Designated Protected Areas (DPAs) were identified by reference to the World Database on Protected Areas, IUCN Red List of Threatened
Species, and the World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas, which we access via the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT)
through our by Proteus partnership. The result reported is as at 30 June of the year of reporting. Analysis was undertaken utilising ArcGIS
by identifying all tenure that overlaps with, or occurs within 500 metres, a designated protected area (DPA) or key biodiversity area (KBA).
Operated assets were defined as sites for which current, future or historic activities have been undertaken and where a revenue has been
received by BHP for these activities. Exploration activities are not to be included unless future operations have been announced, i.e.
permits have been received from mining operations. ‘Land managed areas’ are included in this assessment. DPAs and KBAs are only
included if they are listed at an international or national level.
Operated assets owned, leased, managed in, or adjacent to, protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value outside protected areas
Note the following:
• Sites only included that are listed at an international or national level.
• Extractive defined as mining, exploration, closure activities relating to mining, including transportation. Manufacturing/production
includes pastoral activities, refineries and other locations where products are made. Some operated assets may include both,
but for purposes of disclosure refers to the activity that has the highest operational footprint.
• In the Area = The entire operated asset occurs within the DPA/HBVA boundary or the entire DPA/HBVA site occurs within the boundary
of the operated asset. Adjacent to = The operated asset occurs within 500 metres of the boundary. Contains portions of = The operated
asset contains some but not all of the DPA/HBVA site or the DPA/HBVA site contains some but not all of the operated asset.
• Data obtained for this table from the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT).
