BHP Group's carbon emissions to rise slightly this year

BHP Group's operational carbon emissions are set for a "small increase" this financial year, an executive said on Wednesday, as the miner said its path to net zero would not be linear and requires overcoming growth and technology challenges.

The world's biggest listed miner remains on track to reach its target of reducing operational greenhouse gas emissions by at least 30% from financial year 2020 levels by 2030, Vice President for Climate Graham Winkelman told an investor briefing.
