Definitions and Examples
Operational Energy Consumption
Definition: The total amount of energy consumed by BHP operations from fuel combustion and electricity use.
Example: In FY2023, BHP's total energy consumption was 145.3 petajoules (PJ).
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Definition: Emissions measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂-e), categorized into Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased electricity), and Scope 3 (other indirect emissions).
Example: In FY2023, BHP reported 10.5 MtCO₂-e for Scope 1 emissions.
Water Usage
Definition: The total volume of water withdrawn and consumed by BHP operations, measured in gigaliters (GL).
Example: BHP's water consumption in FY2023 was 115 GL.
Biodiversity and Land Management
Definition: The area of land BHP owns, leases, or manages, and the percentage of this land that is disturbed for mining activities.
Example: BHP managed 6.5 million hectares of land in FY2023, with 2.1% disturbed for operations.
Waste Management
Definition: The total amount of waste produced and managed by BHP operations.
Example: In FY2023, BHP reported improvements in waste reduction strategies, though specific waste figures were not detailed in the given sections.
