A global diversified miner, predominantly in iron ore but also copper, aluminium, diamonds, gold, and industrial minerals. In 2020, Rio Tinto destroyed Aboriginal 46,000-year-old sacred sites at an iron mine in Western Australia, leaving a considerable and irrepairable impact on the traditional owners. Also a pattern of harmful community-related incidents in West Papua, South Africa, Canada, the US and Serbia.

This is the largest pollution incident ever recorded and devastated communities and the ecosystem. BHP also mines thermal coal. While it sold some coal mines, it will continue to operate the Mt Arthur mine in New South Wales until 2030.

It is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
