Our Stakeholders
Identifying and engaging stakeholders
BHP Billiton defines key stakeholders as those who are adversely or positively impacted by our operations, those who have an interest in what we do or those who have an influence over what we do.
All BHP Billiton sites are required to identify their key stakeholders and consider their expectations and concerns for all operational activities, across the life cycle of operations. Sites are also required to specifically consider any minority groups (such as Indigenous groups) and any social and cultural factors that may be critical to stakeholder engagement. A regular review process is also a central requirement of stakeholder identification, to ensure that all appropriate groups and individuals are effectively identified and suitably engaged.
Our methods of engagement with the Group's key stakeholders are outlined here.
