10 BHP Foundation

Our To deliver on our purpose and contribute

to addressing the scale of these critical
sustainable development challenges
we work in partnership with some of the
Portfolio world’s most innovative and impactful
non-government organizations,
international institutions and think-tanks
to find new solutions and set new
standards for the future.
We have taken a deliberate decision
to strive to operate at the catalytic end
of the philanthropic operating spectrum.
We invest in long-term, innovative and,
potentially game-changing projects
which, if successful, can be transformative,
sustainable, scalable and ultimately
mainstreamed.

Globally we focus on the governance of
natural resources, environmental resilience
and ensuring everyone has access to, builds
agency for and can thrive from a quality
education. At a country level our programs
in Australia, Chile, Canada and the United
States complement our global efforts to
improve long-term economic, social and
environmental sustainability at a national
level. We have invested in a portfolio of
projects that have the power to drive large-
scale systemic change.
‘If we are to drive impactful
positive change, radical new
approaches are essential.
And the only way sustainable
change can be achieved is by
collaboration. All sectors must
lean in to take collective action
to solve societal challenges.’
