Bhp's reported carbon emissions
BHP, headquartered in Australia and operating in the Aluminium and aluminium products industry, reported a total of approximately 394.8 billion kg CO2e in emissions for the 2025 reporting year. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.
For the 2024 reporting year, BHP's total emissions were approximately 396.8 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the company reported total emissions of approximately 388.8 billion kg CO2e.
BHP's climate commitments include a long-term goal to achieve net-zero operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. This target covers Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from operated assets. Additionally, BHP aims for net-zero Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050, acknowledging the significant challenges and the need for collaboration with customers and suppliers, particularly in the steelmaking sector.
BHP has also set near-term targets. They are committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 operational GHG emissions by at least 30% from FY2020 levels by FY2030. This target applies to emissions from their operated assets. Further, BHP aims to reduce its Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of the current decade (around 2025). Similarly, they aim to reduce their Scope 1 emissions to near zero by the same timeframe.
Historically, BHP reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 9.1 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3.1 billion kg CO2e (market-based) in 2022. Scope 3 emissions for the same year were approximately 401.9 billion kg CO2e. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were around 10.1 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 6.2 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled about 400.6 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions in 2020 were approximately 9.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 6.3 billion kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at around 412.3 billion kg CO2e. Prior to 2020, Scope 3 emissions were reported at significantly higher levels, for instance, approximately 618 billion kg CO2e in 2016, and Scope 1 and 2 emissions were also substantial, with Scope 1 being around 11.3 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 around 6.7 billion kg CO2e in 2016.
