The BHP files: World’s biggest miner BHP backtracks on climate action with key projects put on ice, leaked documents reveal
Leaked internal documents dubbed the BHP files, obtained by The Guardian and ABC's Four Corners, reveal that global mining giant BHP has delayed or shelved key decarbonization projects for its Western Australian Pilbara iron ore operations, pushing most meaningful climate investment to the 2030s or later despite public emissions reduction targets and overwhelming shareholder support for urgent climate action. BHP cites unready decarbonization technology for the delays, while climate experts and advocacy groups warn the inaction risks Australia's 2030 national emissions reduction targets.
