BHP

Do What's Right is an important BHP value.

There might be several reasons why things aren’t quite right. If you are experiencing an interpersonal conflict, then a discussion with the other person might resolve this. If this isn’t quite right, then your leader may be able to help you find a resolution.

Sometimes the behaviour of our employees, contractors or leaders may fall short of the expectations in Our Code of Conduct. When this happens, if you are a member of our workforce, you can raise your concern with a leader.

If raising your concern with a leader isn’t right for you, there are two additional ways you can raise your concern. Where you choose one of these pathways, your concern will be reviewed by our Ethics & Investigation team. This page and Our Frequently Asked Questions provide information to help you choose the right resolution for you.

However you choose to resolve or report a matter, BHP has no tolerance for retaliation and will support you.

Where raising an issue with a leader isn’t right for you, and the incident concerns behaviour that doesn’t meet our commitments under the Code (for example harassment, bullying, inappropriate comments, or improper supplier relationships), you might choose to report the matter via Integrity@BHP.

When you raise a concern via Integrity@BHP your matter is dealt with sensitively and respecting confidentiality. It will be assessed by our Ethics & Investigations team and an appropriate response implemented. This may be a formal investigation, training, line leader conversation or another response by BHP.

Reports to Integrity@BHP are not treated as Protected Disclosures under the Australian Corporations Act or other Australian whistleblowing laws, and so if you would like to make a Protected Disclosure you can find out more below.

Leaders should also make reports via Integrity@BHP for matters that have been reported to them, unless they are an eligible recipient.

Any behaviour that breaches Our Code can be reported via Integrity@BHP and it will be reviewed by our Ethics & Investigations team. Alternatively, if you wish to make a Protected Disclosure under the Australian Corporations Act or other Australian whistleblowing laws you can find more information below.

If you would like to make a Protected Disclosure to report:

  • misconduct or an improper state of affairs in relation to BHP or BHP’s tax affairs; or
  • retaliation or a threat of retaliation,

you can make your protected disclosure via the BHP Protected Disclosure Reporting Channel, or through our reporting hotlines, or to any eligible recipient.

Our Whistleblower Policy sets out further examples of matters that can be raised through this avenue and other important information about making a Protected Disclosure, including the protections in relation to your identity that apply when reporting using this avenue. If you prefer to do so you can choose to use this avenue to report information that might otherwise be escalated through Integrity@BHP. Reports to an eligible recipient or those reported via the BHP Protected Disclosure Reporting Channel will be treated as Protected Disclosures where they meet the requirements of the Australian Corporations Act or other whistleblowing laws. Reports can be made anonymously, and you can seek information from the Ethics & Investigation team if you would like more information before making a disclosure.

If you misplace your report key or password, a new one cannot be provided. This is to protect the security of all reports received. We encourage you to lodge another report, noting it is in relation to your prior report. This enables you to receive and provide ongoing communication via the follow ups mechanism of the new report.
