Bhp's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, BHP reported total carbon emissions of approximately 386.4 billion kg CO2e, comprising 7.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1.3 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 378.2 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, with all three scopes disclosed. BHP has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero operational greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes by 2050. This long-term goal aligns with the Paris Agreement and includes specific near-term targets, such as reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030. Additionally, BHP is pursuing a long-term goal of net-zero Scope 3 emissions by 2050, acknowledging the complexities involved in achieving this target, particularly in the steelmaking sector. The company has made significant strides in emissions reduction, with a medium-term target to cut operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by at least 30% from FY2020 levels by FY2030. BHP's commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated through its ongoing efforts to enhance its emissions calculation methodologies and improve data accuracy over time.
