BHP Billiton’s Australian-listed shares fell by 10.8 per cent in the week ended 13 November 2015, extending the stock’s losses since 1 July to around 25 per cent. The latest sell-off was prompted by the tailings dam disaster at the Samarco iron ore project in Brazil. Principles for Responsible Investment MD Fiona Reynolds argues that Samarco joint venture partners BHP and Vale should respond to the disaster by linking their executive remuneration to the safety records of their mining operations.
