BHP

BHP Group Limited is one of the world's largest global resources companies, engaged in the exploration, development, and production of oil, gas, copper, iron ore, coal, nickel, and potash. The company operates large-scale, long-life, low-cost mines and petroleum assets in Australia, the Americas, and globally. BHP's portfolio includes the massive iron ore operations in Western Australia's Pilbara region, world-class copper mines in Chile, metallurgical coal in Australia, and petroleum assets. Founded through the 2001 merger of BHP and Billiton, the company has origins dating to 1885. Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, BHP serves steel, construction, energy, and other industrial customers worldwide. The company has simplified its portfolio by exiting petroleum and focusing on future-facing commodities for electrification and decarbonization including copper, nickel, and potash. BHP maintains strong balance sheet, operational excellence, and disciplined capital allocation including consistent dividends and buybacks. The company faces commodity price volatility, geopolitical risks, environmental challenges, and energy transition pressures. BHP continues to invest in decarbonization, operational efficiency, and growth in commodities essential for global development.
