BHP lays down goals to cut own emissions by 30 pct by FY2030

MELBOURNE - BHP Group will focus on cutting its operational emissions by 30 per cent by the 2030 financial year from 2020 levels, and will link executive bonuses to its progress, its chief executive said in a climate strategy update on Thursday .

"Unfortunately, today the world is not currently on track... The world will need to increase action if it is to achieve the ambitions of Paris." "We expect our actions to catalyse broader emissions reductions throughout the steel and maritime sectors," Mr Henry said, adding that 10 per cent of short-term incentives for the executive leadership team will be linked to the firm's climate change progress.

"BHP has set the bar for its diversified mining competitors," its executive director Julien Vincent said, pointing to Rio Tinto's target to reduce its operational emissions to 15 per cent below 2018 levels by 2030.
