BHP Group is a leading global resources company engaged in the exploration, development and production of a range of minerals and energy products. With operations spanning the full cycle of resource development—from greenfield exploration through to mine planning and asset optimization—the company supplies key raw materials that underpin the steelmaking, energy and high-tech industries.
The company’s portfolio includes iron ore, metallurgical and thermal coal, copper, nickel and potash, as well as petroleum. BHP markets these commodities to a diverse customer base, including steel producers, power generators, industrial manufacturers and chemical companies. It also invests in research and innovation to enhance its operational efficiency, environmental performance and resource recovery.
BHP maintains a global presence, operating major assets in Australia, the Americas and other regions. Its iron ore business centers on the Pilbara region of Western Australia, while copper assets include mines in Chile and the United States. Coal and petroleum operations are located in Australia and North America, and the company continues to explore opportunities in emerging markets across Asia and Africa.
Founded in 1885 as Broken Hill Proprietary Company, BHP has grown through strategic acquisitions and a focus on large-scale, long-life assets. Headquartered in Melbourne, the company is organized to leverage its global scale and technical expertise. Since January 2020, BHP has been led by Chief Executive Officer Mike Henry, under whose leadership it has pursued a streamlined portfolio and committed to sustainability targets across its operations.
