BHP CEO Andrew Mackenzie has revealed that the resources group will set targets for its so-called scope 3 carbon emissions as part of a broader strategy to reduce its impact on the environment. He says BHP must take a "product stewardship role" with regard to the emissions across its supply chain, including the emissions generated by the buyers of its commodities. Mackenzie also announced that BHP will spend some $US400m on a climate investment program that will aim to decarbonise its global operations.
