Bhp's reported carbon emissions
BHP, a major player in the aluminium and aluminium products industry headquartered in Australia, has reported significant carbon emissions across its operations. For the fiscal year 2025, BHP's total global emissions were approximately 46.32 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 7.4 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1.3 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions reaching around 37.82 billion kg CO2e. This figure for Scope 3 is largely driven by the use of sold products and their processing.
Looking at previous years, BHP's total emissions for fiscal year 2024 stood at approximately 47.72 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 8.1 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1.9 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 37.77 billion kg CO2e. In fiscal year 2023, total emissions were around 46.7 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 of 8 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 of 1.9 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 of approximately 37.08 billion kg CO2e. The company's total emissions for fiscal year 2022 were approximately 413.2 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 9.1 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 3.1 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at 401.9 billion kg CO2e.
BHP has established ambitious climate commitments, including a long-term goal to achieve net-zero operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. This commitment covers Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from its operated assets. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce operational GHG emissions by at least 30% from FY2020 levels by FY2030. BHP is also pursuing a long-term goal of net-zero Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050, acknowledging the inherent challenges and the need for collaborative efforts with customers and suppliers to achieve this significant objective, particularly within the steelmaking sector and for BHP-chartered shipping. As part of its near-term strategy, BHP committed to reducing its Scope 2 emissions by 30% from a 2020 baseline by 2030 and aims to bring its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade.
