In 2025, BHP Group reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, BHP Group reported 378,200,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of BHP Group includes a breakdown across 8 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, BHP Group reported total Scope 3 emissions of 378,200,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 2.48% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 97.52% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, BHP Group's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 12.27%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), BHP Group's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that BHP Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, BHP Group reported emissions for 8 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to BHP Group's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, BHP Group reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 7,300,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 51,262 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 142.41 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, BHP Group reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 142.41 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 205, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, BHP Group ranked 10 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
BHP Group is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, BHP Group reported a total carbon footprint of 388,600,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 0.23% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to BHP Group's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 97.32% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 1.88%.a
