 30 June 2021
We use various sustainability performance metrics (SPMs) to reflect our sustainability performance.
The SPMs are externally verified and a copy of the EY assurance statement is available in the BHP Annual Report 2021 section 1.13.16.
This section outlines why we believe the SPMs are useful to the BHP Board, management, investors and other stakeholders, and the methodolog
behind the metrics. A detailed definition and explanation is provided in the below methodology tables for each of our most material SPMs.
All references to section numbers are to sections of the BHP Annual Report 2021, unless otherwise indicated.

dation of our business and we believe supporting the wellbeing of our people and promoting an inclusive and diverse culture are vital for maintaining a competitive advantage. The
pe and turnover are key indicators, which allow the Board, management, investors and other stakeholders to measure and track our near and long-term progress.
Proportional data for average number of employees is based on the average of the number of employees at the last day of each calendar month for a 10-month period from July
to April, which is then used as the average for FY2021.
The number and average number (and percentages) of employees by region shows the weighted average number of employees based on BHP ownership.
Contractor data is collected from internal surveys and our organisation systems and averages for a 10-month period from July 2020 to April 2021, which is then used as the
average for FY2021.
The gender numbers in section 1.12 People and culture are a ‘point in time’ snapshot at 30 June 2021 used in internal management reporting for the purposes of monitoring
progress against our aspirationalal goal of a gender-balanced workforce by the end of FY2025.
There is no significant seasonal variation in employment numbers.
These methodologies have been prepared in accordance with GRI standard 102-8 and GRI standard 405-1.
Data for employee new hires, including by gender, age group and region, is based on the number of employee new hires for a 10-month period from July 2020 through to April
2021 divided by the average number of employees at the last day of each calendar month for the same period, which is then used to calculate a weighted average for FY2021
based on our operated assets. Employee new hires refers to all employment types.
Data for employee turnover, including by gender, age group and region, is based on the number of employee new terminations for a 10-month period from July 2020 through to
April 2021 divided by the average number of employees at the last day of each calendar month for the same period, which is then used to calculate a weighted average for
FY2021 based on our operated assets. Employee new terminations refers to all employment types.

ng additional quality field time to engage our workforce.
TRIF (total recordable injury frequency) is an indicator highlighting broad personal injury trends and refers to the number of recordable injuries per hours worked during the
financial year. TRIF equals the sum of (fatalities + lost-time cases + restricted work cases + medical treatment cases) x 1,000,000 (or 200,000) ÷ actual hours worked. In
accordance with the SASB Metals and Mining Standard we also report TRIF per 200,000 hours worked. BHP adopts the US Government's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) guidelines for the recording and reporting of occupational injury and illnesses. TRIF statistics exclude non-operated assets.
Year-on-year improvement of TRIF is one of our five-year sustainability targets and is one of the indicators used to assess our safety performance.
FY2016 to FY2018 data includes Continuing operations and Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets). FY2019 data includes Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets)
to 28 February 2019 and Continuing operations.
This methodology has been prepared in accordance with GRI standard 403-9 and OSHA guidelines.
High-potential injury (HPI) events refers to the number of recordable injuries and first aid cases where there was the potential for a fatality during the financial year. High-potentia
injury event trends remain a primary focus to assess progress against our most important safety objective – to eliminate fatalities, and provides insight into our performance on
preventing future fatalities.
The basis of calculation for high-potential injuries was revised in FY2020 from event count to injury count as part of a safety reporting methodology improvement.
FY2016 to FY2018 data includes Continuing operations and Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets). FY2019 data includes Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets)
to 28 February 2019 and Continuing operations.
This methodology has been prepared in accordance with GRI standard 403-9.
An occupational illness is an illness that occurs as a consequence of work-related activities or exposure and includes acute or chronic illnesses or diseases, which may be
caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion or direct contact. Illness is determined by reference to the US OSHA Recordkeeping Handbook.
Occupational illness incidence is a lag indicator highlighting broad occupational illness trends and refers to the number of employees that suffer from an occupational illness per
million hours worked during the financial year.
Incidence of occupational illness is used to identify situations where exposure controls were effective (no illness occurrence) and where exposure controls were potentially
ineffective (illness occurs). It also informs priorities for exposure reduction projects.
The data for FY2016 to FY2018 includes Continuing operations and Discontinued operations. FY2019 data includes Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets) to 31 October
2018 and Continuing operations.
The data excludes potentially work-related COVID-19 cases. Refer to Annual Report section 1.13.5 for more information.
This methodology has been prepared in accordance with GRI standard 403-10 and the OSHA Recordkeeping Handbook.
Occupational exposures refers to the number of employees who have potential exposure to an agent in the workplace that exceeds either regulatory or the sometimes stricter
BHP internal occupational exposure limits (OELs). These employees are required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Reported occupational exposure data in all
cases discounts the effect of PPE.
BHP has adopted a five-year sustainability target to reduce by at least 50 per cent (compared to the adjusted FY2017 exposure data) the number of employees exposed to diese
exhaust particulate matter, coal mine dust and silica.
An OEL is the level of exposure to an agent to which it is believed nearly all people may be repeatedly exposed throughout a working life without adverse effect.
The exposure profile is derived through a combination of quantitative exposure measurements and qualitative assessments undertaken by specialist occupational hygienists
consistent with best practice as defined by the American Industrial Hygiene Association. The 95 per cent upper confidence limit of the mean exposure is compared to our OELs.
Where employees are exposed in excess of an OEL:

• exposure controls in accordance with the hierarchy of control must be implemented
• PPE is provided and must be worn
• health surveillance must be undertaken
Quantitative occupational exposure measurements are undertaken to provide assurance that implemented controls remain effective.

nd our contribution as community partners. Our community SPMs allow the Board, management, investors and other stakeholders to track our performance in contributing to social
we operate and monitor our relationships and engagement with this important stakeholder group.
Our voluntary social investment is calculated as 1 per cent of the average of the previous three years’ pre-tax profit. Social investment is our voluntary contribution towards
projects or donations with the primary purpose of contributing to the resilience of the communities where we operate and the environment, aligned with our broader business
priorities. By building common ground through collective impact and partnerships, our social investments will purposefully create social value to strengthen the communities
where we operate, to improve the resilience of the natural environment, and address the strategic priorities of the business. Donations from BHP to the BHP Foundation are
included in the calculation of our 1 per cent target as are the costs of administering our social investment programs. The Sustainability Committee reviews our social investment
spend on a quarterly basis.
Our social investment spend is one of the metrics used to monitor our performance against our commitment to making a contribution to social value and meeting our five-year
sustainability target.
A significant event resulting from BHP operated activities is one with an actual severity rating of four or above, based on our internal severity rating scale (tiered from one to five
by increasing severity) as defined in our mandatory minimum requirements for risk management. A significant community event is an event that could have a serious or severe
impact on the community (including impacts to livelihoods, infrastructure, health, safety, security or cultural heritage) or a substantiated human rights violation.
This metric assists the Board and management in monitoring BHP’s social performance and is one indicator of the health of our relationship with the communities where we
operate.
This methodology has been prepared in accordance with GRI standard 413-2 and GRI standard MM6.
Community complaints refers to a verbal or written notification made directly to a BHP representative by a member of a community relating to an alleged adverse impact on that
community arising from BHP’s activities and/or employee or contractor behaviour. Trends in community complaints are analysed by management every six months and this data
is used as one of the inputs for management to determine whether we are operating within our risk appetite.
This metric assists the Board and management to monitor BHP’s social performance and is one indicator of the health of our relationship with the communities where we operate
This methodology has been prepared in accordance with GRI standard MM7.
ur operations can have significant environmental impacts. Our environmental SPMs allow the Board and management to manage and monitor the inherent risks relating to, and any

adverse impacts including costly environmental liabilities, which hinder our growth and expansion strategies.
Land may refer to sea, lake or river beds if appropriate and includes land for infrastructure to support extractive operations.
Land disturbed includes the total land area at the time of reporting that is physically impacted by the activities of the business that substantially disrupts the pre-existing habitats
and land cover.
Land rehabilitated refers to an area developed into a condition that meets the agreed post-disturbance land use developed in consultation with relevant regulators and other
stakeholders.
Area restored, for the purposes of GRI 304-3, refers to areas that were used during or affected by operational activities, and where remediation measures have either restored th
environment to its original state, or to a state where it has a healthy and functioning ecosystem.
Land managed for conservation is the total area at the time of reporting managed for the purposes of biodiversity conservation only. It includes land that the business has formall
assigned and manages as a compensatory action as well as other land that the business has protected from disturbance activities and manages for conservation.
Land data is calculated as the total land area owned, leased or managed by BHP as at 30 June of the reporting year, expressed as hectares. Data does not include land
managed for rehabilitation or conservation as part of voluntary social investment.
This methodology has been prepared in accordance with GRI standard MM1 and these metrics assist the Board and management in understanding the magnitude of land that is
under direct control of BHP and its operational footprint.
Water withdrawals
The volume of water, in megalitres (ML), received and intended for use by the operated asset from the water environment and/or a third-party supplier. We disclose water
withdrawal in ML by operated asset and source (sea, ground and surface waters and third party) as defined in BHP Annual Report section 4.11.4). Volumes by quality type (as
defined in BHP Annual Report section 4.11.4) are also disclosed. Withdrawal volumes disclosed per annum include rainfall and runoff volumes captured and used during the
reporting year. Rainfall and runoff volumes that have been captured and stored are excluded in withdrawals and will be reported in the future year of use. Withdrawal volumes
also include water entrained (as defined in BHP Annual Report section 4.11.4) in ore. Change in water storage over the annual reporting period is reported separately.
Water withdrawal metrics assist the Board and management in understanding the significance of our water resource use, collectively for the Group and by individual operated
assets, and to assess trends over time. It also helps inform investment in infrastructure to reduce water withdrawals and improve efficiency of water use.
Water discharges
The volume of water, in ML, removed from the operated asset and returned to the environment and/or distributed to a third party. This may include discharge to sea, surface
waters, groundwater seepage or aquifer reinjection. We disclose water discharges in ML by operated asset and destination. Volumes by quality type (as defined in BHP Annual
Report section 4.11.4) are also disclosed.
Water discharge metrics assist the Board and management in understanding the amount of water that operated assets must handle and release in line with water quality
requirements. It also helps inform investment in infrastructure to improve water quality, reduce water withdrawals and improve efficiency of water use.
Water diversions
The volume of water, in ML, that is actively managed by an operated asset but not used for any operational purposes. Diversions are reported as both withdrawals and
discharges and may include:
• flood waters that are discharged to an external surface water body
• dewatering volumes produced by aquifer interception that are reinjected to groundwater or discharged to surface water
• ground or surface water that is removed by or supplied to a third party, such as a community
• water removed as part of accessing crude oil that is returned to the sea without use
• water used for ecosystem irrigation
Withdrawal and discharge diverted water may occur in different annual reporting periods, so in any given annual period there may be a differential between withdrawals and
discharges for diverted water.
Water diversion metrics assist the Board and management in understanding the volumes of water handled by the operated asset. This information assists in forecasting water
management costs and identifying opportunities to reduce them.
Water consumption
The volume of water, in ML, used by the operated asset and not returned to the environment or a third party. We disclose consumption by total consumption and use
(evaporation, entrainment and other as defined in BHP Annual Report section 4.11.4).
Water consumption metrics assist the Board and management in the planning of water supplies and infrastructure for future production, expansions or new projects. The metrics
are also used to identify the areas where we have opportunity to reduce water use.
Water recycled/reused
The volume of water, in ML, that is reused or recycled at an operated asset. Reused water is water that has previously being used at the operated asset that is used again withou
further treatment. Recycled water is water that is reused but is treated before it is used again.
Water recycled/reused metrics assist the Board and management in assessing opportunities to reduce water withdrawals. These metrics assist with comparisons of water
recycling/reuse performance and trends between our operated assets and with peers, which can be used to inform and prioritise reuse and recycling improvements and
technological investments.
Water stress
Water stress is defined as the ability, or lack thereof, to meet human and ecological demand for fresh water consistent with definition provided by the CEO Water Mandate. It is a
broad term which considers a number of physical aspects, including water availability, quality and accessibility. For example, water stress may be considered to be high if water
resources are physically scarce; are not directly suitable for use due to quality constraints; or are not available for access due to regulatory restrictions or a lack of infrastructure.
Water stress contributes to the overall baseline risk profile of a site or location
These methodologies have been prepared in accordance with ICMM A Practical Guide to Consistent Water Reporting for the Mining and Metals Industry (Version 1), GRI
standard 303-3, GRI standard 303-4 and GRI standard 303-5 and these metrics assist the Board and management in understanding the volumes of water that the company
interacts with the and water volume and use efficiency trends over time.
Mineral waste refers to the large quantities of material arising as a result of extractive activities. Non-product materials (overburden) have to be removed to give access to
product-bearing material (ores), which are processed, physically or chemically, to release them from their matrix and convert them into output products and waste products
(tailings, slags, sludges, slimes or other process residues). For minerals waste, the figures represent the total deposited in the reporting year, expressed as kilotonnes (kt).
Mineral waste (hazardous)

Includes the following if classified as hazardous by local legislation:
• mineral waste from raw or intermediate materials that have been processed as part of the production sequence, such as beneficiation, refining and smelting
• tailings, slimes, sludge, residues, slag, fly ash, gypsum, coal rejects
Includes non-hazardous waste co-disposed/mingled with hazardous material. Excludes any hazardous mineral waste that is rehandled to prevent double counting.
Tailings waste (non-hazardous)

Includes tailings, slimes and residue resulting from the processing of ore which is not classified as hazardous by local legislation.
This methodology has been prepared in accordance with GRI standard MM3 and these metrics assist the Board and management in understanding the volumes and types of
waste generated and trends over time.
A significant event resulting from BHP operated activities is one with an actual severity rating of four and above, based on our internal severity rating scale (tiered from one to five
by increasing severity) as defined in our mandatory minimum requirements for risk management. The severity rating considers the nature, extent and duration of the impact and
any corrective actions required to restore ecosystem function.
This metric assists the Board and management in monitoring BHP’s environmental performance and is one indicator of the impacts on the environments where we operate.
mate change may impact BHP in a range of areas. Climate-related risks include the potential physical impacts of acute and chronic risks, and transition risks arising from the
nomy. Our climate change SPMs help us monitor our climate change commitments to manage the risks (threats and opportunities) associated with climate change to BHP, as well as
igations. The SPMs allow the Board, management, investors and other stakeholders to measure BHP’s performance against these commitments.

Note that a Group level total would be less than the summation of operated asset level totals due to a number of species being commonly listed across two or more operated asset level lists.In FY2021, 0.074 km2 of disturbance was associated with exploration activities in Chile, Ecuador, Peru and the United States. As per BHP’s Our Requirements for Environment and Climate Change standard, baseline biodiversity studies were undertaken prior to exploration activities to identify key species and habitats. The mitigation hierarchy was implemented to avoid, minimise and rehabilitate impacts from the activities. Due to the small amount of disturbance over a short time period, species potentially impacted by these activities are not included.The information provided is correct as of 30 June 2021 and is subject to change as more information is obtained about species ranges, habitats and impacts from operated assets.

following TSF disclosure notes.

1. Tailings dam name/identifier 2. Location
In providing the information enclosed, the number of TSFs is based on the Latitude, longitude
definition agreed to by the ICMM Tailings Advisory Group at the original time of
submission and expanded to align with the TSF definition established in the Global
Industry Standard for Tailings Management (GISTM). An increase of five TSFs is
reported since our Church of England submission in 2019 due to the updated BHP
definition of TSF to align with the GISTM. We keep this definition under review.
Island Copper TSF originally disclosed in our Church of England submission in
2019 for the purposes of transparency has been removed as it is not a dam nor
considered a TSF under the GISTM definition of a TSF. Tailings at Island Copper
were deposited in the ocean under an approved licence and environmental impact
assessment. This historic practice ceased in the 1990s. We have since committed
not to dispose of mine waste rock or tailings in river or marine environments. We
continue to conduct environmental effects monitoring.

Average hours of health, safety and emergency response training

Type Average number of hours
Employee 11.45
The number of training hours has been annualised using data from a 10-month period, July to April, to determine a total for the year. Percentages are calculated using the
average of the
number of employees at the last day of each calendar month for the same 10-month period. The training relates to the health, safety, or emergency preparedness of
employees with respect to occupational risks or hazards to which employees are reasonably likely to be exposed as assessed by BHP. This includes training related to
general health and safety behavioral expectations covered in Our Code of Conduct, inductions and general leadership courses.

(1) Calculated based on an operational control approach in line with World Resources Institute/World Business Council for Sustainable Development guidance. Consumption of fuel and
consumption of electricity refers to annual quantity of energy consumed from the combustion of fuel; and the operation of any facility; and energy consumed resulting from the purchase
of electricity, heat, steam or cooling by the company for its own use. Over 99.9 per cent of BHP's energy consumption and operational GHG emissions occurs outside the UK and
offshore area (as defined in the relevant UK reporting regulations). UK energy consumption of 99,762 kWh and GHG emissions of 21 tonnes CO 2-e is associated with electricity
consumption from our office in London. One TWh equals 1,000,000,000 kWh. Data has been rounded to the nearest 1 PJ or 0.1 TWh to be consistent with asset/regional energy
information in this Report.
(2) 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). Unless otherwise noted, FY2017 and FY2018 data includes Continuing operations and Discontinued
operations (Onshore US assets). Unless otherwise noted, FY2019 data includes Continuing operations and Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets) to 31 October 2018.

(1) Scope 1 and 2 GHG 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 GHG 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 GHG 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).
(2) Scope 1 refers to direct GHG emissions from operated assets.

(3) 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 GHG emissions have been calculated using the market-based method using supplier specific emission factors, in line with the
Greenhouse Gas Protocol Scope 2 Guidance unless otherwise specified. A residual mix emission factor is currently unavailable to account for grid electricity
emissions remaining after removal of quantities directly contracted between parties; this may result in double counting of low emissions or renewable
electricity contributions across grid-supplied consumers.
(4) FY2017 is the base year for our current five-year operational 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 the Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions levels for the acquired or divested operation in the baseline
year; carbon offsets will be used as required.
(5) 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 operational GHG emission reduction target.
(6) The FY2020 baseline was adjusted to integrate updates to fugitive emissions from coal assets (total operational GHG emissions restated from 15.8
MtCO2-e to 15.9 MtCO2-e).

indicates that data has been adjusted since it was previously reported. Water restatements are a result of external assurance outcomes and ongoing improvements in data quality.
(2) Land data is calculated as the total land area at the time of reporting.
(3) Data does not include land managed for rehabilitation or conservation as part of social investment.
(4) Material contributor (38,022 ha) includes the Emerald Springs Significant Environment Benefit credit area approved by the South Australian Government.
(5) Data has been rounded to the nearest 10 megalitres to be consistent with asset/regional water information in this Report. In some instances the sum of totals for quality, source and destination may differ due to rounding. All water performance data excludes
Discontinued operations (Onshore US assets, divested in FY2019).
(6) Third party water withdrawals have been reported as a distinct category in FY2021 to align with external reporting frameworks (e.g. GRI/SASB) . These volumes were included under the originating source in prior years.
(7) Data includes rainfall and run-off volumes captured and used during the reporting year; rainfall and run-off volumes that have been captured and stored are excluded and will be reported in the future year of use.
(8) Data for water consumption metrics was collected for the first time in FY2019 across all operations. FY2018 data reflects partial volumes collected from Queensland and NSW Energy Coal, WAIO and Pampa Norte operations only.
(9) Based on the physical risk rating from the WWF Water Risk filter and the definition of water stress in the CEO Water Mandates “Corporate water disclosure guidelines (2014)”.
(10) For tailings related minerals waste these figures represent the total deposited in the reporting year.
(11) Data reported for environmentally significant incidents.
(12) Does not include the dam failure at Samarco, our non-operated minerals joint venture.
(13) Data drawn from Australian NPI and US EPA Emission Factors and represent emissions over CY2021 for all assets except Olympic Dam and US Petroleum, which report emissions for FY2021.
