Australian mining giant BHP will spend $571 million to reduce carbon emissions in its own and their customer’s operations in plans announced on Tuesday.
BHP CEO Andrew Mackenzie says the need for climate action is indisputable and carbon pricing is not enough, with a ‘coordinated global response’ required.
Customers of BHP’s products produced 580 million tonnes of carbon between 2017 and 2018, with the company maintaining long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century.
