The purpose of the briefing is to provide detail on how social value underpins BHP’s strategy, how it plays an important role in decision making and how it can drive better outcomes for all BHP stakeholders. This briefing follows, and builds on, our Capital Allocation briefing in November 2018 and Strategy briefing in May 2019. BHP Chief External Affairs Officer, Geoff Healy, says: “We are moving from a position of maintaining ‘a social licence’ to creating ‘social value’. “For us, it is – plain and simple – good business. We are part of a society that expects more of us. We recognise that our success depends on our ability to earn their trust and confidence. And we know that this means changing the way we do business at all levels, from local to global. “When we make business decisions, both financial value and social value considerations come into play – each depends on the other for the decision to be effective. “If we get this right, we firmly believe we will win access to the best talent, resources and markets, and set ourselves up to deliver a sustained competitive advantage.” The presentation is available on BHP’s website at: https://www.bhp.com/media-and-insights/reports-and-presentations/2019/10/social- value-briefing Further information on BHP can be found at: bhp.com Media Relations Investor Relations Email: media.relations@bhp.com Email: investor.relations@bhp.com Australia and Asia Australia and Asia Gabrielle Notley Tara Dines Tel: +61 3 9609 3830 Mobile: +61 411 071 715 Tel: +61 3 9609 2222 Mobile: + 61 499 249 005 Europe, Middle East and Africa Europe, Middle East and Africa Neil Burrows Elisa Morniroli Tel: +44 20 7802 7484 Mobile: +44 7786 661 Tel: +44 20 7802 7611 Mobile: +44 7825 926 646 683 Americas Americas Cristian Coloma Judy Dane Tel: +1 713 235 8902 Mobile: +1 346 234 8483 Tel: +1 713 961 8283 Mobile: +1 713 299 5342 BHP Group Limited ABN 49 004 028 077 BHP Group plc Registration number 3196209 LEI WZE1WSENV6JSZFK0JC28 LEI 549300C116EOWV835768 Registered in Australia Registered in England and Wales Registered Office: Level 18, 171 Collins Street Registered Office: Nova South, 160 Victoria Street Melbourne Victoria 3000 Australia London SW1E 5LB United Kingdom Tel +61 1300 55 4757 Fax +61 3 9609 3015 Tel +44 20 7802 4000 Fax +44 20 7802 4111 Members of the BHP Group which is headquartered in Australia Follow us on social media Date: 08/10/2019 02:59:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.
