Leaked documents show Australia's richest company quietly shelved plans to go green

Mining giant BHP quietly shelved billions of dollars of green projects despite promising the public it was committed to cutting emissions, and telling its board climate action was "urgent" and any delays would "risk" its reputation.

Hundreds of pages of internal BHP documents, exclusively leaked to Four Corners and Guardian Australia, reveal how the company sought to publicly position itself as a climate leader while internally finding reasons to put off action.

The documents focus on BHP's iron ore operations in the Pilbara, which made $US14.4 billion ($22 billion) in pre-tax profits last financial year, are the backbone of the company and helped make BHP the world's largest miner. Those WA mines account for more than a third of its Australian emissions.

The world’s biggest miner has halted or delayed projects to cut vast amounts of emissions and has quietly war-gamed options to push major climate investments in its Western Australian iron ore operations into the next two decades, internal documents show.

An exclusive investigation based on documents leaked to the Guardian and the ABC’s Four Corners can reveal that BHP, one of Australia’s biggest historic emitters, has dumped plans for a facility that could have significantly reduced emissions and has put on ice renewable projects designed to power its iron ore operations in the vast, resource-rich Pilbara region.
