BHP Annual Report 2025 Chair's review Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to provide BHP's Annual Report for FY2025. It is an honour and a privilege to be your new Chair. Your Board and I are excited about the future of this great company. I want to acknowledge the contribution of my predecessor, Ken MacKenzie, who led the Board as Chair for seven years. I thank Ken for his outstanding service to the Board and BHP during his tenure. Ken leaves a lasting legacy at BHP. In times of global uncertainty, stability and resilience matter. BHP has stood for both for 140 years. What we do matters. The world needs more of the materials we produce to develop, decarbonise and digitalise. BHP has a substantial role to play in producing the vital materials the world needs and in contributing to the success of the global economy. We remain well positioned to meet global demand for the commodities we produce in order to create long-term value for our shareholders, local communities, customers, suppliers and partners. Rewarding shareholders BHP has a simple, clear strategy that is resilient amid any operating environment. Executing this strategy has allowed us to perform well through mining and economic cycles. The company performed strongly in FY2025, generating significant cash flow. Healthy cash returns are important for shareholders, including the hundreds of thousands of retail shareholders who rely on BHP to support their income and retirement. Over the past five years, BHP has delivered more than US$50 billion in cash dividends to our shareholders. Our Capital Allocation Framework (CAF) promotes discipline in all our capital decisions and prioritises capital for safety and maintenance, balance sheet strength and a minimum dividend payout ratio of 50 per cent of underlying attributable profit at every reporting period. For FY2025, your Board determined dividends totalling 110 US cents a share. This represents a total distribution to shareholders of US$5.6 billion, or 55 per cent of the underlying attributable profit for FY2025. Your company is well placed to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world. It is the combination of our outstanding people, world-class assets and execution excellence that creates long-term value for our shareholders and for the communities where we live." Building for the future Our performance allows us to plan for and invest in value adding growth projects. BHP has a strong growth pipeline of organic and greenfield projects in copper, iron ore and potash. Our growth strategy generates greater exposure to commodities that the world needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and as the population grows, continues to urbanise and seeks higher living standards. Continuing to evolve As we have for the past 140 years, we continued to position BHP's portfolio to align to the global trends shaping our future. We have reshaped BHP's portfolio to increase our exposure to future-facing commodities and higher-quality steelmaking materials. Our iron ore business is a critical part of our future and we have extended our lead as the lowest-cost major iron ore producer globally. We have achieved a world-leading position in copper, which is key to renewable energy, electric vehicles and data centres. We are developing a position in potash that will contribute to food security and more sustainable land use. We have focused our steelmaking coal portfolio on higher-quality coals preferred by our customers to produce steel for cities and infrastructure for decarbonisation. Today, we have a portfolio and options for growth that leave us well positioned to provide the commodities the world will need more of in the decades to come. Looking ahead Your company is well placed to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world. It is the combination of our outstanding people, world-class assets and execution excellence that creates long-term value for our shareholders and for the communities where we live. In FY2025, we showed that the consistent execution of our clear and simple strategy delivers results. BHP is an outstanding business in great shape and I am confident we can continue to create value for you, our partners and many other stakeholders in the year ahead and for decades to come. I look forward to meeting you at our Annual General Meeting. Thank you for your continued support. Ross McEwan Chair

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Chief Executive Officer's review Dear Shareholders, In FY2025, we made good progress on strengthening our pipeline of attractive growth options in copper and potash, and delivered another strong year of operational and financial performance. Most importantly, we did so safely. Nothing matters more than the safety of our people. We had no fatalities, and our total recordable injury and high potential injury frequency measures were both lower than the prior year. This improvement has been driven by significant investments in engineering controls through our Fatality Elimination Program, continuous improvement of how leaders support their teams through Field Leadership and the operating discipline delivered through the BHP Operating System. Executing well and delivering on our promises builds trust. Combined with the quality of our assets and the attractiveness of our chosen commodities, this gives us resilience and the foundation for long-term value growth. Mining now in the global spotlight We're seeing an increasing focus on critical minerals supply and supply chain security across the globe. This is happening against a backdrop of growing geopolitical and trade tensions, and reflects a growing understanding and acceptance of the critical role mining will play in supporting national security, energy transitions and technology development. There is also a clearer recognition of the significant economic opportunity that accompanies investment in resources projects. Many resources producing nations are taking aggressive steps to improve competitiveness and to attract global capital to invest in new resource project opportunities. We continue to advocate for policies that drive productivity, encourage investment and spur economic growth. We engage with political leaders, policymakers and industry counterparts regularly, making the case for the settings to unlock resources for the shared benefit of nations, our sector and your company. Creating social value Our approach to social value and sustainability differentiates BHP and is essential to the creation of long-term shareholder value. We're seeing practical challenges affect the pace of the global energy transition, including the development of the necessary technology at competitive cost. BHP's climate commitments remain unchanged and we remain on track to meet our FY2030 operational decarbonisation target. We continue to partner with First Nations and Indigenous peoples around the world. Over 90 per cent of BHP's operations are located on or near the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples – and we seek to build long-term relationships based on trust and mutual benefit. The significant uplift in our spend with Indigenous businesses during the year is a clear demonstration of this. We're focused on building multi-year partnerships that enable Indigenous businesses to secure investment, grow with confidence and build their capability to provide goods and services to large companies like BHP. We have world-leading assets and we operate them well – underpinned by the sustained focus and capability building that comes through the BHP Operating System." A culture and system for high performance Everything we achieve starts with our 90,000 strong workforce. This year we reached our global employee gender balance ambition of 40 per cent female representation early, and improved year-on-year performance against our Indigenous employee participation targets in Australia, Canada and Chile. Our efforts to build a better BHP, with a more inclusive, collaborative and respectful culture, have underpinned this achievement, and contributed to a safer, more productive and more reliable BHP. We have built a track record of operational excellence over recent years, underpinned by the BHP Operating System. In FY2025, we achieved copper production of over 2 million tonnes for the first time – and have lifted copper production by 28 per cent since FY2022. In steelmaking coal, improved operational productivity helped us increase production at BMA, excluding Blackwater and Daunia which were divested in April 2024. At Western Australia Iron Ore, we achieved record production while maintaining our position as the world's lowest cost major iron ore producer, now for the sixth year in a row. Project delivery We are embedding the BHP Operating System in the way we plan and execute our capital projects as well. We recognise that reliable, capital efficient development of assets and infrastructure is critical to enabling our growth and to maximising shareholder returns. On Jansen Stage 1, a combination of inflation and cost escalation, design development and scope changes, and lower productivity on certain aspects of the project have resulted in a revision of our costs for construction. This is disappointing. It is not representative of the performance we have seen on BHP projects more broadly, nor what we aspire to. We're taking steps to improve performance on Jansen Stage 1 and we'll be applying what we learn to strengthen project delivery across the board at BHP. Winning strategy, clear path for growth Our simple, clear strategy drives strong results and long-term value growth. We've reshaped our portfolio in anticipation of the megatrends playing out around us, including our position in copper. A much greater proportion of our EBITDA – 45 per cent in FY2025 – now comes from copper. And we're pursuing more copper growth from our existing assets and through strategic partnerships, including our newly formed Vicuña joint venture which holds copper deposits on the Argentina-Chile border. Through the disciplined application of our Capital Allocation Framework, we seek to sustain our assets, maintain a strong balance sheet and balance attractive shareholder returns and investment in our growth. The quality of our assets and our pipeline of compelling growth prospects gives us added optionality. This allows us to deliberately and strategically choose how we grow value for shareholders. To support our growth, we're putting our strong balance sheet to work. We've optimised our net debt target range to US$10 billion to US$20 billion. This reflects the significant improvement in our operational performance and portfolio since it was last set. A clear future We have world-leading assets and we operate them well – underpinned by the sustained focus and capability building that comes through the BHP Operating System. This allows us to deliver industry-leading margins, high returns and funds for our growth – a unique combination that underpins our strength, consistency and resilience through the cycle. I am confident that BHP is positioned to deliver attractive value and growth for you in the years ahead. Thank you for your continued support. Mike Henry Chief Executive Officer

BHP Annual Report 2025 1 Why BHP 13 August 2025 marked 140 years since seven ordinary people gathered on a small plot of ground at Broken Hill in outback New South Wales, Australia. They had no idea the silver, lead and zinc mine they had established would become one of the world's biggest companies and a global leader in the resources industry, BHP. Since then, BHP has produced many of the vital resources the world needs to grow and develop. Materials integral to what we use and do every day. Over the last 140 years our business has remained steadfastly resilient through mining cycles regardless of what has been happening in the world around us. We have done this by continually evolving our portfolio, by our ongoing drive to be the world's best mining operator and by applying financial discipline to the decisions we make. We have built our business by investing, expanding and reshaping it to meet the changing demands of the world. Providing rewarding jobs and careers for hundreds of thousands of people. Making valuable contributions to the countries, regions and communities where we operate. Rewarding our shareholders with dividends and strong returns. Today, BHP is the world's largest mining company by market capitalisation.1 We have world-leading operations across the globe producing materials vital for a better world. And we are positioned and ready to meet the challenges of the decades to come. How we operate is important The keys to our successful past and exciting future are the same – our people, capabilities, scale, portfolio and, in more recent times, the unique overarching way we work through the BHP Operating System (BOS). BOS differentiates our approach, makes improvement central to everyone's role and provides for sustainable operating excellence year after year. We seek to use our capital carefully and effectively. We operate our assets efficiently. We have an overriding focus on safety. We embrace technology and innovation. We have a clear strategy and proven record of execution against it. We grow value through our large, long-life, quality assets in materials that improve standards of living and support decarbonisation and digitalisation, and through our differentiated focus on social value, which is integral to how we operate. We seek to extract materials as efficiently and effectively as we can while seeking to appropriately manage impacts on the planet. We choose to partner with peers, suppliers and customers where we believe we can innovate or create value together. Our products are vital for a better world Copper, iron ore, steelmaking coal and potash support the pursuit of a very basic human instinct – to improve our lives and those of the generations that come after us. Copper for renewable power, to rewire our energy system and to enable digitalisation. Steelmaking materials to build better, safer and more liveable cities and renewables infrastructure. Potash for food security and more sustainable land use. These are building blocks for a better world. Billions of people seeking higher standards of living is an enduring source of demand for commodities that BHP is proud to play a part in supplying. We have multiple growth options As new large, low-cost ore bodies become harder to find and develop, the scale and quality of our portfolio positions us well. We hold some of the world's largest resources and lowest-cost assets. One of our biggest growth levers is productivity and unlocking more value from the assets we operate. We seek to improve productivity through the capabilities of our people and our culture of continuous improvement, and the use of technology and innovation to extract more from what we do every day. The scale of our assets provides growth options. In copper, we are advancing multiple options in Chile and we are studying growth options at our copper province in South Australia. We are seeking to produce more iron ore in Western Australia. We are working to improve productivity at our steelmaking coal operations in Queensland. We have sanctioned the second stage of our Jansen potash project in Canada, which we believe will double Jansen's expected production capacity once complete. We are always on the lookout for the right opportunities. In the last financial year, we formed the Vicuña joint venture with Canada's Lundin Mining, which holds the Josemaria and Filo del Sol copper deposits on the Argentina-Chile border. The Vicuña joint venture will create a long-term partnership between BHP and Lundin Mining to jointly develop an emerging copper district with world-class potential. The Filo del Sol deposit is one of the largest copper deposit discoveries in the last 30 years. We are a partner with Rio Tinto in the Resolution Copper Project in the United States, which is also one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the world and has the potential to become a significant copper producer in North America. Our focus on social value generates business value Social value is what we call our positive contribution to society. It helps underpin stable operations, reduces risk and opens doors to opportunities, partnerships, talent and capital. It delivers business value. We are proud to have achieved our long-term aspirational goal of gender balance within our employee workforce during FY2025. We define gender balance as a minimum 40 per cent women and 40 per cent men, consistent with the definitions used by entities such as the International Labour Organization. Female employee representation reached 41.3 per cent at financial year end, from 17.6 per cent when we began this journey nine years ago. We are the first global, listed mining company to achieve this milestone, which has not only made BHP a better, more inclusive business for our workforce, it has helped make us a better place to work. A more inclusive culture has underpinned both female representation and better safety and operational performance. We see enormous opportunity before us The opportunity for BHP and what we can contribute for the world is profound. The development, decarbonisation and digitalisation of the globe involve pathways that require a significant increase in production of the key materials we produce. We seek to meet this demand and grow value for our partners and stakeholders, driving attractive returns and long-term value for our shareholders. BHP has been bringing people and resources together to build a better world for the last 140 years. Our resilient business is well positioned to fulfil our aspiration to deliver value for our shareholders and those around us for many more to come. 1.

BHP Annual Report 2025 2 Our business 2.1 Our portfolio A resource mix for today – and for the future We have copper, which is used in electrification and renewable power and is important for digitalisation. We have iron ore, which is essential for making steel needed for construction, including renewables infrastructure. Our higher-quality steelmaking coal is used in the blast furnace process for making steel. We are developing a world-class potash asset. Potash is used in fertilisers to assist with food security for a growing population and more sustainable land use. We are also a major producer of uranium and gold, which are by-products of our copper production. Copper Record group copper production 2.02 Mt 8% on FY2024 We are one of the world's largest copper producers. We continue to pursue our strategy to increase our exposure to copper by effective capital allocation to grow our existing assets and through exploration, acquisition and early-stage options. We are using technical innovation, such as new flotation technology, to help control energy costs and unlock value. Our copper production rose 8 per cent in FY2025 to a record of over 2 million tonnes (Mt). We have grown annual copper production by 28 per cent since FY2022. Escondida in Chile is the world's largest copper mine and achieved its highest production in 17 years. Spence in Chile achieved record production, while in Australia, Copper SA finished the year strongly with copper production records in June and for the second half of the year. In FY2025, we increased our early-stage options in copper by forming the Vicua joint venture with Canada's Lundin Mining to hold the Josemaria and Filo del Sol copper prospects on the Argentina-Chile border. This joint venture provides an exciting opportunity to jointly develop an emerging copper district with world-class potential. Group copper production for FY2026 is expected to remain strong at between 1.8 Mt and 2 Mt on a consolidated basis. As we look ahead to the 2030s, we have a number of projects in execution and under study that we estimate could deliver 2 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of attributable copper production during the decade.1 For more information refer to OFR 6.1 Iron ore Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) is the lowest-cost major iron ore producer globally2 and has one of the lowest greenhouse gas (GHG) emission production intensities of benchmarked iron ore operations.3 WAIO set multiple records in FY2025, including for full-year production of 257 Mt (290 Mt on a 100 per cent basis). South Flank exceeded its name plate capacity production of 80 Mt (100 per cent basis) in its first full year of operation after being delivered on time and on budget in FY2024. The efficiency of our infrastructure hubs continued to strengthen performance, with rail, port and technology investments delivering tangible production outcomes. Production for FY2026 is expected to be between 284 and 296 Mt (100 per cent basis) incorporating the planned renewal of Car Dumper 3 in the first half of FY2026 and the ongoing tie-in activities for the Rail Technology Programme. Production increased by 34 per cent at Samarco in Brazil to 6.4 Mt (12.8 Mt 100 per cent basis) in FY2025 following the ramp up of a second concentrator ahead of schedule. For more information refer to OFR 6.2 1. Represents our current aspiration for BHP group attributable copper production, and not intended to be a projection, forecast or production target and investors should not rely on this aspirational statement when making any investment decisions. The statement is aspirational as it is contingent on potential increases in production rates, as well as potential from non-operated joint ventures and exploration programs (which are uncertain and may not be realised). The pathway is subject to the completion of technical studies to support Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves estimates, capital allocation, regulatory approvals, market capacity and, in certain cases, the development of exploration assets, in which factors are uncertain. 2.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Third-consecutive full-year Steelmaking coal production 263 record Focusing on higher-quality product Mt 18 Mt 1% on FY2024 19% on FY2024 We continue to focus our steelmaking coal operations in Queensland on higher-quality product and have one of the lowest GHG emission production intensities of benchmarked export steelmaking coal mines.3 Excluding the contribution of the Blackwater and Daunia mines, which were divested in FY2024, production increased 5 per cent to 18 Mt in FY2025 (36 Mt 100 per cent basis). Raw coal inventory levels increased 12 per cent. The strong performance was underpinned by improved truck productivity and led to increased production across all open-cut mines. Our focus on rebuilding raw coal inventory enabled us to stabilise operating performance across the asset and increase production despite geotechnical challenges at Broadmeadow and a 36 per cent year-on-year increase in rainfall. Production for FY2026 is expected to increase to between 18 and 20 Mt (36 and 40 Mt on a 100 per cent basis), weighted to the second half, while unit costs are expected to decrease with guidance between US$116/t and US$128/t as we push to further improve productivity. Our focus on improving value chain stability will continue into CY2027 as we continue to rebuild raw coal inventory to sustainable levels and normalising strip ratios. For more information refer to OFR 6.3 Potash Major global 7.0–US producer by the end of the decade US$ $7.4bn Estimated capital expenditure for Jansen Stage 1 We are developing one of the world's largest potash mines in Canada. Jansen will increase our product diversification, customer base and operating footprint, and expand our business into a future growth market. Jansen Stage 1 (JS1) was 68 per cent complete by the end of FY2025. In July 2025, we announced updates relating to the Jansen potash project. We estimate capital expenditure for JS1 to increase from our original estimate of US$5.7 billion to be in the range of US$7.0 billion to US$7.4 billion including contingencies, and first production to revert back to the original schedule of mid-CY2027. We expect to update the market on JS1's timing and optimised capital expenditure estimate in the second half of FY2026. We have decided to extend the execution of JS2 by two years, shifting first production from FY2029 to FY2031, as part of our regular review of capex sequencing under the Capital Allocation Framework. JS2's capital expenditure remains under review and we expect to update the market on JS2's optimised capital expenditure estimate in the second half of FY2026. Jansen is a world-class asset and is expected to have operating costs at the low end of the cost curve when fully ramped up. For more information refer to OFR 6.4 3. For CY2024, the GHG emissions intensity of our production of our commodities is estimated to rank in the first quartile for our iron ore and sitting across first and second quartiles for copper and steelmaking coal mines of global mining operations analysed by CRU. This analysis is based on CY2024 data from CRU (as CRU data is prepared on a calendar year basis) and includes CRU's assumptions and estimates of BHP's operations. For more information on how the GHG emission intensity for our iron ore, and copper, and steelmaking coal mines has been calculated and compared refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 3 Our key differentiators BHP is in the right commodities. We hold great resources. We operate them excellently. And we apply discipline in how we allocate capital. The combination of these factors underpins enduring value creation. They also enable our resilience through the mining cycle. There are many factors that contribute to our business stability, each of which is vital. It's the unique combination of these factors that sets BHP apart. Our people We have more than 90,000 employees and contractors globally.1 We strive to offer an engaging and supportive workplace, which empowers our people to find safer and more productive ways of working. To do this, we provide tools and opportunities in our working environment to allow our people to perform at their best. Our people are empowered daily in their work by the BHP Operating System (BOS). Safety High potential Fatalities injury frequency2 0 0.09 For more information FY2024: 1 18% from FY2024 refer to OFR 8 BHP Operating System BOS is our unique overarching management system that enables the right culture, routines, behaviours and leadership to deliver operating excellence and leading safety performance. It provides us with a competitive edge. BOS drives continuous improvement through the application of BOS tools and practices. It helps strengthen our culture and enables us to set ambitious targets where our people can learn and enjoy what they are doing. It makes improvement central to everyone's role. BOS helps us focus on leadership development, capability and engagement, and creates better-planned, more stable work processes. How BOS works Three principles underpin BOS and guide how we think and behave at BHP. Serve our 1customer We must know who our customer is and be fully committed to meeting their needs – delivering exactly what they need, at the right time and at the appropriate levels of quality and cost. Pursue operating 2perfection Our ambition is 100% safety for our people, 100% value for our customers, 0% wasted expense or effort – our efforts for improvement never stop. Empower 3our people Our people know their work and how to improve it – they are given the right conditions to excel. Social value We are committed to social value and the responsible provision of commodities the world needs to develop, decarbonise and digitise. Social value creates business value. In FY2025, we continued to refine our approach to social value. We have a 2030 social value scorecard to monitor our progress. Each year since first publishing the social value scorecard in June 2022, we have reported performance against key metrics and the milestones for that year and set out new short-term milestones for the next year to demonstrate the pathway to FY2030. For more information on our 2030 social value scorecard refer to OFR 9.4 Financial excellence We use our Capital Allocation Framework (CAF) to assess the most effective and efficient way to deploy capital. Since we last revised our net debt target range in FY2022, our underlying portfolio fundamentals have improved, with materially higher copper production, improved operational stability, an industry-leading cost position at WAIO and lower unit costs at our operated copper assets leading to improved debt service capacity. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we are putting it to work to assist in funding our suite of attractive organic growth projects while we continue to deliver attractive shareholder returns. As a result, we have increased our net debt target range to between US$10 billion and US$20 billion (from between US$5 billion and US$15 billion). Our Capital Allocation Framework Operating productivity Capital productivity Net operating cash flow Maintenance and Strong balance sheet Minimum 50% payout decarbonisation capital ratio dividend Excess cash 50 Balance sheet Additional dividends Buy-backs Organic development Acquisitions/divestments Maximise value and returns Exceptional performance Operating excellence Enabled by BOS, operational excellence underpins strong returns and investment growth. FY2025 was a standout year for BHP, marked by record production, continued sector-leading margins and disciplined capital allocation. We are the world's lowest-cost major iron ore producer and have been for six years, and we have the best track record of delivering production against guidance amongst our competitors. Operating and financial strength The strength of our portfolio, our operating excellence and financial rigour from our disciplined application of the CAF enable us to deliver strong and consistent returns. We achieved net operating cash flow of US$18.7 billion in FY2025. Our net operating cash flow has been more than US$15 billion for all but one of the past 16 years. Over the past decade, our EBITDA margin has averaged 55 per cent and it is approximately 10 percentage points above our closest major competitor. Project excellence Project excellence is a major focus and we continue to build strong capability in this area. We have a disciplined approach to the execution of projects with focus on predictability and efficiency, as shown through our delivery of the South Flank mine and the Port Debottlenecking Project 1 at WAIO, and the Spence Growth Option in Chile. Technology and innovation In FY2025, we launched a refreshed Technology Strategy to accelerate the role of technology as a key enabler of our business. This strategy positions us to harness data, digital solutions and innovation to improve safety, enhance productivity and unlock long-term value across our global operations. Technology supports every part of our value chain – from exploration and processing to production and logistics. We use automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics to manage risk, improve asset performance and support our decision-making. Our systems achieve critical technology service availability nearly 100 per cent of the time, supporting the safe and continuous operation of our operated assets and functions. From a safety perspective, our strategy involves assessing new technologies, such as proximity and edge detection systems on mobile equipment and vehicles. AI is also expected to play an increasingly prominent role in our operations and business. By improving how we use data and digital tools, we aim to shorten innovation cycles, reduce operational variability and accelerate value creation. These efforts are already delivering results in areas such as maintenance optimisation, supply chain planning and frontline safety.

BHP Annual Report 2025 4 Positioning for growth With our clear strategy and focus on creating and sustaining the right portfolio of the best assets with enhanced growth optionality, BHP is well placed to capitalise on the changes shaping our world. Our global copper growth program Our biggest near-term growth levers are improving productivity at our existing assets and unlocking more of their potential. We have significant opportunities in our world-leading copper portfolio. These projects have potential to enable significant total annual copper production through the 2030s. In Chile, we have a strong pipeline of organic growth options with attractive returns across our Escondida and Pampa Norte assets, which we expect will enable copper production in Chile to average ~1.4 Mtpa through the 2030s. In South Australia, we are assessing the pathway to deliver >500 kilotonnes per annum (ktpa) of copper production (>700 ktpa CuEq) and a strategy to deliver up to 650 ktpa copper production from the 100 per cent-owned Copper South Australia. During FY2025, we have further optimised the sequence of this growth program. Vicuña: an exciting new venture BHP is pleased to be partnering with Canada's Lundin Mining in the Vicuña joint venture, an exciting new copper growth opportunity for both companies in Argentina and Chile. In January 2025, BHP and Lundin Mining formed the Vicuña joint venture to hold the combined Josemaria and Filo del Sol projects located on the Argentina-Chile border. The joint venture will create a long-term partnership between BHP and Lundin Mining to jointly develop an emerging copper district with world-class potential. The proximity of Josemaria and Filo del Sol allows for infrastructure to be shared between the deposits, with greater economies of scale and increased optionality for staged expansions, as well as the incorporation of future exploration as the development matures. Unlocking further iron ore growth at WAIO WAIO has been the world's lowest-cost major iron ore producer for the last six years. WAIO was designed with an initial capacity of 240 Mtpa (100 per cent basis). In FY2025, WAIO produced a record 290 Mt (100 per cent basis) demonstrating supply chain excellence from pit to port. We have approved the commissioning of a sixth car dumper (CD6) and related infrastructure at Port Hedland for a total investment of ~US$0.9 billion.1 CD6 will create capacity to maintain production of >305 Mtpa (100 per cent basis) from Q4 FY2028 through a period of planned major CD renewals beginning in FY2029. It will also improve our ore blending and screening capability at the port. Our position in potash Potash is a fertiliser and can enable more efficient and sustainable farming. We believe potash is going to be increasingly required for agricultural use as a growing population seeks more and better food production from constrained farmable land. We are developing what we expect will be a best-in-class new potash mine in Canada capable of generating strong cash flow through the cycle. Jansen has the potential to deliver long-term value for shareholders, local communities and First Nations, and positions BHP to be one of the leaders in the global potash industry. For more information refer to OFR 6.4 Creating and accelerating longer-term options BHP Ventures BHP Ventures is our dedicated venture capital unit. It invests in companies developing game-changing technologies with the potential to make BHP's global operations safer, more productive and more sustainable. Investments in FY2025 included technologies covering ore characterisation, industrial robotics and physical artificial intelligence systems, subsurface mapping and ammonia cracking for maritime decarbonisation. Further investments were made in Boston Metal and Electra, portfolio companies supporting our electrochemical reduction pathway. Through our investments, we aim to accelerate the development of technology – such as early-stage leaching technologies – to benefit not only our business and value chain, but that of our broader industry. Think & Act Differently Think & Act Differently is BHP's team set up to find and accelerate leading mining technology solutions to support our ambitions to deliver commodities the world needs in new ways. In FY2025, successful pilots were conducted for Hydrofloat and Jameson cells, both flotation technologies that could help us recover more metal from the ore we process. A flame emissions probe, which is a slag temperature and characteristic monitoring tool, was developed, seeking to improve control and enhance safety in the Olympic Dam smelter. We also trialled automated drill rigs to improve efficiency. Collaboration with vendors also led to advancements in 3D seismic and muon tomography technologies for better ore body knowledge. Through our open innovation program, we supported 40 innovators in FY2025 providing them with mentoring, funding, data and samples to help develop options for the future. Growth through exploration, focused on copper Exploration In FY2025, we continued to strengthen our exploration portfolio, focusing primarily on copper opportunities. Our efforts spanned early-stage greenfield exploration, strategic alliances and the expansion of our Xplor accelerator program. Global greenfield exploration: expanding our footprint Our greenfield exploration is focused on the discovery of material new copper resources. We advanced greenfield exploration activities in Australia, Botswana, Canada, Chile, Norway, Peru, Serbia, Sweden and the United States. Copper South Australia: exploration and resource drilling In August 2024, we announced an Inferred Mineral Resource at Oak Dam. We also had promising brownfield exploration drilling results at OD Deeps, which included intercepts exceeding 1.0 per cent copper. Exploration drilling continued throughout FY2025, targeting resource expansion and further delineation of high-grade zones. BHP exploration regions Copper – Peru – Serbia exploration – Chile – Norway location – Australia, South Australia – United States – Australia, Queensland – Canada – Australia, Western Australia – Botswana BHP Xplor Established in FY2023, BHP Xplor continues to serve as our accelerator for early-stage critical mineral exploration. The program offers equity-free grants of up to US$500,000 and access to BHP's expert network, enabling selected companies to rapidly test geological concepts and mature their projects. To date, Xplor has supported 21 companies, with several companies advancing to longer-term commercial arrangements – demonstrating a clear pathway from concept to partnership. In January 2025, we announced the largest and most geographically diverse Xplor cohort to date, chosen based on the high quality of their exploration programs, strong leadership and innovative approaches to leveraging leading-edge technologies and data. The eight selected companies span seven countries – the United States, Argentina, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Peru and Germany – and are primarily focused on copper. Exploration expenditure Our total metals exploration expenditure was US$396 million in FY2025, a 13 per cent decrease on FY2024. Our resource assessment exploration expenditure decreased by 25 per cent to US$250 million, while our greenfield expenditure increased by 18 per cent to US$146 million. For more information on our exploration expenditure refer to Additional information 3 – Financial information by commodity. 1. Estimated capital expenditure is BHP equity share

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Chief Financial Officer's review Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to report on BHP's FY2025 financial results. We delivered another strong set of results enabled by our great people, the disciplined application of our strategy, world-class assets, operational excellence and through financial rigour underpinned by our Capital Allocation Framework (CAF). This enabled the Board to announce a final dividend of 60 US cents per share. Together with the dividend for the first half, the total dividends to shareholders determined for the year will be US$5.6 billion. Our approach aims to balance investment in growth with shareholder returns – as reflected in our payout ratio of 55 per cent for FY2025. Strong results We can deliver a dividend of this scale because of our resilient portfolio and disciplined operational delivery, achieved amid a volatile external environment. We achieved an underlying EBITDA of US$26 billion, with a 53 per cent margin. We have averaged a margin of over 50 per cent for the past 20 years, which is a testament to our consistency and a sign of the resilience and stability of BHP. This year, we generated net operating cash flow of US$18.7 billion. After an adjusted effective tax rate including royalties of 44.6 per cent, our underlying attributable profit was US$10.2 billion. Our return on capital employed was strong at 20.6 per cent. Strong performance in areas we can control We continue to perform well in the areas we can control, with healthy volume growth and disciplined cost management. We saw record production volumes in iron ore and copper, and increased our steelmaking coal production on the prior financial year, excluding Blackwater and Daunia which we divested in CY2024. Importantly, we continued to be disciplined with our costs. Escondida delivered an 18 per cent unit cost reduction and WAIO remains the lowest-cost major iron ore producer in the world. Across the group, unit costs at our major assets were down 4.7 per cent year-on-year.1 Value-adding investments and resilient balance sheet In FY2025, we invested US$9.8 billion in capital and exploration expenditure. We also invested US$2.1 billion to acquire a 50 per cent interest in the Josemaria and Filo del Sol deposits and form the Vicuña joint venture with Lundin Mining. The Filo del Sol deposit is one of the largest copper deposit discoveries in the last 30 years. We are doubling down on making sharper, more dynamic capital optimisation choices aimed at ensuring maximum value for every dollar we spend." Capital and exploration expenditure guidance remains unchanged in FY2026 and FY2027 at approximately US$11 billion. The increase is principally for investment in our strong pipeline of attractive growth projects. We have sought to optimise our capital profile over FY2028 to FY2030 and reduced forecast capital spend by US$1 billion per annum, to ~US$10 billion each year on average over this period. With net debt of US$12.9 billion, our balance sheet remains strong. The resilience of our portfolio, track record of stable operations and robust financial performance has led to our improved debt servicing capacity. Accordingly, we are revising our net debt target range to US$10 billion to US$20 billion (from US$5 billion to US$15 billion). This will unlock the power of our balance sheet for our pipeline of projects we expect will deliver great value for our shareholders, partners and other stakeholders well into the future. Disciplined approach – investing for value We maintain flexibility to adjust our capital spending and phasing of projects to accommodate market dynamics and cash flow generation. We are doubling down on making sharper, more dynamic capital optimisation choices aimed at ensuring maximum value for every dollar we spend. We have a number of levers at our disposal to do this. These include the sequencing of projects for improved value, lifting our project capital efficiency and enhancing our project excellence capabilities to unlock cash flow and returns earlier. We are also looking at strategic partnerships that can bring complementary skills and help manage risk. Additionally, we continue to investigate opportunities to unlock capital from our assets – which may hold greater value for others – to recycle into higher-returning opportunities at BHP. Delivering value for all stakeholders When BHP succeeds, we create value for all those around us. In FY2025, we delivered $46.8 billion in total global economic contribution, including US$24.8 billion in payments to our suppliers. Importantly, more than $3.2 billion in those payments went to small, local and Indigenous businesses in the communities where we operate. We also contributed US$10.4 billion in taxes and royalty payments and our global adjusted effective tax rate in FY2025 was 37.2 per cent. Once royalties are included, our FY2025 rate increases to 44.6 per cent. We remain one of the largest taxpayers in Australia, contributing US$6.8 billion in FY2025. During the last decade, we paid US$98.1 billion globally in taxes, royalties and other payments to governments, including US$78.1 billion in Australia. These payments help governments build schools, hospitals and roads and make a positive contribution to the communities in which we work and live. Future is exciting With our continued focus on operational excellence, balance sheet strength and rigorous capital discipline, I am confident that BHP is set to continue to deliver value for our shareholders well into the future. Thank you. Vandita Pant Chief Financial Officer 1. Calculated on a copper equivalent production weighted average basis, based on FY2025 average realised prices for major assets including Escondida, Spence, Copper SA, WAIO and BMA.

This decrease was mainly due to lower average realised prices for iron ore and coal combined with the transition of WAN into temporary suspension in December 2024 and the divestment of Blackwater and Daunia in April 2024. The decrease was partially offset by higher average realised prices for copper combined with higher copper sales volumes. Higher sales volumes were driven by record copper production primarily due to Escondida higher concentrator feed grade and throughput due to operational improvements, mine sequencing and productive movement and record production at Spence from improved operating performance. Although WAIO also achieved a production record, sales volumes were lower due to increased weather impacts from Tropical Cyclone Zelia and Tropical Storm Sean. For information on our average realised prices and production of our commodities refer to OFR 12 Other income of US$0.4 billion decreased by US$0.9 billion, or 71 per cent from FY2024 largely reflecting the exceptional US$0.9 billion (before tax) gain on divestment of Blackwater and Daunia recognised in FY2024. Total expenses excluding net finance costs of US$32.3 billion decreased by US$4.4 billion, or 12 per cent from FY2024. This primarily reflected the prior period impact of the US$3.8 billion (before tax) impairment of WAN assets combined with lower government royalties of US$1.0 billion in the current year due to lower realised iron ore and coal prices. Raw materials and consumables costs decreased by US$0.6 billion, mainly due to the transition of WAN into temporary suspension in December 2024 and the divestment of Blackwater and Daunia in April 2024. These were partially offset by net inventory movements of US$0.7 billion across the Group and higher wages and salaries of US$0.4 billion primarily due to inflation. Profit from equity accounted investments, related impairments and expenses of US$0.2 billion increased by US$2.8 billion from a loss of US$2.7 billion in FY2024 predominantly due to Samarco dam failure impacts in the prior period. For more information on the total impact of the Samarco dam failure provision and impairment charges connected with equity accounted investments refer to Financial Statements note 3 'Exceptional items' and Financial Statements note 13 'Impairment of non-current assets' respectively Net finance costs of US$1.1 billion decreased by US$0.4 billion, or 25 per cent, from FY2024 primarily reflecting the impact of lower interest rates on the unwind of discounting on provisions combined with higher capitalised interest, mainly in relation to Potash projects. For more information on net finance costs refer to Financial Statements note 23 'Net finance costs' Total taxation expense of US$7.2 billion increased by US$0.8 billion, or 12 per cent from FY2024 primarily due to the non-recurrence of a tax benefit of US$1.1 billion in relation to the impairment of WAN assets recognised in the prior period, the impact of a full year of higher Chilean mining taxes (effective 1 January 2024) and also higher tax in line with higher Chilean profits. For more information on income tax expense refer to Financial Statements note 6 'Income tax expense' Principal factors that affect Underlying EBITDA The following table and commentary describe the impact of the principal factors1 that affected Underlying EBITDA for FY2025 compared with FY2024. US$M Year ended 30 June 2024 29,016 Net price impact: Change in sales prices (4,580) Lower average realised prices for iron ore and coal, partially offset by higher average realised prices for copper. Price-linked costs 875 Lower iron ore and coal royalties in line with lower prices. (3,705) Change in volumes 2,215 Record copper production primarily due to Escondida higher concentrator feed grade and throughput due to operational improvements, mine sequencing and productive movement and record production at Spence from improved operating performance, partially offset by Copper SA slightly lower production volumes due to a weather-related power outage in Q2 FY2025. Copper SA sales volumes were slightly higher due to inventory drawdown. Record WAIO production despite sales volumes being lower due to increased weather impacts from Tropical Cyclone Zelia and Tropical Storm Sean, and planned Rail Technology Programme tie-ins. BMA strong performance, supported by improved truck productivity and inventory drawdown, helped mitigate wet weather and geotechnical challenges. Change in controllable cash costs: Operating cash costs (893) Higher costs at Escondida driven by one-off labour-related costs combined with higher operational and maintenance contractor costs to support higher material movement. Spence and Copper SA were higher due to finished goods inventory drawdowns. WAIO higher costs reflected additional planned shutdowns and to support higher material movement, partly offset by favourable inventory movements. BMA and NSWEC were higher due to inventory drawdowns to mitigate the impacts of wet weather, geotechnical conditions, and reduced truck availability, respectively. Exploration and (60) business development (953) Change in other costs: Exchange rates 354 Impact of movements in the Australian dollar and Chilean peso against the US dollar. Inflation on costs (538) Impact of inflation on the Group's cost base. Fuel, energy, and consumable 148 Predominantly lower diesel prices, partially offset by higher electricity and explosives prices. price movements Non-cash 392 Higher stripping capitalisation primarily at Escondida reflecting phase of mine plan. One-off items 356 Change in other: Asset sales (40) Ceased and sold operations (722) Contribution from the Blackwater and Daunia mines prior to divestment in FY2024 and the transition of WAN into temporary suspension in December 2024. Other (189) Includes higher rehabilitation costs reflecting increase in provision for certain contaminated sites. Year ended 30 June 2025 25,978 1. For information on the method of calculation of the principal factors that affect Underlying EBITDA refer to OFR 13.2.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Cash flow The following table provides a summary of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement contained in Financial Statements 1.4, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. 2025 2024 2023 Year ended 30 June US$M US$M US$M Net operating cash flows 18,692 20,665 18,701 Net investing cash flows (13,350) (8,762) (13,065) Net financing cash flows (5,971) (11,669) (10,315) Net (decrease)/increase in cash and cash equivalents (629) 234 (4,679) Net operating cash inflows of US$18.7 billion decreased by US$2.0 billion. This is primarily due to lower average realised prices, inflationary impacts on the Group's cost base, and inventory movements, partially offset by record copper production and favourable foreign exchange movements. Net investing cash outflows of US$13.4 billion increased by US$4.6 billion. This increase primarily reflects the US$2.1 billion to acquire a 50 per cent share in the Vicuña joint venture, US$1.1 billion of higher payments made in relation to Samarco, including settlement obligations, higher capital expenditure of US$0.6 billion, combined with non-recurrence of US$0.8 billion proceeds related to the divestment of Blackwater and Daunia received in FY2024. For more information on the Samarco ratification agreement and the acquisition of Filo Corp refer to Financial Statements note 4 'Significant events – Samarco dam failure' and note 29 'Investments accounted for using the equity method' respectively Net financing cash outflows of US$6.0 billion decreased by US$5.7 billion, reflecting lower repayments of interest bearing liabilities of US$5.7 billion mainly from the non-recurrence of the repayment of the OZL acquisition facility of US$5.0 billion in FY2024 and lower bond repayments in the current period. Lower dividends paid to BHP shareholders of US$1.3 billion were largely offset by lower proceeds from interest bearing liabilities of US$1.0 billion. For more information refer to Financial Statements note 21 'Net debt' Underlying return on capital employed (ROCE) of 20.6 per cent decreased by 6.6 percentage points (FY2024: 1.6 percentage point decrease) primarily due to the decrease in profit after taxation excluding net finance costs and exceptional items of US$3.3 billion combined with higher average capital employed reflecting the impact of the acquisition of a 50 per cent share in the Vicuña joint venture in FY2025 and the increase to the Samarco provision in FY2024. For more information on ROCE refer to OFR 13 5.4 Debt and sources of liquidity Our policies on debt and liquidity management have the following objectives: – a strong balance sheet through the cycle – diversification of funding sources – maintain borrowings and excess cash predominantly in US dollars Interest bearing liabilities, net debt and gearing At the end of FY2025, Interest bearing liabilities were US$24.5 billion (FY2024: US$20.7 billion) and Cash and cash equivalents were US$11.9 billion (FY2024: US$12.5 billion). This resulted in Net debt of US$12.9 billion, which represented an increase of US$3.8 billion compared with the Net debt position at 30 June 2024. The increase is primarily due to US$18.7 billion operating cash flows generated being more than offset by US$9.8 billion of capital and exploration expenditure, US$2.1 billion acquisition of a 50 per cent share in the Vicuña joint venture, US$1.8 billion of Samarco settlement obligation payments and dividend payments of US$8.3 billion. Gearing, which is the ratio of Net debt to Net debt plus Net assets, was 19.8 per cent at 30 June 2025, compared with 15.7 per cent at 30 June 2024. For more information on Net debt and gearing refer to Financial Statements note 21 'Net debt' and OFR 13 During FY2025, gross debt increased by US$3.8 billion to US$24.5 billion as at 30 June 2025. The increase reflects the issuance of US$3.0 billion US bonds in February 2025 and entering a US$1.0 billion three-year loan in December 2024. At the subsidiary level, Escondida repaid US$40 million of debt and received proceeds from debt of US$150 million in the period.

BHP Annual Report 2025 5 Financial review continued Funding sources In February 2025, the Group issued three tranches of USD bonds totalling US$3.0 billion and comprising US$1.0 billion 5.00 per cent bonds due CY2030, US$750 million 5.125 per cent bonds due CY2032 and US$1.25 billion 5.30 per cent bonds due CY2035. The USD bonds were issued by BHP Billiton Finance (USA) Limited, a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BHP Group Limited. In December 2024, the Group entered a US$1.0 billion three-year term loan. The borrower is BHP Billiton Finance Limited, a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BHP Group Limited. Our Group-level borrowing facilities are not subject to financial covenants. Certain specific financing facilities in relation to specific assets are the subject of financial covenants that vary from facility to facility, but this would be considered normal for such facilities. In addition to the Group's uncommitted debt issuance programs, we hold the following committed standby facility: Facility Facility available Drawn Undrawn available Drawn Undrawn 2025 2025 2025 2024 2024 2024 US$M US$M US$M US$M US$M US$M Revolving credit facility1 5,500 – 5,500 5,500 – 5,500 Total financing facility 5,500 – 5,500 5,500 – 5,500 1. The facility was refinanced on 10 July 2025, and has a five-year maturity, with two one-year extension options. The Group's committed US$5.5 billion revolving credit facility operates as a back-stop to the Group's uncommitted commercial paper program. The combined amount drawn under the facility or as commercial paper will not exceed US$5.5 billion. As at 30 June 2025, US$ nil commercial paper was drawn (FY2024: US$ nil), therefore US$5.5 billion of committed facility was available to use (FY2024: US$5.5 billion). A commitment fee is payable on the undrawn balance and interest is payable on any drawn balance comprising a reference rate plus a margin. The agreed margins are typical for a credit facility extended to a company with the Group's credit rating. For more information on the maturity profile of our debt obligations and details of our standby and support agreements refer to Financial Statements note 24 'Financial risk management' Information in relation to our material off-balance sheet arrangements, principally contingent liabilities, commitments for capital expenditure and commitments under leases at 30 June 2025 is provided in Financial Statements note 11 'Property, plant and equipment', Financial Statements note 22 'Leases' and Financial Statements note 32 'Contingent liabilities', respectively In our opinion, working capital is sufficient for our present requirements. The Group's Moody's credit rating has remained at A1/P-1 outlook stable (long-term/short-term). The Group's Fitch credit rating has remained at A/F1 outlook stable (long-term/short-term). Credit ratings are forward-looking opinions on credit risk. Moody's and Fitch's credit ratings express the opinion of each agency on the ability and willingness of BHP to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by an assigning rating agency. Any credit rating should be evaluated independently of any other information. The following table expands on the net debt, to provide more information on the cash and non-cash movements in FY2025. 2025 2024 Year ended 30 June US$M US$M Net debt at the beginning of the period (9,120) (11,166) Net operating cash flows 18,692 20,665 Net investing cash flows (13,350) (8,762) Net financing cash flows (5,971) (11,669) Net (decrease)/increase in cash and cash equivalents (629) 234 Carrying value of interest bearing liability net (proceeds)/repayments (2,454) 2,236 Carrying value of debt related instruments settlements 147 321 Carrying value of cash management related instruments proceeds (195) (361) Fair value change on hedged loans1 (263) 214 Fair value change on hedged derivatives1 290 (188) Foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents 24 (159) Lease additions (excluding leases associated with index-linked freight contracts) (547) (429) Divestment of subsidiaries and operations 60 Other (177) 118 Non-cash movements (673) (384) Net debt at the end of the period (12,924) (9,120) 1.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 6 Our assets 6.1 Copper Escondida Overview Escondida (BHP ownership: 57.5 per cent), located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, is a leading producer of copper concentrate and cathodes, with by-products including gold and silver. Escondida's two open-cut pits feed three concentrator plants, as well as two leaching operations. Key developments in FY2025 Escondida achieved its highest production in 17 years, increasing 16 per cent year-on-year due to record concentrator throughput, improved recoveries, higher concentrator feed grade of 1.02 per cent (FY2024: 0.88 per cent) and the Full SaL leaching project, which achieved first production in Q4 FY2025. Escondida Norte pit achieved the first full autonomous haulage in FY2025 with 33 trucks operating at the end of June 2025. Escondida successfully completed negotiations for a new collective agreement with the Union N°1 of Operators and Maintainers, effective for 36 months from 2 August 2024; the associated industrial action prior to the finalisation of negotiations did not have a material impact on production during Q1 as a result of mitigating actions taken by management, including mine resequencing and prioritisation of ore movement. Escondida also completed negotiations with the Union N°3 of Operators and Maintainers, effective for 36 months from 20 December 2024. Full SaL, a BHP-designed leaching technology, delivered first production during FY2025. We expect it to produce ~410 kt in copper cathodes at Escondida over a 10-year period through improved recoveries and shorter leach cycle times. In November 2024, we outlined our attractive Escondida Growth Program at our Chilean copper site tour, with low capital intensity options in both concentrator and leaching pathways. Since then, we have identified several positive initiatives to improve the capital efficiency, production profile and value of the Escondida growth program. Near term these include several low capital intensity initiatives that can be executed immediately across the Laguna Seca concentrators; while we also plan to extend the life of the Los Colorados concentrator by ~6–12 months and, in parallel, optimise the demolition process to allow earlier access to high grade PL2 zone ore to offset the impact of this extension. Our permitting strategy has progressed as expected and the first permit submitted in March 2025 will enable critical works to achieve our optimised production plan. Permitting for the new concentrator is under preparation and will be submitted by the end of FY2026. We continue to study various leaching technologies, with each at different stages of evaluation. Production for FY2026 is expected to be between 1,150 and 1,250 kt. Concentrator feed grade for FY2026 is expected to be lower than FY2025 at approximately 0.85 per cent. Pampa Norte Overview Pampa Norte (BHP ownership: 100 per cent) consists of two assets in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile – Spence and Cerro Colorado. Both are open-cut mines. Spence produces copper cathodes and copper concentrate, with by-products including gold, silver and molybdenum. Cerro Colorado produced copper cathodes up until the asset entered temporary care and maintenance in December 2023. Key developments in FY2025 Spence copper production increased 5 per cent to a record 268 kt due to improved stacked feed grade. Concentrator throughput, feed grade and recovery were broadly in line with the prior period. Production at Spence for FY2026 is expected to be between 230 and 250 kt due to expected lower concentrator feed grades and increased volume of transitional ore processed. Cerro Colorado transitioned to temporary care and maintenance in December 2023 and we are continuing to study the application of BHP's SaL 1 leaching technology to potentially restart of operations in the future. Copper South Australia Overview Copper South Australia (BHP ownership: 100 per cent) comprises the Olympic Dam, Carrapateena and Prominent Hill underground mining and surface operations, as well as the Oak Dam exploration project, and is located within South Australia's Gawler Craton, one of the world's most significant copper, gold, silver and uranium oxide basins. Carrapateena and Prominent Hill use underground mining and surface grinding and concentrating methods to produce copper concentrate, which also contains gold and silver by-products. Located nearby is the Olympic Dam mine and integrated crushing, grinding, concentrating, smelting and refining operations which produces copper cathode, gold and silver bullion, and uranium oxide concentrate. The Oak Dam Project is a greenfield copper, gold, silver, and uranium deposit located in close proximity to the Carrapateena and Olympic Dam operations. The commodities produced by Copper South Australia are transported by road, rail and plane to our domestic customers and exported via the Adelaide and Whyalla ports to our global customers.

BHP Annual Report 2025 6 Our assets continued Key developments in FY2025 Copper South Australia achieved production of 316 kilotonnes (kt) of payable copper (322 kt FY2024), gold production of 361 thousand troy ounces (ktoz) (370 ktoz FY2024) and 3.2 kt of uranium (3.6 kt FY2024). Production was impacted by a significant two-week weather-related power outage in Q2 FY2025. Safe and stable ramp up after the outage was successfully achieved, delivering record H2 copper production and record full-year concentrate smelted, supported by 12.0 kt copper contained (12.6 kt FY2024) of concentrate transfers from Prominent Hill and Carrapateena. Carrapateena achieved higher productivity from the sub-level cave, resulting in strong annual copper production and record gold production of 99 ktoz (91 ktoz FY2024). Hydrofloat technology was commissioned in Q4 and is a key enabler to uplifting processing throughput rates up to 7 Mtpa of mined ore. At Olympic Dam, an investment of ~US$200 million in underground development was approved for the Southern Mine Area, with this new decline expected to unlock up to 2.5 Mtpa of additional vertical capacity, with completion expected in FY2028. The Prominent Hill Operations Expansion (PHOX) project reached a key milestone in Q4, with the completion of the Wira Shaft sink. The project is expected to extend the mine life to at least 2040 and is on track to come online in the second half of FY2027. Copper South Australia has entered contracts with Aurizon to deliver an integrated rail, road, and port logistics solution, transitioning the transport of copper concentrate and cathode from Olympic Dam, Carrapateena, and Prominent Hill to rail between Pimba and Port Adelaide. The initiative is expected to remove over 11,000 truck movements annually – reducing road safety risks and enable substantial long-term value to be unlocked for Copper South Australia. At Oak Dam, exploration activities advanced as we continued to progress government, heritage and regulatory approvals for the commencement of twin underground access declines. A significant milestone was achieved with the signing of the Oak Dam Retention Lease Project Indigenous Land Use Agreement for Advanced Exploration with the Kokatha people. Production at Copper South Australia for FY2026 is expected to be between 310 and 340 kt, driven primarily by improved operational stability at Olympic Dam, following the weather-related power outage in FY2025. Carajás On 15 August 2025, the Group entered into a binding agreement for the divestment of the Carajás assets in Brazil to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreX Holdings for total consideration of up to US$465 million. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions (including regulatory approvals), the transaction is expected to complete in early CY2026. Non-operated minerals joint ventures Antamina Overview Antamina (BHP ownership: 33.75 per cent), located in north central Peru, is a large, low-cost, open-cut copper and zinc mine with by-products including molybdenum and silver. Antamina is operated independently by Compañía Minera Antamina S.A. Key developments in FY2025 At Antamina, copper production decreased 17 per cent to 119 kt reflecting lower concentrator throughput and a decline in feed grade. Zinc production was 5 per cent higher at 109 kt, as a result of higher zinc feed grade. For FY2026, Antamina copper production is expected to increase to between 120 and 140 kt, and zinc production is expected to be between 90 and 110 kt. Resolution Copper Overview Resolution Copper (BHP ownership: 45 per cent), located in the US state of Arizona, is one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the world and has the potential to become one of the largest copper producers in North America. Resolution Copper is operated by Rio Tinto (55 per cent ownership). Key developments in FY2025 In FY2025, Resolution Copper progressed engineering and permitting activities. In June 2025, the US Forest Service republished the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), a prerequisite for the land exchange (LEX) with the US Government, to secure land critical for the project. The FEIS and LEX remain under ongoing litigation. Resolution Copper remains committed to engaging with Native American Tribes and other stakeholders to create shared value and long-term benefits.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Vicuña Overview Vicuña (BHP ownership: 50 per cent) is advancing the Josemaria and Filo del Sol deposits located along the border of San Juan Province, Argentina and the Atacama region of Chile. Vicuña is independently operated by Vicuña Corp. Key developments in FY2025 During FY2025, BHP and Lundin Mining completed the acquisition of Filo Corp., a Toronto Stock Exchange-listed company that owned 100 per cent of the Filo del Sol deposit. BHP and Lundin Mining have also formed the Canadian-incorporated joint venture company, Vicuña Corp. to hold the Josemaria and the Filo del Sol copper deposits. BHP Canada and Lundin Mining each hold a 50 per cent interest in the Vicuña joint venture. Prior to completion of the transaction, Lundin Mining owned 100 per cent of the Josemaria deposit. At completion, BHP Canada acquired a 50 per cent interest in the Josemaria copper deposit from Lundin Mining. BHP Canada and Lundin Mining then contributed their respective 50 per cent interests in Filo Corp. and the Josemaria deposit into the Joint Venture. As part of the transaction, BHP paid a cash payment to Lundin Mining for its effective 50 per cent interest in the Josemaria deposit. This is the first year BHP has included the Josemaria and Filo del Sol deposits in the Annual Report. An integrated technical report for the combined project is expected in Q1 CY2026. Vicuña has until July 2026 to submit its Inventive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI) application which, if approved, is expected to be beneficial to the economics of the project.

It owns and operates more than 1,000 kilometres of rail infrastructure and two port facilities. WAIO's ore reserves are developed through integrated mining hubs connected to the mines and satellite orebodies by conveyors or spur lines. This approach seeks to maximise the value of installed infrastructure by using the same processing plant and rail infrastructure for several orebodies. Ore is crushed, beneficiated (where necessary) and blended at the processing hubs – Mt Newman operations (which has our beneficiation plant), Yandi, Mining Area C (our largest operating iron ore hub processing ore from Area C and South Flank) and Jimblebar – to create lump and fines products. These products are then transported along the Port Hedland– Mt Newman rail line to the Finucane Island and Nelson Point port facilities at Port Hedland. Key developments in FY2025 WAIO delivered another full-year record production of 257 million tonnes (Mt) (255 Mt FY2024) or 290 Mt (287 Mt FY2024) on a 100 per cent basis, and record shipments. This reflects supply chain excellence with record productive movement, in addition to improved rail cycle times, and enhanced car dumper and ship loader performance unlocked by the Port Debottlenecking Project 1 (PDP1). South Flank exceeded nameplate capacity of 80 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) (100 per cent basis) in its first year following ramp up, contributing to record Ore for Rail volumes from the Central Pilbara Hub (South Flank and Mining Area C). The record production was delivered despite the impact of Tropical Cyclone Zelia and Tropical Storm Sean, and the planned increase in tie-in activity of the multi-year Rail Technology Programme (RTP1). In August 2025, BHP approved the commissioning of a sixth car dumper (CD6) and related infrastructure at Port Hedland for a total investment of ~US$0.9 billion.1 CD6 will create capacity to maintain production of >305 Mtpa (100 per cent basis) from Q4 FY2028 through a period of planned major car dumper renewals beginning FY2029. It will also improve our ore blending and screening capability at the port. In FY2025, WAIO achieved another record spend with Traditional Owners and Indigenous businesses representing a 14 per cent increase on the previous year to over A$500 million, of which more than A$300 million was spent with 67 Traditional Owner businesses. Production for FY2026 is expected to be between 251 and 262 Mt (284 and 296 Mt on a 100 per cent basis), incorporating the planned rebuild of Car Dumper 3 in the first half of FY2026 and the ongoing tie-in activities for RTP1.

BHP Annual Report 2025 6 Our assets continued Non-operated joint venture Samarco Overview Samarco (BHP ownership: 50 per cent) comprises an open-cut mine and three concentrators located in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, and four pellet plants and a port located in Anchieta in the state of Espírito Santo. Three 400-kilometre pipelines connect the mine site to the pelletising facilities. Samarco is operated independently by Samarco Mineração S.A. Samarco's main product is iron ore pellets, which are independently marketed by Samarco and sold to customers around the world. Samarco's operations were suspended in November 2015 after the Fundão dam failure. Since resuming operations in December 2020, Samarco has adopted enhanced tailings management practices, enabling operations without the use of a conventional tailings dam. Samarco has pursued a safe and sustainable gradual restart of operations through three phases. Two of these phases have been successfully completed, and in May 2025 Samarco achieved full phase two ramp up (latent pelletising plant and second concentrator), reaching 60 per cent of its total 26 Mtpa (100 per cent basis) production capacity. The third and final phase, still subject to investment decision, would see operations achieving 100 per cent by FY2029. Key developments in FY2025 Samarco increased iron ore pellets and ore fines production in FY2025 by 34 per cent to 6.3Mt (BHP share) following the ramp up of the second concentrator. FY2026 production is expected to increase to between 7.0 and 7.5 Mt with the second concentrator now online, somewhat offset by planned maintenance expected during the financial year. Samarco has been progressively decommissioning its upstream tailings dam structures in accordance with Brazilian legislation. Decommissioning works for the smaller of the two tailings dams, the Germano Pit dam, were completed during FY2023 and formally approved by state authorities in FY2024. The progressive decommissioning of the remaining upstream tailings dam structure, the Germano Main dam, is on track for completion by FY2029. These structures have been certified as stable by independent third parties and are compliant with local stability and monitoring requirements. In addition, Samarco is now fully compliant with the Global Industry Standards on Tailings Management (GISTM) requirements. Samarco is continuing broader studies to review solutions to operate without tailings dams beyond FY2030.

BMA's mines are open cut, except for the Broadmeadow underground longwall operation. BMA has access to infrastructure, including a modern, multi-user rail network, and owns and operates its own coal-loading terminal at Hay Point, near Mackay. Based on customer requirements, coal from different coal seams is blended as raw components to meet required quality specifications then washed at our processing plants on site at Goonyella Riverside (which processes coal extracted from Broadmeadow underground, as well as the Goonyella Riverside open cut), Saraji, Peak Downs and Caval Ridge Mines. The product is then transported via rail to Hay Point Coal Terminal where further blending can take place depending on both customer and operational requirements. Key developments in FY2025 BMA production increased 5 per cent (excluding the contribution of Blackwater and Daunia in FY2024), and raw coal inventory levels increased 12 per cent. The strong performance was underpinned by improved truck productivity and led to increased production across all open-cut mines. Our focus on rebuilding raw coal inventory enabled us to stabilise operating performance across the asset and increase production despite the geotechnical challenges at Broadmeadow and a 36 per cent year-on-year increase in rainfall. BHP Mitsubishi Alliance Queensland, Australia Existing Bowen operations Township BMA Terminal Collinsville Rail Riverside Goonyella Mackay Broadmeadow BMA Coal Terminal Hay Point Moranbah Ridge Caval Peak Downs Saraji Dysart In July 2024, the Barada Barna Aboriginal Corporation (BBAC), on behalf of the Barada Barna people, entered into a project-wide Native Title Agreement with BMA for its operations in the Bowen Basin, including Broadmeadow, Caval Ridge, Goonyella Riverside, Peak Downs, and Saraji mines. This Agreement sets a new path forward in the relationship between BMA and the Barada Barna people and will provide intergenerational benefit to the Traditional Owners of the land where BMA operates.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Production for FY2026 is expected to increase to between 18 and 20 Mt (36 and 40 Mt on a 100 per cent basis), weighted to the second half. We expect the inventory rebuild to continue into CY2027. New South Wales Energy Coal Overview New South Wales Energy Coal (NSWEC) (BHP ownership: 100 per cent) comprises the Mt Arthur Coal open-cut energy coal mine in the Hunter Valley. It has access to infrastructure in the Hunter Region, including a multi-user rail network and coal loading terminal access at the Port of Newcastle through Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (BHP ownership: 28 per cent) and Port Waratah Coal Services. In FY2022, we announced we would retain NSWEC in our portfolio, seek the relevant approvals to continue mining beyond the consent that was due to expire at the end of FY2026 and proceed with a managed process to cease mining at the asset by the end of FY2030. Continuation of mining to the end of FY2030 is intended to provide the time to work with our people and the local community on an equitable change and transition approach as well as the time needed to deal with land and tenure BHP will no longer require. It also allows time to plan and execute the necessary works to deliver a positive legacy from BHP mining in the Hunter Valley, which includes balancing business, community and regulatory needs and expectations. Key developments in FY2025 NSWEC FY2025 production of 15.04 Mt exceeded the top end of the external guidance range of 13–15Mt, assisted by achieving record annual feed volumes through the coal handling preparation plant. FY2025 production decreased slightly from the prior year as a result of increased wet weather impacting truck productivity, as well as a higher proportion of washed coal and reduced truck availability in Q1. This was partially offset by a drawdown of inventory. In FY2025, BHP received approval from the New South Wales Government to extend mining activities at Mt Arthur Coal for an additional four years, from July New Wales South Energy Coal Gunnedah Tamworth Quirindi Australia NSW, Existing operations Township Port Rail Muswellbrook Mt Arthur Singleton Maitland Cessnock Newcastle 2026 to June 2030. BHP has committed to a A$30 million community fund to help support the Upper Hunter prepare for 2030 and beyond. The fund will be delivered in partnership with the community through a shared decision-making model and will prioritise job creation, industry diversification and economic empowerment. BHP has also entered into an agreement with renewable energy and infrastructure company ACCIONA Energía to explore the potential development of a pumped hydro energy storage project, which would be located in part of the Mt Arthur Coal operation. Production at NSWEC for FY2026 is expected to be between 14 and 16 Mt. 6.4 Potash Jansen potash project Overview The Jansen potash project (BHP ownership: 100 per cent) is located about 140 kilometres east of Saskatoon, Canada. Jansen's large resource provides the opportunity to develop the project in stages, with Jansen Stage 1 (JS1) expected to produce approximately 4.15 Mt of potash per annum on completion and first production is estimated in mid CY2027. Approval of the 4.36 Mtpa Jansen Stage 2 (JS2) has increased planned production to approximately 8.5 Mtpa, with further brownfield expansions up to 8 Mtpa (approximately 4 Mtpa per stage). BHP holds mineral leases covering around 9,600 square kilometres in the Saskatchewan potash basin. Key developments in FY2025 JS1 was 68 per cent complete as at 30 June 2025. During FY2025, we safely completed the underground lateral connection between our two vertical shafts. On surface, we progressed structural, mechanical and electrical activities for the mill areas, and received the first delivery of railcars at site. We estimate capital expenditure for JS1 to increase from US$5.7 billion to be in the range of US$7.0 billion–US$7.4 billion (including contingencies) and first production to revert to the original schedule of mid-CY2027. The estimated cost increase is driven by inflationary and real cost escalation pressures, design development and scope changes, and our current assessment of lower productivity outcomes over the construction period. We expect to update the market on JS1's timing and optimised capital expenditure estimate in the second half of FY2026. JS2 was 11 per cent complete as at 30 June 2025. Progress in FY2025 was driven by engineering, procurement activities, and civil works. Jansen project potash Prince Albert Canada Saskatchewan, Existing operations Township BHP mineral leases Wolverine Saskatoon Jansen Yorkton Moose Jaw Melville Regina Burr Young Boulder Stalwart Holdfast We have decided to extend the execution of JS2 by two years, shifting first production from FY2029 to FY2031, as part of our regular review of capex sequencing under the Capital Allocation Framework. JS2's capital expenditure remains under review and we expect to update the market on JS2's optimised capital expenditure estimate in the second half of FY2026.

BHP Annual Report 2025 6 Our assets continued 6.5 Nickel Western Australia Nickel Overview Western Australia Nickel (BHP ownership: 100 per cent), which comprises Nickel West and the West Musgrave project, transitioned into temporary suspension at the end of the first half of FY2025. The decision to temporarily suspend Western Australia Nickel, announced on 11 July 2024, follows oversupply in the global nickel market. Western Australia Nickel holds the majority of tenements hosting nickel sulphide mineral resources in the Agnew-Wiluna belt, Western Australia. The Nickel West asset consists of open-cut and underground mines, concentrators, and a smelter and refinery for downstream processing. The West Musgrave project is a greenfield nickel and copper project located on Ngaanyatjarra Country in the West Musgrave Ranges of Western Australia. Project construction has been temporarily suspended at 30 per cent completion. Key developments in FY2025 Western Australia Nickel experienced strong production performance prior to temporary suspension of operations, supplemented by a drawdown of inventory stocks across the value chain, to achieve production of 30 kilotonnes (kt) of nickel. We intend to review the decision to temporarily suspend Western Australia Nickel by February 2027. As part of this review, BHP is assessing the potential divestment of the Western Australia Nickel assets. Any decision to divest will be subject to an assessment against other options, including continuing temporary suspension, restart or closure. During the review process, BHP is committed to supporting the workforce with a people-first approach; ensuring the ongoing safety and integrity of the mines and related infrastructure; working closely with Traditional Owners, governments and suppliers, and investing in local communities via the A$20 million Community Fund established in 2024; and investing in exploration to extend the resource life of Western Australia Nickel and preserve optionality.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 7 How we manage risk Risk management helps us to protect and create value, and is central to achieving our purpose and strategic objectives. Our Risk Framework has four pillars: risk strategy, risk governance, risk process and risk intelligence. Risks associated with the organisations, businesses or assets that we acquire are transitioned to BHP's Risk Framework as part of integration activities, which generally involves a transitional period. Risk integration of our OZ Minerals Australian assets was completed during FY2025. Non-operated joint ventures are independently managed and operated, and BHP does not manage their risks. However, we manage risks to BHP's investments in non-operated joint ventures. To do this, we seek within the limits of the respective joint venture agreements to enhance governance processes and influence operator companies to adopt international standards and best practices. Risk strategy Risk classification We classify all risks to which BHP is exposed using our Group Risk Architecture. This is a tool designed to provide a platform to understand risk exposure and manage identified risks. Similar risks are considered together in groups and categories. This is designed to support Board and management visibility over the aggregate exposure to risks on a Group-wide basis and support performance monitoring and reporting against BHP's risk appetite. Risk appetite BHP's Risk Appetite Statements are approved by the Board and are a foundational element of our Risk Framework. They provide guidance to management on the amount and type of risk we seek to take in pursuing our objectives. Key risk indicators Key risk indicators (KRIs) are set by management to help monitor performance against our risk appetite. They also support decision-making by providing management with information about financial and non-financial risk exposure at a Group level. Each KRI has a target, or optimal level of risk we seek to take, as well as upper and lower limits. Where either limit is exceeded, management will review potential causes to understand if BHP may be taking too little or too much risk and to identify whether further action is required. Risk culture Our risk management approach is underpinned by a risk culture that supports decision-making in accordance with BHP's values, objectives and risk appetite. We use a common foundation across BHP to build the tools and capabilities required to enable us to understand, monitor and manage our risk culture. These include the risk-culture assessments undertaken as part of our internal audit plan. Strategic business decisions Strategic business decisions and the pursuit of our strategic objectives can inform, create or affect risks to which BHP is exposed. These risks may represent opportunities as well as threats. Our Risk Appetite Statements and KRIs assist in determining whether a proposed course of action is consistent with BHP's risk appetite. Our focus when managing risks associated with strategic business decisions is to enable the pursuit of high-reward strategies. Therefore, as well as having controls designed to protect BHP from threats, we seek to implement controls to enable and/or enhance opportunities. Risk governance Three lines model BHP uses the 'three lines model' to define the role of different teams across the organisation in managing risk. This approach sets clear accountabilities for risk management and provides appropriate 'checks and balances' to support us in protecting and growing value. The first line is provided by our frontline staff, operational management and people in functional roles – anyone who makes decisions, deploys resources or contributes to an outcome is responsible for identifying and managing the associated risks. The Risk team and other second-line teams are responsible for providing expertise, support, monitoring and challenge on risk-related matters, including by defining Group-wide minimum standards. The third line, our Internal Audit team, is responsible for providing independent and objective assurance over the control environment (governance, risk management and internal controls) to the Board (including applicable Board Committees) and Executive Leadership Team. Additional assurance may also be provided by external providers, such as our External Auditor. The Risk team and Internal Audit team are led by the Chief Risk and Audit Officer. This structure facilitates overall effectiveness of both teams, including through alignment of second- and third-line assurance activities across BHP, while maintaining the independence of our Internal Audit team through appropriate safeguards. BHP Board and Committees The Board reviews and monitors the effectiveness of the Group's systems of financial and non-financial risk management and internal control. The broad range of skills, experience and knowledge of the Board assists in providing a diverse view on risk management. The Risk and Audit Committee (RAC) and Sustainability Committee assist the Board by reviewing and considering BHP's material risk profile (covering operational, strategic and emerging risks) on a biannual basis. Risk management performance is monitored and reported to the RAC, as well as the Sustainability Committee for health, safety, environment and community matters, supporting the Board to challenge and hold management to account. For information on other Board Committee activities that support risk governance at BHP refer to the Corporate Governance Statement

BHP Annual Report 2025 7 How we manage risk continued Risk process Our Risk Framework requires identification and management of risks (both threats and opportunities) to be embedded in business activities through the following process: – Risk identification – threats and opportunities are identified and each is assigned an owner or accountable individual. – Risk assessments – risks are assessed using appropriate and internationally recognised techniques to determine their potential impacts and likelihood, prioritise them and inform risk treatment options. – Risk treatment – controls are implemented that are designed to prevent, minimise and/or mitigate threats, and enable and/or enhance opportunities. – Monitoring and review – risks and controls are reviewed periodically and on an ad hoc basis (including where there are high potential events or changes in the external environment) to evaluate performance. – Communication – relevant information is recorded in our enterprise risk management system to support continuous improvement and share risk intelligence across the Group. Our Risk Framework includes requirements and guidance on the tools and processes to manage current and emerging risks. Current risks Current risks are risks that could impact BHP today or in the near future and comprise current operational risks (risks that have their origin inside BHP or occur as a result of our activities) and current strategic risks (risks that may enhance or impede the achievement of our strategic objectives). Current risks include material and non-material risks (as defined by our Risk Framework). The materiality of a current risk is determined by estimating the maximum foreseeable loss (MFL) if that risk were to materialise. The MFL is the estimated impact to BHP in a worst-case scenario without regard to probability and assuming all controls, including insurance and hedging contracts, are ineffective. For more information on our risk factors refer to OFR 11 Our focus for current risks is to prevent their occurrence or minimise their impact should they occur, but we also consider how to maximise possible benefits that might be associated with strategic risks (as described in the Risk strategy section). Current material risks are required to be evaluated once a year at a minimum to determine whether our exposure to the risk is within our target range. Emerging risks Emerging risks are newly developing or changing risks that are highly uncertain and difficult to quantify. They are generally driven by external influences and often cannot be prevented by BHP. BHP maintains a 'watch list' of emerging themes and monitors associated signals to interpret external events and trends, providing an evolving view of the changing external environment and how it might impact our business. We use the watch list and signal monitoring to support the identification and management of emerging risks, as well as to inform and test our corporate strategy. Once identified, our focus for emerging risks is on structured monitoring of the external environment, advocacy efforts to reduce the likelihood of the threats manifesting and identifying options to increase our resilience to these threats. Risk intelligence The Risk team provides the Board, RAC, Sustainability Committee and senior management with insights on risk management across BHP. Risk reports may include trends, aggregate exposure and performance for our most significant risks, updates on the Risk Framework and risk management priorities, an overview of (and material changes in) BHP's material risk profile and updates on strategic and emerging risk themes and signals. We maintain a risk insights dashboard designed to provide current, data-driven and actionable risk intelligence to our people at all levels of the business to support decision-making. This tool empowers the business to manage risks more effectively, with increased accuracy and transparency. The Board, RAC and Sustainability Committee also receive other reports to support the Board to review and monitor the effectiveness of BHP's systems of financial and non-financial risk management. Examples of these include internal audit reports, ethics and investigations reports, compliance reports and the Chief Executive Officer's report. For information on our risk factors refer to OFR 11

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 8 Safety Nothing is more important than protecting the safety and wellbeing of our workforce. Our workplace culture is built on a foundation of safety as a core value. This requires strong connections and collaboration at every level and is at the heart of our Global Field Leadership Program and BHP Operating System (BOS). In FY2025, we continued to enhance how we simplify, standardise and integrate safety principles and practices within the BOS Framework. One example of this integration is the joint effort between Safety, BOS, Risk and HR to develop and test how we measure safety culture maturity via BOS maturity assessments, which our teams use to more broadly identify their strengths and opportunities to improve work outcomes and wider organisational culture. We also used technology in new ways to help keep our people safe and will explore its ongoing application to support future improvements. Continuing to strengthen our safety risk control framework and building skill across our workforce is vital, especially in our frontline leaders and safety professionals. Our leaders take an active role in coaching their teams to enable them to perform their work safely and effectively. We have finalised our investigation into the fatal incident at Olympic Dam in April 2023 and the findings, along with those from the fatality at Saraji in January 2024, were shared internally to help us improve the way we execute work safely. We recognise the severity and impact of these events and continue to provide support to their respective families, friends and colleagues. What we learned from the investigation plays a crucial role in our ongoing efforts to strengthen our safety systems and risk control framework as we work to prevent fatalities. The elimination of fatalities is a critical milestone in our FY2026 social value scorecard, together with focusing on improving our high potential injury frequency rate for employees and contractors. This is key for our 2030 social value goal to have a Safe, inclusive and future-ready workforce. and Case safety study: (field Driving leadership) improvement integration via BOS In FY2025, the way leaders provide their direct reports with coaching and feedback under the Global Field Leadership Program was simplified and standardised by adopting the same practices and tools as those supporting the BOS framework, via the use of Role Confirmations. A Role Confirmation is a BOS routine that encourages open communication and clarifies roles, standards, consistency, process alignment, best practice and opportunities for improvement. Field leadership-focused Role Confirmations promote alignment and quality in field engagement activities and build field leadership capability in our leaders. Insights from Role Confirmations deepen our understanding of how effective leaders are at connecting with our people to learn from everyday work, to reinforce standards, verify risk controls, and identify quality actions and improvements via meaningful engagement and collaboration. These common practices and tools also help our leaders to build and sustain capability within their own teams through quality feedback and coaching. Our leaders have embraced this field leadership improvement with an encouraging take-up evident in their work routines. We believe when our leaders systematically and reliably provide their teams with authentic feedback and coaching, it is one of the most effective ways they demonstrate genuine care and embrace our values (do what's right, seek better ways, make a difference) and it has a profound and positive impact on our workplace culture. Fatality Elimination Program The Fatality Elimination Program (FEL), which began in 2020 and is a five-year program, provides a solid foundation for delivering strong safety performance through the standardisation and implementation of fatal risk controls (FEL controls). In FY2025, we completed incorporation of most of the recommended FEL controls as requirements under our Global Standards (Safety, Process Safety Management and Geotechnical). This important work also included the introduction of a new global specification for vehicles, which emphasises standardisation of controls, and the use of new technology designed to prevent fatalities related to vehicles and mobile equipment. At the end of FY2025, having embedded the defined set of Global Standards, the FEL program shifted to an asset-led model for fatal risk control management. This transition formally closes out the five-year, globally led FEL program. This important change provides our operated assets with ownership of their respective control plans and enables them to tailor and apply FEL controls relevant to their specific risk exposure scenarios. This is supported by Global Standards (including the new global specification for vehicles) and audit and assurance processes. Field Leadership Program The intent of the Global Field Leadership Program is for our leaders to foster a culture of care and trust, reinforce standards, risk control verification and uplift capability via coaching across all levels of work to drive learning and improve safety performance outcomes. Our leaders spend time engaging with frontline teams, role modelling the right behaviours and standards, observing and learning about safety concerns and feedback. They coach and empower our teams to speak up, to focus on the presence of controls that will keep them safe and to encourage even better ways to work safely. These connections and conversations build trust and strengthen collaboration to enable continuous learning and improvement. The four structural elements of our Field Leadership Program are: – Layered Audits – test the system of work through a structured, narrow and deep assessment and are performed by two levels of leadership. – Critical Control Observations – a way for leaders to verify that workers understand the material risks and controls relating to a task they are performing and have checked the controls are present, effective and enough to keep them safe, and that they know what to do when things change. – Planned Task Confirmations – an approach to verify how work is actually performed versus how it is intended to be done in accordance with written documentation, and to understand if there is work variation, improvement opportunities or gaps that may require action. – Take Time Talks – quality engagements between leaders and peers or between peers that create a safe and inclusive environment for the workforce to share how they execute work, including any concerns and/ or improvement opportunities. In FY2025, we: – co-designed safety and field leadership improvement opportunities with the BOS Centre of Excellence, including field leadership Role Confirmations to build capability and support quality engagements. – developed an improved methodology for having Take Time Talk 'two-way' conversations using a new approach that embraces care, curiosity and humility to uplift the way we can learn from everyday successful work, with lessons from these engagements shared at pre-start meetings. – enhanced the quality of coaching through our 'coaching to grow' model. – incorporated lessons from high potential events into field leadership Layered Audits.

The BHP Group Modern Slavery Statement 2025 is available at bhp.com/MSS2025 Presentation of sustainability-related data and information for acquisitions and divestments For comparative period sustainability-related data and information included in this Report (including OFR 8 and 9), unless expressly stated otherwise in the relevant section (i) FY2024 data and information includes the former OZ Minerals operations that form part of our Copper South Australia asset and the West Musgrave Project (acquired as part of BHP's acquisition of OZ Minerals on 2 May 2023); (ii) data and information for pre-FY2024 comparative periods has not been adjusted and restated in relation to former OZ Minerals' operations and functions; and (iii) data and information for pre-FY2025 comparative periods has been adjusted and restated to exclude the Daunia and Blackwater mines, which were divested by BMA on 2 April 2024. While some of the land and tenements related to the Daunia and Blackwater mines were held by BMA pending transfer following completion, and certain land areas overlapping Blackwater remain held by BMA subject to transfer, given the Daunia and Blackwater mines were not under BMA's control or operated for BMA's benefit (except for periods prior to completion or where expressly stated in the relevant section), FY2025 data related to the land and tenements has been excluded from this Report (as well as from pre-FY2025 comparative periods, as described above). Sustainability-related data and information relating to the OZ Minerals Brazil assets has been excluded from this Report unless expressly stated otherwise in the relevant section. Where data from OZ Minerals Brazil assets is included as required to meet legal and regulatory requirements or as necessary to meet applicable voluntary standards and benchmarks, that data has been prepared in accordance with former OZ Minerals standards (i) for the Centro Gold assets until completion of its divestment of 20 December 2024 and such data is included up until that date only; and (ii) for all remaining assets while we considered strategic options for divestment of these assets.

BHP Annual Report 2025 9 Sustainability continued 9.2 Sustainability governance Board The BHP Board is responsible for overseeing our approach to sustainability and sustainability performance, including the topics of safety, health, community, environment and climate change. All four standing Board Committees support the Board's oversight of sustainability-related issues, including climate-related risks (threats and opportunities). Sustainability topics considered by the Board during FY2025 included climate change and environment-related topics, which were regularly on the agenda for Board meetings and considered as part of strategic discussions. In FY2025, the Board reviewed and approved public sustainability targets, goals and disclosures, progress against our social value scorecard 2030 goals (including climate-related), key metrics and milestones, received progress updates against our public climate-related targets and goals, and considered applicable sustainability-related issues when assessing corporate strategy and portfolio options, certain investment requests, risk and policy settings. The Board and each of its Committees, as relevant, are informed on sustainability-related matters through Board papers, progress updates from management, material risk reports and presentations. The Board receives reports from the Chair of each Committee following Committee meetings. Sustainability-related topics are also incorporated into Director induction programs, ongoing training and site visits to assist Directors in their oversight. For information on BHP's governance structure, including the work of the Board and each its Committees with respect to climate change, refer to the Corporate Governance Statement Management Management plays a key role in assessing and managing sustainability-related matters, which includes: – The CEO and ELT execute sustainability-related policies and strategy approved by the Board and are accountable for performance and achievement of BHP's sustainability-related commitments, targets and goals, including our climate change targets and goals. – The Operating Committee (OpCo) is a sub-committee established by the CEO pursuant to the Executive Leadership Team Charter to assist the CEO and the ELT in delivering BHP's operational commitments and supporting excellent operational performance. – The focus of the OpCo is on fostering a culture of safety and performance across BHP. The sub-committee conducts ongoing systematic analysis and review of enterprise-level operational performance, especially in safety, production and cost, to identify performance gaps and uplift opportunities, including sustainability matters. – Oversight of sustainability-related topics transitioned from the ESG and Sustainability Steering Committee in early FY2025 to the ELT, assisted by the OpCo. On a quarterly basis, ESG and sustainability-related topics are discussed at either the ELT and/or the OpCo. – Group Officers, including the Group Sustainability and Social Value Officer and Group Health, Safety and Security Officer, are direct reports of relevant ELT members and are responsible for monitoring and driving our sustainability strategy, including safety, climate change and environment-related considerations, within the broader BHP strategy and portfolio evaluation. – Management is supported by BHP's asset and function teams such as the Group Sustainability and Social Value team and the Risk team. The ELT, the OpCo and relevant members of management receive regular progress and performance reports from asset and function teams on sustainability-related matters. For climate change and environment-related matters, this includes operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, operational and value chain GHG emission reduction activities, adaptation strategy-related activities, management of climate-related risks (threats and opportunities), water stewardship and implementation of the BHP Healthy environment goal roadmap. In addition, sustainability-related matters, including progress towards our climate change targets and goals, are discussed by the ELT and OpCo throughout the year as specific agenda items and as part of strategic discussions. 9.3 Material sustainability topics (including human rights) Annual sustainability materiality assessment Each year we undertake an impact materiality assessment in alignment with GRI recommendations to determine which sustainability topics are most material to our business, partners and stakeholders for the purpose of our sustainability-related reporting (which may differ from the materiality standards applied by other reporting regimes). These are referred to as our material sustainability topics. The topics in FY2025 are similar to those we disclosed in FY2024, with the addition of value chain sustainability and tailings storage facilities. Our material sustainability topics are reviewed by the Sustainability Committee annually. For more information on our materiality assessment for sustainability reporting refer to bhp.com/sustainability approach/materiality-assessment For more information on the process by which we identify and manage risk at BHP and our risk factors, which include sustainability-related risks, refer to OFR 7 and OFR 11 Material topics and impacts for sustainability reporting Social value pillar Material topic SDG Index OFR 9.8 Climate change Climate Decarbonisation change OFR 9.9 Biodiversity Biodiversity Healthy environment OFR 9.9 Water Water OFR 9.12 Indigenous Indigenous peoples peoples Indigenous partnerships OFR 8 Safety Safety Safe, inclusive OFR 9.5 and future-ready People People workforce OFR 9.6 Health Health OFR 9.11 Community Community Thriving, empowered communities OFR 9.13 Value chain Value chain sustainability Responsible sustainability supply chains Other Tailings OFR 9.10 Tailings storage facilities storage facilities Ethics and OFR 9.7 Ethics business conduct and business conduct Respecting human rights We recognise we have the potential to cause, contribute to or be directly linked to human rights impacts through our operations and supply chain. This primarily relates to workplace health and safety, labour rights, activities of security providers, land access and use, water and sanitation, community wellbeing, and Indigenous peoples' rights relating to culture, identity, traditions and customs. Our Human Rights Policy Statement and relevant Global Standards outline our commitment and approach to respecting human rights and the principles by which we conduct our human rights due diligence.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information In FY2025, several initiatives were progressed to further strengthen our human rights approach: – Personnel responsible for human rights policy, assurance and advocacy were restructured within a newly merged Ethics, Compliance and Human Rights team under the leadership of a new Chief Ethics, Compliance and Human Rights Officer. This consolidation is intended to strengthen second line human rights governance and assurance. – The team completed an internal assurance activity in late FY2025 focused on community grievance mechanisms at our operated assets. Findings focused on opportunities to enhance accessibility and improve our internal data and reporting evaluation practices. – A cross-functional Human Rights Working Group was established. In FY2025, the working group completed an annual review of our Human Rights Policy Statement, in which no substantive changes were made and assessed our human rights approach against the ICMM Human Rights Due Diligence Guidance Maturity Matrix with assistance from an external human rights specialist. – With the support of a human rights expert, we reviewed and updated our procedures and human rights due diligence tools for our growth context. – Several human rights-focused training sessions were made available for targeted personnel, particularly those supporting BHP's growth activities, to strengthen internal human rights capability. – We progressed the design of a revised methodology to incorporate expert feedback on our community and human rights impact and opportunity assessments. This follows the FY2023 pilot of the globally consistent methodology for these assessments and external expert review of the methodology in FY2024. Once completed, the redesigned assessments are expected to be implemented across each of our operated assets from FY2026. For information on our approach to addressing modern slavery risks in our operations and supply chains refer to the BHP Group Modern Slavery Statement 2025 available at bhp.com/MSS2025 9.4 2030 goals and social value scorecard Our social value scorecard We provide progress on our 2030 goals through our annual social value scorecard. The scorecard is intended to evolve over time as our plans mature and to keep pace with relevant changes in our internal and external environment. Our FY2025 scorecard performance and our new key metrics for the Thriving, empowered communities and Responsible supply chains pillars and FY2026 short-term milestones for all the pillars are provided on page 32. For more information on our progress and pathway to 2030 refer to the relevant sections of OFR 9. For more information on how the key metrics and annual milestones support progress towards our 2030 goals and the methods we use to measure progress refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025 Social investment Guided by our social value framework, our social investment aims to make a meaningful contribution to addressing sustainable development challenges of most relevance to our business, partners and stakeholders. In FY2025, our voluntary social investment totalled US$127.8 million. This investment consisted of US$92.5 million in direct funding for initiatives in line with our social value framework, US$19.7 million to non-operated joint venture social investment programs and US$1.3 million under the BHP Matched Giving Program. Administrative costs to facilitate social investment activities totalled US$8.6 million and US$5.7 million supported the operations of the BHP Foundation. Of the US$92.5 million in direct funding, US$70.1 million was in support of our host communities and Indigenous partners, and we provided US$13.9 million towards training and skills programs. For more information on our social investment, including case studies and performance against our global social investment indicators, refer to bhp.com/sustainability/approach/social-investment For more information on the BHP Foundation refer to bhp.com/bhp-foundation.org These footnotes refer to the following page 1. With widespread adoption expected post 2030. 2. For the definition of the terms used to express these positions, including 'target', 'goal', 'net zero', 'carbon neutral' and 'operational GHG emissions' refer to Additional information 10.4. For more information on the essential definitions, assumptions and adjustments for our targets and goals refer to Climate-related Metrics, targets and goals in OFR 9.8. 3. Baseline year and performance data adjusted; for the adjustments we make, refer to Climate-related metrics, targets and goals beginning on page 48 in OFR 9.8. 4. CY2008 was selected as the baseline year for this goal to align with the base year for the International Maritime Organisation's CY2030 emission intensity goal and its corresponding reasoning and strategy. Baseline and performance data have been adjusted to only include voyages associated with the transportation of commodities currently in BHP's portfolio due to the data availability challenges of adjusting by asset or operation for CY2008 and subsequent year data. GHG emissions intensity calculations currently include the transportation of copper, iron ore, steelmaking coal, energy coal, molybdenum, uranium and nickel. 5. Excluding in-kind contributions. 6. Nature-positive is defined by the TNFD Glossary version 1.0 as 'A high-level goal and concept describing a future state of nature (e.g. biodiversity, ecosystem services and natural capital) which is greater than the current state'. We understand it to include land and water management practices that halt and reverse nature loss – that is, supporting healthy, functioning ecosystems. We are monitoring the evolving external nature landscape, including developments in nature frameworks, standards and methodologies and in definition of the global nature ambition. 7. Excluding areas we hold under greenfield exploration licences (or equivalent tenements), which are outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations. 30 per cent will be calculated based on the areas of land and water that we steward at the end of FY2030. For more information refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025. 8. Area under stewardship that has a formal management plan that includes conservation, restoration or regenerative practices. 1.54 per cent is calculated based on the areas of land and water that we stewarded at 30 June 2025, as per footnote 7. For more information refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025, available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025. 9. Natural capital accounts are a way to measure the amount, condition and value of environmental assets in a given area. They help describe changes in ecosystems and how these impact wellbeing and economies. 10. For more information regarding the BHP Healthy environment goal roadmap refer to OFR 9.9. 11. Point in time data at 30 June 2025. 12. 9.0 per cent refers to Indigenous employee participation at Minerals Australia operations. Total Indigenous employee participation in Australia, including non-operational roles, was 8.2 per cent at 30 June 2025. 13. 17.8 per cent refers to Indigenous employee participation at the Jansen potash project and operation in Canada. 14. 10.5 per cent refers to Indigenous employee participation at Minerals Americas operations in Chile. 15. We have published regional Indigenous Peoples Plans in Australia and Canada and data is available to report on progress in FY2025. We are still developing our regional Indigenous Peoples Plan for Chile. For more information refer to OFR 9.12 and the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025. 16. The relationship health assessment is intended to be conducted every three years. Indigenous partners who participated in the relationship health assessment project in FY2024 considered and provided feedback on social, cultural and commercial aspects of their relationship with BHP and provided a rating on the present health of their relationship with BHP, which was reported in our FY2024 social value scorecard. We plan to report again against this metric in FY2027. 17. Cultural diversity in our workforce will be measured based on our substantive progress towards reflecting the cultural diversity of the societies where we operate. 18. High-potential injury frequency rate is the number of employee and contractor high potential injuries per 1 million hours worked and is measured by year-on-year improvement. 19. Metric will not be reported from FY2026. For FY2026 to FY2030, key metrics for the Thriving, empowered communities pillar will shift to focus on the measurable outcomes of co-created community programs, while co-creation and co-design (terms which we use interchangeably) as a concept will continue to apply where appropriate across the full framework. 20. Co-design requires meaningful engagement and contribution to the plan from a variety of interested stakeholders. For an overview of our approach to co-design and co-creation (terms which we use interchangeably) refer to OFR 9.12. 21. This includes contribution to suppliers, wages and benefits for employees, dividends, taxes, royalties and other payments to governments and voluntary social investment. For more information refer to the BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 available at bhp.com/ECR2025. 22. Community programs that benefit local communities that host our activities. For education and skills programs, some program participants may join the BHP workforce on completion of the program. 23. Net Promoter Scores (NPS) show respective feedback from our customers and suppliers and measure the willingness of our customers/suppliers to recommend BHP to others. NPS is used as a proxy for gauging overall satisfaction. The NPS survey is conducted every two years, and therefore is no update to the data in FY2025. This metric will not be reported on from FY2026 in this social value scorecard. We intend to publish data from the next NPS survey in the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2026. 24. A credible responsible production and sourcing standard refers to one that is internationally recognised spanning multiple regions as outlined in OFR 9.13. 25. BHP's ethical trade audit program is managed as part of our broader Ethical Supply Chain and Transparency Framework. For more information on this framework and associated activities, including baseline data, refer to the BHP Group Modern Slavery Statement 2025 available at bhp.com/MSS2025. 26. The pilot impact project involves partnering with an NGO to deliver programs within our supply network designed to promote responsible recruitment and improve labour monitoring, worker voice and access to grievance mechanisms. 27. 'In-scope' BHP operated assets refer specifically to Australian assets as defined under the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) membership commitment.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 9.5 People Our more than 90,000 employees and contractors globally form the foundation of our business. We strive to attract and retain the best people. Through the BHP Operating System (BOS), we empower our people to continuously improve and achieve excellence in their work every day. Our Values set the tone for our culture, and are a unique part of our competitive advantage. Our Values are a declaration of what we stand for and guide our decision-making, reinforce our culture and help ensure our people deliver on our Purpose. Developing our capabilities and an enabled culture We invest in our people to build capability and drive stronger performance. BHP's early career and training pathways provide accredited maintenance and production traineeships or apprenticeships to new employees, including those new to our industry. Once qualified, employees move to one of our operated assets. During FY2025, the Transition to Trade program was introduced in Minerals Australia allowing those who have successfully completed the Maintenance Associate program to complete a trade qualification in 12 to 18 months, splitting time between the FutureFit Academy, BHP's purpose-built learning centre, and practical work on site. In Canada, we launched the BHP Potash Academy in partnership with the Carlton Trial College in Humboldt. Once qualified, the inaugural cohort of trainees will transition to various roles at our Jansen operations. BHP continues to invest in future talent through our intern and graduate programs. In FY2025: – In partnership with the Minerals Council of Australia, BHP sponsored 40 first-year university students for a two-week immersive experience across Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. – An additional 163 university students participated in internship placements, gaining practical experience on mine sites. Interns are given early access to apply for graduate roles. – A total of 146 graduate program participants commenced across Australia, Chile and Canada. In FY2025, around 1,950 current and potential leaders, participated in the BHP Distinctive Leaders programs. These programs develop leaders' abilities to lead through complexity, ethically and inclusively. We also held monthly Senior Leadership Forums and a Leadership summit in late FY2025 to further engage and align senior leaders in our purpose and strategy. Our Integrated Leadership Forum provides quarterly masterclasses and an annual forum for operational general managers. Western Australia Nickel (WAN) transitioned into temporary suspension in FY2025. Supporting our workforce and local communities to safely transition operations was a crucial part of this change. WAN met the commitment to provide redeployment opportunities for its frontline workforce. Overall, around 1,400 employees were made offers of redeployment across BHP, with the majority transitioning to WAIO. Where redeployment was either not suitable or available, individuals were supported through proactive career coaching and professional outplacement services to assist with their transition. As at 30 June 2025, around 360 employees remain at WAN to maintain the asset. Twice a year we ask our employees and contractors about their experiences working with BHP via an Engagement and Perception Survey. After each survey, team leaders evaluate strengths and areas for improvement, while the results measure wellbeing progress under the Safe, Inclusive and Future-ready workforce pillar of BHP's social value scorecard. In March 2025, we had an 88 per cent employee response rate, with 21,000 contractors also providing feedback. Of these, 83 per cent responded favourably to engagement and connection questions, compared to 80 per cent in FY2024 and 88 per cent responded favourably to wellbeing questions, compared to 87 per cent in FY2024. Achieving excellence by unlocking inclusion We believe an inclusive and diverse workforce promotes engagement, safety and productivity, and is valued by current and prospective employees. Our aspiration is to attract and retain an inclusive workforce. Our Inclusion and Diversity Position Statement guides our commitment to deliver on inclusion, equity and diversity. Since 2016, our work to create safe and inclusive workplaces has included flexible working, ensuring our facilities and equipment are fit for everyone, and work to reduce bias in our systems. Gender balance1,2 In April 2025, we achieved our aspirational goal set in CY2016 to achieve gender balance within our employee workforce globally by the end of CY2025. We are the first global, listed mining company to achieve this milestone. We define gender balance as a minimum 40 per cent women and 40 per cent men in line with the definitions used by entities such as the International Labour Organization. The gender balance of our employee workforce is a key metric in the Safe, Inclusive and Future-ready workforce pillar in our social value scorecard. As at 30 June 2025, women represented 41.3 per cent of our employee workforce, more than double the representation compared to 2016 (17.6 per cent) when we first set our gender balance aspiration. We increased the representation of women working at BHP in FY2025 by 4.2 percentage points compared to FY2024, with around 12,400 more female employees at the end of FY2025 than FY2016. In FY2025, our new hires were 63.3 per cent women and female representation in leadership roles increased by 4.8 per cent compared to FY2024. As at 30 June 2025, 36.5 per cent of people leaders were women, while senior executives included 41.3 per cent women. We recognise pay is a critical mechanism for creating gender equality. To help mitigate gender pay disparities and avoid pay gaps, we continue to drive improvements in our systems and processes to mitigate the risk of systemic bias. Our FY2025 employee remuneration data, including a breakdown by gender, is included in the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025. Gender composition of employees, leaders and the Board1,3,4 Employees People leaders Executive leadership team Board members FY2025 58.7% 63.5% 50% 56% 41.3% 36.5% 50% 44% FY2024 62.9% 68.3% 50% 60% 37.1% 31.7% 50% 40% FY2023 64.8% 70.3% 50% 60% 35.2% 29.7% 50% 40% Male Female 1. Based on a 'point in time' snapshot of employees as at 30 June 2025, including employees on extended absence, as used in internal management reporting for the purposes of monitoring progress against our goals. 2. New hires are based on a 12-month period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. 'People leaders' are defined as employees with one or more direct reports. 'Senior executives' are defined as employees in the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and direct reports to the ELT in grade 15 and above roles. 3. For FY2023, this included employees of BHP Mitsubishi Alliance's Blackwater and Daunia operations, sold to Whitehaven Coal during FY2024. 4. For FY2023, some of our employees did not identify as male or female (<0.1 per cent of total employees). These employees were excluded from data presented in the gender composition graphs to protect the privacy of those employees.

BHP Annual Report 2025 9 Sustainability continued Indigenous employment Our Indigenous Peoples Policy Statement acknowledges our role in improving economic outcomes for Indigenous peoples. We aim to achieve this through our regional Indigenous Peoples Plans by providing opportunities for employment, training, procurement and support for Indigenous enterprises. We have set targets to increase Indigenous employment opportunities in our Minerals Australia operations, Minerals Americas operations in Chile and our Jansen potash project in Canada. In FY2025, Minerals Americas operations in Chile increased their Indigenous employee participation to 10.5 per cent, having achieved their target of 10 per cent in FY2024. In Canada and Minerals Australia, we are on track to achieve our targets in FY2026 and FY2027 respectively (see the below infographic). Indigenous employee participation is a key metric in the Indigenous partnerships pillar of our social value scorecard. In FY2025, we identified opportunities in our employment ecosystem to better support Indigenous Australians through our people processes, including selection, development and career progression. In Minerals Australia we also established a systematic network of Indigenous support liaisons across our Australian assets to improve day-to-day experiences for Indigenous employees and enhance leaders' cultural competence. In Canada, the BHP Potash Academy, graduate and student programs are designed to help Indigenous peoples enter the mining industry.

Point in time data at 30 June 2025. 2. Indigenous employee participation overall in Australia at 30 June 2025 was 8.2 per cent, including Minerals Australia operations, 9.0 per cent Indigenous, and non-operational locations, 2.0 per cent Indigenous. For more information on our 2030 goals related to Indigenous partnerships refer to OFR 9.12 Cultural diversity and racial equity Racism has no place at BHP. We acknowledge racism's impact on identity, value, respect and psychological safety. We are working to promote racial awareness in our workplace and recognise there is more still to do. In FY2025: – Our Inclusion and Diversity Champion, Chika Onyeogaziri, received recognition from the Queensland Resource Council and Women in Mining and Resource Queensland for her outstanding work fostering inclusion and diversity. – We developed our Indigenous Cultural Respect Framework (ICRF), which drives cultural capability through learning experiences across Minerals Australia. – Employees around the world joined our International Day of Elimination of Racism event. LGBT+ inclusion Our LGBT+ ally employee group, Jasper, is open to all our workforce and is an extension of our inclusion and diversity aspirations to help our employees develop a strong sense of belonging in and outside of BHP. By the end of FY2025 its membership base grew to around 3,000. We are the proud sponsors of Pride Western Australia, the Pinnacle Foundation and Pride Professionals. In FY2025, BHP in Australia was awarded gold status at the Australian Workplace Equality Index Awards. In Chile, we achieved our second Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Equidad certification for our commitment to LGBT+ inclusion and we were awarded the 'Best Place to Work' seal by the HRC. Disability In FY2025, BHP launched our global Disability Action Plan, aimed at empowering our employees with disabilities. This plan is built around three strategic pillars: people, culture and systems. The goal is to recognise the unique needs and strengths of each person and to systematically eliminate barriers, as part of our efforts to ensure equal participation for people with disabilities in the workforce. In Chile, legislation requires that our workforce comprises at least 1 per cent of people with disability. As of 30 June 2025, people with disabilities represented 2.5 per cent of our Chilean workforce. Support violence for employees affected by family and domestic BHP's Family and Domestic Violence Assistance Program aims to provide employees with support for their health, safety, wellbeing and independence if they are experiencing family and domestic violence. Support includes up to 10 days of paid leave per annum (in addition to other leave entitlements) if they are affected by family and domestic violence, or to support someone who is. Emergency accommodation, emergency financial help and access to safety and security plans are made available. Safety measures, such as transport to and from work, changing location of work, setting up new phone numbers, screening/ blocking calls and emails, and access to legal advice are also considered in this support. Employee relations In Australia, recent significant industrial relations legislative reforms have introduced changes to the enterprise bargaining framework, which are having an impact on BHP, including by increasing labour costs. Unions in WAIO have unilaterally commenced bargaining. The Fair Work Commission will issue 13 Regulated Labour Hire Arrangement Orders that will require two labour hire providers and Operations Services to pay their employees performing work at BMA mines Goonyella Riverside, Peak Downs and Saraji mines at least the relevant rate of pay in the BMA Enterprise Agreement 2022. As BHP considers that Operations Services is a mining services contractor and so is exempt from becoming subject to Orders, BHP is seeking Federal Court judicial review of this outcome. An Order is already in effect at Mt Arthur Coal, requiring a labour hire provider to pay at least the relevant rate of pay in the Mt Arthur Coal Enterprise Agreement 2023. We will continue to monitor the application of the reforms to further assess their impacts on BHP and our contracting partners, including the potential impact on labour costs. In Chile, pension reform was approved in January 2025. This will result in a 7 per cent company contribution (pre-tax and additional to the current 1.5 per cent for disability insurance), which will be gradually increased over nine years starting from August 2025. The 40-hour work week regulation, enacted in April 2023, will continue its gradual implementation over the next four years to transition from 45 to 40 working hours per week. During FY2025, implementation occurred through agreements reached as part of union negotiations. In June 2025, following a legal dispute regarding a non-regulated bargaining process in 2019, Escondida was notified of a ruling ordering the seizure of CLP $8.5 million in bonuses. Deductions to impacted employees will occur for at least four months. Progress on various other legal developments that may affect employee relations in Chile is being monitored, including remuneration gender equity branch negotiation regulation, and litigation seeking to treat various BHP entities as a single employer for labour, social security and union purposes. During FY2025, Minerals Australia participated in seven collective bargaining processes, with three enterprise agreements completed. There are 24 currently in operation, with a new agreement pending approval from the Fair Work Commission and another new agreement in the early stages of bargaining. In Minerals Australia, a small number of Operations Services employees in our BMA operations took protected industrial action during some shifts at various BMA sites over eight days between October 2024 and February 2025, causing minimal operational impact.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Minerals Americas in Chile reached collective agreements with two operators and maintainers unions at Escondida. A third union of remote operators moved to a regulated negotiation phase after an unregulated and voluntary negotiation did not reach conclusion. Our Escondida operations experienced no significant safety events and minimal operational and financial impact during a three-day stoppage in FY2025. In Canada, Minerals Americas have begun on-boarding the first cohort of our Jansen potash project operational workforce to support readiness for operations. Payroll review Review of employee allowances and entitlements In FY2023, we identified and disclosed two issues with certain allowances and entitlements affecting some current and former employees in Australia. We self-reported these issues to Australia's Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO). We are sorry that this happened and we remain committed to making this right. In response to these issues, we formed a dedicated team to progress a remediation program and begin a range of work to improve our global pay performance and compliance. Remediation of identified issues We established a dedicated hotline and secure online portal to support affected current and former employees and facilitate remediation transactions. The first issue involved certain employees having leave incorrectly deducted on public holidays. We identified approximately 35,500 current and former employees who were affected by this issue, dating back to 2010. In addition to recrediting leave hours to approximately 19,000 current employees, we have made payments to approximately 85 per cent (over 14,000) of affected former employees. We have been working to locate and register affected former employees for payment, including by direct letter, email and phone calls, social media contact, and media advertising. Any remaining former employees who think they may be affected by these issues but have not received communications from us are encouraged to contact us via the hotline or portal available on our website. We are working to close out this issue, including associated impacts relating to unpaid leave and coal long service leave. We expect to complete this work in FY2026. For more information refer to bhp.com/payroll-review The second issue involved certain current and former employees at WAIO in Port Hedland who are entitled to additional allowances. We are continuing to pay additional allowances to affected current employees. We have completed remediation payments to affected current and former employees for historical impacts. Improving our pay compliance During the year we progressed with our multi-year, integrated program of work to improve our global pay compliance, including embedding improved governance and controls, and continuing to invest in the right capabilities to meet the needs of the company into the future. Global assurance firm, Protiviti, completed a review of our payroll systems in FY2025 and their recommendations have been addressed in completed or planned improvement work. We also launched a new Pay Compliance Standard in FY2025 to support improved pay governance and controls. As part of this program, we are continuing historical pay assurance work across our Australian operations and will conduct further remediation as necessary. Based on the currently available information, remediation costs remain in line with the previously recognised US$280 million pre-tax, as reflected in the Group's FY2023 financial results. This program of work will continue in FY2026. Our engagement with the FWO and other relevant government agencies will continue as we progress this work. 9.6 Health We set mandatory standards to identify, assess and manage health risks and their potential impacts, and monitor the health of our employees and contractors. Occupational exposures BHP seeks to reduce occupational exposures to as low as reasonably practicable. Where there is a potential for our employees and contractors to be exposed to chemical and physical hazards, we implement controls designed to prevent, minimise, and/or mitigate the likelihood and severity of potential associated health impacts. These controls may include the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) until appropriate, higher order controls have been identified, implemented and verified to consistently reduce exposure below occupational exposure limits (OELs). Our OELs are set by reference to the level of permissible exposure for a length of time to a chemical or physical hazard that is assessed as not likely to affect the health of a worker, according to scientific evidence and regulatory requirements. Exposure data in this report is presented without considering the use of PPE, which is required to be worn as outlined in our Health Global Standard to reduce exposure. In FY2025, we recorded an overall 13 per cent decrease in the number of employees and contractors potentially exposed to diesel particulate matter (DPM) and respirable crystalline silica (RCS) compared to FY2024. This included a 73 per cent decrease in the number of employees and contractors with potential exposure to DPM and a 35 per cent increase in the number of employees and contractors potentially exposed to RCS. The increase in potential RCS exposures is primarily due to the inclusion of the recently acquired Copper South Australia operations within BHP reporting. Opportunities to improve control frameworks and hygiene practices at Prominent Hill and Carrapateena operations have been identified. We are pursuing both short- and long-term initiatives to reduce potential exposures, such as improvements to underground ventilation systems. We continue to implement exposure reduction plans for RCS at our operated assets with a focus on engineering solutions to sustainably control exposure. At BMA, dust extraction systems have been implemented to remove dust build-up in mining haul truck electrical cabinets. Wet cleaning methods and vacuum systems have been implemented at NSWEC to reduce potential exposure for cleaning and maintenance teams. At WAIO, portable extraction ventilation and dust suppression is in place for drilling personnel. From December 2026, new lower exposure limits based on Australian legislation are expected to be adopted throughout Australia. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of OEL changes and implement appropriate action as required. We are committed to having no fatalities and life-threatening illness events connected with occupational exposures at BHP, and managing any risks of life-altering injuries and illnesses. Due to the latency between initial exposure and diagnosis of disease for our most material airborne contaminant exposures, we must continue to reduce potential exposure and monitor the effectiveness of controls where reduction of potential exposure is not reasonably practicable.

BHP Annual Report 2025 9 Sustainability continued Potential exposure reduction trend over time1,2,3,4 1,500 1,200 900 600 300 0 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 FY2025 Coal mine dust exposures Silica exposures DPM (Diesel) exposures 1. Prior year data (FY2021 to FY2023) excludes former OZ Minerals Australian assets (acquired 2 May 2023), which is included for FY2024 and FY2025. Prior year data (FY2021 to FY2023) also excludes (entirely) divested operations as follows: BHP Mitsui Coal (divested on 3 May 2022) and BHP's oil and gas portfolio (merger with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022). 2. Occupational exposure data is presented without considering protection from the use of personal protective equipment (where required as outlined in the Health Global Standard). The data excludes Projects. 3. As of FY2021, the OEL limit for Coal was reduced to 1.5 mg/m3 compared to 2.0mg/m3 in previous years. 4. As of January 2024, the OEL for welding fumes within Australia was reduced to 1mg/m3 compared to 5mg/m3 in previous years. Occupational exposure hazard awareness and training is provided at induction and periodically, including during fit testing for hearing protection and respiratory protective devices. These devices are mandated for certain job tasks as a control to reduce risk from potential exposure to relevant hazards. After workers take part in occupational exposure assessment programs, they receive written feedback on their results and anonymised data is provided to line management. Following the implementation of real-time monitoring at some of our operated assets, we have improved data visibility through digital platforms to enhance user experience and functionality. This helps our people to anticipate, assess and verify effectiveness of occupational exposure controls. Occupational illness The reported occurrence of occupational illness for employees in FY2025 was 319, or 4.64 per million hours worked. This represented a 14 per cent increase compared with FY2024. For our contractor workforce, the reported occupational illness in FY2025 was 234, or 1.94 per million hours worked, a 8 per cent increase from FY2024. Musculoskeletal illness was the predominant occupational illness for employees and contractors, representing 64 per cent of our workforce illnesses in FY2025. This includes damage to bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and soft tissues caused by repetitive heavy work, muscular strain or maintaining poor postures for extended periods of time. Noise-induced hearing loss represented 10 per cent of occupational illnesses in FY2025. Employees and contractors exposed to noise levels above the defined workplace exposure limits in our Health Global Standard participate in hearing conservation programs, which include a periodic hearing test and hearing protection fit testing. We have implemented established design recommendations that seek to eliminate or reduce high or prolonged noise exposures as far as reasonably practicable by focusing on the noise source. Heat stress contributed to 4 per cent of our reported occupational illnesses in FY2025. Elevated temperatures and strenuous activity place some of our workforce at increased risk of heat illness. High-risk work groups are identified, and controls are in place to manage heat stress. Hydration testing is in place at operations with high heat risk. Our operated assets exposed to extreme climatic conditions have additional support to help prevent heat-related illness. 1. CMDLD is the name given to the lung diseases related to exposure to coal mine dust and includes coal workers' pneumoconiosis, silicosis, mixed dust pneumoconiosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 2. Cases reported to Workers' Compensation Regulatory Services are not an indication that the CMDLD was related to work. BHP evaluates each case for work-relatedness and, where identified, the case will be included in occupational illness reporting. Coal mine dust lung disease We have controls in place at all our relevant operated assets with the goal of ensuring no employees or contractors are exposed to respirable coal mine dust (CMD) above the OEL. We continue to identify and progress projects, such as enhancing our real-time dust monitoring, to identify when the working environment may present a hazard, allowing us to address the issue. We prioritise controls that are most effective, such as dust suppression and dust extraction engineering controls, to eliminate or reduce potential exposures as far as reasonably practicable instead of relying on controls that are less effective, such as respiratory protection. We have observed consistent control of CMD exposures with no employees or contractors potentially exposed to CMD above the OEL since FY2021. In FY2025, 21 cases of coal mine dust lung disease (CMDLD)1 were reported to the Workers' Compensation Regulatory Services.2 There was one claim accepted for a current BHP employee. For cases involving current employees, we offer counselling, medical support and redeployment options where relevant. Former employees may be eligible for workers' compensation insurance and their associated care is managed externally to BHP. Physical and mental health The physical and psychological health and wellbeing of our workforce is paramount. We continue to enhance the inclusivity and future-readiness of our employees and contractors. We engage with initiatives such as 'Minding Mining Minds', which aims to develop tools and evidence-based models to build capability and share these learnings across industry, along with the Building Safe and Respectful Workplaces (BSRW) program, which strives to eliminate disrespectful behaviour in the resources industry, including sexual harassment, bullying and racism. In FY2025, we included the BSRW education into our global onboarding training, and we refreshed Our Code of Conduct training. We acknowledge the importance of effective fatigue management both at home and in the workplace. Fatigue is a known risk factor for workplace accidents and incidents. Our operated assets have fatigue management plans in place to provide guidance on how to manage and control risks associated with human fatigue. Key controls include managing work hours and providing sufficient opportunity for sleep, rest and recovery, along with self-assessment fatigue forms, monitoring of fatigue-related symptoms and reporting fatigue-related hazards where appropriate. Psychosocial harm We manage psychosocial harm as a health and safety risk for BHP. We have developed an organisation-wide psychosocial risk framework which helps our people identify and give feedback on their work environment and the psychosocial hazards they face and how they may impact psychological and physical health, to help us identify where harm may be occurring. Responsibility for managing psychosocial risk (including sexual harassment and racial harassment) is shared within BHP. The Group Health team is accountable for: – performing second-line assurance of BHP's performance against this risk – engaging with industry to share and learn best practice – supporting our operated assets and functions to progress improvements to control psychosocial risk Risk management Psychosocial harm risk assessments identify scenarios in which psychosocial hazards like sexual, racial or gendered harassment may arise, their potential causes and the controls we can implement to prevent and reduce the risk of harm as far as reasonably practicable. Some of our embedded psychosocial risk preventative and mitigating controls include: – mandatory training in our Our Code of Conduct for employees and contractors, with a focus on enacting and maintaining respectful behaviours – setting clear cultural expectations and leadership responsibilities – enhanced security at accommodation villages – alcohol management policies – data transparency and action – person-centred response and support – accessible and confidential reporting options and investigations, including multiple resolution options – appropriate and proportionate disciplinary action

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information During FY2025, we moved to a new global Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider, Converge International. Converge International provides a dedicated panel of psychologists who are trained in trauma-informed practices, each with more than five years of experience working with individuals impacted by sexual harassment. The new EAP provider also offers a broader range of holistic support services, including nutritional, career, financial, and legal counselling. This has enabled us to introduce specialist helplines, such as for domestic violence, Indigenous employee support and LGBT+ hotlines. For more information refer to cultural diversity and racial equity in OFR 9.5. Sexual harassment Sexual harassment has been defined as a health and safety risk at BHP since CY2018. In FY2025, we integrated sexual harassment into a broader focus on psychosocial harm risk. Sexual harassment is completely unacceptable at BHP. We focus on preventing sexual harassment by addressing the contributing factors while strengthening our ability to respond to incidents and intervene early. We consider impacted people at the centre of our response and seek to ensure they are supported and empowered. More broadly, we continue to build awareness and capability in psychosocial hazard identification and management into the way we work. We expect our employees and contractors to identify and call out disrespectful or harmful behaviours, including bullying, racism and sexual harassment. BHP's strategy to eliminate sexual harassment is underpinned by the Australian Human Rights Commission Guidelines for Complying with the Positive Duty under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth). In developing our strategy, we sought guidance from external experts, such as Kristen Hilton, Kate Jenkins AO along with the Queensland University of Technology. Reports of sexual harassment and racial harassment We encourage our workforce to report any concerns relating to disrespectful behaviours. We provide centralised and confidential reporting tools and mandatory reporting requirements for line leaders who are informed of serious concerns. Reports of sexual harassment and racial harassment are investigated by our specialised Response and Investigations team, which is a business unit independent of our operations. This team includes personnel trained in responding with a trauma-informed and person-centred approach. There was a 3 per cent increase of reports of sexual harassment from 417 in FY2024 to 429 in FY2025 and a 6 per cent decrease of reports of racial harassment from 109 in FY2024 to 103 in FY2025.1 These behaviours are unacceptable and BHP is continuing to work towards eliminating them. In FY2025, 53 per cent of sexual harassment reports and 52 per cent of racial harassment reports received into BHP's misconduct reporting channels were logged by managers or leaders on behalf of the workforce. During FY2025, 102 cases of sexual harassment2 and 24 cases of racial harassment were established following investigation across BHP's global operations, including conduct on-site, off-site and in offices.3 100 individuals responsible for sexual harassment and 20 responsible for racial harassment had their employment terminated (or were removed from site if a contractor) or resigned. Of the 102 established sexual harassment cases: – nil involved sexual assault – 31 involved sexualised and indecent touching – 36 involved sexually aggressive comments, stalking, grooming or image-based harassment – 33 involved other forms of sexual harassment, including sexualised conversations or jokes – 1 involved gender-based harassment – 1 involved creating a hostile work environment based on sex People who may have been impacted by sexual harassment and racial harassment are offered specialised support by the Ethics Support Service. The impacted person's preferences as well as the type and severity of the alleged misconduct are considered in determining the appropriate response, which may include an investigation, training, mediation, facilitated conversations and line leader intervention. Consistent with this, in FY2025 65 reports of sexual harassment and 24 reports of racial harassment were dealt with through non-investigative resolution pathways, instead of an investigation being conducted. There were also 141 reports of sexual harassment and 27 reports of racial harassment that were not investigated due to insufficient information or the wishes of the impacted person. Examples include anonymous reports and non-participation of the impacted person. Senior leadership and the Risk and Audit Committee of the Board receive reports with de-identified data on the number of complaints, nature of complaints, investigations and other resolution pathways, outcomes and timelines. For more information, refer to bhp.com/sustainability/safety-health/sexual-harassment 9.7 Ethics and business conduct Our conduct Our Code of Conduct (Our Code) helps us deliver on our purpose and make better decisions every day. It applies to everyone who works for us, with us or on our behalf. In March 2025, we relaunched a simplified and streamlined version of Our Code designed to support clearer values-driven decision-making. To assist our employees and contractors to understand how Our Code applies, regular mandatory training is undertaken. Breaching Our Code can result in serious consequences, including counselling, warnings and termination of employment. We encourage people to speak up where a decision or action is not in line with Our Code or Our Values. BHP treats reports of business conduct concerns with appropriate confidentiality and prohibits any kind of retaliation against people who make or may make a report (including reports to regulators), or who cooperate with an investigation. All forms of retaliation are considered misconduct and grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. We have policy and process documents to support a 'safe to speak up' culture, including our BHP Whistleblower Policy. Our Code is available in five languages and accessible at bhp.com/about/operating-ethically/our-code Our BHP Whistleblower Policy sets out additional information, including protections available to people who make eligible disclosures under Australian law, and is accessible at bhp.com/-media/documents/ ourapproach/operatingwithintegrity/taxandtransparency/240523_ bhpwhistleblowerpolicy Employees and contractors can raise their concerns through a number of channels (including anonymously) or through leaders. Anyone, including external partners, stakeholders and the public, can lodge a concern in the form of a report, either online in our channels to raise misconduct concerns or via the 24-hour, multilingual call service. Reports received are assessed by the Ethics and Investigations team, and where necessary the Legal or Compliance teams, to determine an appropriate response, which may include an investigation or other routes to resolution. In assessing this, BHP applies a proportionate and person-centred approach considering all participants. To continually improve our response to reports, feedback is regularly obtained from stakeholders, including case participants, external experts and management. Senior leaders and the Risk and Audit Committee of the Board receive quarterly reports including case metrics, outcomes and insights. In FY2025, 3,515 reports were received into BHP's channels for raising misconduct concerns.4,5 Of the total reports: – 37 per cent were raised by leaders on behalf of someone else. – Of the cases raised directly, 40 per cent were made anonymously.6 1. FY2024 and FY2025 data includes all former OZ Minerals Australian assets and OZ Minerals Brazil assets. 2. Sexual harassment is, as defined in the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth), an unwelcome sexual advance, unwelcome request for sexual favours or other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, in circumstances where a reasonable person, having regard to all the circumstances, would have anticipated the possibility that the person harassed would be offended, humiliated and/or intimidated. Sexual harassment encompasses a range of conduct, including displaying sexually graphic images, sexually suggestive comments, suggestive or inappropriate looks, gestures or staring, non-consensual touching or acts of a sexual nature and sexual assault. We note the definition of sexual harassment may vary in different jurisdictions. 3. This figure includes cases opened in FY2025 or earlier and closed in FY2025. 4. This excludes reports not containing a business conduct concern. 5. FY2024 and FY2025 data includes all former OZ Minerals Australian assets and OZ Minerals Brazil assets. 6. This excludes reports logged by leaders on behalf of others.

BHP Annual Report 2025 9 Sustainability continued Of the reports closed during FY2025, 33 per cent contained one or more established allegations.1 Business conduct concerns raised in FY20252,3 Disrespectful behaviours (including harassment and bullying) (1,873) 53.3% Sexual harassment (429) 12.2% Health, safety or environment breach (341) 9.7% Fraud (341) 9.7% Discrimination (188) 5.4% Cybersecurity, data privacy or intellectual property breach (153) 4.3% Racial harassment (103) 2.9% Other\* (87) 2.5% \* Other: This includes issues such as Retaliation for speaking up; Consensual relationship with power imbalance; Failure to Report Code of Conduct Breach; Attempting to identify an anonymous reporter; Improper political or governmental conduct; Trade control breach; Inappropriate investigator conduct in business conduct investigation. We have seen a 35 per cent decrease of harassment and bullying reports received from 2,870 in FY2024 to 1,873 in FY2025.2,3 BHP continues with ongoing focus on awareness, training and early resolution, supported by the development of a centralised site for information and guidance, contributing to consistent and informed reporting. Anti-corruption We continue our commitment to contribute to the global fight against corruption in the resources industry. Our commitment to anti-corruption is embodied in Our Charter and Our Code. To manage corruption risk, we work to achieve optimal resource allocation to areas of our business with the highest exposure to corruption risks. Identifying, assessing and managing corruption risks associated with growth opportunities remains a significant area of focus for our Compliance function. A sub-team is dedicated to supporting functions that are responsible for initiating transactions and growth opportunities in countries with higher corruption risks. Activities that potentially involve higher exposure to corruption risk require review or approval by our Compliance function, as documented in our anti-corruption compliance framework. In FY2025, we continued conducting monitoring focused on verifying the operation of anti-corruption controls in relation to higher risk relationships and activities, including the provision of community donations and sponsorships, identification and management of corruption risks relating to government officials and community leaders in the context of local procurement, and sole source procurement decisions. The monitoring utilises data analytics and AI to increase the effectiveness of the monitoring. In the newly merged Ethics, Compliance and Human Rights team, Compliance remains independent of our assets and regions. Our Chief Ethics, Compliance and Human Rights Officer reports quarterly to the Board Risk and Audit Committee on compliance issues and meets at least annually with the Risk and Audit Committee Chair. The Compliance team also participates in anti-corruption risk assessments of our operated assets or functions, our interests in non-operated assets and new business opportunities that may be exposed to material corruption risks. In FY2025, the team provided input into 21 anti-corruption risk assessments. Anti-corruption training is provided to all employees and contractors as part of mandatory regular training on Our Code. Our Compliance team also regularly engages with identified higher risk roles and provides additional risk-based anti-corruption training for employees, contractors and employees of some of our business partners and community partners. In FY2025, we deployed an updated anti-corruption electronic learning module, which incorporates new scenarios designed to reinforce understanding and support learning. In FY2025, additional risk-based anti-corruption training was undertaken by 1,675 employees and contractors.4 For more information on ethics and business conduct refer to bhp.com/ethics Transparency and accountability We support initiatives by governments of the countries where we operate to publicly disclose the content of our licences or contracts for the development and production of minerals that form the basis of our payments to government, as outlined in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Standard. We believe knowing who ultimately controls and benefits from a company helps to mange risk and strengthen accountability. In FY2025, we continued our support for ultimate beneficial ownership transparency consistent with applicable regulation, listing requirements and other expectations for EITI supporting companies. We publish information about how we use beneficial ownership information in our anti-corruption processes (refer to bhp.com/sustainability/ethics-business-conduct). In parallel, we continued to publish our list of entities in which BHP Group Limited's effective interest is 100 per cent and certain entities in which BHP Group Limited's effective interest is less than 100 per cent, including all controlled subsidiaries operating in the mining sectors, all mining operations joint ventures generating material revenue for BHP (and available information in relation to the other legal owners in these joint ventures) and entities in which we hold a partial interest (with some exclusions – refer to bhp.com/sustainability/ethics-business-conduct). Other initiatives include our representation on the Board of the EITI and financial support for Steering Committee membership of the Bribery Prevention Network (in Australia). 1. This figure includes cases opened in FY2025 or earlier and closed in FY2025. 2. This excludes reports not containing a business conduct concern. 3. FY2024 and FY2025 data includes all former OZ Minerals Australian assets and OZ Minerals Brazil assets. 4. This data includes OZ Minerals Brazil assets.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 9.8 Climate change We believe the warming of the climate is unequivocal, human influence is clear and physical climate-related impacts are unavoidable. We recognise the role we play in supporting the net zero transition the world must make. For our full position on climate change refer to bhp.com/climate Our disclosures and approach to reporting Climate Transition Action Plan In August 2024, we published our second Climate Transition Action Plan (CTAP 2024) that provides an overview of our climate change strategy, commitments, targets and goals and forward-looking plans. Our CTAP 2024 was approved by the Board, with its development and ongoing implementation governed by the Board and its Committees and management. This OFR 9.8 updates certain aspects of our assumptions and plans since our CTAP 2024 and describes our progress in FY2025 against the strategy and our GHG emissions targets and goals, commitments and key metrics. The climate change targets and goals published in our CTAP 2024 are unchanged. Financial Statements note 16 'Climate change' describes certain potential financial statement impacts, where material or relevant, of the assumptions, plans and actions of our climate change strategy and the consideration of climate-related risks in the assessment of significant areas of judgement and estimation in the financial statements. Our CTAP 2024 is available at bhp.com/CTAP2024 Given the global nature of our business, customers and supply chain, the development of our CTAP 2024 considered the goals of the Paris Agreement and the commitments and policy settings of relevant key jurisdictions at the time. Our global headquarters and some of our assets are located in Australia, which has a Long-Term Emissions Reduction Plan and legislated national targets to reduce Australia's net GHG emissions to 43 per cent below CY2005 levels by CY2030, and to achieve net zero GHG emissions by CY2050. We continue to monitor and take into consideration the evolving policy and regulatory landscape applicable to our operations as part of the periodic review by management and the Board of the appropriateness of and our progress towards our GHG emissions targets and goals.

BHP Annual Report 2025 9 Sustainability continued Climate-related governance Climate change and climate transition planning is a material governance and strategic issue for BHP, our Board and management as described in OFR 9.2. For more information on our governance of climate-related matters including risks (threats and opportunities) refer to our Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report Operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets) Performance and highlights – Based on what we know today and using current methodologies for GHG emission accounting, we remain on track to meet our medium-term target to reduce operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets) by at least 30 per cent by FY2030 from an FY2020 baseline (baseline year and performance data adjusted; for more information on the adjustments we make refer to Climate-related metrics, targets and goals in this OFR 9.8). We have not used carbon credits or applied offsetting in our assessment that we are on track to meet our medium-term target. – For FY2025, our operational GHG emissions were 36 per cent lower than our FY2020 baseline, a further 4 percent improvement against our FY2020 baseline compared to 32 per cent in FY2024 (baseline year and performance data adjusted). Operational GHG emissions in FY2025 were 8.7 MtCO2-e, which is 5 per cent less than operational emissions of 9.2 MtCO -e in FY2024 (performance data adjusted).1 2 Emissions reductions were largely driven by Western Australia Nickel operations going into temporary suspension and ongoing Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in execution. For more information on the calculation of our operational GHG emissions data and energy consumption data refer to Climate-related metrics, targets and goals in this OFR 9.8. – Our total operational energy consumption decreased by 7 per cent from FY2024, largely due to the temporary suspension of Western Australia Nickel. – Our Chilean operations are on track to achieve 100 per cent renewable electricity use in CY2025, as they have each calendar year since CY2022. – In FY2025, we signed a new seven-year PPA to achieve 100 per cent renewable energy at BMA from FY2027, based on forecasted operational electricity demand and when combined with another renewable PPA signed in 2023. – We commenced our planned drilling program at BMA during FY2025 to obtain a deeper understanding of methane quality and quantity (in both magnitude and density). This is earlier than outlined in our CTAP 2024 (FY2026/27). – We also began studies and engagements to trial and test methane gas extraction techniques for our open-cut metallurgical coal mining operations with potential to reduce the fugitive emissions that occur when methane contained within and near coal seams is released during the mining process. – In FY2025, we continued construction of a boiler diesel displacement solution at Escondida, planned to commence operating in FY2026. This solution will replace diesel-fired boilers with a heat source (combining a thermo-solar and electric boiler solution) that does not generate any GHG emissions from operation of the boiler or generation of its electricity supply due to Escondida's 100 per cent renewable energy PPAs. We also expect to commence construction of the same type of solution at Spence during FY2026. – We also continued the operational trial of our first electric Liebherr R9400 excavator at WAIO's Yandi mine and increased our understanding of the potential changes to operations required for larger-scale deployments. – We partially met our FY2025 social value scorecard Decarbonisation pillar milestone to 'commence proof-of-concept trials for battery-electric equipment in collaboration with original equipment manufacturers' through the preparation of the Caterpillar (CAT) Early Learner battery-electric haul truck trial, planned for commencement in FY2026. We expect delivery of the battery-electric locomotives in FY2026, followed by commissioning and the commencement of trials. These are important activities to enable our progress towards diesel displacement and the electrification of vehicles and mining equipment to continue despite broader delays in the development of diesel displacement technology, as discussed below. – In addition to our existing partnerships with Caterpillar and Komatsu, we have announced an exploration of opportunities with XCMG, CATL and BYD for the supply of electric mining equipment and the latest in battery technology for mining equipment, locomotives, light vehicles and battery storage systems. – In July 2019, we committed to establishing a Climate Investment Program (CIP) by investing at least US$400 million over its five-year life to scale-up low emissions technologies that can help decarbonise our operations, drive investment in nature-based solutions, and encourage further collective action on Scope 3 emissions. The CIP commenced in July 2020 and finished in June 2025. During that time, BHP spent more than US$400 million on decarbonisation projects across operational GHG emissions, value chain decarbonisation and climate-related BHP Ventures investments. from Operational our operated GHG emissions assets) (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions Overall Value chain GHG emissions (Scope 3 emissions) – Medium-term Reduce operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and Long-term We have a long-term goal of net zero Scope 3 emissions target: 2 emissions from our operated assets) by at least net zero goal: by CY2050.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Pathways net zero goal to our medium-term target and long-term As we have previously disclosed, our progress towards our operational GHG emissions medium-term target and long-term net zero goal is expected to be non-linear. Progressing towards net zero operational GHG emissions depends on the availability, capability and competitiveness of low emissions technology. We are working to accelerate and de-risk the technology we need to be able to continue safe, reliable operations while reducing operational emissions in pursuit of our long-term net zero goal. To achieve our medium-term target, we are taking the following actions: – procuring renewable and other low to zero GHG emissions electricity – working to minimise the increase in operational GHG emissions from organic production growth and new operational sites – working towards a reduction in risk exposure to diesel displacement solutions through testing, piloting and de-risking battery-electric haul truck technology, battery-electric locomotives, and the electrification of excavators and other diesel equipment – pursuing solutions to abate fugitive methane emissions – planning to meet our medium-term target through structural GHG emissions abatement instead of offsetting. We will not use carbon credits surrendered to meet regulatory compliance obligations (i.e. those used for compliance under regulatory schemes, such as the Safeguard Mechanism in Australia) to meet our medium-term target Our projected pathway, as shown in the chart below, does not include use of voluntary carbon credits1 to meet our medium-term target. However, if there is an unanticipated shortfall in our pathway, we may need to use voluntary carbon credits that meet our integrity standards to close the performance gap. For more information on the difference between regulatory and voluntary carbon credits, and our integrity standards for voluntary carbon credits refer to Carbon offsetting available at bhp.com/climate Our potential pathways to our operational GHG emissions long-term net zero goal beyond FY2030 will require: – displacement of diesel emissions from mining equipment/vehicles (e.g. haul trucks, locomotives, excavators) – production or procurement of additional renewable and other low to zero GHG emissions electricity to transition to and maintain 100 per cent low to zero GHG emissions electricity. Additional renewable and other low to zero GHG emissions electricity will also be needed to support the increased demand for electricity that we anticipate will be needed to displace diesel consumption as we electrify mining equipment and vehicles – management and abatement of fugitive methane emissions to the greatest extent technically and commercially viable, through enhanced application of existing or emerging technology target Key changes and potential to our projected pathways pathway to our long-term to our medium-term net zero goal since CTAP 2024 Our operational GHG emissions target and goal remain unchanged from prior years. Our pathway in coming years is complicated by factors including projected organic changes (i.e. arising from our existing business) in our production of commodities and the current lack of available technology solutions to support rapid GHG emission reductions for diesel displacement and fugitive methane abatement. Many of the technologies we will need to achieve our long-term net zero goal are not yet ready to be deployed. A pathway between our medium-term target in FY2030 and our long-term net zero goal in CY2050 will require a significant technological step change in safety, reliability, operability, commercial availability and economics, and the pace of development of some decarbonisation technology has slowed since we published our CTAP 2024, as described below. We will continue to actively assess options and partnerships as technology readiness progresses and seek to optimise our plans as we maintain pursuit of our long-term net zero goal. We do not expect the technology delays to materially impact our plans to achieve our FY2030 medium-term target as we expect PPAs to provide sufficient abatement to meet the target. In Figure 1.2 of our CTAP 2024, we published our operational GHG emissions reduction projected pathway to FY2030 and potential pathways between FY2031 and CY2050. The outcomes of our most recent annual planning process since then, reflecting technology delays, have resulted in the following primary updates to Figure 1.2 of our CTAP 2024: – A delay in all projects for diesel displacement for materials movement and their associated GHG emissions abatement. Due to the low technology readiness level of the products, our Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are adapting their products to ensure they are technically, commercially and operationally viable. This has resulted in a delay to the previously projected timeframes and we now expect to adopt diesel displacement technologies at scale in our operations post FY2030. – Safe and successful trials are an essential enabler of our ability to confidently scale and deploy the technologies required to decarbonise our operations. We will continue to progress existing trials and pursue new opportunities where products have reached a suitable technology readiness. – These delays will impact our previously projected timelines for deploying battery-electric heavy mobile equipment and locomotives at WAIO. – The delays to adoption of electrified fleet at scale similarly delay the associated electricity demand, which will also impact timing for our interdependent low to zero GHG electricity investments. – A delay in the deployment of trolley assist at Escondida and Spence to post FY2030.

BHP Annual Report 2025 9 Sustainability continued – The commercial operations of the Port Hedland solar farm and battery energy storage system (BESS), which connects to the existing Port Hedland power station and supplies WAIO's port facilities under a PPA, commenced in July 2025 following completion of construction activities in CY2024. – While the key changes to our projected and potential decarbonisation pathways are the timeline deferrals described above, the potential variability around the scale and timing of abatement as we progress towards our goal of net zero by CY2050 (shown in Figure 1.2 of our CTAP 2024 as the 'range of uncertainty') also increases. This is due to greater uncertainty of technology and commercial readiness of diesel displacement options as well as our additional insights into the operational integration challenges presented by a change as complex and far-reaching as large-scale electrification. Operational integration challenges include safety-related risks associated with high-voltage direct current batteries, integration of cable management of tethered equipment, inter-operability challenges between different voltages, requirements for integration with automation, and the extent of workforce skills and training required. Capital allocation Capital allocation towards operational GHG emission reduction projects is considered as part of the maintenance capital category within our Capital Allocation Framework (CAF) (described in OFR 3), along with other forms of risk reduction, asset integrity, compliance and major, minor and sustaining projects intended to preserve the ability to generate value at our operated assets. This enables consideration of a risk assessment across qualitative and quantitative criteria relevant to each capital allocation decision. However, an important principle within the CAF prioritises operational GHG emission reduction projects prior to organic development and the other options for excess cash flow (shown in OFR 3) where they are critical in supporting the achievement of our operational GHG emissions medium-term target and long-term net zero goal. Individual operational GHG emission reduction projects must justify the investment based on abatement efficiency, technology readiness, maturity, operational impact and relative economics. Operational GHG emission reduction projects are incorporated into our corporate planning processes that include review of our mine plans, which are critical to creating alignment across BHP. These processes guide the development of plans, targets and budgets to help us decide where to deploy our capital and resources. We have several Investment Review Committees that assist our decision-makers with review of proposed investments. The appropriate Investment Review Committee, based on investment size and any complexity elements, provides endorsement for whether to progress operational GHG emission reduction projects based on qualitative and quantitative measures. Our Quarterly Business Review forums in each region also review and update strategic direction and tactical progress on operational GHG emission reduction. Execution is monitored through periodic reporting to senior leaders and project sponsors on key performance indicators. For FY2025, our incremental capital expenditure, operating expenditure and lease payments on initiatives associated with operational GHG emission reductions was approximately US$50 million.1 As indicated in our April 2025 Quarterly Operational Review and noted above, the pace of development of some decarbonisation technology has slowed, particularly in the displacement of diesel used for materials movement. As a result, we have updated our approach to capital and operational expenditure on decarbonisation based on the viability of commercially available technology. The introduction of diesel displacement technology into our operations accounted for most of our previously allocated operational decarbonisation expenditure in the decade to FY2030 and this expenditure will now be delayed into the 2030s. The revised estimate of spend to execute BHP's operational decarbonisation plans over the decade to FY2030 is US$0.5 billion (reflecting capital expenditure and lease payments). As technology readiness progresses, BHP anticipates our continued decarbonisation efforts will result in spend of at least US$4 billion in the 2030s. We will continue to prioritise the decarbonisation of our business activities and explore alternative decarbonisation projects subject to their satisfying our capital allocation hurdles. We will continue to work closely with our Original Equipment Manufacturer partners to advance diesel displacement technologies, including by investing in site-based trials, so that additional decarbonisation expenditure can again be allocated to the introduction of this critical technology as soon as practicable. We remain on track to meet our medium-term target to reduce operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets) by at least 30 per cent by FY2030 from an FY2020 baseline (baseline year and performance data adjusted. For more information on the adjustments we make refer to Climate-related metrics, targets and goals in this OFR 9.8). For more information on expenditure to support operational GHG emission reductions refer to Financial Statements note 16 'Climate change' Value chain GHG emissions (Scope 3 emissions) Value chain Approach For FY2025, our reported Scope 3 emissions inventory (unadjusted inventory) increased by 0.1 per cent from FY2024.2 This was largely driven by reported GHG emission increases in Category 10 'Processing of sold products' (specifically iron ore processing to crude steel). Our reported Scope 3 emissions inventory remains dominated by the processing of our iron ore and steelmaking coal products (84 per cent). The combustion of energy coal (10 per cent), the GHG emissions associated with our direct suppliers (3 per cent) and the shipping of our products (2 per cent) also contribute. For more information on the calculation of our reported Scope 3 emissions inventory refer to Climate-related metrics, targets and goals in this OFR 9.8. The planned closure of our Mt Arthur Coal mine by FY2030 is likely to result in Scope 3 Category 11 emissions (which includes GHG emissions from the end use of products sold by the reporting company, such as the combustion of energy coal) becoming an insignificant source in our reported Scope 3 emissions inventory. We do not anticipate significant reductions in our reported Scope 3 emissions inventory in the near term. This is partly due to the way we estimate some Scope 3 emissions categories, particularly Category 10 processing of sold products, which is generally not supplier- or customer-specific and therefore would not reflect the GHG emission reductions they achieve. We are looking for ways to improve the data we use and have included this as part of our strategy. As we progress opportunities to reduce Scope 3 emissions associated with processing of sold products, a more granular and customer-specific reporting methodology is expected to enable us to reflect GHG emission reductions resulting from changes we may make to the quality of our products or from lower GHG emission processing routes, including as enabled by our investments in the development of lower GHG emission steelmaking pathways. We have seen improvements associated with data availability associated with shipping through our use of the Veracity data platform. In FY2025, we enhanced our Scope 3 emissions accounting and reporting by improving the collection of fuel consumption data for BHP-chartered shipping of our products, including GHG emissions from transhipment of our products on containerised freight and the deployment of emissions tracking and reporting mechanisms with vessel owners. Customer-specific and supplier-specific granular data is a key enabler for greater transparency of actual Scope 3 emissions as well as value chain decarbonisation projects. Our strategy to support reduction of GHG emissions in our value chain has four primary focus areas: – support the development and adoption of GHG emissions intensity reduction technologies in steelmaking – enhance the quality of the iron ore and steelmaking coal we produce (as the GHG emissions intensity of conventional blast furnace steelmaking can be reduced by improving the quality of the iron ore and steelmaking coal used) – encourage direct suppliers to pursue net zero for their operational GHG emissions (direct suppliers' Scopes 1 and 2 emissions) – support the development and adoption of GHG emission reduction technologies in shipping These focus areas have been set with consideration of the scale of GHG emissions in our value chain, the level of impact we can achieve with stakeholders and industry, and the alignment to our portfolio strategy. We usually consider and prioritise our contribution to value chain GHG emission reduction projects using similar criteria to compliance and risk reduction projects. For steelmaking-related projects (including our steelmaking customer partnerships), our Investment Review Committees operate in the same manner as described for operational GHG emission reduction projects in this OFR 9.8. For FY2025, our capital and operating expenditure on initiatives associated with potential value chain GHG emission reductions was approximately US$60 million. 1. The calculation of this amount is considered on an incremental basis, referring to the incremental cost to facilitate BHP's reduction in operational GHG emissions. For example, in a circumstance where a diesel-powered excavator is due for replacement, the incremental decarbonisation cost would be the difference between the cost of replacing it with a like-for-like diesel model versus the cost of replacing it with an electric alternative. This differential represents the additional investment made for the purpose of reducing operational GHG emissions. 2. There may be differences between our annual reported Scope 3 emissions inventory (unadjusted inventory) and the GHG emissions we measure for the baseline year, reference year and performance for our value chain GHG emissions medium-term goals and long-term net zero targets and goal. This results from different GHG emissions boundaries and/or different approaches to the treatment of acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes based on the purpose for which the data is being reported. For more information refer to Climate-related metrics, targets and goals in this OFR 9.8.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information For more information on actual and planned expenditure to support value chain GHG emission reductions refer to Financial Statements note 16 'Climate change' Our equity shares of operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions) from our non-operated joint venture interests are reported in our Scope 3 emissions inventory under Category 15 'Investments' and are an immaterial source of Scope 3 emissions when compared to our total FY2025 reported Scope 3 emissions inventory. We see our role in non-operated assets as primarily to seek to influence them through their governance structures to reduce their operational GHG emissions, as well as sharing decarbonisation knowledge and experience where appropriate. Steelmaking Performance and highlights – In FY2025, under the Modified blast furnace pathway, we have progressed pilots in China and Europe jointly with our partners, with carbon capture trials commenced at customer sites. We plan to share key trial results in FY2026. We also initiated new partnerships in India, including studies to progress a next generation carbon capture demonstration with steelmaker JSW, and progressed low-carbon fuel installations (hydrogen injection to blast furnace) with Zenith Steel in China with the plan for testing campaigns to operate in FY2026. – Additionally, in August 2025 we announced our participation in an industry consortium comprising leading steelmakers ArcelorMittal, Nippon Steel India, JSW Steel, Hyundai Steel Company and other value chain participants, Chevron and Mitsui & Co. Ltd, to undertake a pre-feasibility study to assess the development of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) hubs across Asia. The CCUS hub study is the first independent industry-led study of its kind in Asia and will examine the technical and commercial pathways to utilising CCUS in hard-to-abate industries across Asia. – In FY2025, under the DRI-electric smelting furnace pathway, we successfully trialled BHP iron ores in pellet and direct reduced iron (DRI) production at two commercial plants in China. In one of these, we achieved a lower emissions intensity in the trial (50 per cent lower iron unit intensity replacing blast furnace iron in existing basic oxygen furnace steelmaking) than conventional blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace operation. Importantly, the trial demonstrated the use of BHP Pilbara ores in pellet-shaft DRI production, which when combined with an electric smelting furnace (ESF) has the potential to achieve 85 per cent emission reductions compared with the conventional blast furnace. In FY2026 and FY2027, we plan to continue to support work to optimise the performance of pellet and DRI trials at higher BHP Pilbara ore ratios. We also confirmed Kwinana in Western Australia as the location for the NeoSmelt ESF pilot with our partners BlueScope, Mitsui Iron Ore Development, Rio Tinto and Woodside Energy, and advanced the project from pre-feasibility into a final design phase. Subject to approvals, the NeoSmelt ESF project remains on track to be commissioned in the second half of CY2028 and begin demonstrating the system as a technically viable pathway. – Within the Electrochemical reduction pathway, our BHP Ventures portfolio company, Boston Metal, successfully commissioned a large-scale pilot using BHP iron ore fines and lump, producing iron metal using electrolysis at tonnage scale and we made an additional investment into Boston Metal in June 2025. We also joined Electra's series B funding round as it continues to develop its low temperature electrolysis process. With successful pilots, these solutions could help support our medium-term goal for steelmaking and our long-term net zero goal. – We continued to engage with our direct iron ore and steelmaking coal customers on GHG emission reduction pathways and carbon accounting methodologies. Longer-term industry pathways and strategy Our ambition is to help develop multiple technology pathways, as described above, that can provide commercially feasible options for steelmakers in different regions. We prioritise projects based on scale of impact, our ability to influence the outcomes and alignment with our assets and products. Our steelmaking decarbonisation program has four key components: collaborative partnerships with our customers, peers and partners; directly funded research and development initiatives; early-stage investments in breakthrough technology through BHP Ventures; and advocacy for standardisation and traceability throughout the value chain. We aim to leverage our own funding through this program by attracting and enabling investment (financial and in-kind) from our strategic partners. We have collaborations and exchanges with 11 steel producers representing 22 per cent of reported global steel production according to recent World Steel Association data1 and US$171 million in committed funding to date2 (including BHP Ventures investments and based on figures as at 30 June 2025). For more information on our strategy, actions to support our value chain and our plan to achieve our steelmaking medium-term goal refer to pages 24 and 25 of our CTAP 2024 available at bhp.com/CTAP2024 Direct suppliers Performance and highlights – We continued to engage with and encourage our top 500 direct suppliers by spend to set their own operational GHG emissions targets or goals (for their Scopes 1 and 2 emissions) to align with our Scope 3 long-term target to achieve net zero by CY2050 for the operational GHG emissions of our direct suppliers. – We commenced a pilot with four strategic suppliers that represent 5 per cent of our reported Scope 3, Category 1 emissions inventory to assess the viability and scalability of sharing their product-level emissions data. This pilot seeks to improve our reported Scope 3, Category 1 emissions inventory accuracy and ability to reflect GHG emissions reduction initiatives being implemented by our direct suppliers. – We are currently working to update the methodology we use to calculate our reported Scope 3, Category 1 emissions inventory to more accurately reflect the GHG emissions associated with the products and services we Value Steelmaking chain GHG emissions (Scope 3 emissions) – Value Direct chain suppliers GHG emissions (Scope 3 emissions) – Medium-term Support industry to develop steel production technology Long-term Achieve net zero by CY2050 for the operational goal: capable of 30 per cent lower GHG emissions intensity net zero target: GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions) of relative to conventional blast furnace steelmaking, with our direct suppliers. widespread adoption expected post-CY2030.

BHP Annual Report 2025 9 Sustainability continued procure by improving the emissions factors used to calculate emissions and ultimately shifting to supplier-specific data for key products and services. This may have a significant impact on our reported Scope 3, Category 1 emissions inventory in future. Industry pathways and strategy Our strategy targets the top 500 direct suppliers by spend, which contributed to 78 per cent of our FY2025 total spend on suppliers. It encompasses three areas of focus – selective purchasing, supportive engagements and measurement and monitoring. Our selective purchasing approach sets a commercial requirement that, over time, a supplier must actively reduce its operational GHG emissions and/or maintain a competitive level of GHG emissions intensity for its product or service. Our supportive engagements intend to identify, assess and pursue opportunities to partner with our direct suppliers to support their GHG emission reduction initiatives. Measurement and monitoring are also essential to assessing performance and advances being pursued, such as through climate-specific data clauses in some supplier contracts or participation in emission data exchanges, to help improve our ability to report progress against our long-term net zero target for direct suppliers. For more information on our strategy, actions to support our value chain and our plan to achieve our direct suppliers' long-term net zero target refer to page 28 of our CTAP 2024 available at bhp.com/CTAP2024 Shipping Performance and highlights – We are on track to meet our medium-term goal to support 40 per cent GHG emissions intensity reduction of BHP-chartered shipping of BHP products by CY2030 from a CY2008 baseline year. For FY2025, the GHG emissions intensity of BHP-chartered shipping was 43.7 per cent below CY2008 (baseline year and performance adjusted. For more information on the adjustments we make refer to Climate-related metrics, targets and goals in this OFR 9.8. Percentage has been rounded to the whole number in the social value scorecard in OFR 9.4). – For FY2025, our total reported Scope 3, Category 4 emissions inventory for BHP-chartered shipping of BHP products reduced by 7 per cent compared to FY2020 despite an increase in voyages executed compared with FY2020 by 8.6 per cent. – We increased the collection of fuel consumption data for BHP-chartered shipping of our products, including GHG emissions from transhipment of our products on containerised freight and the deployment of emissions tracking and reporting mechanisms with vessel owners. This resulted in 65 per cent of our fuel consumption data and associated reported GHG emissions for BHP-chartered shipping of our products being actual (rather than estimated). – The retrofitting of a wind-assisted propulsion system (a Flettner Rotor) on the shipping vessel M/V Koryu with our customer and partner Pan Pacific Copper and Norsepower, delivering our copper concentrates from Chile to Japan, completed three voyages in FY2025 and the validation of the emission reductions from this installation is in progress. – We continued to promote the adoption of lower GHG emissions fuels, such as biodiesel and LNG, across our trade routes. In FY2025, we doubled the volume of biodiesel used in our value chains compared to FY2024. We continued to scale our adoption of biodiesel blends (i.e. B24, B30) and pure biodiesel (i.e. B100), adding bunkering at strategic locations, such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Panama. The biodiesel that BHP has used has been produced from feedstocks that recycle waste products, such as used cooking oil and food waste. All biodiesel used is accompanied by 'Proof of Sustainability' under a certification scheme. – We have awarded time charter contracts to China's COSCO Shipping for two ammonia dual-fuelled vessels for a duration of five years. We expect the delivery of these vessels from CY2028. This will help us meet our First Movers Coalition commitment that, by CY2030, 10 per cent of our total products shipped to our customers on our time charter vessels will be shipped using zero GHG emissions fuels.1 We continue to work with regulatory bodies, shipyards and other key stakeholders to address the challenges for use of ammonia onboard vessels as well as with participants across technical, commercial and supply assurance aspects for the supply of electrolytic ammonia, commonly referred to as 'green ammonia'. Industry pathways and strategy The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has set levels of ambition for the international shipping sector that aim to progressively reduce GHG emissions and reach net zero GHG emissions by or around CY2050. In April 2025, the Marine Environment Protection Committee established the IMO Net-Zero Framework requiring ships to comply with two measures that are set to be formally adopted in October 2025 and come into force in CY2027: – Global fuel standard: Ships must reduce, over time, their annual GHG fuel intensity (GFI) – that is, how much GHG is emitted for each unit of energy used. This is calculated on a well-to-wake basis. – Global economic measure: Ships emitting above their GFI thresholds will have to acquire remedial units to balance their deficit emissions, while those using zero or near-zero GHG emission technologies will be eligible for financial rewards. As one of the world's largest dry bulk charterers, our strategy to support the IMO's ambitions encompasses efficiency improvements, the adoption of lower and low to zero GHG emission alternative fuels, and enhanced carbon accounting practices. Our actions align with the requirements of the IMO's mid- and long-term GHG reduction measure. Climate-related risk management How we identify and manage climate-related risk At BHP, we take an enterprise approach to risk management and operate under one Risk Framework for all risks, including transition and physical climate-related risks (threats and opportunities). We have mandatory minimum performance requirements to manage climate-related risks and apply them across our operated assets and functions, and to decision-making processes for sales, marketing and procurement.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information To support the identification and management of climate-related risks at BHP, we monitor themes and signposts and interpret external developments associated with transition risk and physical climate-related risk, which may include existing and emerging scientific, technological, policy, legal and regulatory, reputational, market and other societal developments. Our Climate Change Global Standard sets mandatory minimum requirements for assessing physical climate-related risks (for our progress to date refer to Physical climate-related risks and adaptation in this OFR 9.8), as well as for asset-level climate change plans and the value chain climate adaptation plan owned by our Commercial function. Asset-level climate change plans are required to be approved annually to ensure continued relevance. In setting and monitoring delivery of our strategy, we consider climate-related risks (threats and opportunities), both physical and transition, across the following time horizons: – short-term (up to two years), aligning with our two-year budget process – medium-term (two to five years), defining supportive actions and initiatives that sit outside of our two-year budget process in order to support our long-term strategy – long-term (five to at least 30 years), given our supply, demand and pricing forecasts and our scenarios for portfolio analysis extend to 2050 and in some cases beyond, as do the climate projections data we use to underpin our physical climate-related risk assessments (which incorporate a 2070s time horizon) We assess materiality of climate-related risks consistent with the process for all risks identified through our Risk Framework, considering the likelihood (by reference to timeframes) and severity of potential impacts (including to health and safety, the environment, communities, human rights and social value). This helps us to understand the significance of climate-related risks in the context of BHP's overall risk profile and prioritise controls and decision-making for investment in risk mitigations. Climate change and climate-related risks have the potential to influence or exacerbate risks across our operations and functions, including those associated with asset integrity, pricing of inputs, access to markets, changes to regulation, access to funding and our reputation. They are required to be considered and, where applicable, integrated in accordance with our Risk Framework into our risk profiles to be managed across each of these time horizons (see the table below). Under our Risk Framework, we implement controls designed to prevent, minimise or mitigate threats and enable or enhance opportunities. Opportunities include positioning our portfolio to capture growth in future-facing commodities, implementing measures to increase the resilience and reliability of critical infrastructure and creating mutual value through embedding our approach to equitable change and transition. Controls, which are reviewed at least annually, can be preventative or mitigating. A consistent approach allows climate-related risks to be considered across our business, integrated through our risk profile, to focus actions on risks that are material. We conduct annual reviews of our climate-related risk profile to identify, assess and manage new or evolving climate-related risks. Individual material climate-related risks are reviewed at least annually and when events or changes occur that may increase or decrease the risk exposure. For more information on our Risk Framework, how we manage risk (including climate-related risk) and our risk factors refer to OFR 7 and OFR 11 For disclosures on the management of transition risks (threats and opportunities) refer to Transition to a net zero economy in this OFR 9.8 For disclosures about the studies we are undertaking to assess our exposure to physical climate-related risks and identify adaptation opportunities refer to Physical climate-related risks and adaptation in this OFR 9.8 Potential influence of climate-related issues on BHP risk factors over time1 Relevant BHP risk factors Long term (for more information Short term Medium term (5 to at least refer to OFR 11) Climate-related risk (threats) (0 to 2 years) (2 to 5 years) 30 years)2 Transition risk Operational events – Low technological readiness or delay to technological solutions to reduce GHG emissions (e.g. leading to extended lives and increased Low Low Medium maintenance requirements of existing infrastructure) Significant social or – Engaging in or association with activities with actual or perceived environmental impacts adverse climate-related impacts – Failure to meet evolving stakeholder expectations (e.g. impacting Low Low to medium High perceptions of social value contribution) – Political, regulatory or judicial developments Low-carbon transition – Low to zero GHG emission technologies or changes in customer preferences altering demand for our products – Perceptions of climate-related financial risk reducing access to capital and/or insurance for BHP or our customers or suppliers Low Low High – Reputational damage and litigation – Adverse market, legal or regulatory responses Adopting technologies and – Low technology readiness or delay to technological solutions Low Low to medium High maintaining digital security to reduce GHG emissions Optimising growth and – Failure to achieve expected commercial objectives due to Low Low High portfolio returns climate-related impacts Accessing key markets – Legal or regulatory changes, with respect to carbon-intensive industries and exports Low Low High – Low to zero GHG emission technologies or changes in customer preferences altering demand for our products Inadequate business – Geopolitical, global economic, regional or local developments resilience or adverse events Low Low High – Perceptions of climate-related financial risk reducing access to capital and/or insurance for BHP or our customers or suppliers Physical risk Operational events – Extreme weather and other climate-related events that may impact Low Low to medium High production and/or safety Significant social or – Failure to adequately identify or appropriately manage physical Low Low to medium Medium environmental impacts climate-related risks Inadequate business – Acute and chronic physical climate-related impacts, event-driven and Low Low Medium resilience longer-term changes in climate patterns 1.

BHP Annual Report 2025 9 Sustainability continued Transition to a net zero economy Our portfolio's resilience To address transition climate-related risks, we are pursuing opportunities to increase our exposure to products that enable and support decarbonisation, electrification, urbanisation and a growing population. Simultaneously, we aim to minimise the risk of capital being stranded in a rapidly decarbonising world. Climate change, climate scenarios and the progress towards the global net zero transition are among the key drivers of decision-making that support our risk appetite and commodity outlook to inform strategy and corporate planning. Insights from commodity and portfolio reviews are presented to our ELT and Board. They inform major portfolio decisions and cascade through our planning processes, including how we allocate capital and how we unlock new business opportunities. Our strategy formation, capital allocation and planning processes enable deliberate and timely responses to the climate-related risks (threats and opportunities) to our portfolio. We seek to maintain a strong balance sheet and monitor our net debt and gearing ratio (the ratio of net debt to net debt plus net assets). This gives us the flexibility to respond to changing external factors, including climate-related risks, as they arise. This, coupled with our Capital Allocation Framework, enables us to execute our portfolio positioning decisions for the benefit of our stakeholders including shareholders. For more information on our operational activities and our approach to our value chain refer to Operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets) and Value chain GHG emissions (Scope 3 emissions) in this OFR 9.8 For more information on potential financial statement impacts due to climate-related risks refer to Financial Statements note 16 'Climate change' Our planning range We use our planning range (our long-term forecast of demand, supply and price across our commodities) for operational planning, strategy formation and investment decisions. It is comprised of three unique, independent planning cases: a 'most likely' base case, and an upside case and downside case that provide the range's boundaries. These three cases reflect proprietary forecasts for the global economy and associated sub-sectors (i.e. energy, transport, agriculture, steel) and the resulting market outlook for our core commodities. While not expressly designed as climate scenarios, our planning range assumes most developed economies reach net zero around CY2050 (and other developing economies reaching net zero in CY2060 and CY2070), with different global gross domestic product assumptions and pace and drivers of decarbonisation policy and technology across the three planning cases. The modelled outputs of our planning range result in global CO2 emission pathways implying a projected global temperature increase of around 2°C by CY2100. We regularly make updates to our planning range, with an update of key assumptions and our analysis of potential implications expected during FY2026. To continue responding to changes in the external environment and help shape a more resilient strategy, we carefully monitor key signposts for economic, societal, political and technological changes that could materially move our planning range. We also regularly reassess our views on commodity and asset attractiveness. Our 1.5°C scenario Scenarios highlight different hypothetical pathways for the future and are not necessarily what we or others expect to happen. We use scenarios to explore different themes or end states to stress test business decisions and portfolio resilience.1 In FY2024, as one aspect of our analysis, we developed a new 1.5°C scenario, benchmarked against external scenarios, to test the modelled impacts of potential pathways towards deep decarbonisation and the climate-related transition risks it would give rise to. We believe it is unlikely this pathway will eventuate, because of current trends and global efforts to date to address climate change. Our 1.5°C scenario uses aggressive assumptions around political, technological and behavioural change, particularly for hard-to-abate sectors, such as steel. For example, our 1.5°C scenario assumes that global energy-related CO2 emissions will peak by the mid-2020s and there will be a rapid rollout of steel decarbonisation technologies synchronised to technical and commercial readiness, with carbon capture utilisation and storage beginning in the mid-2020s, hydrogen-based direct reduced iron from the mid-2030s and electrolysis technologies from the 2040s. It also assumes that there will be strong policy pushes to enable rapid decarbonisation. For more information on the key assumptions and metrics for our 1.5°C scenario refer to pages 61 and 62 of our CTAP 2024 available at bhp.com/CTAP2024 We update our 1.5°C scenario analysis and associated portfolio resilience testing periodically, with our most recent assessment performed in CY2024 and presented in our CTAP 2024. As modelled in CY2024, our assessment indicated that the portfolio would be resilient under our 1.5°C scenario, while its impact would be different on each of our commodities: the value of our copper, potash and nickel assets increases relative to the base case of our planning range and offsets the effect to our portfolio from some downside risk to steelmaking coal (with some loss of value in steelmaking coal relative to the base case of our planning range and a marginal decrease in the value of our iron ore assets). At the time of the assessment, the net present value of our portfolio modelled under our 1.5°C scenario was approximately the same as under the base case of our planning range, indicating that we would be resilient in an accelerated transition to this 1.5°C outcome. It is important to note this does not account for changes that could be made or actions that could be taken if our 1.5°C scenario was to eventuate, such as harnessing new opportunities or mitigating potential financial impacts. In FY2025, while we continued to consider our 1.5°C scenario in our strategy formation, we did not consider it as a sensitivity in capital allocation processes. To provide further analysis of potential financial risks under a 1.5°C scenario, we have also reviewed an external scenario published by Wood Mackenzie aligned to a global average temperature increase limited to approximately 1.5°C and performed a price-only sensitivity using the latest operating plans for our steelmaking coal assets. For more information on the potential financial risks under a 1.5°C scenario refer to Financial Statements note 16 'Climate change' Since our resilience assessment in CY2024, we have continued to position our portfolio of commodities and assets to create value for today and the future. In FY2025, BHP and Canada's Lundin Mining formed the Vicuña joint venture to hold the Josemaria and Filo del Sol copper deposits located on the Argentina-Chile border. The Vicuña joint venture will create a long-term partnership between BHP and Lundin Mining to jointly develop an emerging copper district with world-class potential. This transaction aligns with BHP's strategy to acquire early-stage copper projects as one of the levers to develop a portfolio of commodities that support the megatrends shaping our world, which we would expect to reinforce the resilience of our portfolio as a whole. For more information on our portfolio's resilience in our 1.5°C scenario refer to Portfolio on pages 31 to 38 of our CTAP 2024, available at bhp.com/CTAP2024 For physical climate-related risks, we are undertaking studies to progressively identify, assess and quantify the potential future impacts to site operations and safety, productivity and estimated cost for our operated assets. These studies use a set of scenarios with average global temperature estimates that differ from that implied by our planning range or our 1.5°C scenario used to test resilience against transition climate-related risks, due to higher temperature outcomes usually being associated with greater physical climate-related risks. The scenarios we are considering in our studies of physical climate-related risks are intended to help inform a risk-based approach rather than reflect any view on future climate outcomes. For more information on our approach to physical climate-related risks refer to Physical climate-related risk and adaptation in this OFR 9.8 1. There are limitations to scenario analysis, including any climate-related scenario analysis, and it is difficult to predict which, if any, of the scenarios might eventuate. Scenario analysis is not a forecast and is not an indication of probable outcomes and relies on assumptions that may or may not prove to be correct or eventuate.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information Carbon pricing We embed carbon prices within our planning range that inform asset planning, asset valuations and operational decision-making, including the prioritisation of operational GHG emission reduction projects. For our qualitative and quantitative disclosures on planning range carbon pricing refer to Financial Statements note 16 'Climate change' Equitable change and transition Implementation Our approach to equitable transition is grounded in our existing strategies, principles, policies, standards and frameworks in relation to our people, the environment, communities and other stakeholders and partners. Our Human Rights Policy Statement, Indigenous Peoples Policy Statement and Inclusion and Diversity Position Statement help underpin our approach and our Closure and Legacy Management Global Standard, Community and Indigenous Peoples Global Standard, Climate Change Global Standard and Environment Global Standard set out requirements aligned to our equitable change and transition principles. New South Wales Energy Coal On 16 April 2025, New South Wales Energy Coal received approval from the New South Wales Government of Modification 2 to continue mining at the Mt Arthur Coal mine to planned closure in June 2030. The approval provides time to continue working collaboratively with the community, suppliers and local businesses on plans to cease mining and deal with land and tenure BHP will no longer use, subject to future approvals, in order to transition the site and surrounds to their next productive use beyond 2030, while balancing business, community and regulatory needs and expectations. Following the approval, BHP announced a A$30 million community fund to support the Upper Hunter as it prepares for the responsible closure of the Mt Arthur Coal mine in 2030. In April 2025, we announced that we have partnered with renewable energy and infrastructure company ACCIONA Energía to explore the potential development of a pumped hydro energy storage project at Mt Arthur Coal. BHP's conceptual studies show that a pumped hydro energy storage project at Mt Arthur Coal has the potential to support around 1,000 jobs within the Upper Hunter region in the construction phase, contribute to ongoing economic activity in Muswellbrook and provide power for up to 500,000 homes across New South Wales every day. Physical climate-related risks and adaptation A changing climate can exacerbate and trigger physical climate-related risks, which include: – Acute physical climate-related risks: extreme climatic events, such as floods, cyclones and heatwaves, that may become more severe and/ or more frequent because of a changing climate. – Chronic physical climate-related risks: the incremental worsening of conditions such as the gradual increase in the number of extreme heat days over the years, or rising sea levels. The mining sector is exposed to both acute and chronic physical climate-related risks because of its remote outdoor operations with labour and physical capital exposed to the elements, and because of its dependency on global value chains. The long lives of mining assets mean they could encounter deteriorating conditions in later decades. Geographically dispersed sites and value chains increase the diversity of physical climate-related impacts we may face. We are undertaking studies to assess our operations' exposure to physical climate-related risks that draw on science-based climate data (described under Climate modelling). We also continue to progress our work to build further climate resilience, where appropriate, in asset planning, projects, operations and closure. Our approach to evaluating our operational physical climate-related risks is illustrated in the Our approach to physical climate-related risk diagram on the following page. Climate modelling Our climate hazard dataset (CHD) covering our operated assets and some key value chain locations enables us to deepen our understanding of our physical climate-related risk exposure, alongside local observational data and other sources of climate projections. In FY2025, we developed an online platform to make the CHD more readily accessible internally. The dataset covers more than 20 climate-related hazards and includes a baseline and projections for four future time horizons across this century, for the following scenarios, based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:1 – Low-case: estimated average global temperature increase of 1.8°C by CY2100 (SSP1-2.6) – Mid-case: estimated average global temperature increase of 2.7°C by CY2100 (SSP2-4.5) – High-case: estimated average global temperature increase of 4.4°C by CY2100 (SSP5-8.5) Risk studies In FY2025, our operated assets (excluding NSWEC, legacy assets and Western Australia Nickel) used our CHD to undertake or continue physical climate-related risk analysis. This included risk and impact transmission channel analysis and assessment of potential safety, production and cost impacts, informed by technical studies such as flood modelling, water balance modelling and various quantitative assessments. The first stage of our physical climate-related risk analysis has focused on our operated assets that are currently producing (during FY2025). Western Australia Nickel was excluded from further analysis in FY2025 due to its temporary suspension. For NSWEC and legacy assets, we have been focusing on post-mining and closure phases, updating risk profiles and adaptation plans based on our latest knowledge of climate-related risks and potential impacts. We intend to continue this work in FY2026. The table titled Potential physical climate-related risks at our operated assets and in their value chains on the following page shows the physical climate-related risks we have identified in studies to date as having potential to impact on our operated assets and value chains. Risk controls We have a range of existing controls in place for extreme weather-related risks. These include weather-related hazard detection, monitoring and associated weather preparation, emergency management plans and personnel trained in emergency response. We are committed to conforming with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, including its climate-related requirements. We also employ measures to guard against potential equipment failure or inefficiencies during extreme weather. We undertake contingency planning for disruptions to our operated asset and value chain, including for scenarios caused by climate-related impacts. As our understanding of physical climate-related risks at our operated assets evolves, we make updates to our risk profile and asset-level adaptation plans where relevant. For example, we have been progressing embedment of climate-adjusted risks into flood mitigation structure designs at Copper South Australia and BMA, and building climate projections into the weather budgets and water balance modelling for strategic water planning at BMA. We expect to continue to identify adaptation opportunities to further protect value and enable growth as we progress our ongoing physical climate-related risk studies. 1.

All other Scope 3 emissions boundaries are defined on a category-by-category (and in some cases, sub-category) basis due to data limitations. Scope 3 emissions reporting necessarily has a degree of overlap in reporting boundaries due to our involvement at multiple points in the lifecycle of the commodities we produce and consume. – Rounding: Data has been rounded to the nearest 0.1 MtCO2-e. Downstream: Other in FY2024 has been rounded down for the purposes of this table. – Restatement: Category 15, Investments FY2024 reported value has been restated due to finalisation of electricity emissions calculations for the Kelar power plant. Previously reported value was 1.2 MtCO2-e and restated value is 1.3 MtCO2-e as reflected in the Downstream, Other (Categories 9,15) FY2024 value (not previously aggregated) and the Total Scope 3 emissions FY2024 value, which was previously reported as 377.6 MtCO2-e. Assessing and comparing reductions in Scope 3 emissions should consider the impact that acquisitions and divestments have had. Scope 3 emissions data includes GHG emissions for former OZ Minerals assets from the date of acquisition (completed on 2 May 2023). Former OZ Minerals Scope 3 emissions data has not been included in certain categories and/or sub-categories of FY2023 and FY2024 data due to data limitations. We estimate these GHG emissions to be immaterial. All Scope 3 emissions data includes divested operations only up to the completion date or effective economic date (as applicable) of the divestment. Divestments include BMA's divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines (completed on 2 April 2024). Category 10, Processing of sold products does not include GHG emissions associated with downstream processing of our zinc, gold, silver, ethane, cobalt and uranium oxide products and, for FY2025, nickel, as production and sales volumes are relatively small and a large range of possible end uses apply. We estimate these GHG emissions to be immaterial. Category 15, Investments covers the Scopes 1 and 2 emissions (on an equity basis) from entities in which we hold an interest that are not operated by BHP.

9 Sustainability continued Definitions and key details for our GHG emissions targets and goals All the GHG emissions data we measure for the baseline year or reference year and performance for our GHG emissions targets goals are presented on an adjusted basis to provide the information most relevant to assessing progress against our GHG emissions targets and goals. The BHP GHG Emissions Calculation Methodology explains the different calculation approaches based on the purpose for which the data is being provided. For more information on the different calculation approaches based on the purpose for which the data is provided refer to the BHP GHG Emissions Calculation Methodology 2025, available at bhp.com/sustainability For the definitions of the terms used to express our GHG emissions targets and goals, including 'target', 'goal', 'net zero' and 'carbon neutral' refer to Additional information 10.4 net Operational zero goal GHG definitions, emissions assumptions, (Scopes 1 and adjustments 2 emissions and from additional our operated key details assets) medium-term target and long-term Description Medium-term target: Reduce operational GHG emissions by at least 30 per cent from FY2020 levels by FY2030 Long-term net zero goal: Achieve net zero operational GHG emissions by CY2050 Baseline year or reference year and period Medium-term target: Baseline year: FY2020 \| Period: FY2020 to FY2030 Long-term net zero goal: Reference year: FY2020. FY2020 is used as a reference year to track progress towards our goal, but is not a baseline year for achieving our goal. \| Period: FY2020 to CY2050 Type and reduction Medium-term target: Type: Absolute \| Reduction: Gross; At least 30 per cent Long-term net zero goal: Type: Absolute \| Reduction: Net; 100 per cent Boundary Inventory boundary: Scopes 1 and 2 emissions: Operational control Exclusions Non-operated assets and equity investments (included in our value chain GHG emissions (Scope 3 emissions) long-term net zero goal) GHGs included CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC, SF6 Offsetting Medium-term target: Our plan is to achieve our medium-term target through structural GHG emissions abatement instead of offsetting our operational GHG emissions. We will not use carbon credits surrendered to meet regulatory obligations (i.e. those used for compliance under regulatory schemes, such as Australia's Safeguard Mechanism) to meet our target. In our projected pathway, we have not planned to use voluntary carbon credits to meet our medium-term target, but if there is an unanticipated shortfall in our pathway, we may use voluntary carbon credits that meet our integrity standards to close the performance gap. Long-term net zero goal: Expected, to close the performance gap beyond our structural abatement. However, for the reasons outlined in this OFR 9.8, we are currently unable to estimate the contribution of carbon credits to our long-term net zero goal. Measurement approach Scope 1 emissions are calculated using emission factors and methodologies required under mandatory local regulatory programs where BHP operates, including the National Greenhouse Energy and Reporting (NGER) scheme for Australian operations, Green Tax legislation (referencing Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emission factors) for Chilean operations and Canadian Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (referencing IPCC emission factors) for our Jansen potash project. In the absence of mandatory local regulatory programs, the Australian NGER scheme emission factors and methodology are used. Scope 2 emissions are calculated using the market-based method using electricity emission factors sourced directly from the supplier where available, as evidenced by Renewable Energy Certificates and/or supplier-provided documentation. Where supplier-specific emission factors are not available, a default location-based emission factor for electricity, as published in local regulations or industry frameworks, is used. Key adjustments made to baseline year or reference year and subsequent data Baseline year (for our target) and reference year (for our goal) and performance data have been adjusted for divestment of our interest in BMC (completed on 3 May 2022), divestment of our Petroleum business (merger with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022), BMA's divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines (completed on 2 April 2024), our acquisition of OZ Minerals (completed on 2 May 2023) and for methodology changes (use of IPCC Assessment Report 5 (AR5) Global Warming Potentials and the transition to a facility-specific GHG emission calculation methodology for fugitives at Caval Ridge and Saraji South) (methodology change adjustments applicable for baseline year and reference year and FY2020 to FY2024 performance data). Performance, adjusted FY2020: 13.6 MtCO2-e \| FY2021: 13.8 MtCO2-e \| FY2022: 10.2 MtCO2-e \| FY2023: 9.1 MtCO2-e \| FY2024: 9.2 MtCO2-e \| FY2025: 8.7 MtCO2-e Target or goal setting method Medium-term target: Our target is measured on a cumulative GHG emission basis against an overall carbon budget. The target percentage reduction was established in FY2020 by applying the same rate of reduction to BHP's GHG emissions as the rate at which the world's GHG emissions would have to contract in order to meet the Paris Agreement goal to hold global average temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels (known as the 'absolute contraction method'). Long-term net zero goal: Our goal was developed with the ambition to achieve net zero for our operational GHG emissions by CY2050. Our progress against this goal will be measured on an absolute basis. Target or goal derived using a sectoral decarbonisation approach Medium-term target: No, our target was derived using the absolute contraction method specified earlier. At the time of setting the target, there were no mining sector-specific pathways for jurisdictions where we operate. Long-term net zero goal: No, however our goal is consistent with the global net zero ambition. Process for reviewing the setting of the target or goal The Board approves BHP's significant social, community and sustainability policies (upon recommendation from the Nomination and Governance Committee), including those related to climate change and climate transition planning, public sustainability goals and targets (including for GHG emission reductions). We review our GHG emissions targets and goals as part of the periodic development of an updated CTAP, or more frequently if required. Process for monitoring progress towards the target or goal Monitored on an annual basis through our business planning processes, which forecast operational GHG emissions and identify planned, proposed or potential GHG emission reduction projects out to CY2050. As part of this process, an internal GHG emissions target is set for the relevant financial year and monitored through our annual reporting processes, with progress reviewed by management and the Board as part of publication of our annual reporting disclosures. Our target is also monitored on a six-monthly basis through our social value scorecard framework, with progress reviewed by management and the Board as part of publication of our half-year results (as well as annual reporting disclosures), or more frequently if required. Third-party validation of our target or goal No, but we obtain reasonable assurance over our externally reported performance against our target and goal. Carbon budget for target or goal period Medium-term target: 126.9 MtCO2-e (FY2020 to FY20230). This reflects a linear reduction between our baseline year and the target year. In the interim years before FY2030, we periodically refer to our carbon budget to assess our cumulative GHG emissions against our carbon budget to FY2030. This enables us to determine if we are on track to achieve our medium-term target or whether we anticipate potential use of voluntary carbon credits to close any performance gap by FY2030 (which we do not currently anticipate). Long-term net zero goal: For the period FY2020 to FY2030, refer to the carbon budget for our target. We do not currently use a carbon budget for the period beyond FY2030. Expected progression Progress towards our target and goal is expected to be non-linear and affected by organic changes in our production of commodities and the availability, capability and competitiveness of low emissions technology.

Shipping medium-term goal: Support 40 per cent GHG emissions intensity reduction of BHP-chartered shipping of BHP products. Baseline year or reference year, and period Steelmaking medium-term goal: Reference year: CY2020 (global average GHG emissions intensity for conventional blast furnace steelmaking as at CY2020, being 2.2 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of crude steel. Source: IEA Iron and Steel Technology Roadmap (October 2020)). CY2020 is used as a reference year to assess the potential of collaborative partnerships and venture capital investments to which we may commit funding (refer to Measurement approach in this table) but is not a baseline year for achieving our goal \| Period: FY2020 to CY2030. Shipping medium-term goal: Baseline year: CY2008 (reflecting International Maritime Organisation (IMO) objectives for the shipping industry) \| Period: CY2008 to CY2030. Type and reduction Steelmaking medium-term goal: Type: Not applicable \| Reduction: Not applicable Shipping medium-term goal: Type: Intensity \| Reduction: Gross; 40 per cent Boundary Steelmaking medium-term goal: Not applicable Shipping medium-term goal: GHG emissions from maritime transportation not owned or operated by BHP, but chartered and paid for by BHP, where the transportation was of BHP-produced products sold by BHP.

Shipping medium-term goal: Average gCO2-e per deadweight tonne per nautical mile (gCO2-e/dwt/nm), weighted based on IMO defined vessel size ranges utilised by BHP during the time period, using a well-to-wake CO2-e emission factor from EU Regulation 2023/1805. Key adjustments made to baseline year and subsequent data Steelmaking medium-term goal: Not applicable Shipping medium-term goal: Baseline year and performance data have been adjusted to only include voyages associated with the transportation of commodities currently in BHP's portfolio due to the data availability challenges of adjusting by asset or operation for CY2008 and subsequent year data. GHG emissions intensity calculations currently include the transportation of copper, iron ore, steelmaking coal, energy coal, molybdenum, uranium and nickel. Baseline year and performance data have also been adjusted for a methodology change to use maritime transport emission factors from EU Regulation 2023/1805, after The British Standards Institution EN 16258 standard (the source of the emission factors we previously used) was withdrawn in CY2023.

Tracked based on the funding (US$) we commit in collaborative partnerships and venture capital investments with the aim to support industry to develop steel production technology capable of 30 per cent lower GHG emissions intensity relative to conventional blast furnace steelmaking. Shipping medium-term goal: Set as a point in time, i.e. with the specific date of 'by CY2030' for our goal to support a 40 per cent GHG emissions intensity reduction of BHP-chartered shipping of BHP products, while reflecting the challenges and uncertainty and our inability (as BHP alone) to ensure Scope 3 emission reductions. As a result, the goal is not based on a trajectory and does not imply a specific carbon budget, and so Scope 3 emissions may fluctuate (with some increases and/or non-linear decreases) during the period before the goal date. Goal derived using a sectoral decarbonisation approach Steelmaking medium-term goal: Not applicable Shipping medium-term goal: No, although our goal is generally consistent with the IMO's CY2030 emissions intensity goal for the international shipping sector and we selected CY2008 as our goal's baseline year to align with the base year for the IMO's CY2030 goal and its corresponding reasoning and strategy. Process for reviewing the setting of the goal The Board approves BHP's significant social, community and sustainability policies (upon recommendation from the Nomination and Governance Committee), including those related to climate change and climate transition planning, public sustainability goals and targets (including for GHG emission reductions). We review our GHG emissions targets and goals as part of the periodic development of an updated CTAP, or more frequently if required. Process for monitoring progress towards the goal Monitored on a six-monthly basis through our social value scorecard framework, with progress reviewed by management and the Board as part of publication of our half-year results and annual reporting disclosures, or more frequently if required. Third-party validation of our goal No, but we obtain limited assurance over our externally reported performance against our goals. Carbon budget for goal Period Steelmaking medium-term goal: Not applicable Shipping medium-term goal: Our goal is not based on a trajectory and does not imply a specific carbon budget. Expected progression Steelmaking medium-term goal: Not applicable Shipping medium-term goal: Progress towards our goal is expected to be non-linear and affected by organic changes in our production of commodities and associated increases in vessel chartering, due to the dependence on the availability of GHG emission reduction solutions more broadly across the shipping industry.

Value adjustments chain GHG and additional emissions key (Scope details 3 emissions) long-term net zero targets and goal definitions, assumptions, Description Value chain long-term net zero goal: We have a long-term goal of net zero Scope 3 GHG emissions by CY2050. Achievement of this goal is uncertain, particularly given the challenges of a net zero pathway for our customers in steelmaking, and we cannot ensure the outcome alone. Shipping long-term net zero target: Target net zero by CY2050 for the GHG emissions from all shipping of BHP products. Ability to achieve the target is subject to the widespread availability of carbon neutral solutions to meet our requirements, including low to zero GHG emission technologies, fuels, goods and services. Direct suppliers long-term net zero target: Target net zero by CY2050 for the operational GHG emissions of our direct suppliers. Ability to achieve the target is subject to the widespread availability of carbon neutral solutions to meet our requirements, including low to zero GHG emissions technologies, fuels, goods and services. Reference year, and period Reference year: FY2020. FY2020 is used as a reference year to track progress towards our targets and goal but is not a baseline year for achieving our targets or goal. Period: FY2020 to CY2050 Type and reduction Type: Absolute Reduction: Net; 100 per cent Boundary Value chain long-term net zero goal: Total reported Scope 3 emissions are estimated on an equity basis for downstream GHG emissions. For the upstream GHG emissions component, the boundary is defined on a category-by-category basis due to data limitations. Inventory boundary: Scope 3 emissions. Shipping long-term net zero target: GHG emissions from maritime transportation not owned or operated by BHP where the transportation was of BHP-produced products sold by BHP. May be BHP-chartered or third-party-chartered. In some cases, the target's boundary may differ from the boundaries under mandatory reporting. Inventory boundary: Scope 3 emissions, Categories 4 and 9, shipping of BHP products only. Direct suppliers long-term net zero target: Scopes 1 and 2 emissions of our direct suppliers included in BHP's reported Scope 3 emissions reporting categories of purchased goods and services (including capital goods), fuel- and energy-related activities, business travel and employee commuting. In some cases, the target's boundary may differ from the boundaries under mandatory reporting. Inventory boundary: Scope 3 emissions, Categories 1, 3, 6 and 7 (subset) emissions are being used as a proxy for the Scopes 1 and 2 emissions of our direct suppliers. Exclusions Value chain long-term net zero goal: Refer to exclusions for our shipping and suppliers' targets. Shipping long-term net zero target: GHG emissions from maritime transportation not owned or operated by BHP but chartered and paid for by BHP, where the transportation was of third-party-produced products sold by BHP (pursuant to our third-party-trading activity). GHG emissions from maritime transportation not owned or operated by BHP but chartered and paid for by BHP or a third party, where the transportation was of products purchased by BHP. Direct suppliers long-term net zero target: Scope 3 emissions (for our direct suppliers) associated with our purchased goods and services (including capital goods), fuel- and energy-related activities, business travel and employee commuting. GHGs included Value chain long-term net zero goal: Defined by the available data, which differs by Scope 3 emissions category. We intend to continue to improve our GHG emission calculations over time to encompass specific GHGs as data becomes available. Shipping long-term net zero target: CO2, CH4, N2O Direct suppliers long-term net zero target: Defined by the available data, which differs by Scope 3 emissions category. We intend to continue to improve our GHG emission calculations over time to encompass specific GHGs as data becomes available. Offsetting We anticipate offsetting by our customers, suppliers and other third parties will play a role in meeting our long-term net zero goal (and potentially our long-term net zero targets), particularly for residual GHG emissions in steelmaking which are not currently expected to reach zero by CY2050. Where third parties offset their GHG emissions that appear in our reported Scope 3 emissions inventory, we plan to recognise and report the net GHG emissions after offsetting. Carbon credits sourced by third parties in our value chain and associated with GHG emissions that appear in our reported Scope 3 emissions inventory would need to be high-integrity before we recognised that offsetting in our reporting. Our carbon offsetting integrity standards are available at bhp.com/sustainability/climate-change/carbon-offsetting Measurement approach Value chain long-term net zero goal: Description of the calculation methodology used for each Scope 3 emissions category can be found in the BHP GHG Emissions Calculation Methodology 2025, available at bhp.com/sustainability Shipping long-term net zero target: Vessel- and voyage-specific GHG emissions calculated using maritime transport emission factors from EU Regulation 2023/1805. Direct suppliers long-term net zero target: As a proxy for measurement of the Scopes 1 and 2 emissions of our direct suppliers, progress is currently measured using Categories 1, 3, 6 and 7 emissions data using a mix of spend-based and activity-based methodology. Key adjustments made to reference year and subsequent data Value chain long-term net zero goal: Category 1, Category 3, Category 4 (maritime component), Category 9 (maritime component), Category 10, Category 11 and Category 15 GHG emissions in reference year and performance data have been adjusted for the divestment of our interest in Cerrejón (with an effective economic date of 31 December 2020), divestment of our interest in BMC (completed on 3 May 2022), divestment of our interest in the Rhourde Ouled Djemma (ROD) Integrated Development (completed in April 2022), divestment of our Petroleum business (merger with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022), BMA's divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines (completed on 2 April 2024) and acquisition of OZ Minerals (completed on 2 May 2023). The remaining categories have not been adjusted due to their immateriality to our long-term net zero goal. Shipping long-term net zero target: Category 4 (maritime component) and Category 9 (maritime component) GHG emissions in reference year and performance data have been adjusted for a methodology change to use maritime transport emission factors from EU Regulation 2023/1805, after The British Standards Institution (BSI) EN 16258 standard (the source of the emission factors we previously used) was withdrawn in CY2023 (adjustment applicable for reference year and FY2020 to FY2024 performance data), and have been adjusted for the divestment of our interest in BMC (completed on 3 May 2022), divestment of our Petroleum business (merger with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022), BMA's divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines (completed on 2 April 2024) and acquisition of OZ Minerals (completed on 2 May 2023). Direct suppliers long-term net zero target: Category 1 and Category 3 GHG emissions in reference year and performance data have been adjusted for the divestment of our interest in BMC (completed on 3 May 2022), divestment of our Petroleum business (merger with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022), BMA's divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines (completed on 2 April 2024) and acquisition of OZ Minerals (completed on 2 May 2023). Categories 6 and 7 were not adjusted due to their immateriality to our long-term net zero target.

Expected progression Progress towards our targets and goal is expected to be non-linear and affected by organic changes in our production of commodities. 9.9 Nature and environmental performance We recognise the interconnectivity of nature, climate and people and the risks posed by the unprecedented global deterioration of nature, including biodiversity. BHP's business, our suppliers and customers, Indigenous peoples and the local communities where we operate, all depend on and enjoy nature and the ecosystem services it provides. We understand that our operations and our environmental performance can impact the natural environment, including the provision of ecosystem services. We support the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and will continue to progressively evolve our disclosures in consideration of them. Our Environment Global Standard, applicable to BHP's operated assets, details our mandatory minimum performance requirements to deliver on our environmental-related commitments, which include those in the Our environmental-related commitments table below, and manage our environmental risks, using management systems aligned to ISO14001. This Global Standard (alongside our Climate Change Global Standard) also helps supports the achievement of our goals, targets and commitments. Our environmental-related commitments are: We do not explore, extract resources or operate within the boundaries of World Heritage listed properties. We do not explore, extract resources or operate adjacent to World Heritage listed properties, unless the proposed activity is compatible with the outstanding universal values for which the World Heritage property is listed. We do not explore, extract resources or operate within or adjacent to the boundaries of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Protected Areas Categories I to IV, unless a plan is implemented that meets regulatory requirements, takes into account stakeholder and partner (including Indigenous peoples) expectations and contributes to the values for which the protected area is listed. We do not explore, extract resources or operate where there is a risk of direct impacts to ecosystems that could result in the extinction of an IUCN Red List Threatened Species in the wild. We do not dispose of mined waste rock or tailings into a river or marine environment. We do not use aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) containing per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at our operated assets. We replace with fluorine free foam products.

Nature-related goal and targets We are committed to contributing to the global goal of halting and reversing nature loss by 2030, as outlined in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Our environmental commitments, 2030 Healthy environment goal and context-based water targets support our contribution to this global goal. Our 2030 Healthy environment goal is to create nature-positive1 outcomes by having at least 30 per cent of the land and water we steward2 under conservation, restoration or regenerative practices. In doing so we focus on areas of highest ecosystem value both within and outside our own operational footprint, in partnership with Indigenous peoples and local communities. Key progress in FY2025 against our Healthy environment goal includes: – We initiated our BHP Healthy environment goal roadmap by creating an implementation plan for a 158,000-hectare voluntary conservation project at Copper South Australia. The project is expected to be carried out in FY2026. – Carrapateena, Prominent Hill and legacy assets were incorporated into the BHP Healthy environment goal roadmap, which now applies to all our operated assets. – In FY2025, the area under conservation, restoration or regenerative management practices increased by over 14,500 hectares compared to FY2024, to 98,415 hectares. – We advanced our work on valuing nature by obtaining a technical peer review of our natural capital metrics framework. For more information refer to the Biodiversity section. For more information on our 2030 goals, metrics and milestones refer to OFR 9.4 and on progress against our Healthy environment goal refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025 For more information on our context-based water targets refer to the Fresh water and oceans section We are continuing to select projects from our BHP Healthy environment goal roadmap for detailed execution planning and seeking opportunities to design and advance projects in partnership with Indigenous peoples. We are also monitoring the evolving external nature landscape, including developments in nature-related frameworks, standards and methodologies and in definition of the global nature ambition. We are exploring ways to respond to these emerging insights in our approach to our Healthy environment goal. Nature-related risk and impact management Our approach to nature recognises the five key drivers of nature loss outlined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services – changes in land and sea use, direct exploitation of natural resources, climate change, pollution, invasive species; across the four realms of nature – land, ocean, fresh water and atmosphere. We identify, assess and manage environment-related risks (threats and opportunities) according to our mandatory minimum performance requirements for risk management, described in OFR 7, and our Environment Global Standard. In FY2025, we improved our understanding and identified opportunities to improve management of nature-related risk in our value chain. This included identifying prioritised environmental risks to enhance the due diligence undertaken as part of our activities under our Responsible Minerals Program, guided by the OECD's Handbook on Environmental Due Diligence in Mineral Supply Chains. For more information on the nature-related impacts and dependencies evaluated through the development of the BHP Healthy environment goal roadmap refer to bhp.com/environment For more information on our water-related risks refer to bhp.com/water For more information on our Responsible Minerals Program refer to OFR 9.13 and bhp.com/value-chain-sustainability For more information on our environmental approach refer to the Environment Global Standard and our nature-related management and governance processes at bhp.com/environment Fresh water and oceans We depend on access to water and cannot operate without it. Our Water Stewardship Position Statement outlines our vision for a water secure world by 2030. This is supported by our Water Stewardship Strategy, which focuses on understanding and managing water-related risk, disclosure, contributing to the resolution of shared water challenges, valuing water and sharing innovations and learning. We report water data as part of the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025, available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025. Key insights from our FY2025 water performance are outlined below.3 – Seawater withdrawals remained our largest source, accounting for 52 per cent of total withdrawals at 221,860 megalitres (ML), similar to 223,440 ML in FY2024. – Low-quality water (Type 3) made up 62 per cent of total withdrawals, with volumes stable at 266,920 ML, compared to 269,460 ML in FY2024. – Freshwater withdrawals (Type 1 and 2) increased by 46 per cent, rising from 111,120 ML in FY2024 to 162,740 ML in FY2025, primarily due to increased rainfall and runoff at BMA. – Water withdrawals in water-stressed areas decreased from 33,450 ML in FY2024 to 31,830 ML in FY2025, largely due to the cessation of terrestrial groundwater extraction at Cerro Colorado in December 2023. – Water discharges rose by 15 per cent, from 128,100 ML in FY2024 to 147,510 ML in FY2025, driven by increased surface water discharge at BMA following significant rainfall. – Recycled and reused water volumes at Pampa Norte declined significantly due to a further refinement of the calculation methodology and shift from estimated to measured data in one of the flows. Context-based water targets (CBWTs) CBWTs are developed based on water-related risks in the catchment areas and shared water challenges identified through an independent Water Resource Situational Analysis (WRSA). The CBWTs aim to improve our water management and contribute to collective benefit and shared approaches to water management in the regions where we operate. Following the FY2023 release of WRSAs and CBWTs, we added an addendum to our Andean aquifers and San Jorge Bay WRSAs in FY2025 after stakeholder consultations were initially delayed due to social unrest in Chile. This addendum, which reflects the participation of various actors, presents the updated shared challenges and opportunities for collective action for the Altoandina macrozone in the Tarapacá and Antofagasta regions and for San Jorge Bay, all in northern Chile. We also published a WRSA for the Hunter River catchment in New South Wales, Australia, and released a CBWT for NSWEC. The NSWEC CBWT aims to enhance ecosystem connectivity through revegetation and targeted restoration along the Hunter River riparian zones. Additionally, we released a CBWT for the Globe-Miami legacy asset site in Arizona, which aims to improve the sustainability of regional water resources by diverting natural water flows around mine-affected areas. This CBWT was informed by the Cobre Valley Watershed Restoration and Action Plan, a report developed by the Cobre Valley Watershed Partnership with contributions by BHP as a stakeholder. We have now achieved our commitment to develop CBWTs within our operations but may release further CBWTs when appropriate for the operating, environmental and social context.4 We continue to seek opportunities to source our water from lower-grade sources, particularly in water-stressed areas. Both Copper South Australia and Pampa Norte in Chile have CBWTs to materially reduce terrestrial water use. Escondida's operational water withdrawals have been sourced from desalinated seawater since FY20205. Both Escondida and Pampa Norte have a CBWT to improve the water efficiency in mining operations by 10 per cent by FY2030 from a FY2022 baseline, aiming to optimise marine water use. 1. Nature-positive is defined by the TNFD Glossary version 1.0 as 'A high-level goal and concept describing a future state of nature (e.g. biodiversity, ecosystem services and natural capital) which is greater than the current state'. We understand it to include land and water management practices that halt and reverse nature loss – that is, supporting healthy, functioning ecosystems. We are monitoring the evolving external nature landscape, including developments in nature frameworks, standards and methodologies and in definition of the global nature ambition. 2. Excluding areas we hold under greenfield exploration licences (or equivalent tenements), which are outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations. 30 per cent will be calculated based on the areas of land and water that we steward at the end of FY2030. For more information refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025. 3. Water performance data does not include Carrapateena or Prominent Hill operations. We intend to incorporate these operations in our reporting from FY2026, following an update to reporting practices to align to the Minerals Council of Australia's Water Accounting Framework (WAF) and ICMM guidance, 'Water Reporting: Good Practice Guide (2nd edition)'. 4. CBWTs are intended to apply at the asset level for our operated assets. We will review the need to revise or create CBWTs when there are substantial changes to our portfolio or one of our projects moves into the operational phase. 5. Small quantities of groundwater are extracted for pit dewatering and to recover seepage from tailings, to enable safe mining and support environmental control. This water is used for operational consumption.

Progress against FY2025 context-based water target milestones Milestone and due date Progress BMA FY2024, ongoing Make available unutilised1 BMA water allocations to the temporary water trading market for each year from FY2024 This milestone was achieved in FY2024 and again in FY2025. 4 GL of water allocations was traded on the temporary water trading market in FY2025. Pampe Norte FY2024, ongoing Cease extraction of terrestrial water for Cerro Colorado operational use. This milestone was achieved in FY2024 and again in FY2025. Cerro Colorado ceased extracting water from the Lagunillas borefield for operational use in December 2023. Some extraction was maintained to support replenishment of the Lagunillas wetland, which continued in FY2025, with approximately 625 ML extracted and reinjected. A small amount of terrestrial water (~22 ML during FY2025 or approximately 60 kL per day) has been supplied to the Cerro Colorado site for drinking water, sanitation and hygiene purposes by a local water utility since Cerro Colorado entered temporary care and maintenance in December 2023. Western Australia Nickel FY2024 Facilitate establishment of a Northern Goldfields catchment regional water working group The intent of this milestone was achieved in FY2025. BHP participated in, rather than facilitated the establishment of, the Northern Goldfields catchment regional water working group. This was following the establishment of the working group by the Tijwarl Aboriginal Corporation, which occurred after this milestone was set. The first meeting that BHP participated in was held in February 2025. Copper South Australia FY2024, ongoing Implement a permanent daily abstraction limit on Wellfield A at 5 ML/d FY2025 Protect springs from animal and human degradation by fencing and controlling feral animals and weeds on BHP pastoral leases, and contribute to similar programs off-lease This milestone was achieved in FY2024 and again in FY2025. Daily abstraction from Wellfield A remained below 5ML/d throughout FY2025. This milestone was achieved in FY2025. Protection on BHP pastoral lease includes stock-proof fencing, feral animal and weed inspections and control programs. Fencing activities included completion of fencing at the Gosse and Emerald Significant Environment Benefit areas, and the active spring within Jacob Springs group. BHP contributed A$300,000 to the off-lease Lake Eyre Basin Riparian Vegetation and Springs Project, a partnership with the South Australian Arid Lands Landscape Board. 1. Some water allocations at BMA are not made available for sale 'in year' and are retained for strategic contingency purposes as 'carry over'. Unutilised 'carry over' is subject to ongoing assessment throughout the year as to what can be made available. At 30 June, any unused 'carry over' amounts are incorporated into the following financial year's 'in year' water for the total river scheme's announced allocations by the Resource Operator. In some areas, we extract more water than we use through mine dewatering and have set our CBWTs in consideration of this local context. For example, one of WAIO's CBWTs is 'at least 50 per cent of WAIO surplus water will be prioritised for beneficial use to improve the sustainability of regional groundwater resources or generate social value'. For more information on WRSAs and CBWTs refer to bhp.com/water and bhp.com/sustainability/environment/water/shared-water-challenges Detailed information on water accounting and reporting of metrics required by the ICMM Guidance is available at bhp.com/water For more information on our water performance in FY2025 and case studies on activities we are undertaking, including BHP's Global water Challenge, refer to bhp.com/water Biodiversity Our Group-level biodiversity strategy outlines our purpose and strategic priorities and is designed to inform operational decision-making and high-level strategic decisions. It enables alignment of asset-level biodiversity land and water objectives and supports delivery of our 2030 Healthy environment goal. The focus areas in our biodiversity strategy are valuing natural capital, innovation and collaboration, and nature-related disclosures. In FY2025, we advanced our work on valuing nature by obtaining a technical peer review of our natural capital metrics framework, which is designed as a foundational framework to select locally relevant metrics on the state and productivity of nature and guide the development of BHP natural capital accounts. We have identified an initial set of core metrics to track the effectiveness of our land and water management actions, including the conservation, restoration and regenerative actions under our 2030 Healthy environment goal. We have continued to evolve our nature-related disclosures. For example, we have updated our geospatial land data reporting methodology, applying a standardised global equal area projection. We have also developed an in-house methodology to map important biodiversity and ecosystems, based on global, publicly available datasets. We report biodiversity data as part of the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025, available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025. Our work on innovation and collaboration continued through on-ground action in FY2025. For example: – We renewed our commitment to Bush Blitz, a partnership between BHP, the Australian Government and Earthwatch Australia that commenced in 2010, which is Australia's largest nature discovery program to document plants and animals. In September 2024, BHP and the Australian Government made a joint investment of A$11.6 million, of which BHP contributed A$5.8 million, to extend the program for another five years. – Since FY2021, we have partnered with Curtin University on the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) as a novel biomonitoring tool in developing improved ecosystem condition assessments. This program includes research on sampling eDNA from surfaces and air in terrestrial ecosystems, exploring abundance measures from eDNA sequence data, developing ecosystem condition indicators for wetlands and incorporating eDNA data into natural capital accounting approaches. As part of this program, in FY2025 we undertook eDNA sampling at several of our operated assets.

• We extended our partnership with Care for Hedland for two more years, celebrating 20 years of collaboration. A key program is the flatback turtle monitoring program on Port Hedland beaches during nesting and hatching season. • We continued the pilot of the Seascape Framework, one of the world's largest Indigenous created and managed marine conservation initiatives, in partnership with Conservation International based in Fiji. For more information on our 2030 goals, refer to OFR 9.4. For information on our biodiversity strategy refer to bhp.com/biodiversity For more information on our approach to biodiversity and land management and case studies on activities we are undertaking, including our natural capital metrics framework, refer to bhp.com/biodiversity Land As at 30 June 2025, BHP owned, leased or managed approximately 7.9 million hectares of land. Approximately 2 per cent (approximately 149,700 hectares) of this area is currently disturbed for mining operation purposes and approximately 14 per cent (approximately 23,800 hectares) of land we have disturbed is currently rehabilitated. In FY2025, the WAIO progressive rehabilitation program reached a significant milestone, completing over 1,000 hectares of land rehabilitation – most of which was delivered by Traditional Owner rehabilitation contractors. Most of the area we steward is in Australia and is for non-operational land uses, such as pastoral leases or land set aside for conservation. BHP's approach to environmental management is tailored to different area types in our portfolio. In FY2025, BHP owned, leased or managed an area of just under 7.9 million hectares1 consisting of: Outcomes we seek How we manage Operational areas Approximately 149,700 hectares disturbed Predominantly for operational purposes avoiding and minimising impacts to the environment and our host communities from our operational activities no net loss of biodiversity over mine lifecycle compliance with environmental permits Global Standards, including the Environment Global Standard, Climate Change Global Standard and Closure and Legacy Management Global Standard mitigation hierarchy environmental-related commitments Indigenous Peoples Policy Statement Asset Environment Management Systems risk management 2030 social value goals, including Healthy environment goal and associated BHP Healthy environment goal roadmap, and context-based water targets Non-operational areas Including areas we hold for strategic purposes or alternative use (e.g. pastoral or conservation) focus area for our Healthy environment goal of at least 30% of the land and water we steward under conservation, restoration or regenerative practices build resilience of natural environment, focusing on highest ecosystem value strengthening partnerships with Indigenous peoples Global Standards, including Environment Global Standard 2030 social value goals, including Healthy environment goal and associated BHP Healthy environment goal roadmap, and context-based water targets environment-related commitments Indigenous Peoples Policy Statement risk management Outside BHP footprint Refers to areas held by others, including thought leadership on approach to contributing to international efforts to halt and reverse nature loss contributing to positive conservation outcomes beyond the areas where we operate partnerships and funding for both on-ground action, piloting new concepts and thought leadership initiatives BHP funding of the BHP Foundation (non-profit organisation) 1. Land data is calculated as the total area of land owned, leased or managed by BHP at 30 June 2025. This value includes greenfield exploration licences (or equivalent tenements), which are outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations. For more information on our approach to biodiversity and land management and case studies on activities we are undertaking refer to bhp.com/biodiversity For more information on our application of the mitigation hierarchy refer to bhp.com/environment Atmosphere and air quality We are improving how we manage air quality for particulate matter and gaseous emissions. Our programs use real-time monitoring, source sampling, incident tracking and risk-based assessments to better understand and control air quality impacts. Our Environment Global Standard requires an air quality management plan where a material risk of air quality related impact on community wellbeing or a sensitive environmental receptor is identified. Many of our sites have ongoing multi-year improvement initiatives to enhance long-term environmental performance on air quality. We report air emissions (including greenhouse gases and non-greenhouse gases) as part of the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025, available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025, and discuss our approach to and management of these at bhp.com/environment. In FY2025, we recorded a significant decrease in sulphur dioxide emissions following Western Australia Nickel going into temporary suspension.

Environmental legal cases In FY2025, seven fines totalling $US8,065,961 were issued, and then paid, in relation to environmental laws and regulations at our operated assets. For more information refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025 and Section 13 of the Directors Report. An example from Monturaqui (Escondida) is described below. Monturaqui (Escondida) In March 2022, the Chilean Environmental Regulator (SMA) sanctioned Escondida, concluding it had breached its environmental permit due to its water extraction from the Monturaqui aquifer. In March 2022, the SMA imposed a fine of approximately US$8 million. In February 2023, Escondida filed an appeal before the First Environmental Court seeking to annul the SMA decision. Shortly after the March 2022 SMA decision, two related environmental damage claims were filed in the First Environment Court of Antofagasta by the Attorney General's Office and the Peine Indigenous community. In October 2024, the case's claimants, the Chilean Attorney General's Office and the Peine Indigenous community, and defendants, Escondida, Compañía Minera Zaldivar (CMZ) and Albemarle (the latter two being other companies that extract (or previously extracted) from the Monturaqui aquifer), agreed on a US$98 million settlement proposal which was approved by the First Environmental Court. BHP and the involved parties are defining the schedule and governance procedures to implement the agreement. Escondida's share is US$76 million. At the same time as it approved the settlement, the Environmental Court also issued a decision denying Escondida's separate appeal against the US$8 million SMA fine. Escondida did not appeal the latter decision to the Supreme Court and paid the fine. This concludes the environmental damages claim. Engagement For activities related to our operated assets, BHP engages across communities, Indigenous peoples' representatives, government, industry association memberships, our customers and suppliers, business and civil society on environmental management and nature-related topics. Through industry associations, such as the International Council on Mining and Metals and the CEO Water Mandate, we contribute to their advocacy efforts with governments. In FY2025, our focus within the industry has been on streamlining approvals and permits while maintaining environmental performance standards and recognising that environmental, social and economic factors must be considered in these processes. Specific examples include: – engaging directly and indirectly (through the Minerals Council of Australia and Business Council of Australia) with the Australian Government on Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act reforms, expressing alignment with the Government's aim to reform national environmental laws so it achieves the right balance between better outcomes for the environment and supporting economic growth, investment and job creation – indirect advocacy through the Chilean Mining Council regarding a legislative bill that modifies various legal bodies to strengthen environmental institutions and improve their efficiency; a bill on the use of seawater for desalination; and a bill on sectoral authorisations. For more information refer to the Chilean Mining Council at consejominero.cl/documentos 9.10 Tailings storage facilities Tailings storage facilities (TSFs) are dynamic structures that accommodate the leftover materials from the processing of mined ore. Managing the safety and integrity of our TSFs across our operated and closed assets to protect people, the environment and communities where we operate is a primary focus. Our TSF Policy Statement is available at bhp.com/sustainability/tailings-storage-facilities Our approach to TSF governance For TSFs, we mandate three key first-line roles across our operated assets: Dam Owner, Responsible Tailings Facility Engineer and Engineer of Record. The second line comprises dam safety reviews, independent tailings review boards, tailings governance reviews and project-specific, independent-peer reviews, with our Internal Audit team comprising the third line. For more information on the three lines model refer to OFR 7 In accordance with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), the outcomes and actions resulting from the activities at each line are required to be documented, monitored, actioned and communicated on a regular basis to the relevant asset personnel, four Accountable Executives, who oversee TSF operations and governance, Executive Leadership Team, and the Board's Committees in accordance with operational and governance processes. Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management disclosure We are committed to achieving alignment with the global benchmark for social, environmental and technical outcomes described within the GISTM for all operated TSFs. We support detailed, transparent and integrated disclosure regarding TSF management, publishing a public disclosure document on our website for all TSFs in alignment with the GISTM, supported by the BHP ESG Standards and Databook available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025. We have engaged a third-party contractor to progressively validate GISTM conformance aligned to the ICMM recommended timeframes. As of August 2025, 61 of BHP's TSFs are aligned with GISTM, with the remaining nine working towards alignment. Of the partially aligned TSFs, one TSF is classified as extreme consequence,1 three TSFs are classified as high consequence and the remainder are classified as significant or low consequence. We have received third-party validation of our alignment for 22 TSFs, representing 92 per cent of our very high and extreme consequence classification TSFs. The remainder of the aligned TSFs are based on BHP's assessment of GISTM alignment. These TSFs will be validated by a third party in line with ICMM recommended timeframes. The classification of a TSF as partially aligned with GISTM is not a statement on that TSF's risk or safety, but rather an assessment on the TSF's conformance to the GISTM. BHP's governance and risk management frameworks are in place across our operated sites and manage TSF safety and integrity. The GISTM public disclosure document details the work required and timeframe to achieve alignment for those TSFs that are currently only partially aligned. For our Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management Public Disclosure 2025 refer to bhp.com/sustainability 9.11 Community Understanding communities Our approach to understanding community priorities and concerns includes: At a global level, in FY2025: – BHP invited members of host communities, including Indigenous peoples, to participate in community perception surveys at our operated assets and several exploration regions, providing their perspectives regarding their community priorities, of BHP and our industry more broadly. – We progressed implementation of the feedback from a review by an external human rights expert of our globally consistent methodology for community and human rights impact and opportunity assessments, which was first trialled in FY2023 and FY2024. The feedback has formed the basis for a revised methodology, which seeks to better integrate stakeholder engagement with the assessment and facilitate more consistency across our operated assets. Our next assessments using the revised methodology will commence from FY2026 and these will be used to inform our business and functional plans. 1. This TSF's classification increased to extreme during FY2025. Information on the basis of the current classification, along with general information on consequence classifications is available in the GISTM Public Disclosure at bhp.com/sustainability

66 BHP Annual Report 2025 11 Risk factors Our risk factors are described below and may occur as a result of our activities globally, including in connection with our operated and non-operated assets, third parties engaged by BHP or through our value chain. These risks, individually or collectively, could threaten our strategy, business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity and reputation. They could also materially and adversely affect the health and safety of our people or members of the public, the environment, the communities where we or our third-party partners and providers operate, or the interests of our partners and stakeholders, which could in each case lead to litigation, regulatory investigations or enforcement actions (including class actions or actions arising from contractual, legacy or other liabilities associated with divested assets), or a loss of partner, stakeholder and/or investor confidence. References to financial performance include our financial condition and liquidity, including due to decreased profitability or increased operating costs, capital spend, remediation costs or contingent liabilities. BHP may also be exposed to risks that we currently believe to be immaterial that may materially affect our business if they occur. Each risk factor may present opportunities as well as threats. We take certain risks for strategic reward in the pursuit of our strategy and purpose. Some of the potential threats and opportunities associated with each of our risk factors are described below. Managements approach to manage these risks is also described at a high level. However, these actions are not exhaustive and many Group-wide controls (such as Our Code, Risk Framework, mandatory minimum performance requirements for risk management, health, safety and other matters, and our Contractor Management Framework) help to support effective and efficient management of all risks in line with our risk appetite. For our non-operated joint ventures, we have a dedicated non-operated joint venture team and we manage risks to BHPs investments by seeking to enhance governance processes and influencing operator companies to adopt international standards and best practices in line with respective joint venture agreements.

As the BMA (US$/t) 127.50 119.54 market turns more competitive, some additional high-cost suppliers may leave the market in the coming years. Key drivers of Coals financial results We maintain our view that Chinas steel production is likely to maintain its plateau around the 1 Bt level until the late 2020s. However, Chinese pig Price overview iron production is expected to decline over this period with more scrap Steelmaking coal prices declined in second half of FY2025 as seaborne used in steelmaking.

On the supply side, traditional suppliers may need to weigh Indian pig iron production growth remained strong. Lower demand from future investment to sustain production in the face of grade decline Developed Asia and Europe, and higher domestic coal production in and resource depletion. China weighed on global seaborne steelmaking coal demand. Weak steel margins outside China also prompted steel mills to reduce their blend Production of premium coals. Total Iron Ore production increased by 1 per cent to a record 263 Mt. In the near term, the recovery of Australian supply is likely to continue. WAIO delivered another full year production record of 257 Mt (290 Mt Chinese policy toward domestic coal supply remains a key uncertainty on a 100 per cent basis) and record shipments. This strong performance for global steelmaking coal markets, with Chinese coking coal prices reflects supply chain excellence with record productive movement, in increasing since July owing to market expectations for supply intervention. addition to improved rail cycle times, and enhanced car dumper and Over the longer term, we expect that higher quality steelmaking coals, such ship loader performance unlocked by the Port Debottlenecking Project 1 as those produced by our BMA assets, will be valued for their role in reducing (PDP1).

Excluding the divestment, Jansen Stage 1 is 68 per cent complete with estimated date of first production production increased 5 per cent underpinned by improved truck under review, which may revert to the original schedule of mid-CY2027. productivity that led to increased production across all open cut mines. Price overview Energy coal Potash prices moved higher during the second half of FY2025 on NSWEC production decreased by 2 per cent to 15 Mt due to increased strong demand, particularly from India and Southeast Asia, reports of wet weather impacting truck productivity, as well as a higher proportion maintenance at Russian and Belarusian mines, and disruptions in Laos. of washed coal and reduced truck availability in Q1, partially offset by In FY2026, we expect the potash market to come closer to balance as a drawdown of inventory. demand adjusts to current market conditions. Financial results In the medium term, potash demand is expected to continue to benefit from Coal revenue decreased by US$2.6 billion to US$5.0 billion in FY2025 a rising and wealthier population and changing diets, while additional supply mainly due to lower average realised prices and the divestment of from traditional and emerging basins is also expected to be added to the Blackwater and Daunia in FY2024. market over this period.

The estimated impact of changes in commodity prices in FY2025 on our key financial measures is set out below. BMA unit costs in FY2026 are expected to be between US$116 and US$128 per tonne (based on an exchange rate of AUD/USD 0.65) .

While demand for electric vehicles in China has grown strongly, sales penetration in OECD countries has been below expectations. The share of non-nickel battery chemistries has also risen, weighing on near-term nickel demand growth. These trends are expected to continue in the near term, suggesting that the market will remain in surplus. Indonesian supply continues to grow strongly, though Indonesian government policy remains a key factor for future growth. Production Western Australia Nickel (WAN) production decreased by 63 per cent to 30 kt, as operations transitioned into temporary suspension in December 2024. Financial results WAN revenue decreased by US$0.7 billion to US$0.8 billion in FY2025, as operations transitioned into temporary suspension in December 2024. WAN recorded an Underlying EBITDA loss of US$0.6 billion in FY2025, including care and maintenance program of works, compared to a loss of US$0.3 billion in FY2024. Outlook As previously announced, BHP intends to review the decision to temporarily suspend WAN by February 2027. As part of this review, BHP is assessing the potential divestment of the WAN assets. Any decision to divest will be subject to an assessment against other options, including continuing temporary suspension, restart or closure.

13.1 Definition and calculation of non-IFRS financial information Non-IFRS financial information Reasons why we believe the non-IFRS financial information is useful Calculation methodology Underlying attributable profit Allows the comparability of underlying financial performance by excluding the impacts of exceptional items and is also the basis on which our dividend payout ratio policy is applied. Profit after taxation attributable to BHP shareholders excluding any exceptional items attributable to BHP shareholders. Underlying basic earnings per share On a per share basis, allows the comparability of underlying financial performance by excluding the impacts of exceptional items. Underlying attributable profit divided by the weighted basic average number of shares. Underlying EBITDA Used to help assess current operational profitability excluding the impacts of sunk costs (i.e. depreciation from initial investment). Each is a measure that management uses internally to assess the performance of the Group's segments and make decisions on the allocation of resources. Earnings before net finance costs, depreciation, amortisation and impairments, taxation expense, Discontinued operations and exceptional items. Underlying EBITDA includes BHP's share of profit/(loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method, including net finance costs, depreciation, amortisation and impairments and taxation expense/(benefit). Underlying EBITDA margin Underlying EBITDA excluding third-party product EBITDA, divided by revenue excluding third-party product revenue. Underlying EBIT Used to help assess current operational profitability excluding net finance costs and taxation expense (each of which are managed at the Group level) as well as Discontinued operations and any exceptional items. Earnings before net finance costs, taxation expense, Discontinued operations and any exceptional items. Underlying EBIT includes BHP's share of profit/(loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method, including net finance costs and taxation expense/(benefit). Profit from operations Earnings before net finance costs, taxation expense and Discontinued operations. Profit from operations includes Revenue, Other income, Expenses excluding net finance costs and BHP's share of profit/(loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method, including net finance costs and taxation expense/(benefit). Capital and exploration expenditure Used as part of our Capital Allocation Framework to assess efficient deployment of capital. Represents the total outflows of our operational investing expenditure. Purchases of property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation expenditure. Free cash flow It is a key measure used as part of our Capital Allocation Framework. Reflects our operational cash performance inclusive of investment expenditure, which helps to highlight how much cash was generated in the period to be available for the servicing of debt and distribution to shareholders. Net operating cash flows less net investing cash flows. Net debt Net debt shows the position of gross debt less index-linked freight contracts offset by cash immediately available to pay debt if required and any associated derivative financial instruments. Liability associated with index-linked freight contracts, which are required to be remeasured to the prevailing freight index at each reporting date, are excluded from the net debt calculation due to the short-term volatility of the index they relate to not aligning with how the Group uses net debt for decision making in relation to the Capital Allocation Framework. Net debt includes the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to hedge cash and borrowings to reflect the Group's risk management strategy of reducing the volatility of net debt caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates. Net debt, along with the gearing ratio, is used to monitor the Group's capital management by relating net debt relative to equity from shareholders. Interest bearing liabilities less liability associated with index-linked freight contracts less cash and cash equivalents less net cross currency and interest rate swaps less net cash management related instruments for the Group at the reporting date. Gearing ratio Ratio of Net debt to Net debt plus Net assets. Net operating assets Enables a clearer view of the assets deployed to generate earnings by highlighting the net operating assets of the business separate from the financing and tax balances. This measure helps provide an indicator of the underlying performance of our assets and enhances comparability between them. Operating assets net of operating liabilities, including the carrying value of equity accounted investments and predominantly excludes cash balances, loans to associates, interest bearing liabilities, derivatives hedging our net debt, assets held for sale, liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale and tax balances. Underlying return on capital employed (ROCE) Indicator of the Group's capital efficiency and is provided on an underlying basis to allow comparability of underlying financial performance by excluding the impacts of exceptional items. Profit after taxation excluding exceptional items and net finance costs (after taxation) divided by average capital employed. Profit after taxation excluding exceptional items and net finance costs (after taxation) is profit after taxation excluding exceptional items, net finance costs and the estimated taxation impact of net finance costs. These are annualised for a half year end reporting period. The estimated tax impact is calculated using a prima facie taxation rate on net finance costs (excluding any foreign exchange impact). Average capital employed is calculated as the average of net assets less net debt for the last two reporting periods. Adjusted effective tax rate Provides an underlying tax basis to allow comparability of underlying financial performance by excluding the impacts of exceptional items. Total taxation expense/(benefit) excluding exceptional items and exchange rate movements included in taxation expense/(benefit) divided by Profit before taxation excluding exceptional items.

Unit costs are adjusted for site specific non-controllable factors to enhance comparability between the Group's assets. Ratio of net costs of the assets to the equity share of sales tonnage. Net costs is defined as revenue less Underlying EBITDA and excludes freight, re-allocation of the costs associated with the employee entitlements and allowance review in FY2023, and other costs, depending on the nature of each asset. Freight is excluded as the Group believes it provides a similar basis of comparison to our peer group. The re-allocation to assets in FY2024 and FY2025 of the costs associated with the employee entitlements and allowances review in FY2023 are excluded in asset unit costs as these costs were already recognised in Group and Unallocated in FY2023. Escondida, Spence and Copper South Australia unit costs exclude: – by-product credits being the favourable impact of by-products (such as gold or silver) to determine the directly attributable costs of copper production – government royalties, as these are costs that are not deemed to be under the Group's control and the Group believes exclusion provides a similar basis of comparison to our peer group WAIO and BMA unit costs exclude: – government royalties, as these are costs that are not deemed to be under the Group's control and the Group believes exclusion provides a similar basis of comparison to our peer group 13.2 Definition and calculation of principal factors The method of calculation of the principal factors that affect the period on period movements of Revenue, Profit from operations and Underlying EBITDA are as follows: Principal factor Method of calculation Change in sales prices Change in average realised price for each operation from the prior period to the current period, multiplied by current period sales volumes. Price-linked costs Change in price-linked costs (mainly royalties) for each operation from the prior period to the current period, multiplied by current period sales volumes. Change in volumes Change in sales volumes for each operation multiplied by the prior year average realised price less variable unit cost. Controllable cash costs Total of operating cash costs and exploration and business development costs. Operating cash costs Change in total costs, other than price-linked costs, exchange rates, inflation on costs, fuel, energy and consumable price movements, non-cash costs and one-off items as defined below for each operation from the prior period to the current period. Exploration and evaluation and business development Exploration and evaluation and business development expense in the current period minus exploration and business development expense in the prior period. Exchange rates Change in exchange rate multiplied by current period local currency revenue and expenses. Inflation on costs Change in inflation rate applied to expenses, other than depreciation and amortisation, price-linked costs, exploration and business development expenses, expenses in ceased and sold operations and expenses in new and acquired operations. Fuel, energy and consumable price movements Fuel and energy expense and price differences above inflation on consumables in the current period minus fuel and energy expense in the prior period. Non-cash Change in net impact of capitalisation and depletion of deferred stripping from the prior period to the current period. One-off items Change in costs exceeding a pre-determined threshold associated with an unexpected event that had not occurred in the last two years and is not reasonably likely to occur within the next two years. Asset sales Profit/(loss) on the sale of assets or operations in the current period minus profit/(loss) on sale of assets or operations in the prior period. Ceased and sold operations Underlying EBITDA for operations that ceased (including temporary suspension) or were sold in the current period minus Underlying EBITDA for operations that ceased (including temporary suspension) or were sold in the prior period. New and acquired operations Underlying EBITDA for operations that were acquired in the current period minus Underlying EBITDA for operations that were acquired in the prior period. Share of profit/(loss) from equity accounted investments Share of profit/(loss) from equity accounted investments for the current period minus share of profit/(loss) from equity accounted investments in the prior period. Other Variances not explained by the above factors.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations and reflect judgements, assumptions, estimates and other information available, as at the date of this Report. These statements do not represent guarantees or predictions of future financial or operational performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this Report. BHP cautions against reliance on any forward-looking statements. For example, our future revenues from our assets, projects or mines described in this Report will be based, in part, on the market price of the commodities produced, which may vary significantly from current levels or those reflected in our reserves and resources estimates. These variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or mines, or the continuation of existing assets. Other factors that may affect our future operations and performance, including the actual construction or production commencement dates, revenues, costs or production output and anticipated lives of assets, mines or facilities include: (i) our ability to profitably produce and deliver the products extracted to applicable markets; (ii) the development and use of new technologies and related risks; (iii) the impact of economic and geopolitical factors, including foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the commodities we produce and competition in the markets in which we operate; (iv) activities of government authorities in or impacting the countries where we sell our products and in the countries where we are exploring or developing projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes and royalties or implementation or expansion of trade or export restrictions; (v) changes in environmental and other regulations; (vi) political or geopolitical uncertainty and conflicts; (vii) labour unrest; (viii) weather, climate variability or other manifestations of climate change; and (ix) other factors identified in the risk factors set out in OFR 11. In addition, there are limitations with respect to scenario analysis, including any climate-related scenario analysis, and it is difficult to predict which, if any, of the scenarios might eventuate. Scenario analysis is not an indication of probable outcomes and relies on assumptions that may or may not prove to be correct or eventuate. Except as required by applicable regulations or by law, BHP does not undertake to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance. Emissions and energy consumption data Due to the inherent uncertainty and limitations in measuring GHG emissions and operational energy consumption under the calculation methodologies used in the preparation of such data, all GHG emissions and operational energy consumption data or references to GHG emissions and operational energy consumption volumes (including ratios or percentages) in this Report are estimates. There may also be differences in the manner that third parties calculate or report GHG emissions or operational energy consumption data compared to BHP, which means third-party data may not be comparable to our data. For information on how we calculate our GHG emissions and operational energy consumption, refer to the BHP GHG Emissions Calculation Methodology 2025, available at bhp.com/sustainability This Report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board.

Corporate Governance Statement continued 4.2 Director independence The Board is committed to ensuring that a majority of Directors are independent. The Board has adopted a policy that it uses to determine the independence of its Directors. The Policy on the Independence of Directors is available at bhp.com/governance Determination of Director independence The Board confirms that it considers all current Non-executive Directors, including the Chair, to be independent of management and free of any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect their capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of BHP as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party. A determination of independence is carried out upon a Director's appointment and re-election, annually, and when any new interests, positions or relationships are disclosed by a Director. Some Directors hold or have previously held positions in companies that BHP has commercial relationships with. The Board has assessed the relationships between BHP and the companies in which Directors hold or held positions and has concluded that the relationships do not interfere with the Directors' capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board, or their ability to act in the best interests of BHP as a whole. Dion Weisler was appointed Non-executive Director of Qantas Airways Limited in March 2025. Qantas provides BHP with air travel services including for workers at BHP's Minerals Australia operations. Dion does not have any active role in the provision of services by Qantas to BHP. Catherine Tanna was appointed Non-executive Director at Bechtel Corporation and Chair of Bechtel Australia in 2023. Bechtel supplies BHP with engineering and other services at BHP assets in Minerals Australia and Minerals America. Catherine does not have any active role in the provision of services by Bechtel to BHP. The Board has assessed each of the relationships separately and, is satisfied that Dion and Catherine continue to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of BHP as a whole rather than the interests of an individual security holder or other party. Conflicts of interest In accordance with Australian law, if a situation arises for consideration where a Director has a material personal interest, the affected Director takes no part in decision-making unless approval is provided by the non-interested Directors. Provisions for Directors' interests are set out in the Constitution of BHP Group Limited. 4.3 Board appointments and succession planning Board succession planning The Board adopts a structured and rigorous approach to Board succession planning to facilitate the orderly replacement of current Directors and guard against the consequences of unforeseen departures and oversees the development of a diverse pipeline. This process is continuous, with the aim of allowing the Board to determine an appropriate balance on the Board between experience and fresh perspectives, and the Board continues to be fit for purpose. Before the Board formally appoints a person or puts a person forward for election, the Board, with the assistance of external consultants, will conduct appropriate background and reference checks as to that person's character, experience, education and criminal and bankruptcy history. The Board has adopted a letter of appointment that contains the terms on which Non-executive Directors will be appointed, including the basis upon which they will be indemnified by the Group. The letter of appointment defines the role of Directors, including the expectations in terms of independence, participation, time commitment and continuous improvement. Written agreements are in place for all Non-executive Directors. Chair transition Ken MacKenzie retired from the Board on 31 March 2025, having been an independent Non-executive Director of BHP since September 2016 and the Chair of the Board since September 2017. The Board elected Ross McEwan to succeed Ken MacKenzie as Chair of the Board and Ross was appointed as Chair on 31 March 2025. Ross has been a Non-executive Director of BHP since April 2024. The appointment of Ross McEwan as Chair followed a formal Chair succession process led by BHP Senior Independent Director, Gary Goldberg. The Group Chair succession planning process is the responsibility of the Board which makes all decisions on Chair succession, including the appointment of the Chair. The role of the Nomination and Governance Committee is to support the Board in its decision-making by periodically reviewing the Chair succession process and undertaking tasks or activities to prepare for a succession event, at the request of the Board. 4.4 Director induction, training and development Upon appointment, each new Non-executive Director undertakes an induction program tailored to their needs. Non-executive Directors also undertake an induction program when they join a new Committee, which is tailored to the areas specific to that Committee's role and the Director's previous experience. The Chair also undertakes an induction program when they are appointed as Chair of the Board. Following the induction program, Non-executive Directors participate in continuous improvement activities through a training and development program, which is overseen by the Nomination and Governance Committee to help Directors, individually and collectively, develop and maintain the skills and knowledge to assist them in performing their role effectively. The training and development program is periodically reviewed to maximise effectiveness and to tailor the program to the Directors' needs and the Board's areas of focus. Throughout the year, the Chair discusses development areas with each Director. Board Committees review and agree their needs for more briefings. The benefit of this approach is that induction and learning opportunities can be tailored to Directors' Committee memberships, as well as the Board's specific areas of focus. This approach is also intended to ensure a coordinated process for succession planning, Board renewal, training and development and Committee composition. In turn, these processes are relevant to the Nomination and Governance Committee's role in identifying appropriate Non-executive Director candidates. Examples of activities in the training and development program include: – briefings, development sessions and deep dives to provide each Director with a deeper understanding of the activities, environment, key issues and direction of BHP assets, along with broader sustainability, climate?related, geopolitical and cybersecurity considerations – training on crisis management – site visits to provide insights into key issues at BHP's sites and to provide an opportunity for direct engagement with a cross-section of our workforce, community members, contractors, Indigenous and First Nations representatives and other stakeholders – engagement with external experts to discuss views on current and emerging trends and risks (threats and opportunities) 4.5 Director skills, experience and attributes Overarching statement of Board requirements At BHP, we know inclusive and diverse teams are safer and more productive. This is because people in these teams are more willing to share ideas and collaborate with colleagues, and they make better decisions as a result. Our teams with a more balanced mix of women and men report more safety hazards, have lower unplanned absentee rates and achieve more planned work. The BHP Board is no different and believes its members should comprise Directors with a broad range of skills and perspectives for the Board to: – provide the breadth and depth of understanding necessary to effectively create long-term shareholder value – protect and promote the interests of BHP and the creation of social value – ensure the talent, capability and culture of BHP support the long-term delivery of our strategy 92 BHP Annual Report 2025

The Board believes each Non-executive Director has demonstrated the attributes of sufficient time to undertake the responsibilities of the role, honesty and integrity, and a preparedness to question, challenge and critique throughout the year through their participation in Board meetings, and the other activities they have undertaken in their roles. Skills matrix The Board, supported by the Nomination and Governance Committee, reviews the skills and diversity represented by the Directors on the Board and determines whether the composition and mix of those skills remains appropriate to achieve BHP's purpose and strategy. The Board maintains a skills matrix that identifies the skills and experience the Board needs for the next period of BHP's development, considering BHP's circumstances and the changing external environment. The Board skills matrix identifies the future-facing skills the Board intends to build, acquire and retain over the medium term in anticipation of its needs as it pursues its strategy of securing growth options in future?facing commodities. The Board skills matrix not only indicates the skills and expertise the Board currently possesses but also provides an illustration of the new skills the Board intends to acquire. An external service provider is engaged to assess the skills and experience of the Directors on the Board for the purposes of the skills matrix. The provider objectively assesses the competency and experience of each Director. Where a Director is assessed as having a high level of experience or competency for a particular category, they are included in the skills matrix for that category. The Board collectively possesses all the skills and experience set out in the skills matrix, and each Director satisfies the Board requirements and attributes discussed above. 4.6 Diversity BHP has adopted an Inclusion and Diversity Position Statement, which sets out our diversity policy and our priorities to accelerate the delivery of a more inclusive work environment and to enhance overall workplace diversity. BHP's Inclusion and Diversity Position Statement is summarised in OFR 9.5 and available at bhp.com/careers/inclusion?diversity In April 2025, we achieved our aspirational goal to achieve gender balance within our employee workforce globally by CY2025. We define gender balance as a minimum 40 per cent women and 40 per cent men, in line with the definitions used by entities such as the International Labour Organization. The Board is responsible for approving the measurable objectives for achieving diversity in the composition of the Board, senior executives and workforce generally and assessing the Group's progress in achieving those measurable objectives, which are set out below. The Nomination and Governance Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on the diversity and measurable objectives for achieving diversity in the composition of the Board and reviews the progress in achieving those measurable objectives. Measurable objective for FY2025 Progress in FY2025 Achieve gender-balanced representation for the employee workforce to 40 per cent by the end of FY2025. Achieved in April 2025. As at the end of FY2025, our employee workforce is gender balanced with 41.3 per cent women. Maintain gender-balanced representation for the Board and senior executives (defined as ELT and direct reports to the ELT in grade 15 and above roles). Our Board continued to be gender balanced in FY2025. Our senior executive ranks remain consistent and represent 41.3 per cent women in FY2025. For more information on our focus areas for diversity during FY2025 and the respective proportions of men and women on the Board, in senior executive positions and across the employee workforce refer to OFR 9.5 More diversity data is available in the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/ESGSD2025 Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 93

Corporate Governance Statement continued The Board's composition reflects gender balance and a diversity of experience, education and geographic background. As at 30 June 2025, 44 per cent of Directors are female and the BHP Board satisfies the target in the UK Listing Rules of having at least 40 per cent female Directors and the guidance of having at least 30 per cent of Directors of each gender in accordance with the ASX Fourth Edition. BHP also satisfies the UK Listing Rule target of having at least one Director from a minority ethnic background on the Board. Tenure 44% 22% 33% 0–2 years 2–4 years 5+ years Region of nationality Australia/NZ Europe/UK North America Gender diversity Male Female 56% 44% 11% 33% 56% Board tenure and diversity Review of individual Director performance The Board has adopted a policy for all Non-executive Directors to seek re-election annually. The Board uses the results of Director performance evaluations in considering whether to nominate a Director for election or re-election by shareholders. In FY2025, an assessment was conducted of each Director's performance prior to their nomination for re-election with the assistance of external service provider, Lintstock. Lintstock does not have any other connection with the Group or individual Directors. The assessment of Directors focused on the contribution of each Director to the work of the Board and its Committees, and the expectations of Directors as set out in BHP's governance framework. In addition, the assessment focused on how each Director contributes to Board cohesion and effective relationships with fellow Directors, commits the time required to fulfil their role and effectively performs their responsibilities. Directors were asked to comment on areas where their fellow Directors contribute the greatest value and potential areas for development. Lintstock provided feedback it received to the Chair, which was then discussed with Directors. Feedback relating to the Chair was discussed with the Chair by the Senior Independent Director. As a result of these outcomes, the review supported the Board's decision to recommend each Director standing for re-election. Committee assessments Following an assessment of its work, each Committee concluded that it had met the requirements under its Charter in FY2025. 5. Board Committees The Board has four standing Committees and has delegated a number of duties to each Committee to assist the Board in exercising its responsibilities and discharging its duties. Each Committee's Charter sets out the Committee's roles and responsibilities. The Committee Charters are reviewed annually and each Committee reviewed their Charter in FY2025. The Charters are available at bhp.com/governance BHP's Board and Committee governance structure facilitates a considered and integrated approach on key matters, for example: – Climate change is a Board-level issue. The Board is responsible for the governance and oversight of climate change issues, including in relation to our strategic approach, risk management and public disclosures. The Board approves significant social, community and sustainability policies, including those related to climate change and public sustainability goals and targets, and oversees performance against our strategy, goals and targets. The Board is supported by each of its Committees: – The Nomination and Governance Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on the Group's significant social, community and sustainability policies, including those related to climate change. The Committee also reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on the Group's public sustainability targets and goals. – The Risk and Audit Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in overseeing and reviewing emerging and principal risks facing the Group, including climate risks. The Risk and Audit Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board public financial disclosures regarding sustainability matters. – The Sustainability Committee reviews and advises the Board on the adequacy of the Group's governance and performance in relation to climate matters. The Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board disclosures regarding sustainability matters in the Annual Report and other public documents related to the Group's reporting on climate matters. BHP does not currently satisfy the UK Listing Rule target that at least one of the senior positions on the Board (which for BHP is the Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Senior Independent Director) is held by a woman. The UK Listing Rule target also includes the Chief Financial Officer in the category of a senior position on the Board. Vandita Pant was appointed as Chief Financial Officer in March 2024, but, in common with Australian listed company practice, the Chief Financial Officer is not a Director on the Board of BHP. As part of its succession planning, the Board reviews the skills and experience (including gender, age, personal strengths and social and ethnic backgrounds) represented by Directors on the Board and determines whether the composition and mix of those skills and diversity remains appropriate to achieve BHP's purpose and strategy. The tables in Additional information 7 set out the information required under the UK Listing Rules on diversity as at 30 June 2025. The data presented in these tables was collected by requesting all members of the Board, ELT and Group Company Secretary self?report in questionnaires that include the tables prescribed by the UK Listing Rules. 4.7 Board evaluation The Board is committed to transparency in assessing the performance of Directors. The Board conducts regular evaluations of its performance, the performance of its Committees, the Group Chair, Directors and the governance processes that support the Board's work. The evaluation considers the balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the Group on the Board, its diversity and culture, and the operation of governance processes. In FY2025, an internal evaluation was conducted with the assistance of external service provider, Lintstock. An external Board evaluation is conducted approximately every three years and was last conducted in FY2023. 94 BHP Annual Report 2025

6.2 Senior management succession A senior management succession process is conducted to support pipeline stability for critical roles. A talent deep dive is conducted by the Board at least once a year to evaluate these pipelines. Senior management succession is viewed from a five-year perspective that considers the readiness of successors across time horizons, contexts and future capability demands. Select Board members are involved in the interview process for executive-level appointments one level below the CEO and occasionally for roles two levels below the CEO. Appropriate checks are undertaken before appointing a member of the ELT. BHP has a written agreement with each ELT member setting out the terms of their appointment. 6.3 Performance evaluation of executives The performance of executives and other senior employees is reviewed on an annual basis. The annual performance review process considers the performance of executives against criteria designed to capture 'what' is achieved and 'how' it is achieved. All performance assessments of executives include how effective they have been in undertaking their role and what they have achieved against their specified key performance indicators. A performance evaluation was conducted for all members of the ELT during FY2025. For the CEO, the performance evaluation was led by the Chair of the Board on behalf of all the Non-executive Directors and was discussed with the People and Remuneration Committee and considered by the Board. 7. Shareholders and reporting 7.1 Shareholder and stakeholder engagement BHP shareholder engagement practices BHP engages regularly with our shareholders to understand their views and feedback and we have an investor relations program to provide avenues for effective and timely two-way communication with investors.

Stakeholder engagement Site visits Directors visit several of our sites and offices each year. These site visits provide an opportunity for Directors to engage directly with our workforce, partners, community members, Indigenous and First Nations representatives, customers and contractors. The objective of the site visits is to provide Directors with local context and to deepen their understanding of the Group's operations, culture, material risks and risk management processes, and other issues relevant to the specific site. Site visits in FY2025 included Copper South Australia (August 2024), BMA (October 2024), legacy assets and Resolution Copper (April 2025) and customer site visits (June 2025). The site visits also form an important part of the induction program for new Directors. Workforce Directors also have the opportunity to engage directly with a cross-section of our workforce at Board and Committee meetings, at Director briefing sessions and during visits to our sites and offices. These formal and informal engagements can help to give the Board further insights into our operations and projects and enable discussions with our workforce on matters such as BOS, culture, risk management and continuous improvement at our assets and offices. The engagements also give our people the opportunity to better understand the Board and to provide direct feedback to Directors on topics that are important to them. Communities and Indigenous engagement Directors have the opportunity to meet with Traditional Owners, Indigenous partners and community representatives during visits to our sites, at Director briefing sessions and at events hosted by the Board and Chair. In FY2024, we completed an inaugural assessment of the health of our relationships with a range of our Indigenous partners in Australia, Canada and Chile and reported the relationship health assessment results in our 2024 Annual Report. We plan to report every three years on the health of our relationships with Indigenous peoples, with the next report scheduled for FY2027. The Chair and CEO met with the First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance (FNHPA) in FY2025 to discuss key cultural heritage and Indigenous engagement focus areas and initiatives for BHP and FNHPA. During FY2025, we conducted community perception research across our operated assets to gauge community sentiment in the local communities, including Indigenous peoples, where we operate. The results of the research are included in the Community section at OFR 9.11. Customers We regularly meet with customers through direct engagements and via business and industry forums. We engage with customers to discuss the products they need to meet their specific requirements and help accelerate their sustainability goals and commitments. In June 2025, the Board participated in customer site visits. The site visits provided opportunities for the Board to discuss our business with customers. Presentations and briefings Presentation materials for briefings and speeches related to financial results, strategy and other key topics are available for all stakeholders at bhp.com/investors/presentations-events. In FY2025, this included the Bank of America 2025 Metals Mining and Steel Conference, BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference and Chilean copper site tour. Events Various events are hosted throughout the year, such as retail shareholder events in Australia and the UK, the AGM, one?on?one meetings and receptions hosted by the Board and Chair hosted to provide opportunities for the Board to engage with a range of partners and stakeholders, including government officials, community members, Traditional Owners and other Indigenous partners and non?government organisations. Stakeholder engagement The Board considers effective stakeholder engagement a key element of its governance and oversight role. Our strategy, 2030 goals, purpose and Risk Appetite Statements reflect the significance of external partners and stakeholders in decision-making. There are multiple ways the views of partners and stakeholders, beyond shareholders, are brought to the Board and its Committees. Examples of reports that are provided to the Board include Employee Perception Survey findings, gender pay gap reports and updates from the CEO and Chief People Officer. In addition, the Risk and Audit Committee and Sustainability Committee receive reports on engagement with regulators. The Risk and Audit Committee receives reports on material litigation and disputes with third parties and misconduct concerns raised through confidential reporting platforms. The Sustainability Committee receives updates on Community Perception Survey findings. 7.2 Market disclosure BHP is committed to timely and balanced disclosure of market sensitive information. BHP's Market Disclosure and Communications Policy sets out the processes designed to ensure compliance with BHP's relevant disclosure obligations and outlines the way in which information is communicated to shareholders, the investment community and the market. It outlines how we identify and distribute information to shareholders and market participants and sets out the role of the Disclosure Committee in managing compliance with market disclosure obligations. The Market Disclosure and Communications Policy was updated in FY2025 with effect from 1 October 2024. The Board receives copies of material market announcements promptly after they have been made. Where BHP gives a new and substantive investor or analyst presentation, we release a copy of the presentation materials to the market ahead of the presentation. The Market Disclosure and Communications Policy is available at bhp.com/governance In addition, we have disclosure controls in place for periodic disclosures, including our Operational Review, results announcements, debt investor documents (such as the prospectus for the Euro or Australian Medium?Term Notes) and Annual Report documents, which must comply with relevant regulatory requirements. More information about these verification processes can be found in the Disclosure Controls for Periodic Disclosure document available at bhp.com/governance 8. Culture and conduct Code of Conduct We are committed to the highest level of governance and strive to foster a culture that values and rewards exemplary ethical standards, personal and corporate integrity and respect for others. The Board, together with management, plays a critical role in setting and reinforcing the culture of the Group. Our Code of Conduct is approved by the Board and is based on Our Values: Do what's right, Seek better ways and Make a difference. It applies to all our Directors, senior executives and employees. During FY2025, we reviewed and simplified Our Code of Conduct to make sure it remains relevant to the external environment and our business context. The Board approved Our Code of Conduct in December 2024 and it became effective in March 2025. Our Code of Conduct includes our policies on speaking up and anti-bribery and corruption, sets out standards of behaviour for our people and is an important statement of the culture at BHP. For more information on our policies on speaking up and our commitment against corruption refer to OFR 9.7 Our Code of Conduct is available at bhp.com/about/operating-ethically/our-code/ Corporate Governance Statement continued 98 BHP Annual Report 2025

![LOGO](g35528dsp102.jpg)

BHP's channels to raise misconduct concerns We have mechanisms in place for anyone to raise a query about Our Code of Conduct or make a report if they feel Our Code of Conduct has been breached. BHP's reporting channels to raise misconduct concerns comprise an online portal and 24-hour multilingual call service. These channels are confidential and accessible to all employees, contractors and external partners and stakeholders, including members of the public, to raise concerns about misconduct that may be unethical, illegal or inconsistent with Our Code of Conduct. All misconduct concerns raised through our reporting channels are reviewed and categorised by the Ethics and Investigations team. Once categorised, reports are assigned in accordance with internal policy and processes to an investigator, line leader or appropriate team for resolution. All significant Our Code of Conduct matters and key trends from investigations are reported to the Risk and Audit Committee. These are then reported to the Board as part of its report-out process. For more information on ethics and business conduct refer to OFR 9.7 More information on ethics and business conduct is available at bhp.com/ethics 9. Risk management and assurance 9.1 Risk management governance structure Risk governance The Risk and Audit Committee (RAC) oversees and assists the Board in risk management and reviewing the emerging and principal risks facing the Group, including financial and non-financial risks that could threaten the Group's business model, future performance, solvency, liquidity or reputation. This includes business risk, financial reporting risk, insurance risk, tax risk, technology security and cyber risk, climate risk and ethical compliance programs. The Board requires the CEO to implement a system of control for identifying and managing risk. The Risk team is accountable for this system, known as BHP's Risk Framework, and also supports, challenges and verifies risk management activities to give assurance to management and the Board. The Directors, with support from the RAC, monitor and, at least annually, review the effectiveness of the Group's systems of risk management and internal control. In undertaking its review, the RAC makes a recommendation to the Board on whether the systems of risk management and internal control continue to be sound and whether the Group is operating with due regard to the risk appetite set by the Board. For more information about BHP's risks, including environmental and social risks, refer to OFR 7 and OFR 11. Internal audit The Internal Audit team provides assurance to the Board, CEO and ELT on whether risk management, internal control and governance processes are adequate and functioning. The Internal Audit team is independent of the External Auditor. The RAC evaluates and, if thought fit, approves the Terms of Reference of the Internal Audit team, annual internal audit plan and the annual performance objectives for the Internal Audit team and monitors the effectiveness of the internal audit activities. The RAC approves the appointment and dismissal of the Chief Audit Officer (which is currently the Chief Risk and Audit Officer) and assesses their performance, independence and objectivity. During FY2025, the Chief Risk and Audit Officer reported directly to the RAC and functional oversight of the Internal Audit team was provided by the Chief Financial Officer. Effectiveness of systems of internal control and risk management In delegating authority to the CEO, the Board has established CEO limits, outlined in the Board Governance Document. These limits require the CEO to ensure there is a system of control in place for identifying and managing risk in BHP. Through the RAC, the Directors regularly review these systems for their effectiveness. These reviews include assessing whether processes continue to meet evolving external governance requirements. The RAC oversees and reviews the internal controls and risk management systems (including procedures, processes and systems for, among other things, financial controls, financial reporting, reporting of reserves and resources, closure and rehabilitation, legal and ethical compliance, preventing fraud and serious breaches of business conduct, speak-up procedures, information technology security and cyber risk). Any material breaches of Our Code of Conduct, including breaches of our anti-bribery and corruption requirements and any material incidents reported under our speak-up procedures are reported quarterly to the RAC by the Chief Ethics, Compliance and Human Rights Officer. These reports are then communicated to the Board through the report-out process. During FY2025, management presented an assessment of the material risks facing BHP and the effectiveness of the Group's systems of risk management. The reviews were overseen by the RAC, with findings and recommendations reported to the Board. In addition to considering key risks facing BHP, the Board assessed the effectiveness of internal controls over key risks identified through the work of the Board Committees. Having carried out a review during FY2025, the Board is satisfied with the effectiveness of BHP's risk management and internal control systems. Environmental and social risks BHP's risk factors (including material exposure to environmental and social risks) and how we manage these risks are described in OFR 7 and OFR 11. 9.2 External audit and financial reporting Integrity of Financial Statements The RAC assists the Board in assuring the integrity of the Financial Statements. The RAC evaluates and makes recommendations to the Board about the appropriateness of accounting policies and practices, areas of judgement, compliance with accounting standards, stock exchange and legal requirements and the results of the external audit. CEO and CFO assurance For the FY2025 full year and half year, the CEO and CFO have provided a declaration that in their opinion, BHP's financial records have been properly maintained and those Financial Statements comply with accounting standards and applicable regulatory requirements and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of BHP, and that the opinion was formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control, which is operating effectively. The RAC considered these declarations when recommending the Financial Statements to the Board for approval. External Auditor The RAC manages the relationship with the External Auditor on behalf of the Board. It considers the independence and reappointment of the External Auditor each year, as well as remuneration and other terms of engagement and makes a recommendation to the Board. Evaluation of External Auditor and external audit process The RAC evaluates the objectivity and independence of the External Auditor and the quality and effectiveness of the external audit arrangements, including through: – reviewing the terms of engagement of the External Auditor – considering the external audit plan, in particular to gain assurance that it is tailored to reflect changes in circumstances from the prior year and reviewing the plan during the audit engagement – meeting with the audit partners, particularly the lead audit engagement partners, throughout the year and without management present – discussing with the audit engagement partners the skills and experience of the broader audit team – considering the quality of the External Auditor's performance following the completion of the audit In addition, the RAC reviews the integrity, independence and objectivity of the External Auditor and assesses whether there is any element of the relationship that impairs or appears to impair the External Auditor's judgement or independence. The External Auditor also certifies its independence to the RAC. Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 99

Non-audit services Although the External Auditor provides some non-audit services to the Group, the objectivity and independence of the External Auditor are safeguarded through restrictions on the provision of these services with some services prohibited from being undertaken. Pre-approved services The RAC has adopted a policy titled Provision of Audit and Other Services by the External Auditor covering the RAC's pre-approval policies and procedures to maintain the independence of the External Auditor. The categories of 'pre-approved' services are: – Audit services – work that constitutes the agreed scope of the statutory audit and includes the statutory audits of BHP and its entities (including interim reviews). The RAC monitors the audit services engagements and if necessary, approves any changes in terms and conditions resulting from changes in audit scope, Group structure or other relevant events. – Audit-related and other assurance services – work that is outside the scope of the statutory audit but is consistent with the role of the external statutory auditor. This category includes work that is reasonably related to the performance of an audit or review and is a logical extension of the audit or review scope, is of an assurance or compliance nature and is work that the external auditors must or are best placed to undertake and is permissible under the relevant applicable standard. – Tax services – identification of public subsidies and tax incentives and support regarding tax inspections by tax authorities, but only when support from the external auditor or audit firm is required by law. Activities outside the scope of the categories above are not 'pre-approved' and must be approved by the RAC prior to engagement, regardless of the dollar value involved. In addition, any engagement for other services with a value over US$250,000, even if listed as a 'pre-approved' service, requires the approval of the RAC. All engagements for non-audit services, whether 'pre-approved' or not and regardless of the dollar value involved, are reported quarterly to the RAC. While not prohibited by BHP's policy, any proposed engagement of the External Auditor relating to internal control requires specific prior approval from the RAC. In addition, while the categories of 'pre-approved' services include a list of certain pre-approved services, the use of the External Auditor to perform these services will always be subject to our overriding governance practices as articulated in the policy. In addition, the RAC did not approve any services during the year ended 30 June 2025 pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of SEC Regulation S-X (provision of services other than audit). Fees paid to BHP's External Auditor during FY2025 for audit and other services were US$14.753 million, of which 74 per cent comprised audit fees (including in relation to Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) matters), 12 per cent for audit-related fees and 14 per cent for all other fees. No fees were paid in relation to tax services. For information on the fees paid refer to Financial Statements note 34 'Auditor's remuneration'. Our Provision of audit and other services by the external auditor policy is available at bhp.com/governance Management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a–15(f) and Rule 15d–15(f) under the Exchange Act). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and, even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of BHP's internal control over financial reporting was evaluated based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Controls – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of the Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as at 30 June 2025. There were no material weaknesses in BHP's internal controls over financial reporting identified by management as at 30 June 2025. BHP has engaged independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young, to issue an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for inclusion in the Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the SEC. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during FY2025 that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. During FY2025, the RAC reviewed our compliance with the obligations imposed by SOX, including evaluating and documenting internal controls as required by section 404 of SOX. Management's assessment of disclosure controls and procedures Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as at 30 June 2025. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the material financial and non-financial information required to be disclosed by BHP, including in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarised and reported on a timely basis. This information is accumulated and communicated to BHP's management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, management (including the CEO and CFO) concluded that as at 30 June 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing that reasonable assurance. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In the design and evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, management was required to apply its judgement in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. 10. US requirements BHP Group Limited is a registrant with the SEC in the United States. It is classified as a foreign private issuer and has American Depositary Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). We have reviewed the governance requirements applicable to foreign private issuers under SOX, including the rules promulgated by the SEC and the rules of the NYSE, and are satisfied that we comply with those requirements. Under NYSE rules, foreign private issuers such as BHP are required to disclose any significant ways our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by US companies under the NYSE corporate governance standards. After a comparison of our corporate governance practices with the requirements of Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual followed by US companies, two significant differences were identified: Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act requires NYSE-listed companies to ensure their audit committees are directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the External Auditor unless the company's governing law or documents or other home country legal requirements require or permit shareholders to ultimately vote on or approve these matters. Under the terms of our Constitution, our shareholders are ultimately responsible for the appointment and retention of the External Auditor and are required to vote on the appointment of the External Auditor from time to time (as required under Australian law). The RAC remains directly responsible for the compensation and oversight of the work of the External Auditor. Under Section 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with certain exemptions. Under Australian law, BHP Group Limited is not required to provide for shareholder votes on all equity-compensation plans or revisions thereto. Shareholder approval is required for issues of shares to Directors and accordingly is sought only for certain incentive awards to the CEO. The Remuneration Report voted on by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting describes Board and executive remuneration. All incentive programs offered to the Board and/or Executives are intended to comply with our remuneration framework.

The information presented by the Directors in this Directors' Report relates to BHP Group Limited and its subsidiaries. The Operating and Financial Review (OFR), the Remuneration Report and the 'Lead Auditor's Independence Declaration' are incorporated by reference into and form part of this Directors' Report. 1. Review of operations, principal activities and state of affairs A review of the operations of BHP during FY2025, the results of those operations during FY2025, the expected results of those operations in future financial years and information on our financial position are set out in the OFR 1–7, 9 and 11. Information on the likely developments in BHP's operations in future years and the expected results of those operations also appears in that section. We have excluded certain information from the OFR, to the extent permitted by Australian law, on the basis that such information relates to impending developments or matters in the course of negotiation and disclosure would be seriously prejudicial to the interests of BHP. This is because such disclosure could be misleading due to the fact it is premature or preliminary in nature, relates to commercially sensitive contracts, would undermine confidentiality between BHP and our suppliers and clients, or would otherwise unreasonably damage BHP. The categories of information omitted include forward-looking estimates and projections prepared for internal management purposes, information regarding BHP's assets and projects that is developing and susceptible to change, and information relating to commercial contracts and pricing modules. Our principal activities, including significant changes in the nature of BHP's principal activities during FY2025 are outlined in OFR 1–4. There were no significant changes in BHP's state of affairs that occurred during FY2025 and no significant post balance date events other than as disclosed in the OFR and Financial Statements note 33 'Subsequent events'. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of FY2025 that has significantly affected or is expected to significantly affect the operations, the results of operations or state of affairs of BHP in future years. 2.

Group Company Secretary Stefanie Wilkinson is the Group Company Secretary. For details of her qualifications and experience refer to Corporate Governance Statement 4.1. Stefanie Wilkinson has experience in a company secretariat role or other relevant fields arising from time spent advising other large-listed companies or other relevant entities. 6. Indemnities and insurance Rule 146 of the BHP Group Limited Constitution requires the company to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Officer of BHP Group Limited against liability incurred in or arising out of the conduct of the business of BHP or the discharge of the duties of the Officer. The Directors named in 4.1 of the Corporate Governance Statement, and the Company Secretary and other Officers of BHP Group Limited have the benefit of this requirement, as do individuals who formerly held one of those positions. In accordance with this requirement, BHP Group Limited has entered into Deeds of Indemnity, Access and Insurance (Deeds of Indemnity) with its Directors. Under BHP's Deed Poll for Indemnification, BHP Group Limited and BHP Group (UK) Ltd (formerly BHP Group Plc) must, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify current and former employees of the Group against liability to third parties incurred in or arising out of the conduct of the business of the Group or the discharge of the duties of these employees, including where an employee performs a role at another entity at the request of the Group. The indemnity is subject to certain limitations and does not apply where the liability has arisen in circumstances involving recklessness, wilful misconduct or lack of good faith by the employee seeking indemnification. In addition, as part of the arrangements to effect the demerger of South32, we agreed to indemnify certain former Officers of BHP who transitioned to South32 from certain claims and liabilities incurred in their capacity as Directors or Officers of South32. The terms of engagement for certain services include that we must compensate and reimburse EY for and protect EY against any loss, damage, expense or liability incurred by EY in respect of third-party claims arising from a breach by BHP of any obligation under the engagement terms. We have insured against amounts that we may be liable to pay to Directors, Company Secretaries or certain employees (including former Officers) pursuant to Rule 146 of the Constitution of BHP Group Limited or that we otherwise agree to pay by way of indemnity. The insurance policy also insures Directors, Company Secretaries and some employees (including former Officers) against certain liabilities (including legal costs) they may incur in carrying out their duties. For this Directors' and Officers' insurance, we paid premiums of US$12,447,150 excluding taxes during FY2025. No indemnity in favour of a current or former Officer of BHP Group Limited or in favour of the External Auditor was called on during FY2025. 102 BHP Annual Report 2025

7. Dividends A final dividend of 60 US cents per share will be paid on 25 September 2025, resulting in total cash dividends determined in respect of FY2025 of 110 US cents per share. For information on the dividends paid refer to Financial Statements note 19 'Dividends' 8. Auditors A copy of the declaration given by our External Auditor to the Directors in relation to the auditors' compliance with the independence requirements of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 and the Professional Code of Conduct for External Auditors is set out in Financial Statements 4. No current Officer of BHP has held the role of director or partner of the Group's current External Auditor. 9. Non-audit services For information on the non-audit services undertaken by BHP's External Auditor, including the amounts paid for non-audit services, refer to Financial Statements note 34 'Auditor's remuneration'. All non-audit services were approved in accordance with the process set out in the Policy on Provision of Audit and Other Services by the External Auditor. No non-audit services were carried out that were specifically excluded by the Policy on Provision of Audit and Other Services by the External Auditor. Based on advice provided by the Risk and Audit Committee, the Directors have formed the view that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors, and that the nature of non-audit services means that auditor independence was not compromised. The reason for this view is that the objectivity and independence of the External Auditor are safeguarded through restrictions on the provision of these services with some services prohibited from being undertaken. For more information about our policy in relation to the provision of non-audit services by the external auditor refer to 'External audit and financial reporting' in our Corporate Governance Statement 9.2 10. Exploration, research and development Companies within the Group carry out exploration and research and development necessary to support their activities. For more information refer to OFR 6 'Our assets', OFR 12 'Performance by commodity' and Additional information 6 'Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' 11. ASIC Instrument 2016/191 BHP Group Limited is an entity to which the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Corporations (Rounding in Financial/ Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191 applies. Amounts in this Directors' Report and the Financial Statements, except estimates of future expenditure or where otherwise indicated, have been rounded to the nearest million dollars in accordance with ASIC Instrument 2016/191. 12. Proceedings on behalf of BHP Group Limited No proceedings have been brought on behalf of BHP Group Limited, nor has any application been made, under section 237 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001. 13. Performance in relation to environmental regulation BHP seeks to be compliant with all applicable environmental laws and regulations relevant to its operations. We monitor compliance on a regular basis, including through external and internal means, to minimise the risk of non-compliance. For more information on BHP's performance in relation to health, safety and the environment refer to OFR 9.6, 8, 9.9 For the purposes of section 299(1)(f) of the Australian Corporations Act 2001, in FY2025 BHP was levied seven fines in relation to environmental laws and regulations at our operated assets, the total amount payable being US$8,065,962. 14. Additional information BHP Group Limited has a branch registered in the United Kingdom. The Group, through various subsidiaries, has also established branches in a number of other countries.

Letter from the People and Remuneration Committee Chair Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to provide BHP's Remuneration Report for FY2025. A strong year of safety, operational and financial performance We delivered a strong year of safety, operational and financial performance in FY2025. Nothing matters more than the safety of our people. I am pleased to report that our key safety measures improved in FY2025, underpinned by strong safety fundamentals. It was also a strong year of operational performance at BHP which generated significant cash flow. We have determined dividends totalling US$1.10 a share for the year. This represents a total distribution to shareholders of US$5.6 billion and more than US$50 billion in cash dividends to our shareholders over the past five years. Our remuneration framework continues to serve us well The People and Remuneration Committee (Committee) continues to oversee the Group's people and culture strategy and its alignment with BHP's Purpose, Values and performance. Our remuneration framework is designed to support the successful delivery of our strategy, drive the right behaviours for a thriving and performance?oriented culture and incentivise long?term value creation. We are a global company that seeks to be competitive so that we can attract and retain the best talent. BHP's executive remuneration framework provides a mix of fixed and variable remuneration across different time horizons to balance the achievement of near-term strategic deliverables with longer?term objectives. Our remuneration framework seeks to align remuneration outcomes with shareholder value creation and performance on financial, Group and personal and safety and sustainability measures, including climate change. There are three components of our executive remuneration framework at BHP: fixed remuneration, the Cash and Deferred Plan (CDP) and the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Our higher weighting on CDP (relative to our LTIP) results in key metrics, such as fatalities and climate change in the CDP, having a proportionally significant impact on executive remuneration outcomes. Our framework has received strong support from our shareholders since it was introduced. In FY2025, I had the pleasure of meeting with employees covering our operations and offices, and shareholders and investors covering Australia, UK, US and Asia, representing a significant proportion of our issued share capital. These discussions reinforced that the focus of our remuneration framework on driving financial, safety and sustainability performance remains the right focus areas for BHP. FY2025 CDP outcomes The Committee assessed the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and other Executive key management personnel's (KMP) performance against the CDP scorecard elements. For the CEO, this resulted in a FY2025 CDP outcome of 110 per cent against a target of 100 per cent. CDP outcomes are assessed annually against a balanced scorecard comprising safety and sustainability (S&S), financial and Group and personal performance measures (comprising executive-led enterprise?wide strategic deliverables). The FY2025 outcome for S&S measures for the CEO was 34 per cent out of a target of 25 per cent. These metrics include a 10 per cent measure for significant health, safety, environment and community events and the outcome reflects a year where we had no fatalities and strong progress on our Fatality Elimination Program. We have had a 10 per cent climate change measure in place since FY2020. This is a measure of climate change performance over the longer term and we remain on track to meet our operational greenhouse gas emissions target (Scopes 1 and 2) by FY2030. Indigenous partnerships are the third key aspect of our S&S measures and this year saw record Indigenous procurement spend for the second year in a row. The FY2025 outcome for financial measures for the CEO was 53 per cent out of a target of 50 per cent. Underlying Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is the financial measure used that assesses our company's profitability and effective use of capital. Pleasingly, in FY2025, we delivered record copper production, the highest production levels in 17 years at Escondida, record iron ore production for the third consecutive year and a lift in steelmaking coal production, despite significant adverse weather events affecting production. The FY2025 outcome for Group and personal measures for the CEO was 23 per cent out of a target of 25 per cent. These measures included people, performance and portfolio projects and initiatives. We pride ourselves on capital delivery. Disappointingly, in July 2025 we provided an update on the cost and schedule estimates for Jansen Stage 1. We estimate capital expenditure to be in the range of US$7.0 billion to US$7.4 billion (including contingencies), versus our original estimate of US$5.7 billion, and first production to revert to the original schedule of mid-CY2027. The CDP scorecard performance assessment for the CEO, together with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and President Americas, included consideration of these matters when determining their CDP outcomes. It has also been reflected in the outcomes for other Executive Leadership Team (ELT) members, senior executives and employees with accountability for Jansen. For other Executive KMP, FY2025 CDP outcomes resulted in, on average, above target outcomes. 2020 LTIP award The LTIP seeks to reward sustained, long?term performance and growth aligned with BHP's values and shareholder value creation. The performance period for the 2020 LTIP award concluded on 30 June 2025. The vesting outcome was 33 per cent based on total shareholder return performance of 85 per cent for BHP over the five?year period. Holistic review of performance over a five-year period An important aspect of the CDP and LTIP is that before vesting of the five-year CDP and LTIP awards each year the Committee undertakes a holistic review of performance. This extra step reflects a long-term outlook and focus on driving shareholder value. In August 2025, when reviewing the vesting of the FY2020 CDP five-year award and 2020 LTIP award, the Committee considered BHP's performance on safety, sustainability (including climate change), financial, corporate governance and conduct over the five-year performance period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2025. As a Committee we are satisfied the outcomes are fair and reflect the shareholder experience during the period. Looking ahead Talent markets continue to be highly competitive. It is critical we reward our people appropriately to enable BHP to deliver on our strategy. When we benchmark our Executive KMP's remuneration, we compare against roles in mining and resource companies and have regard for globally competitive companies of similar complexity, reach and scale. These are the companies that BHP is competing with for talent. For FY2026, the Board has determined the CEO's base salary will increase by four per cent, effective 1 September 2025. In conducting the annual review of the CEO's base salary and total target remuneration, to ensure his package remains appropriate and market competitive, we considered the CEO's ongoing performance, external benchmark data, and market demand for senior executive talent. The increase is aligned to the average FY2025 salary increase applied for other BHP employees. During FY2025, the Committee reviewed other Executive KMP remuneration and, to reflect their ongoing performance and development in their roles since their appointment in early 2024, determined an increase of eight per cent for the CFO and 15 per cent for the President Americas, effective 1 January 2025. For FY2026, the Committee determined an increase of four per cent for the President Australia, effective 1 September 2025. For FY2026 there are no changes to the Group Chair and Non-executive Director fees. Our people We strive to offer an engaging and supportive workplace, which empowers our people to find safer and more productive ways of working. This year we achieved our long-term female representation aspirational goal and exceeded our Indigenous workforce participation targets in Australia, Canada and Chile. The efforts that have underpinned this achievement have made BHP a safer, more productive, and better performing business. The Committee monitored culture progress through visits to BHP sites and offices and discussions with management. We continue to support a performance management framework that places a strong emphasis on how we deliver results alongside what is achieved. This is critical to delivering the best outcomes for BHP shareholders. Again, thank you to the shareholders, advisers and employees I met with during the year. I took away a lot from these discussions and look forward to continuing this engagement. As always, I welcome shareholder feedback and comments on our FY2025 Remuneration Report.

Overview of BHP's remuneration framework BHP provides Executive KMP with a mix of fixed and variable remuneration. There are three components of our Executive KMP remuneration framework: (1) fixed remuneration, (2) Cash and Deferred Plan, and (3) Long Term Incentive Plan. BHP structures the delivery of remuneration across different time periods to balance the achievement of near-term strategic objectives with longer-term drivers, such as continued service, alignment to shareholder value creation and financial, safety and sustainability (including climate change) performance. The Board and Committee apply overarching discretion to determine fair and commensurate remuneration that reflects the objectives of the remuneration framework and takes into account shareholder expectations and market conditions. Fixed remuneration Cash and Deferred Plan (CDP) Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) What is it? This is the fixed portion of remuneration that is paid regularly throughout the year. The CDP is an annual cash and equity-based incentive scheme, providing remuneration over the short, medium and longer term. The LTIP is a long-term incentive scheme with awards vesting in five years, subject to conditions. How is it delivered? Base salary Pension contributions (10% base salary) Other benefits (notional 10% base salary) The CDP award is delivered in three equal components: – CDP annual cash – CDP Deferred Rights (2 Year) – CDP Deferred Rights (5 Year) The LTIP is delivered in Performance Rights, subject to meeting vesting conditions over a five-year period. What does it reward and how does it link with strategy? Competitive and appropriate fixed remuneration is provided to attract, motivate and retain talented and experienced global executives with the right capability to deliver against BHP's strategic objectives. Rewards the annual achievement of strategic goals and outperformance, and encourages retention. It also aligns behaviours towards Our Values and to shareholder outcomes. Rewards sustained, long-term performance and growth aligned with Our Values and creation of shareholder value. How does it link to performance? Fixed remuneration reflects the global scope and complexity of the role. It accounts for the location, skills, performance, qualifications and experience of the individual. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure it remains appropriate and competitive with benchmark data from BHP's independent remuneration advisers as required. Fixed remuneration increases are normally aligned to performance, significant development, changes in accountabilities and/or external market movements. They normally also consider movements applied to the wider BHP workforce. Our approach to setting and benchmarking fixed remuneration, along with any changes for FY2026, is set out below. CDP award outcomes for each Executive KMP are determined by the annual assessment of performance against a balanced scorecard of metrics linked to the execution of business strategy weighted as follows: – 25% Safety and sustainability (including climate change) – 50% Financial – 25% Group and personal measures One third of the CDP award is paid in cash and is structured to reward current year performance in the short term. The remaining two thirds of the CDP are deferred into two equity awards of equal value to encourage retention and sustained medium and longer?term performance over two and five years. The vesting of the CDP equity awards are subject to a service condition and the CDP Deferred Rights (5 Year) is also underpinned by a holistic review of performance at the end of the vesting period, details of which are outlined on page 108. Under the LTIP, BHP's performance is assessed against the relative TSR of two comparator groups over the five-year period to provide an objective measure of performance. TSR provides a valuable comparative, external market performance benchmark. It also provides a direct link between Executive KMP reward and shareholder returns. Vesting of LTIP Performance Rights requires BHP's TSR performance to meet specific hurdles as outlined on page 108. LTIP Performance Rights are also subject to a five-year service condition and are underpinned by a holistic review of performance at the end of the vesting period, details of which are outlined on page 108. Paying competitively BHP is a global company with employees around the world, including in Australia, Canada, Chile and the United States. BHP has a diverse and mobile workforce and we recognise the importance of offering competitive and equitable remuneration to attract, motivate and retain the talent required to deliver on our strategy. To ensure our reward practices remain fit for purpose in a dynamic and highly competitive global talent market, we apply a disciplined and data-driven approach. This includes benchmarking our Executive KMP remuneration against comparable positions in companies of similar scale, complexity and geographic reach with a focus on companies that compete with BHP for leadership talent. We consider factors such as role responsibilities, location, skills, qualifications and experience. We also conduct regular performance reviews and apply rigorous governance to ensure accountability and alignment with shareholder and stakeholder expectations. During FY2025, the Committee reviewed other Executive KMP remuneration and to reflect their ongoing performance and development in their roles since their appointment in early 2024, determined an increase of eight per cent for the CFO and 15 per cent for the President Americas effective 1 January 2025. For FY2026, the Committee determined an increase of four per cent for the President Australia, effective 1 September 2025.

Total target in aggregate is 240% of base salary, maximum opportunity is 360%, and minimum potential outcome is zero. – The number of FY2025 CDP Deferred Rights for each of the two tranches are determined by dividing the overall CDP cash component outcome by the average share price and US$/ A$ exchange rate over the 12 months up to and including 30 June 2025. – For the CEO the maximum is 200% of base salary. – For other Executive KMP the maximum is 175% of base salary. – The minimum potential outcome is zero. – The number of 2025 LTIP Performance Rights granted to an Executive KMP is determined by dividing the LTIP value by the average share price and US$/A$ exchange rate over the 12 months up to and including 30 June 2025. Performance conditions and assessment Towards the end of the annual performance period, a formal assessment of the Executive KMP's CDP scorecard is conducted to determine the CDP award outcome. The Board approves the CEO's CDP award outcome and the Committee approves CDP award outcomes for the other Executive KMP. The Sustainability Committee and the Risk and Audit Committee assess and provide guidance on the outcomes of the scorecard measures that are within their respective areas of responsibility. The Committee and the Board retain discretion to adjust CDP award outcomes where they do not consider them to reflect the performance of the Group or where the manner in which they were achieved was not aligned with the wider shareholder experience. If performance is below the threshold level for any scorecard measure, 0% will be provided in respect of that portion of the CDP scorecard. Vesting of 2025 LTIP Performance Rights will depend on BHP's TSR compared to the following benchmarks: – 67% for relative TSR performance compared to the MSCI World Metals and Mining Index constituents (Sector TSR) – 33% for relative TSR performance compared to the MSCI World Index constituents (World TSR). Details of the Sector TSR and World TSR indices can be found here msci.com/our-solutions/indexes The number of LTIP Performance Rights that vest, if any, will be based on BHP's TSR performance, compared to the Sector TSR and World TSR over the performance period, as set out in the following vesting schedule: BHP's TSR performance % of the LTIP award that will vest Below the 50th percentile 0% Equal to the 50th percentile 25% Between the 50th percentile and the weighted 80th percentile Sliding scale between 25% and 100% Equal to or exceeds the 80th percentile (outperformance) 100% An averaging period of six months is used in the TSR calculations. If the TSR performance condition is not met, there is no retesting and awards will lapse. Vesting – Vesting of CDP Deferred Rights is subject to the Executive KMP's continued employment with BHP until the vesting date. – CDP Deferred Rights (5 Year) are subject to a holistic review of performance at the end of the five-year vesting period (outlined below). – Executive KMP do not have an entitlement to receive dividends prior to vesting. Dividend Equivalent Payments (DEPs) are made on vesting of CDP Deferred Rights. – The Committee retains discretion to settle CDP Deferred Rights in cash. – Vesting of LTIP Performance Rights is subject to the Executive KMP's continued employment with BHP until the vesting date and TSR performance conditions. – LTIP Performance Rights are subject to a holistic review of performance at the end of the five-year vesting period (outlined below). – Executive KMP do not have an entitlement to receive dividends prior to vesting. DEPs are made on vesting of LTIP Performance Rights. – The Committee retains discretion to settle LTIP Performance Rights in cash. Holistic review of performance as an underpin to vesting Vesting of both CDP Deferred Rights (5 Year) and LTIP Performance Rights are subject to a holistic review of performance at the end of the five-year vesting periods, including a review of: – safety and sustainability performance (for example, no material incidents, achievements against operational decarbonisation plans, reduction in GHG emissions against BHP targets, etc) – financial performance (including profitability, cash flow, balance sheet health, returns to shareholders, etc) – broader factors such as corporate governance and the Executive KMP's conduct Remuneration Report continued Key terms of our variable remuneration framework and equity plans Our variable remuneration framework is designed to support BHP's strategy and reward our people for successful strategy execution. The majority of remuneration delivered through equity is 'at risk', reflecting our commitment to driving long-term growth, performance and value for shareholders. The key terms of the FY2025 CDP and the 2025 LTIP are outlined below. 108 BHP Annual Report 2025

CDP LTIP Cessation of employment Upon the cessation of Executive KMP employment, unless the Board determines otherwise, the following treatment applies: – on resignation or termination for cause, all unvested CDP cash and Deferred Rights and LTIP Performance Rights lapse – where employment ends due to death, serious injury, disability, CDP cash awards are pro-rated based on performance for that year, and all unvested CDP Deferred Rights and LTIP Performance Rights vest – where employment ends for any other reason (i.e. a 'good leaver'), current year CDP cash awards and Deferred Rights (2 years) awards are pro-rated based on performance for that year (and paid wholly in cash), all unvested CDP Deferred Rights (2 Year) will generally remain on foot and subject to the original terms of the offer, and a pro-rated portion of unvested CDP Deferred Rights (5 Year) and LTIP Performance Rights will generally remain on foot and subject to the original terms of the offer, and the remainder will lapse Malus and clawback In order to prevent an executive obtaining an inappropriate benefit (including where the executive acts fraudulently or dishonestly, is in material breach of their obligations to BHP, or where vesting is not justified or supportable in the circumstances), the Committee may determine some or all awards (including cash, CDP Deferred Rights and LTIP Performance Rights) are lapsed, forfeited or clawed back. The Committee may also suspend or delay vesting of CDP Deferred Rights and LTIP Performance Rights if an investigation is underway, until the outcome of any investigation is known. BHP also has a Malus and Clawback Policy that applies to all equity awards. Employment terms The remuneration and employment terms of Executive KMP are formalised in employment contracts that have no fixed term. For the CEO, 12 months' notice is required by either BHP or the CEO should they wish to terminate employment. For other Executive KMP, BHP or the relevant Executive KMP is required to provide six months' notice should they wish to terminate employment. Executive KMP can be terminated for cause without notice. BHP may require an executive to work through the notice period or make a payment in lieu of notice (including base salary plus pension contributions). Share ownership guidelines and MSR Executive KMP are encouraged to hold shares in BHP over the long-term and a minimum shareholding is required through the MSR. BHP's share ownership guidelines and the MSR help to align the interests of the KMP and shareholders. The CEO is required to achieve a MSR of five times annual pre-tax base salary. Other Executive KMP are required to achieve a MSR of three times annual pre?tax base salary. A two-year post-retirement shareholding requirement for the CEO applies from the date of retirement, which will be the lower of the CEO's MSR or the CEO's actual shareholding at the date of retirement. No Executive KMP sold or purchased shares during FY2025, other than sales to satisfy tax obligations in connection with an employee equity award. At the end of FY2025, the Executive KMP met their MSR, except for Brandon Craig, as he was appointed to the ELT and Executive KMP on 1 March 2024. Prohibition on hedging of BHP shares and equity instruments KMP are prohibited from hedging unvested BHP securities or securities held under the MSR. They are also prohibited from using unvested BHP securities as collateral. Vested, unrestricted securities that are not held under the MSR, may be subject to hedging arrangements or used as collateral, provided prior consent is obtained from BHP Remuneration mix The overall potential total remuneration of the CEO and other Executive KMP is shown in the diagram below. The maximum opportunity represented below is the most that could potentially be paid for each remuneration component. It does not reflect actual awards granted by the Group. Actual remuneration received by the CEO and other Executive KMP depends on the outcomes of the CDP and LTIP which are driven by the achievement of business and individual performance measures. The target LTIP value is based on the fair value of the awards, which is 50 per cent of the face value of the CEO's award (200 per cent of base salary) and other Executive KMP awards (175 per cent of base salary). The maximum LTIP value is based on the face value of the awards for the CEO and other Executive KMP. The potential impact of future share price movements is not included in the value of CDP or LTIP awards.

Remuneration Report continued Performance measure Weighting for FY2025 Performance outcome CEO percentage outcome Safety and sustainability 25% 34% Financial 50% 53% Group and personal 25% 23% Total 100% 110% Remuneration for Executive KMP FY2025 CDP performance outcomes The Board and the Committee assessed the Executive KMP's CDP outcomes in light of the Group's performance in FY2025 and performance against the measures in each Executive KMP CDP scorecard. The level of performance for each scorecard measure is determined based on a range of: – threshold – the minimum necessary to qualify for any reward outcome – target – where the performance requirements are met – maximum – where the performance requirements are significantly exceeded Summary of CDP outcomes for the CEO (by measure) For the CEO, the Board's and the Committee's assessment against the CDP scorecard measures resulted in a FY2025 CDP outcome of 110 per cent against the target of 100 per cent (or 73 per cent against maximum). In July 2025, we provided an update on the cost and schedule estimates for Jansen Stage 1. We estimate capital expenditure to be in the range of US$7.0 billion to US$7.4 billion, versus our original estimate of US$5.7 billion, and first production to revert to the original schedule of mid-CY2027. Assessments for the CEO included consideration of these updates as part of his Group and personal measures when determining his CDP outcome. FY2025 CDP performance outcomes – CEO measures Safety and sustainability Scorecard targets Performance outcome Elimination of significant harm No significant (actual level 4) health, safety (including fatalities), environment or community events during the year. Completion of FY2025 Fatality Elimination Program deliverables and development of asset-owned vehicle interaction improvement plans. Outcome: Maximum – There were no fatalities or other actual significant HSEC events during FY2025 at our operated assets. – All operated assets completed the deliverables required to achieve a maximum outcome relating to the Fatality Elimination Program and development of asset-owned vehicle interaction improvement plans. Climate change Reported Scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions at our operated assets in FY2025 are at 9.8 ktCO2-e. Deliver FY2025 actions in the approved climate adaptation work program, including progressing our nature-positive plans. Outcome: Between target and maximum – For FY2025, we bettered our operational GHG emissions scorecard target by 1% (excluding our Western Australia Nickel operations which entered temporary suspension in FY2025). Having reviewed actual production levels at certain operated assets compared to budget targets, performance was observed to be on target. – All actions in the approved climate adaptation work program were delivered during FY2025. While none of the Assets completed climate adaptation work program deliverables required to achieve a maximum outcome, all required actions to progress our nature-positive plans were delivered to achieve a maximum outcome. Indigenous partnerships No significant (actual level 4) cultural heritage events during the year. Achieve direct contracting spend with Indigenous, Traditional Owner and First Nations suppliers of US$356 million. Achieve regional Indigenous representation targets by end of FY2025. Outcome: Maximum – No significant cultural heritage incidents occurred during FY2025. – Indigenous, Traditional Owner and First Nations vendor procurement significantly exceeded the targets required to achieve a maximum outcome with US$852 million in Indigenous procurement spend in FY2025. – Our FY2025 overall regional Indigenous representation was at 9.3%, which was above the target of 8.8%. The total S&S measures for FY2025 for the CEO was 34% against the target of 25%. Threshold 0% Target 100% Maximum 150% 110 BHP Annual Report 2025

Financial ROCE Target ROCE of 19.7%, with a threshold of 16.4% and a maximum of 22.8%. ROCE is underlying profit after taxation (excluding after-taxation finance costs and exceptional items) divided by average capital employed. When assessing ROCE, adjustments are made to the outcome to allow for changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange movements and other material items outside the control of management (from the levels assumed when setting the targets). This ensures the assessment appropriately measures outcomes that are within the control and influence of the Group and our executives. Of these adjustments, changes in commodity prices have historically been the most material due to volatility in prices and the impact on Group revenue and ROCE. When setting the target ROCE, the Committee considers the upside opportunities and downside risks inherent in BHP's businesses, and what outcome the Committee believes would be a level of performance that shareholders would view positively. The maximum and threshold are an appropriate range of ROCE outcomes which include an upper limit of stretch outperformance that would represent the maximum CDP award, and a lower limit of underperformance below which no CDP award should be made. The performance range around target is subject to a greater level of downside risk than there is upside opportunity, mainly due to physical and regulatory asset constraints. Accordingly, the range between threshold and target is somewhat greater than that between target and maximum. For maximum, the Committee takes care not to create leveraged incentives that encourage executives to push for short-term performance that goes beyond our risk appetite and current operational capacity. Outcome: Between target and maximum ROCE of 20.6% was reported by BHP for FY2025. Adjusted for the factors outlined below, ROCE is 20.0%, which is above target. The following adjustments were made to ensure the outcomes appropriately reflect the performance of management for the year: – The full elimination of the impacts of movements in commodities prices and exchange rates decreased ROCE by 0.3 percentage points. – Adjustments for other items made to ensure the outcomes reflect the performance of management for the year decreased ROCE by 0.3 percentage points. This was mainly to ensure the basis of the CDP ROCE outcome was the same as the basis upon which the ROCE target for FY2025 was set. Having reviewed the FY2025 exceptional items (as described in Financial Statements note 3 'Exceptional items'), the Committee determined these should not be considered for the purposes of determining the FY2025 ROCE CDP outcome and that no further action was required in respect of exceptional items. The ROCE measure for FY2025 for the CEO was 53% against the target of 50%. Group and personal People Year-on-year reduction in high potential injury frequency. Increase female representation to 40% across the enterprise. Increase BHP Employee Perception Survey engagement score. Progress succession and development activities. Outcome: Between target and maximum – High potential injury frequency year-on-year reduced by 18% in FY2025 to 0.09. – Female representation increased by 4% in FY2025 and finished the year at 41.3%, exceeding the FY2025 target and marking the achievement of BHP's long-term female representation aspirational goal. – Employee Perception Survey engagement score improved in line with target. – Succession and development activities completed in accordance with expectations. Performance Improvement on Operational Excellence Index (OEI) Assessment on Assessment (AoA) scores at operational sites. Asset decarbonisation plans submitted to achieve at least or greater emissions reductions than prior year. Deliver the targeted outcome in the Brazil strategy. Outcome: Target – BHP Operating System (BOS) target achieved, with 90% of operational sites improving on the OEI AoA score. – Asset operational decarbonisation plans progressed, with positive steps taken towards delivering operational emissions reductions. – Significant progress made on the Brazil strategy, including a settlement agreed with the Brazilian Public Authorities and a Liability Sharing Agreement signed with Vale. Portfolio Maximum 15% capital growth across the major projects portfolio. Minerals Americas and Copper South Australia growth projects to increase projected copper equivalent production. Refreshed Nickel strategy agreed. Outcome: Between target and maximum – Capital growth across the major projects portfolio kept to well below the 15% target. – Good progress made on copper growth pathways across Escondida, Spence and Copper South Australia, and through entry into the Vicuña joint venture. – Nickel strategy in place and progressing well. The Group and personal measure for FY2025 for the CEO was 23% against the target of 25%. The assessment for the CEO included consideration of the updates on Jansen Stage 1, as described on the prior page, as part of his Group and personal measures outcome. Summary of outcomes for other Executive KMP The FY2025 CDP target weightings and performance measures for other Executive KMP 'without regional responsibility' are similar to those of the CEO outlined above. For the other Executive KMP 'with regional responsibility', their target weightings and performance measures vary to reflect the focus required on both Group and regional measures. The Group and personal measures for other Executive KMP is reflective of their contribution to the delivery of projects and initiatives within the scope of their role and the overall performance of the Group. The Committee reviewed the performance of other Executive KMP against these FY2025 measures and this assessment resulted in overall FY2025 CDP outcomes, each against the target of 100 per cent, of 110 per cent for the CFO (or 73 per cent against maximum), 118 per cent for the President Americas (or 79 per cent against maximum), and 115 per cent for the President Australia (or 77 per cent against maximum). Cost and schedule estimates for Jansen Stage 1 were updated in July 2025, with capital expenditure estimated to be in the range of US$7.0 billion to US$7.4 billion, versus our original estimate of US$5.7 billion, and first production to revert to the original schedule of mid-CY2027. Assessments for the CFO and President Americas included consideration of these updates as part of their Group and personal measures outcome when determining their CDP outcomes. It has also been reflected in the outcomes for other ELT members, senior executives and employees with accountability for Jansen. The FY2025 CDP weightings and overall average outcomes against the CDP scorecard for other Executive KMP are in the following diagram.

Remuneration Report continued FY2020 LTIP performance outcomes What are the LTIP vesting conditions? The five-year performance period for the 2020 LTIP Performance Rights for relevant Executive KMP ended on 30 June 2025. Vesting is subject to satisfaction of the service condition, the achievement of the relative TSR performance conditions, underpinned by a holistic review of performance at the end of the five-year vesting period and any discretion applied by the Committee. Why is relative TSR used as the performance condition? Relative TSR is an appropriate performance condition for BHP's LTIP as it recognises that BHP rewards executives for shareholder returns over a sustained period if those returns outperform both the broader global market and the mining sector. Relative TSR includes returns to BHP shareholders in the form of share price movements along with dividends paid and reinvested in BHP (including cash and in-specie dividends). BHP only rewards above average performance against the Sector Group TSR, weighted at 67 per cent and World TSR, weighted at 33 per cent. BHP's TSR performance is required to be at the 50th percentile of these comparator groups for 25 per cent of the LTIP to vest. Outstanding performance and Summary of outcomes for other Executive KMP Performance categories Other Executive KMP with region responsibility Other Executive KMP without region responsibility Performance outcome Safety and sustainability Group 12.5% 25% Region 12.5% 0% Financial Group 25% 50% Region 25% 0% Group and personal 25% 25% BHP Minerals Australia Minerals Americas What is the outcome of the holistic review of performance at the end of the five-year vesting period of the FY2020 CDP Deferred Rights and 2020 LTIP Performance Rights? Vesting of both FY2020 CDP Deferred Rights and 2020 LTIP Performance Rights are underpinned by a holistic review of BHP's performance on safety, sustainability (including climate change), financial, corporate governance and conduct at the end of the five?year vesting periods. The rules and terms of the CDP and LTIP awards provide the Committee with an overarching discretion to reduce the number of awards that will vest, notwithstanding that performance conditions have been met. This is applied as a test before final vesting is confirmed and is an important risk management tool to ensure vesting is not simply driven by a formula or the passage of time that may give full vesting may occur when BHP's TSR is at or above the 80th percentile of Sector Group TSR and World TSR. For the 2020 LTIP Performance Rights to vest in full, BHP's TSR over the five?year performance period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2025 must have been at or exceeded the 80th percentile of the Sector Group TSR and the World TSR. What is BHP's relative TSR performance outcome for the 2020 LTIP? BHP's TSR performance was 85 per cent over the 2020 LTIP performance period. This outcome is: – Above the 50th percentile of the Sector Group TSR of 77 per cent, but below the 80th percentile of the Sector Group TSR of 174 per cent, and – Above the 50th percentile of the World TSR of 71 per cent, but below the 80th percentile of the World TSR of 157 per cent. This level of performance results in 33 per cent vesting for the 2020 LTIP Performance Rights. The value of the CEO's vested 2020 LTIP Performance Rights is detailed in FY2025 remuneration received by the CEO. The graph below shows BHP's performance relative to comparator groups. unexpected or unintended remuneration outcomes. The Committee considers its discretion carefully each year ahead of the scheduled vesting of CDP Deferred Rights and LTIP Performance Rights. In respect of the vesting of the FY2020 CDP Deferred Rights and 2020 LTIP Performance Rights, the Committee undertook a holistic review of performance over the five-year period (from FY2021 to FY2025). The Committee noted BHP's continued progress in S&S outcomes (noting, however, the two fatalities in FY2023 and one in FY2024 were taken into account in determining CDP outcomes for those years), strong operational performance with improving production and cost performance, and significant returns to shareholders. In respect of the vesting of FY2020 CDP Deferred Rights and the 2020 LTIP Performance Rights, the Committee did not identify any reason to exercise its downwards discretion.

Five-year share price, dividend and earnings history The following table outlines BHP's historical financial performance. These elements impact the CDP scorecard outcomes and LTIP performance outcomes. The highest and lowest closing share price during FY2025 were A$45.95 and A$34.16, respectively. FY2025 FY2024 FY2023 FY2022 FY2021 Share price at beginning of year (A$) 43.30 45.26 40.05 48.22 35.82 Share price at end of year (A$) 36.75 42.68 44.99 41.25 48.57 Dividends paid (A$) 1.90 2.35 3.92 10.18 1 2.07 Attributable profit (US$ million, as reported) 9,019 7,897 12,921 30,900 11,304 1. The FY2022 dividends paid includes A$5.38 in respect of the in-specie dividend associated with the merger of the Petroleum business with Woodside. FY2025 remuneration received by the CEO The table below is a voluntary non-statutory disclosure of the remuneration received by the CEO during FY2025 and FY2024. This table is unaudited and differs from the audited remuneration calculated in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards (refer to KMP remuneration table and Financial Statements note 26 'Employee share ownership plans'). This table aims to provide greater transparency for shareholders and reflect actual remuneration received. The difference between the disclosure in the table below and the remuneration disclosed in KMP remuneration table relates to the CDP and LTIP awards. The remuneration calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards requires the fair value of the CDP and LTIP awards to be calculated at the time of grant and to be amortised over the relevant vesting periods regardless of the performance outcome. This may not reflect what the executive receives. US$('000) FY2025 FY2024 Mike Henry Base salary 1,881 1,808 Benefits1 54 35 Pension2 188 181 CDP3 4,965 3,113 LTIP4 1,884 3,329 Total 8,972 8,466 1. Benefits are non-pensionable and include net movements in leave balances, private health insurance, car parking, fringe benefits tax and personal tax return preparation in required countries. 2. FY2025 and FY2024 pension contributions were provided based on 10 per cent of base salary. 3. The values shown are CDP award outcomes earned based on performance against the CDP scorecard during FY2025 and FY2024. The FY2025 CDP award will be provided one third in cash in September 2025, one third in CDP Deferred Rights (2 Year) subject to a service condition vesting at the end of FY2027, and one third in CDP Deferred Rights (5 Year) subject to a service condition and a holistic review of performance as an underpin to vesting at the end of FY2030. The FY2024 CDP award was provided on an equivalent basis. 4. The values shown are LTIP outcomes vested during FY2025 and FY2024 in respect of LTIP Performance Rights granted in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Part of the LTIP outcome for FY2024 LTIP relates to a period when the Mike Henry was President Operations Minerals Australia and subject to different remuneration arrangements. The 2020 LTIP Performance Rights value in FY2025 is an estimate calculated on the average share price for the month of July 2025 (which will be updated in subsequent disclosures). The 2019 LTIP Performance Rights value in FY2024 is an updated value from the 2024 Remuneration Report and is calculated on the actual share price on the vesting date. Remuneration for Non-executive Directors Competitive fees and benefits are paid in order to attract and retain appropriately skilled and globally experienced individuals to BHP's Board. Shareholders approved the maximum aggregate fee pool for Non?executive Directors of US$3.8 million per annum. The fee pool was approved by shareholders at the 2008 AGM. Travel allowances and non?monetary benefits are not included in this limit. Non-executive Directors do not have any performance-based at?risk remuneration and do not receive any equity awards as part of their remuneration. Non-executive Director fees The Group Chair is paid a single fee for all responsibilities. All other Non-executive Directors are paid a base fee and relevant Committee membership fees. Committee Chairs and the Senior Independent Director are paid a fee to reflect their extra responsibilities. All fee levels are reviewed annually. Annual reviews consider global benchmarking and advice provided by external advisers, as required. Fee levels reflect the size and complexity of the Group, the economic environment and the financial performance of the Group. Consideration is also given to salary reviews across the rest of the Group. Where the payment of pension contributions is required by law, these contributions are deducted from the Director's overall fee entitlements. Subject to securities dealing constraints, Non-executive Directors have agreed to apply at least 25 per cent of their remuneration (base fees plus relevant Committee membership fees) to the purchase of BHP shares until they achieve an MSR equivalent in value to one year of remuneration. They must maintain at least that level of shareholding throughout their tenure. At the end of FY2025, each Non-executive Director met the MSR. Non-executive Director benefits Non-executive Directors receive a travel allowance as there is a considerable travel burden required of Non-executive Directors to travel to Board meetings and site visits. Travel allowances are paid on a per trip basis. Non-executive Directors are reimbursed for the costs of personal tax return preparation if Australia is not their place of residence (including payment of the tax cost associated with the provision of the benefit). Letters of appointment The Board has entered into a letter of appointment with each Non?executive Director that contains the terms on which the Non-executive Directors will be appointed. Non-executive Directors are also indemnified by the Group. The Board has adopted a policy under which all Non-executive Directors must seek re-election at the AGM each year. As a result of requiring re?election each year, Non?executive Directors do not have a fixed term in their letter of appointment. A Non-executive Director may resign on reasonable notice. No payments are made to Non-executive Directors on loss of office. FY2026 fees and allowances A benchmarking assessment was undertaken during FY2025 and determined that the base annual fees for the Chair and Non-executive Directors will not increase in FY2026. It was also determined that there would be no change to the fees for other Committee roles or other allowances.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued Basis of preparation The Consolidated Financial Statements (Financial Statements) comprise BHP Group Limited (BHP or the Company) together with its controlled entities (Group) for the year ended 30 June 2025. BHP Group Limited, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, is a for-profit company limited by shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. BHP Group Limited also has an international secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the United States. Directors of BHP have included information in the Financial Statements they deem to be material and relevant to the understanding of the Financial Statements. Disclosure may be considered material and relevant if the dollar amount is significant due to its size or nature, or the information is important to understand the: – Group's current year results – impact of significant changes in the Group's business or – aspects of the Group's operations that are important to future performance The Board of Directors resolved to authorise the issue of the financial report on 19 August 2025. Basis of preparation and measurement The Group's Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2025: – are a consolidated general purpose financial report – have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of: – the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act 2001) – Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) (collectively referred to as IFRS) – are prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors: – have made an assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the date of this report – consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Group's Financial Statements – measure items on the basis of historical cost principles, except for the following items: – derivative financial instruments and certain other financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value – non-current assets or disposal groups that are classified as heldfor- sale or held-for-distribution, which are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell – include material accounting policies in the notes to the Financial Statements, specifically where accounting policy choices have been made in relation to the recognition and measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the Financial Statements – apply a presentation currency of US dollars, consistent with the predominant functional currency of the Group's operations. Amounts are rounded to the nearest million dollars, unless otherwise stated, in accordance with ASIC (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191 – present reclassified comparative information where required for consistency with the current year's presentation – adopt all new and amended standards and interpretations under IFRS that are mandatory for application in periods beginning on 1 July 2024. None had a significant impact on the Financial Statements. – have not early adopted any standards and interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective. Refer to note 37 'New and amended accounting standards and interpretations and changes to accounting policies' The accounting policies are consistently applied by all entities included in the Financial Statements. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption over the going concern period, management has stress tested BHP's most recent financial projections to incorporate a range of potential future outcomes by considering BHP's principal risks. The Group's financial forecasts, including downside commodity price and production scenarios, demonstrate that the Group believes that it has sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations as they fall due throughout the going concern period. As such, the Financial Statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis. Principles of consolidation A list of significant entities in the Group, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates at 30 June 2025 is contained in note 28 'Subsidiaries', note 29 'Investments accounted for using the equity method' and note 30 'Interests in joint operations'. Subsidiaries: The Financial Statements of the Group include the consolidation of BHP Group Limited (the Company or parent entity) and its subsidiaries, being the entities controlled by the parent entity during the year. Control exists where the Group: – has power over the investee – is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity – has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity The ability to approve the operating and capital budget of an entity and the ability to appoint key management personnel are decisions that demonstrate that the Group has the existing rights to direct the relevant activities of an entity. Where the Group's interest is less than 100 per cent, the interest attributable to outside shareholders is reflected in non-controlling interests. Changes in the Group's interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company. The financial information of subsidiaries is prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the Group's business combinations. Joint arrangements: The Group undertakes a number of business activities through joint arrangements, which exist when two or more parties have joint control. Joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures, based on the contractual rights and obligations between the parties to the arrangement: – Joint operations: A joint operation is an arrangement in which the Group shares joint control, primarily via contractual arrangements with other parties. In a joint operation, the Group has rights to the underlying assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. This includes situations where the parties benefit from the joint activity through a share of substantially all of the output, rather than by receiving a share of the results of trading. In relation to the Group's interest in a joint operation, the Group recognises: its assets and liabilities, including its share of any assets and liabilities held or incurred jointly; revenue from the sale of its share of the output and its share of any revenue generated from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and its expenses including its share of expenses incurred jointly. All such amounts are allocated in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, which is usually in proportion to the Group's interest in the joint operation. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRS Standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. 122 BHP Annual Report 2025

– Joint ventures: A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties that share joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A separate vehicle, not the parties, will have the rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. More than an insignificant share of output from a joint venture may be sold to third parties, which indicates the joint venture is not dependent on the parties to the arrangement for funding, nor do the parties have an obligation for the liabilities of the arrangement. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method as outlined below. Associates: The Group accounts for investments in associates using the equity method as outlined below. An entity is considered an associate where the Group is deemed to have significant influence but not control or joint control. Significant influence is presumed to exist where the Group: – has over 20 per cent but less than 50 per cent of the voting rights of an entity, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case or – holds less than 20 per cent of the voting rights of an entity; however, has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions affecting the entity The Group uses the term 'equity accounted investments' to refer to joint ventures and associates collectively. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is recognised initially at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group's share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that associate or joint venture, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. The financial information of joint arrangements is prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When the annual financial reporting date is different to the Group's, financial information is obtained as at 30 June in order to report on an annual basis consistent with the Group's reporting date. Foreign currencies Transactions related to the Group's worldwide operations are conducted in a number of foreign currencies. The majority of the subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates within each of the operations have assessed US dollars as the functional currency. Subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates that have functional currencies other than US dollars are not material to the financial performance or the financial position of the Group. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the income statement, except for qualifying cash flow hedges (which are deferred to equity) and foreign exchange gains or losses on foreign currency provisions for site closure and rehabilitation costs (which are capitalised in property, plant and equipment for operating sites). Significant judgements and estimates The Group's accounting policies require the use of judgement, estimates and assumptions. All judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the most current facts and circumstances and are reassessed on an ongoing basis. Actual results in future reporting periods may differ for these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Further information regarding the Group's significant judgements and key estimates and assumptions, being those where changes may materially affect financial results and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities to be reported in the next reporting period, are embedded within the following notes: Note 4 Significant events – Samarco dam failure 6 Taxation 11 Overburden removal costs 11 Depreciation of property, plant and equipment 13 Impairment of non-current assets 15 Closure and rehabilitation provisions 22 Leases 29 Investments accounted for using the equity method Additional information including sensitivity analysis, where appropriate, has been provided in the relevant notes to enhance an understanding of the impact of key estimates and assumptions on the Group's financial position and performance. Reserve estimates Reserves are estimates of the amount of product that can be demonstrated to be able to be economically and legally extracted from the Group's properties. In order to estimate reserves, assumptions are required about a range of technical and economic factors, including quantities, qualities, production techniques, recovery efficiency, production and transport costs, commodity supply and demand, commodity and carbon prices and exchange rates. Estimating the quantity and/or quality of reserves requires the size, shape and depth of ore bodies to be determined by analysing geological data, such as drilling samples and geophysical survey interpretations. Economic assumptions used to estimate reserves change from period-to-period as additional technical and operational data is generated. This process may require complex and difficult geological judgements to interpret the data. Reserve impact on financial reporting Estimates of reserves may change from period?to-period as the economic assumptions used to estimate reserves change and additional geological data is generated during the course of operations. Changes in reserves may affect the Group's financial results and financial position in a number of ways, including: – asset carrying values may be affected due to changes in estimated future production levels – depreciation, depletion and amortisation charged to the income statement may change where such charges are determined on the units of production basis, or where the useful economic lives of assets change – overburden removal costs recorded on the balance sheet or charged to the income statement may change due to changes in stripping ratios or the units of production basis of depreciation – closure and rehabilitation provisions may change where changes in estimated reserves affect expectations about the timing or cost of these activities – the carrying amount of deferred tax assets may change due to changes in estimates of the likely recovery of the tax benefits Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 123

Other consists of gold, uranium, silver, zinc and molybdenum. 3. Includes Blackwater and Daunia revenue until their divestment on 2 April 2024. 4. Total Coal revenue includes: steelmaking coal US$3,394 million (2024: US$5,793 million; 2023: US$7,430 million) and energy coal US$1,652 million (2024: US$1,873 million; 2023: US$3,528 million). 5. Group and unallocated items revenue includes: Western Australia Nickel, which transitioned into temporary suspension in December 2024, of US$758 million (2024: US$1,473 million; 2023: US$2,009 million) and other revenue US$9 million (2024: US$1 million; 2023: US$11 million). Revenue consists of revenue from contracts with customers of US$51,238 million (2024: US$55,375 million; 2023: US$53,910 million) and other revenue predominantly relating to provisionally priced sales of US$24 million (2024: US$283 million; 2023: US$(93) million). Recognition and measurement The Group generates revenue from the production and sale of commodities. Revenue is recognised when or as control of the promised goods or services passes to the customer. In most instances, control passes when the goods are delivered to a destination specified by the customer, typically on board the customer's appointed vessel. Revenue from the provision of services is recognised over time as the services are provided, but does not represent a significant proportion of total revenue and is aggregated with the respective asset and product revenue for disclosure purposes. The amount of revenue recognised reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services. Where the Group's sales are provisionally priced, the final price depends on future index prices. The amount of revenue initially recognised is based on the relevant forward market price. Adjustments between the provisional and final price are accounted for under IFRS 9/AASB 9 'Financial Instruments' (IFRS 9), separately recorded as other revenue and presented as part of the total revenue of each asset. The period between provisional pricing and final invoicing is typically between 60 and 120 days. Revenue from the sale of significant by-products is included within revenue. The Group applies the following practical expedients: – expected consideration is not adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the period between the delivery and when the customer pays for the promised good or service is one year or less – no disclosure is provided for information relating to unfulfilled performance obligations, either due to the expected duration of the contract term being one year or less, or for longer term contracts, because the entity has a right to consideration (and can recognise revenue) for goods delivered 3 Exceptional items Exceptional items are those gains or losses where their nature, including the expected frequency of the events giving rise to them, and impact is considered material to the Financial Statements. Such items included within the Group's profit for the year are detailed below.

Refer to note 4 'Significant events – Samarco dam failure' for further information. Western Australia Nickel impairment The Group recognised an impairment charge of US$2,675 million (after tax) in relation to the Western Australia Nickel assets. The impairment charge reflected the oversupply in the global nickel market that had seen a sharp decline in forward nickel prices in the short to medium term, escalation in capital costs for Western Australia Nickel, and changes to development plans including the Group's decision, announced on 11 July 2024, to temporarily suspend Nickel West operations and the West Musgrave project at Western Australia Nickel.

Blackwater and Daunia gain on divestment On 2 April 2024 BHP and Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd (MDP) completed the divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines (which were part of the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA)) to Whitehaven Coal. Each of BHP and MDP held a 50% interest in BMA. Whitehaven Coal paid a US$100 million deposit on signing of the Asset Sale Agreement on 18 October 2023 and a further US$2 billion cash on completion plus a preliminary completion adjustment of US$44.1 million for working capital and other agreed adjustments (100% interest basis). US$1.1 billion in cash remained payable over 3 years after completion and a potential additional amount up to US$0.9 billion in a price-linked earnout may also be payable over 3 years (100% interest basis). The price-linked earnout is subject to a cap of US$350 million each year and depends on average realised pricing exceeding agreed thresholds for each of the 3 years following completion on 2 April 2024. US$0.5 billion of this deferred and contingent consideration has been paid by Whitehaven Coal as at 30 June 2025.

Refer to note 4 'Significant events – Samarco dam failure' for further information. Chilean tax reform On 17 May 2023, the Chilean Lower House approved a Royalty Bill which would implement a 1 per cent royalty on revenues, a margin based tax with rates ranging between 8 per cent and 26 per cent, and a 46.5 per cent cap to the overall Chilean tax burden of mining companies. The President of the Lower House formally declared the legislative process complete on 12 June 2023, following receipt of the Chilean President's formal confirmation that he had waived his veto power to oppose any of the provisions of the Royalty Bill. On 13 July 2023, the Constitutional Court finalised its review of certain aspects of the Royalty Bill, relating only to the distribution of proceeds. Applying judgement, it was determined that the proposed tax rates were substantively enacted prior to 30 June 2023, as the scope of the Constitutional Court review did not extend to reviewing the tax rates. While the timing of when the Group's operations will be impacted by the reform depends on existing stability agreements, relevant deferred tax positions were remeasured by US$283 million in the Group's FY2023 Financial Statements. 128 BHP Annual Report 2025

4 Significant events – Samarco dam failure On 5 November 2015, the Samarco Mineração S.A. (Samarco) iron ore operation in Minas Gerais, Brazil, experienced a tailings dam failure that resulted in a release of mine tailings, flooding the communities of Bento Rodrigues, Gesteira and Paracatu de Baixo and impacting other communities downstream (the Samarco dam failure). Refer to section on 'Samarco' in the Operating and Financial Review. Samarco is jointly owned by BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (BHP Brasil) and Vale S.A. (Vale). BHP Brasil's 50 per cent interest is accounted for as an equity accounted joint venture investment. BHP Brasil does not separately recognise its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of Samarco, but instead records the investment as one line on the balance sheet. Each period, BHP Brasil recognised its 50 per cent share of Samarco's profit or loss and adjusted the carrying value of the investment in Samarco accordingly. Such adjustment continued until the investment carrying value was reduced to US$ nil, with any additional share of Samarco losses only recognised to the extent that BHP Brasil has an obligation to fund the losses. After applying equity accounting, any remaining carrying value of the investment is tested for impairment. Any charges relating to the Samarco dam failure incurred directly by BHP Brasil or other BHP entities are recognised 100 per cent in the Group's results. The financial impacts of the Samarco dam failure on the Group's income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement for the year ended 30 June 2025 are shown in the tables below and have been treated as an exceptional item.

The provision reflects the future cost estimates associated with the obligations set out in the Settlement Agreement (see below). Contingent liabilities will only be resolved when one or more uncertain future events occur or related impacts become capable of reliable measurement and, as such, determination of contingent liabilities disclosed in the Financial Statements requires significant judgement regarding the outcome of future events. A number of the claims below do not specify the amount of damages sought and, where this is specified, amounts could change as the matter progresses. Ultimately, future changes in all those matters for which a provision has been recognised or contingent liability disclosed could have a material adverse impact on BHP's business, competitive position, cash flows, prospects, liquidity and shareholder returns. 130 BHP Annual Report 2025

The following table summarises the current status of significant ongoing matters relating to the Samarco dam failure, along with developments during the financial year, and the associated treatment in the Financial Statements: Item Provision Contingent liability Samarco dam failure – Settlement Agreement On 2 March 2016, BHP Brasil, Samarco and Vale S.A. (Vale) (the Companies) entered into a Framework Agreement with the Federal Government of Brazil, the states of Espirito Santo and Minas Gerais, and certain other public authorities to establish a foundation (Fundação Renova) to develop and execute environmental and socio-economic programs (Programs) to remediate and provide compensation for damage caused by the Samarco dam failure (the Framework Agreement). Key Programs included those for financial assistance and compensation of impacted persons and those for remediation of impacted areas and resettlement of impacted communities. On 3 May 2016, the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecution Office brought a civil claim against BHP Brasil and others seeking R$155 billion for reparation, compensation and moral damages in relation to the Samarco dam failure. Since the lodgement of the claim, the Federal Court had issued a number of interim decisions, certain of which were subject to ongoing appeal at 30 June 2024. On 25 October 2024, the Companies entered into an agreement with the Federal Government of Brazil, State of Minas Gerais, State of Espirito Santo, public prosecutors and public defenders (Public Authorities) that delivers full and final settlement of the Framework Agreement obligations, the Federal Public Prosecution Office civil claim and other claims by the Public Authorities relating to Samarco's Fundão dam failure (Settlement Agreement). On 6 November 2024, the Settlement Agreement was fully ratified by the Brazilian Supreme Court. On 15 May 2025, the decision that ratified the Settlement Agreement became final and unappealable. The Settlement Agreement provides compensation and reparation for the impacts of the dam failure, and builds on the existing remediation and compensation work already performed by Fundação Renova. The Settlement Agreement was announced as having a financial value of R$170 billion (approximately US$31.7 billion¹) on a 100% basis, including amounts already spent plus future payments and obligations as follows: – R$38 billion (approximately US$7.9 billion1) in amounts already spent to 30 September 2024 on remediation and compensation since 2016. – R$100 billion (approximately US$18.0 billion1) in instalments over 20 years to the Public Authorities, the relevant municipalities and Indigenous peoples and traditional communities (Obligation to Pay). – Additional performance obligations for an estimated financial value of approximately R$32 billion (approximately US$5.8 billion1) that will be carried out by Samarco in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement (Obligations to Perform). These obligations include remediation and compensation programs that are expected to be largely completed over the next 15 years. Under the Settlement Agreement, Samarco is the primary obligor for the settlement obligations and BHP Brasil and Vale are each secondary obligors of any obligation that Samarco cannot fund or perform in proportion to their shareholding at the time of the dam failure, which is 50% each. While Samarco has recommenced operations, Samarco's long-term cash flow generation remains highly sensitive to factors including returning to full production capacity, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. Further, under the Samarco Judicial Reorganisation Plan (JR Plan), ratified by the JR Court on 1 September 2023, Samarco's funding of obligations to remediate and compensate the damages resulting from the dam failure is capped at US$1 billion for the period CY2024 to CY2030. Notwithstanding this cap, and subject to certain conditions, to the extent that Samarco each year has a positive cash balance after meeting its various obligations, during this period Samarco's shareholders are able to direct 50 per cent of Samarco's year end excess cash balance to fund remediation obligations, including those arising from the Settlement Agreement. The Group has considered the outcomes of the Settlement Agreement, including the estimated costs of executing the Obligations to Perform, and the extent to which Samarco may be in a position to fund any future outflows to measure the provision related to the Samarco dam failure at US$5,849 million at 30 June 2025. The provision reflects the Group's best estimate of outflows required to settle all obligations arising from the Settlement Agreement. Uncertainty remains around the Obligations to Perform, and there is a risk that outcomes may be materially higher or lower than amounts reflected in BHP Brasil's provision for the Samarco dam failure. Key areas of uncertainty include the future costs relating to the Obligations to Perform programs and the extent to which Samarco is able to directly fund the settlement obligations. Further information on the key areas of estimation uncertainty is provided in the 'Key judgements and estimates' section below. There is also risk in relation to claims brought in Brazil that seek to, among other things, change the eligibility parameters of the Settlement Agreement. The Companies are defending these claims. BHP Brasil, Samarco and Vale have maintained security under the Governance Agreement ratified on 8 August 2018, comprising insurance bonds and a charge over certain Samarco assets. On 6 August 2025, the Federal Court released this requirement, in line with the Settlement Agreement, which does not mandate maintaining the existing security. This decision is subject to any appeal that may be filed. 1. USD amounts reflect those included in the announcement of the settlement agreement calculated based on actual transactional (historical) exchange rates related to funding provided to Fundação Renova for investment to date with future spend calculated using the 28 June 2024 BRL/USD exchange rate of 5.56.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued Item Provision Contingent liability Australian class action complaint BHP Group Limited is named as a defendant in a shareholder class action filed in the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of persons who acquired shares in BHP Group Limited or BHP Group Plc (now BHP Group (UK) Ltd) in periods prior to the Samarco dam failure. The amount of damages sought is unspecified. A trial is scheduled to commence in September 2025. United Kingdom group action claim and Vale and Samarco's Netherlands collective action claim BHP Group (UK) Ltd (formerly BHP Group Plc) and BHP Group Limited (BHP Defendants) are named as defendants in group action claims for damages filed in the courts of England. These claims were filed on behalf of certain individuals, municipalities, businesses, faith-based institutions and communities in Brazil allegedly impacted by the Samarco dam failure, some of whom are eligible for compensation under the Settlement Agreement. The amount of damages sought in these claims is unspecified. The BHP Defendants subsequently filed a contribution claim against Vale, which was withdrawn after reaching the agreement in July 2024 described below. A trial in relation to the BHP Defendants' liability for the dam failure concluded in March 2025 and a ruling on liability is pending. In the event that the BHP Defendants are found liable, a second trial has been listed to commence in October 2026, directed to generic issues of causation and quantification. Subject to the outcome of that trial, a further trial may be necessary to determine the amount of any damages and compensation owed to the claimants. The outcome of these proceedings, including the extent of any liability or damages, remains uncertain and therefore a present obligation in relation to this matter is yet to be determined. In January 2024, the BHP Defendants were served with a new group action filed in the courts of England on behalf of additional individuals and businesses in Brazil allegedly impacted by the Samarco dam failure. The new action makes broadly the same claims as the original action and the amount of damages sought in these claims is unspecified. The claims have been stayed by the English court pending the outcome of the liability trial referred to above. In March 2024, a collective action complaint was filed in the Netherlands against Vale and a Dutch subsidiary of Samarco for compensation relating to the Samarco dam failure. That complaint, which formally commenced in February 2025, indicates that these claims were filed on behalf of certain individuals, municipalities, businesses, associations and faith-based institutions allegedly impacted by the Samarco dam failure who are not also claimants in the UK group action claims referred to above. BHP is not a defendant in the Netherlands proceedings. In July 2024, the BHP Defendants, BHP Brasil and Vale entered into an agreement – without any admission of liability in any proceedings – whereby: (i) Vale will pay 50% of any amounts that may be payable by the BHP Defendants to the claimants in the UK group action claims (or by the BHP Defendants, BHP Brasil or their related parties to claimants in any other proceedings in Brazil, England or the Netherlands covered by the agreement); and (ii) BHP Brasil will pay 50% of any amounts that may be payable by Vale to the claimants in the Netherlands proceedings (or by Vale or its related parties to claimants in any other proceedings in Brazil, England or the Netherlands covered by the agreement). The agreement reinforced the terms of the Framework Agreement entered into in 2016 and is consistent with the aforementioned Settlement Agreement entered into in October 2024, which requires BHP Brasil and Vale to each contribute 50% to the funding of the settlement obligations where Samarco is unable to contribute that funding. While the Settlement Agreement did not resolve the English and Netherlands proceedings, certain claimants in those proceedings are eligible to receive payments under the Settlement Agreement if they choose to do so. In October 2024, certain Brazilian municipalities, who are claimants in the UK group action claims referred to above, brought criminal contempt proceedings against the BHP Defendants in relation to their alleged involvement in a constitutional claim brought by a third-party Brazilian mining association (IBRAM) before the Brazilian Supreme Court. In June 2025, the High Court in London rejected the BHP Defendants' application to strike out the proceedings, allowing the contempt proceedings to continue. The BHP Defendants have sought permission to appeal that decision. The contempt proceedings remain ongoing and the outcome is uncertain at this stage. 4 Significant events – Samarco dam failure continued 132 BHP Annual Report 2025

Item Provision Contingent liability Criminal charges The Federal Prosecutors' Office filed criminal charges against BHP Brasil, Samarco and Vale and certain of their employees and former employees (Affected Individuals) in the Federal Court of Ponte Nova, Minas Gerais (Federal Court). The Federal Court granted decisions in favour of all Affected Individuals, terminating the charges against these individuals. As to the remaining cases, in November 2024, the Federal Court ruled that BHP Brasil, Samarco and Vale and certain Affected Individuals (non-affiliated with BHP) who still had their cases open, are not liable for criminal offences relating to the failure of Samarco's tailings dam. In December 2024 the Federal Prosecutors' Office filed an appeal, and a ruling is pending. Civil public action commenced by Associations concerning the use of TANFLOC for water treatment On 17 November 2023, the Federal Court dismissed the lawsuit filed by four associations due to procedural reasons. The judgment is final and unappealable. In July 2024, two further associations filed another lawsuit against Samarco, BHP Brasil and Vale and others, including the States of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo, the Federal Government and the Water Treatment Companies, who were all also defendants in the first lawsuit. This second lawsuit was also dismissed due to procedural reasons on 12 November 2024, and the associations have appealed this judgement. In both lawsuits the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants carried out a clandestine study on the citizens of the locations affected by the Samarco dam failure where Tanfloc (a tannin-based flocculant/coagulant) was used in the water treatment process. The plaintiffs claim that this product put the population at risk due to its alleged experimental qualities and dosage applied. The plaintiffs presented largely similar pleas e.g. material damages, moral damages. Other claims BHP Brasil is among the Companies named as defendants in a number of legal proceedings initiated by individuals, nongovernmental organisations, corporations and governmental entities in Brazilian Federal and State courts following the Samarco dam failure. The other defendants include Vale, Samarco and Fundação Renova. The lawsuits include claims for compensation, environmental reparation and violations of Brazilian environmental and other laws, among other matters. The lawsuits seek various remedies including reparation costs, compensation to injured individuals and families of the deceased, recovery of personal and property losses, moral damages and injunctive relief. Certain of these legal proceedings are outside the scope of the Settlement Agreement. In addition, actions for alleged damages, fees and/or expenses related to claims concerning the Samarco dam failure have been, and may in the future be, brought against the Group. Government inquiries, studies and investigations relating to the Samarco dam failure and actions taken in response to it have also been commenced by numerous agencies and individuals of the Brazilian government and may still be ongoing. Additional legal proceedings and government investigations relating to the Samarco dam failure could be brought against BHP Brasil and other Group entities in Brazil or other jurisdictions. The outcomes of these claims, investigations and proceedings remain uncertain and continue to be disclosed as contingent liabilities. Commitments Under the terms of the Samarco joint venture agreement, BHP Brasil does not have an existing obligation to fund Samarco. However, under the Settlement Agreement, while Samarco is the primary obligor for the Settlement Agreement obligations, BHP Brasil and Vale are each secondary obligors of any obligation that Samarco cannot fund (including as restricted by the terms of the Judicial Reorganisation Plan) or perform in proportion to their shareholding at the time of the dam failure, which is 50% each. BHP Brasil has approved preliminary funding of up to US$2.9 billion to Samarco for the Settlement Agreement obligations during calendar year 2025.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued Key judgements and estimates Judgements The outcomes of litigation are inherently difficult to predict and significant judgement has been applied in assessing the likely outcome of legal claims and determining which legal claims require recognition of a provision or disclosure of a contingent liability. The facts and circumstances relating to these cases are regularly evaluated in determining whether a provision for any specific claim is required. Management has determined that a provision can be recognised at 30 June 2025 to reflect the estimated costs associated with obligations under the Settlement Agreement. It is not yet possible to provide a range of possible outcomes or a reliable estimate of potential future exposures to BHP in connection to the contingent liabilities noted above, given their status. Estimates The provision for the Samarco dam failure reflects the Group's estimate of the costs to meet the Group's obligations under the Settlement Agreement and requires the use of significant judgements, estimates and assumptions. While the provision has been measured based on the latest information available, changes in facts and circumstances are likely in future reporting periods and may lead to material revisions to these estimates and there is a risk that outcomes may be materially higher or lower than amounts currently reflected in the provision. However, it is currently not possible to determine what facts and circumstances may change, therefore revisions in future reporting periods due to the key estimates and factors outlined below cannot be reliably measured. The key estimates that may have a material impact upon the provision in the next and future reporting periods include: – the cost of compensation to individuals, small businesses, Municipalities and Indigenous and Traditional communities; and – the extent to which Samarco is able to directly fund any future obligations relating to the Settlement Agreement. Samarco's long-term cash flow generation remains highly sensitive to factors including its ability to return to full production capacity, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. The provision may also be affected by factors including but not limited to updates to discount and foreign exchange rates. To limit the Group's exposure to potential Brazilian reais foreign exchange volatility, the Group has entered into forward exchange contracts, predominantly covering the period up to FY2028. A 0.5% increase in the discount rate would, in isolation, reduce the provision by approximately US$100 million. In addition, the provision may be impacted by decisions in, or resolution of, existing and potential legal claims in Brazil including in relation to eligibility under, and adherence to, the Settlement Agreement and claims in other jurisdictions, including the outcome of the United Kingdom group action claims, the Australian class action and the claim filed in the Netherlands against Vale and a Dutch subsidiary of Samarco. Given these factors, future actual cash outflows may differ from the amounts currently provided and changes to any of the key assumptions and estimates outlined above could result in a material impact to the provision in the next and future reporting periods. The following section provides disclosure of matters to which Samarco (and not the Group) is a party. Samarco Dam failure related provision and contingencies In addition to its provisions in relation to the Settlement Agreement as at 30 June 2025, Samarco has recognised a provision of US$0.1 billion (30 June 2024: US$0.4 billion), based on currently available information, in relation to other dam failure related matters to which BHP Brasil is not a party. The magnitude, scope and timing of these additional costs are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and Samarco has indicated that it anticipates that it will incur future costs beyond those provided. These uncertainties are likely to continue for a significant period and changes to key assumptions could result in a material change to the amount of the provision in future reporting periods. Any such unrecognised obligations are therefore contingent liabilities and, at present, it is not practicable to estimate their magnitude or possible timing of payment. Accordingly, it is also not possible to provide a range of possible outcomes or a reliable estimate of total potential future exposures at this time. Samarco is also named as a defendant in a number of other legal proceedings initiated by individuals, non-governmental organisations, corporations and governmental entities in Brazilian Federal and State courts following the Samarco dam failure. The lawsuits include claims for compensation, environmental rehabilitation and violations of Brazilian environmental and other laws, among other matters. The lawsuits seek various remedies including rehabilitation costs, compensation to injured individuals and families of the deceased, recovery of personal and property losses, moral damages and injunctive relief. In addition, government inquiries and investigations relating to the Samarco dam failure have been commenced by numerous agencies of the Brazilian government and are ongoing. Given the status of proceedings it is not possible to provide a range of possible outcomes or a reliable estimate of total potential future exposures to Samarco. Additional lawsuits and government investigations relating to the Samarco dam failure could be brought against Samarco. Samarco has also identified a number of individually immaterial tax-related uncertainties which have been reflected, where appropriate, in the Group's share of associate and joint venture contingent liabilities presented in note 32 'Contingent liabilities'. Samarco insurance Samarco has standalone insurance policies in place with Brazilian and global insurers. Insurers' loss adjusters or claims representatives continue to investigate and assist with the claims process for matters not yet settled. As at 30 June 2025, an insurance receivable has not been recognised by Samarco in respect of ongoing matters. Samarco non-dam failure related provisions and contingent liabilities The following non-dam failure related matters pre-date and are unrelated to the Samarco dam failure. Samarco is currently contesting aspects of both of these matters in the Brazilian courts. Given the status of these tax matters, the timing of resolution and potential economic outflow for Samarco is uncertain. Brazilian Social Contribution Levy Samarco has received tax assessments for the alleged non-payment of Brazilian Social Contribution Levy for the calendar years 2007-2014. Based on its assessment of currently available information as at 30 June 2025, Samarco recognised gross provisions of US$0.4 billion, US$0.2 billion net of US$0.2 billion court deposits paid (30 June 2024: gross provisions of US$0.4 billion, US$0.2 billion net of US$0.2 billion court deposits paid) and has not disclosed contingent liabilities (30 June 2024: contingent liabilities of US$0.2 billion). As at 30 June 2025, BHP Brasil's 50% share of the impact of the provision recognised by Samarco is reflected in the Group's equity accounting for Samarco. Brazilian corporate income tax rate Samarco has received tax assessments, and disclosed contingent liabilities, for the alleged incorrect calculation of Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) in respect of the 2000– 2003 and 2007–2014 income years totalling approximately US$1.0 billion (30 June 2024: US$1.0 billion). Brazilian mining royalties Samarco has received assessments, and disclosed contingent liabilities, for the alleged incorrect calculation of Financial Compensation for the Exploitation of Mineral Resources (CFEM) in respect of the period 1998-2017 totalling approximately US$0.4 billion (30 June 2024: US$0.4 billion). 4 Significant events – Samarco dam failure continued 134 BHP Annual Report 2025

Recognition and measurement Taxation on the profit/(loss) for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Taxation is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the tax effect is also recognised in equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax Deferred tax Royalty-related taxation Current tax is the expected tax on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for in accordance with IAS 12/AASB 112 'Income Taxes' (IAS 12). Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences relating to: – initial recognition of goodwill – initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, except where the transaction gives rise to equal and offsetting taxable and deductible temporary differences – investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and when the tax balances are related to taxes levied by the same tax authority and the Group intends to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Royalties are treated as taxation arrangements (impacting income tax expense/(benefit)) when they are imposed under government authority and the amount payable is calculated by reference to revenue derived (net of any allowable deductions) after adjustment for temporary differences. Obligations arising from royalty arrangements that do not satisfy these criteria are recognised as current liabilities and included in expenses. International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting previously published the Pillar Two model rules designed to address the tax challenges arising from the digitalisation of the global economy, including the implementation of a global minimum tax. The Group has a presence in jurisdictions that have enacted or substantively enacted legislation in relation to the OECD/G20 BEPS Pillar Two model rules, including Australia, where its ultimate parent entity is a tax resident. This effectively brings all jurisdictions in which the Group has a presence into the scope of the rules. The Group's current tax expense related to Pillar Two income taxes is US$1 million for the year ended 30 June 2025. The temporary exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes has been applied at 30 June 2025. The Group continues to monitor and evaluate the domestic implementation of the Pillar Two rules in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The implementation of legislation that is enacted or substantively enacted but not yet in effect is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's global effective tax rate. Uncertain tax and royalty matters The Group operates across many tax jurisdictions. Application of tax law can be complex and requires judgement to assess risk and estimate outcomes. These judgements are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of tax assets and tax liabilities, including deferred tax, recognised on the balance sheet and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. The evaluation of tax risks considers both amended assessments received and potential sources of challenge from tax authorities. The status of proceedings for these matters will impact the ability to determine the potential exposure and in some cases, it may not be possible to determine a range of possible outcomes or a reliable estimate of the potential exposure. Tax and royalty matters with uncertain outcomes arise in the normal course of business and occur due to changes in tax law, changes in interpretation of tax law, periodic challenges and disagreements with tax authorities and legal proceedings. Tax and royalty obligations assessed as having probable future economic outflows capable of reliable measurement are recognised as current or deferred tax amounts, as appropriate, as at 30 June 2025. Matters with a possible economic outflow and/or presently incapable of being measured reliably are contingent liabilities and disclosed in note 32 'Contingent liabilities'. Details of uncertain tax and royalty matters relating to Samarco are disclosed in note 4 'Significant events – Samarco dam failure'. Key judgements and estimates Income tax classification Judgements: The Group's accounting policy for taxation, including royalty-related taxation, requires management's judgement as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Deferred tax Judgements: Judgement is required in: – determining the amount of deferred tax assets to be recognised based on the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits; – assessing whether changes in tax regimes or applicable tax rates are substantively enacted at the reporting date; – recognising deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences in investments. These deferred tax liabilities caused principally by retained earnings held in foreign tax jurisdictions are recognised unless repatriation of retained earnings can be controlled and is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future. In FY2023, judgement was applied in determining the Chilean Royalty Bill was substantively enacted at the reporting date. It was considered that the process of enactment was complete and the remaining steps for enactment would not change the outcome of the tax rates to be applied in measuring the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Estimates: The Group assesses the recoverability of recognised and unrecognised deferred taxes, including losses in Australia, the United States and Canada on a consistent basis. Estimates and assumptions relating to projected earnings and cash flows as applied in the Group impairment process are used for operating assets. These forecasts are also used to estimate the royalty-related tax rates to apply when the deferred tax assets are realised and deferred tax liabilities are settled.

The calculation of the number of ordinary shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of ordinary shares of BHP Group Limited outstanding during the period after deduction of the number of shares held by the BHP Group Limited Employee Equity Trust. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the effect of 10 million dilutive shares has been taken into account for the year ended 30 June 2025 (2024: 9 million shares; 2023: 9 million shares). The Group's only potential dilutive ordinary shares are share awards granted under employee share ownership plans for which terms and conditions are described in note 26 'Employee share ownership plans'. Diluted earnings per share calculation excludes instruments which are considered antidilutive. At 30 June 2025, there are no instruments which are considered antidilutive (2024: nil; 2023: nil). 138 BHP Annual Report 2025

Trade receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment, except for provisionally priced receivables which are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9. The collectability of trade and other receivables is assessed continuously. At the reporting date, specific allowances are made for any expected credit losses based on a review of all outstanding amounts at reporting period-end. Individual receivables are written off when management deems them unrecoverable. The net carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair values. Credit risk Trade receivables generally have terms of less than 30 days. The Group has no material concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty and is not dominantly exposed to any individual industry. Credit risk can arise from the non-performance by counterparties of their contractual financial obligations towards the Group. To manage credit risk, the Group maintains Group-wide procedures covering the application for credit approvals, granting and renewal of counterparty limits, proactive monitoring of exposures against these limits and requirements triggering secured payment terms. As part of these processes, the credit exposures with all counterparties are regularly monitored and assessed on a timely basis. The credit quality of the Group's customers is reviewed and the solvency of each debtor and their ability to pay the receivable is considered in assessing receivables for impairment. The 10 largest customers represented 35 per cent (2024: 39 per cent) of total credit risk exposures managed by the Group. Receivables are deemed to be past due or impaired in accordance with the Group's terms and conditions. These terms and conditions are determined on a case-by-case basis with reference to the customer's credit quality, payment performance and prevailing market conditions. As at 30 June 2025, trade receivables of US$26 million (2024: US$59 million) were past due but not impaired. The majority of these receivables were less than 30 days overdue. At 30 June 2025, trade receivables are stated net of provisions for expected credit losses of US$2 million (2024: US$1 million). 9 Trade and other payables 2025 US$M 2024 US$M Trade payables 5,082 5,338 Other payables 1,588 1,426 Total 6,670 6,764 Comprising: Current 6,637 6,719 Non-current 33 45 10 Inventories 2025 US$M 2024 US$M Definitions Raw materials and consumables 2,677 2,305 Spares, consumables and other supplies yet to be utilised in the production process or in the rendering of services.

Inventory write-downs of US$243 million were recognised during the year (2024: US$69 million; 2023: US$100 million) and included US$133 million associated with the transition of WAN operations into temporary suspension (2024: nil; 2023: nil). Inventory write-downs of US$18 million made in previous periods were reversed during the year (2024: US$19 million; 2023: US$37 million). Recognition and measurement Regardless of the type of inventory and its stage in the production process, inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined primarily on the basis of average costs and involves estimates of expected metal recoveries and work in progress volumes, calculated using available industry, engineering and scientific data. These estimates are periodically reassessed by the Group taking into account technical analysis and historical performance. For processed inventories, cost is derived on an absorption costing basis. Cost comprises costs of purchasing raw materials and costs of production, including attributable mining and manufacturing overheads taking into consideration normal operating capacity. Inventory quantities are assessed primarily through surveys and assays. Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 139

Refer to note 22 'Leases' for the movement of the right-of-use assets. 5. Relates to the divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines completed on 2 April 2024. Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. Cost is the fair value of consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction and includes the direct costs of bringing the asset to the location and the condition necessary for operation and the estimated future costs of closure and rehabilitation of the facility. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Refer to note 22 'Leases' for further details. Right-of-use assets are presented within the category of property, plant and equipment according to the nature of the underlying asset leased. Exploration and evaluation Exploration costs are incurred to discover mineral resources. Evaluation costs are incurred to assess the technical feasibility and commercial viability of resources found. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged to the income statement as incurred, except in the following circumstances in which case the expenditure may be capitalised: – the exploration and evaluation activity is within an area of interest that was previously acquired as an asset acquisition or in a business combination and measured at fair value on acquisition or – the existence of a commercially viable mineral deposit has been established A regular review of each area of interest is undertaken to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area. Capitalised costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively by its sale. To the extent that capitalised expenditure is no longer expected to be recovered, it is charged to the income statement. 140 BHP Annual Report 2025

Development expenditure When proven mineral reserves are determined and development is sanctioned, capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is reclassified as assets under construction within property, plant and equipment. All subsequent development expenditure is capitalised and classified as assets under construction, provided commercial viability conditions continue to be satisfied. The Group may use funds sourced from external parties to finance the acquisition and development of assets and operations. Finance costs are expensed as incurred, except where they relate to the financing of construction or development of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquiring or constructing a qualifying asset are capitalised during the development phase. In the instance where saleable material is extracted prior to the commissioning of a project/site, sale proceeds are recognised as revenue, with associated costs also recognised in the income statement. On completion of development, all assets included in assets under construction are reclassified within the relevant category of property, plant and equipment according to the nature of the underlying asset and depreciation commences. Other mineral assets Other mineral assets comprise: – capitalised exploration, evaluation and development expenditure for assets in production – mineral rights acquired – capitalised development and production stripping costs Overburden removal costs The process of removing overburden and other waste materials to access mineral deposits is referred to as stripping. Stripping is necessary to obtain access to mineral deposits and occurs throughout the life of an open-pit mine. Development and production stripping costs are classified as other mineral assets in property, plant and equipment. Stripping costs are accounted for separately for individual components of an ore body. The determination of components is dependent on the mine plan and other factors, including the size, shape and geotechnical aspects of an ore body. The Group accounts for stripping activities as follows: Development stripping costs These are initial overburden removal costs incurred to obtain access to mineral deposits that will be commercially produced. These costs are capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits (access to mineral ores) will flow to the Group and costs can be measured reliably. Once the production phase begins, capitalised development stripping costs are depreciated using the units of production method based on the proven and probable reserves of the relevant identified component of the ore body which the initial stripping activity benefits. Production stripping costs These are post initial overburden removal costs incurred during the normal course of production activity, which commences after the first saleable minerals have been extracted from the component. Production stripping costs can give rise to two benefits, the accounting for which is outlined below: Production stripping activity Benefits of stripping activity Extraction of ore (inventory) in current period. Improved access to future ore extraction. Period benefited Current period Future period(s) Recognition and measurement criteria When the benefits of stripping activities are realised in the form of inventory produced; the associated costs are recorded in accordance with the Group's inventory accounting policy. When the benefits of stripping activities are improved access to future ore; production costs are capitalised when all the following criteria are met: – the production stripping activity improves access to a specific component of the ore body and it is probable that economic benefits arising from the improved access to future ore production will be realised – the component of the ore body for which access has been improved can be identified – costs associated with that component can be measured reliably Allocation of costs Production stripping costs are allocated between the inventory produced and the production stripping asset using a life-of-component waste-to-ore (or mineral contained) strip ratio. When the current strip ratio is greater than the estimated life-of-component ratio a portion of the stripping costs is capitalised to the production stripping asset. Asset recognised from stripping activity Inventory Other mineral assets within property, plant and equipment. Depreciation basis Not applicable On a component-by-component basis using the units of production method based on proven and probable reserves. Key judgements and estimates Judgements: Judgement is applied by management in determining the components of an ore body. Estimates: Estimates are used in the determination of stripping ratios and mineral reserves by component. Changes to estimates related to life-of-component waste-to-ore (or mineral contained) strip ratios and the expected ore production from identified components are accounted for prospectively and may affect depreciation rates and asset carrying values. Depreciation Depreciation of assets, other than land, assets under construction and capitalised exploration and evaluation that are not depreciated, is calculated using either the straight-line (SL) method or units of production (UoP) method, net of residual values, over the estimated useful lives of specific assets. The depreciation method and rates applied to specific assets reflect the pattern in which the asset's benefits are expected to be used by the Group. The UoP depreciation method is used when the pattern of use is best reflected by production volumes. The Group's proved and probable reserves for minerals assets are used to determine UoP depreciation unless doing so results in depreciation charges that do not reflect the asset's useful life. Where this occurs, alternative approaches to determining reserves are applied, to provide a phasing of periodic depreciation charges that better reflects the asset's expected useful life. Where assets are dedicated to a mine lease, the useful lives below are subject to the lesser of the asset category's useful life and the life of the mine lease, unless those assets are readily transferable to another productive mine. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and therefore not depreciated.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued 11 Property, plant and equipment continued Key estimates The determination of useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods involves estimates and assumptions and is reviewed annually. Any changes to useful lives or any other estimates or assumptions, including the expected impact of climate change and the transition to a lowcarbon economy, may affect prospective depreciation rates and asset carrying values. The table below summarises the principal depreciation methods and rates applied to major asset categories by the Group.

Goodwill is not amortised and is measured at cost less any impairment losses. Other intangibles The Group capitalises amounts paid for the acquisition of identifiable intangible assets, such as software and licences, where it is considered that they will contribute to future periods through revenue generation or reductions in cost. These assets, classified as finite life intangible assets, are carried in the balance sheet at the fair value of consideration paid (cost) less accumulated amortisation and impairment charges. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The estimated useful lives are generally no greater than eight years. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and therefore not amortised. 142 BHP Annual Report 2025

Impairment of equity accounted investment is recognised within 'Profit/(loss) from equity accounted investments, related impairments and expenses' in the Consolidated Income Statement. 2. Reversal of impairment is recognised as exceptional. Refer to note 3 'Exceptional items' for further information. Recognition and measurement Impairment tests for all non-financial assets (excluding goodwill) are performed when there is an indication of impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs, being the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. If the carrying amount of the asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or CGU is impaired and an impairment loss is charged to the income statement so as to reduce the carrying amount in the balance sheet to its recoverable amount. Previously impaired assets (excluding goodwill as impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods) are reviewed for possible reversal of previous impairment at each reporting date. Impairment reversal cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or CGU. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement. How recoverable amount is calculated The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGU's fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCD) and its value in use (VIU). Fair value less cost of disposal FVLCD is an estimate of the amount that a market participant would pay for an asset or CGU, less the cost of disposal. FVLCD for mineral assets is generally determined using independent market assumptions to calculate the present value of the estimated future post-tax cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, including the anticipated cash flow effects of any capital expenditure to enhance production or reduce cost, and its eventual disposal where a market participant may take a consistent view. Cash flows are discounted using an appropriate post-tax market discount rate to arrive at a net present value of the asset, which is compared against the asset's carrying value. FVLCD may also take into consideration other market-based indicators of fair value. FVLCD are based primarily on Level 3 inputs as defined in note 24 'Financial risk management' unless otherwise noted. Value in use VIU is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and its eventual disposal or closure. VIU is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Group's continued use and cannot take into account future development. These assumptions are different to those used in calculating FVLCD and consequently the VIU calculation is likely to give a different result (usually lower) to a FVLCD calculation. Impairment of non-current assets (excluding goodwill) No material impairment of non-current assets for the year ended 30 June 2025. Impairment of non-current assets relating to the year ended 30 June 2024 are detailed below. Western Australia Nickel At 30 June 2024, the Group determined the recoverable amount (based on a fair value less costs of disposal methodology, applying discounted cash flow techniques utilising a post-tax real discount rate of 7.5 per cent) of the Western Australia Nickel CGU to be approximately negative US$600 million including closure provisions. Considering the recoverable amount of individual assets within the CGU, this resulted in an aggregate impairment to property, plant and equipment of US$3,744 million and intangible assets of US$56 million in FY2024. The impairment was driven by oversupply in the global nickel market that saw a sharp decline in forward nickel prices in the short to medium term, escalation in capital costs for Western Australia Nickel, and changes to development plans including the Group's decision, announced on 11 July 2024, to temporarily suspend Nickel West operations and the West Musgrave project at Western Australia Nickel. The post-impairment carrying value of Western Australia Nickel property, plant and equipment is not material.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued 13 Impairment of non-current assets continued Impairment test for goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill has been allocated to the CGUs, or groups of CGUs, as follows: Cash generating unit 2025 US$M 2024 US$M Copper SA 1,154 1,154 Other 187 187 Total goodwill 1,341 1,341 For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of previous business combinations, which represent the level at which management will monitor and manage goodwill. Copper SA goodwill Impairment test conclusion The Group performed an impairment test of the Copper SA Group of CGUs, including goodwill, as at 30 June 2025 and an impairment charge was not required. How did the goodwill arise? Goodwill of US$1,010 million and US$144 million in relation to the acquisitions of WMC Resources Ltd (2005) and OZ Minerals Ltd (2023), respectively. Segment Copper SA is part of the Copper reportable segment. How were the valuations calculated? FVLCD methodology using DCF techniques has been applied in determining the recoverable amount of Copper SA. Significant assumptions and sensitivities The valuation of Copper SA exceeded its carrying amount by approximately US$10.5 billion (2024:US$8.4 billion) and is most sensitive to changes in copper commodity price, production volumes, operating costs and discount rates. It is considered that there are no reasonably possible changes in these key assumptions that would, in isolation, result in the estimated recoverable amount being equal to the carrying amount. The valuation applied a post-tax real discount rate of 7.0 per cent (2024: 7.0 per cent). Key judgements and estimates that have been applied in the FVLCD valuation are disclosed further below. Goodwill held by other CGUs is US$187 million (2024: US$187 million). This represents less than one per cent of net assets at 30 June 2025 (2024: less than one per cent). There was no impairment of other goodwill in the year to 30 June 2025 (2024: US$ nil). Key judgements and estimates Judgements: Assessment of indicators of impairment or impairment reversal and the determination of CGUs for impairment purposes require significant management judgement. Indicators of impairment may include changes in the Group's operating and economic assumptions, including those arising from changes in reserves or mine planning, updates to the Group's commodity supply, demand and price forecasts, or the possible additional impacts from emerging risks including those related to climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy. Climate change The Group's impairment assessments may be impacted by climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy. Further detail is provided in note 16 'Climate change'. Estimates: The Group performs a recoverable amount determination for an asset or CGU when there is an indication of impairment or impairment reversal. When the recoverable amount is measured by reference to FVLCD, in the absence of quoted market prices or binding sale agreement, estimates are made regarding the present value of future post-tax cash flows. These estimates are made from the perspective of a market participant and include prices, future production volumes, operating costs, capital expenditure, closure and rehabilitation costs, taxes, risking factors applied to cash flows and discount rates. The cash flow forecasts may include net cash flows expected from the extraction, processing and sale of material that does not currently qualify for inclusion in ore reserves. Reserves and resources are included in the assessment of FVLCD to the extent that it is considered probable that a market participant would attribute value to them. When recoverable amount is measured using VIU, estimates are made regarding the present value of future cash flows based on internal budgets and forecasts and life of asset plans. Key estimates are similar to those identified for FVLCD, although some assumptions and values may differ as they reflect the perspective of management rather than a market participant. All estimates require judgements and assumptions and are subject to risk and uncertainty that may be beyond the control of the Group; hence, there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will materially alter projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU at each reporting date. While no indicators of impairment, or impairment reversal, were identified across the Group's CGUs at 30 June 2025, the carrying value of the Spence CGU is the most susceptible to changes in the significant estimates outlined below in the next reporting period. The significant estimates impacting the Group's recoverable amount determinations are: Commodity prices Commodity prices were based on latest internal forecasts which assume short-term market prices will revert to the Group's assessment of long-term price. These price forecasts reflect management's long-term views of global supply and demand, built upon past experience of the commodity markets and are benchmarked with external sources of information such as analyst forecasts. Prices are adjusted based upon premiums or discounts applied to global price markers to reflect the location, nature and quality of the Group's production, or to take into account contracted prices. Future production volumes Estimated production volumes were based on detailed data and took into account development plans established by management as part of the Group's long-term planning process. When estimating FVLCD, assumptions reflect all reserves and resources that a market participant would consider when valuing the respective CGU, which in some cases are broader in scope than the reserves that would be used in a VIU test. In determining FVLCD, risk factors may be applied to reserves and resources which do not meet the criteria to be treated as proved. Cash outflows (including operating costs, capital expenditure, closure and rehabilitation costs and taxes) Cash outflows are based on internal budgets and forecasts and life of asset plans. Cost assumptions reflect management experience and expectations. Tax assumptions reflect existing and substantively enacted tax and royalty regimes and rates applicable in the jurisdiction of the CGU. In the case of FVLCD, cash flow projections include the anticipated cash flow effects of any capital expenditure to enhance production or reduce cost where a market participant may take a consistent view. VIU does not take into account future development. Discount rates The Group uses real post-tax discount rates applied to real post-tax cash flows. The discount rates are derived using the weighted average cost of capital methodology. Adjustments to the rates are made for any risks that are not reflected in the underlying cash flows, including country risk. 144 BHP Annual Report 2025

The Group is required to close and rehabilitate sites and associated facilities at the end of or, in some cases, during the course of production to a condition acceptable to the relevant authorities, as specified in licence requirements and the Group's closure performance requirements. The key components of closure and rehabilitation activities are: – the removal of all unwanted infrastructure associated with an operation – the return of disturbed areas to a safe, stable and self-sustaining condition, consistent with the agreed post-closure land use Recognition and measurement Provisions for closure and rehabilitation are recognised by the Group when: – it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events – it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation – the amount can be reliably estimated Initial recognition and measurement Subsequent measurement Closure and rehabilitation provisions are initially recognised when an environmental disturbance first occurs. The individual site provisions are an estimate of the expected value of future cash flows required to close the relevant site using current standards and techniques and taking into account risks and uncertainties. Individual site provisions are discounted to their present value using currency specific discount rates aligned to the estimated timing of cash outflows. When provisions for closure and rehabilitation are initially recognised, the corresponding cost is capitalised as an asset, representing part of the cost of acquiring the future economic benefits of the operation. The closure and rehabilitation asset, recognised within property, plant and equipment, is depreciated over the life of the operations. The value of the provision is progressively increased over time as the effect of discounting unwinds, resulting in an expense recognised in net finance costs. The closure and rehabilitation provision is reviewed at each reporting date to assess if the estimate continues to reflect the best estimate of the obligation. If necessary, the provision is remeasured to account for factors such as: – additional disturbance during the period – revisions to estimated reserves, resources and lives of operations including any changes to expected operating lives arising from the Group's latest assessment of the potential impacts of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy – developments in technology – changes to regulatory requirements and environmental management strategies – changes in the estimated extent and costs of anticipated activities, including the effects of inflation and movements in foreign exchange rates – movements in interest rates affecting the discount rate applied Changes to the closure and rehabilitation estimate for operating sites are added to, or deducted from, the related asset and amortised on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the operation, generally applying the units of production method. Costs arising from unforeseen circumstances, such as the contamination caused by unplanned discharges, are recognised as an expense and liability when the event gives rise to an obligation that is probable and capable of reliable estimation. Closed sites Where future economic benefits are no longer expected to be derived through operation, changes to the associated closure and remediation costs are charged to the income statement in the period identified. The amount charged to the income statement, inclusive of exchange translation and remediation costs related to contaminated sites, was US$101 million in the year ended 30 June 2025 (2024: US$38 million; 2023: US$4 million). Key estimates Closure cost estimates are generally based on conceptual level studies early in the operating life of an asset with more detailed studies and planning performed as closure risks (including those related to climate change) are identified and/or as an asset, or parts thereof, near closure. As such, the recognition and measurement of closure and rehabilitation provisions requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to: – the extent (due to legal or constructive obligations) of potential activities required for the removal of infrastructure, decharacterisation of tailings storage facilities and rehabilitation activities – costs associated with future closure activities – the extent and period of post-closure monitoring and maintenance, including water management – applicable discount rates – the timing of cash flows and ultimate closure of operations The extent, cost and timing of future closure activities may also be impacted by the potential physical impacts of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy. Further detail is provided in note 16 'Climate change'. Estimates for post-closure monitoring and maintenance reflect the Group's strategies for individual sites, which may include possible relinquishment. The period of monitoring and maintenance included in the provision requires judgement and considers regulatory and licencing requirements, the outcomes of studies and management's current assessment of stakeholder expectations. While progressive closure is performed across a number of operations, significant activities are generally undertaken at the end of the production life at the individual sites, the estimated timing of which is informed by the Group's current assumptions relating to demand for commodities and carbon pricing, and their impact on the Group's long-term price forecasts. Approximately 44 per cent (2024: 52 per cent) of the Group's total undiscounted forecast cashflows are expected to be incurred after more than 30 years, reflecting the long-lived nature of many of the Group's operations which have remaining production lives ranging from 4–86 years (2024: 5–87 years). The discount rates applied to the Group's closure and rehabilitation provisions are determined by reference to the currency of the closure cash flows, the period over which the cash flows will be incurred and prevailing market interest rates (where available). The discount rates applied to the Group's closure and rehabilitation provisions were revised during the year to reflect increases in market interest rates. The effect of changes to discount rates was a decrease of approximatively US$340 million in the closure and rehabilitation provision of which US$110 million in respect of closed and contaminated sites was recognised in the income statement. While the closure and rehabilitation provisions reflect management's best estimates based on current knowledge and information, further studies, trials and detailed analysis of relevant knowledge and resultant closure activities for individual assets continue to be performed throughout the life of asset. Such studies and analysis can impact the estimated costs of closure activities. Estimates can also be impacted by the emergence of new closure and rehabilitation techniques, changes in regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations for closure (including costs associated with equitable transition), development of new technologies, risks relating to climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy, and experience at other operations. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided for in the balance sheet. Sensitivity A 0.5 per cent increase in the discount rates applied at 30 June 2025 would result in a decrease to the closure and rehabilitation provision of approximately US$665 million, a decrease in property, plant and equipment of approximately US$443 million in relation to operating sites and an income statement credit of approximately US$222 million in respect of closed and contaminated sites. In addition, the change would result in a decrease of approximately US$27 million to depreciation expense and a US$29 million increment in net finance costs due to unwind of discount for the year ending 30 June 2026. Given the long-lived nature of the majority of the Group's assets, the majority of final closure activities are generally not expected to occur for a significant period of time. However, a one-year acceleration in forecast cash flows of the Group's closure and rehabilitation provisions, in isolation, would result in an increase to the provision of approximately US$291 million, an increase in property, plant and equipment of US$169 million in relation to operating sites and an income statement charge of US$122 million in respect of closed sites and contaminated sites.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued 16 Climate change The Group recognises that warming of the climate is unequivocal, the human influence is clear and physical impacts are unavoidable. Identifying, monitoring and assessing the actual and potential impacts of climate change is complex and the Group continues to assess the actual and potential financial impacts of climate-related risks (threats and opportunities), including the transition to a low-carbon economy and physical risk impacts. The Group's current climate change strategy focuses on developing a portfolio of commodities to support the megatrends shaping our world, reducing operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 from our operated assets), supporting value chain (Scope 3) GHG emissions reductions, and managing climate-related risks. Areas of these Financial Statements that may be impacted in connection with this strategy throughout the value creation and delivery cycle of the Group's operations, include: Phase Area of potential Financial Statement impact Exploration and acquisition – Portfolio decisions Development and mining/process and logistics – Transition risks and asset carrying values – Physical risks and asset carrying values – Application of carbon pricing assumptions on asset valuations – Acquisition and use of carbon credits – Useful economic lives of property, plant and equipment – Expenditure on operational decarbonisation Sales, marketing and procurement – Expenditure to support value chain decarbonisation Closure and rehabilitation – Timing, scope and expected cost of closure and rehabilitation activities The significant judgements and key estimates used in the preparation of these Financial Statements reflect the Group's current planning range (which implies a projected global average temperature increase of approximately 2°C by CY2100), as described below. At the date of issue of these Financial Statements, indicators show the appropriate measures are not in place globally to drive decarbonisation at the pace or scale required to achieve the aim of the Paris Agreement to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century. Changes to the Group's climate change strategy or global decarbonisation trends may impact the Group's significant judgements and key estimates, and result in material changes to financial results, cash flows and the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities in future reporting periods. Portfolio decisions Over recent years, the Group has repositioned its portfolio towards commodities that can help enable and support the megatrends of decarbonisation, electrification, digitisation, urbanisation and population growth. Refer to note 2 'Revenue', which presents current and prior year revenue by commodity. In January 2025, the Group completed the formation of Vicuña Corp, a 50/50 joint venture with Lundin Mining to develop the combined Filo del Sol and Josemaria copper deposits in Argentina and Chile. This transaction aligns with the Group's strategy to acquire early-stage copper deposits. Vicuña Corp has been recognised as an equity accounted investment; refer to note 29 'Investments accounted for using equity method' for more information. In April 2025, the Group received approval from the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure to continue mining at New South Wales Energy Coal (NSWEC) for an additional four years, as part of the planned closure of the site in June 2030. The approval provides more certainty to the Group's employees, the local community, suppliers and local businesses and enables time to continue working collaboratively on the Group's plans to cease mining and, subject to future approvals, transition the site to its next productive use. As at 30 June 2025, the potential exposure to further impairment for NSWEC is limited to the book value of PP&E of US$900 million, with the forecast cash flows over the proposed operating period supporting the current carrying value. Further, the useful lives of NSWEC PP&E do not exceed the remaining proposed operating period. As announced in July 2024, following oversupply in the global nickel market, Nickel West operations and West Musgrave project (Western Australia Nickel or WAN) entered into temporary suspension during FY2025. The Group intends to review the decision to temporarily suspend Western Australia Nickel by February 2027. As part of this review, BHP is assessing the potential divestment of the WAN assets. Transition risks and asset carrying values Significant judgements and key estimates in relation to the preparation of these Financial Statements, including asset carrying values and impairment assessments, are impacted by the Group's current assessment of the range of economic and climate-related conditions that could exist in the world's transition to a low-carbon economy. For example, demand for the Group's commodities may decrease due to policy, regulatory (including carbon pricing mechanisms), legal, technological, market or societal responses to climate change, resulting in a proportion of a cash generating unit's (CGU) reserves becoming incapable of extraction in an economically viable fashion. Alternatively, technological or market developments increasing demand for commodities in the portfolio that help enable decarbonisation may have a positive impact on prices for those commodities. The Group has developed three unique planning cases which comprise the Group's planning range: a 'most likely' base case, used as the basis for judgements and assumptions in these Financial Statements, and an upside case and downside case that provide the range's boundaries. The three cases reflect proprietary forecasts for the global economy and associated sub-sectors (i.e. energy, transport, agriculture and steel) and the resulting market outlook for the Group's core commodities. This planning range implies a projected global average temperature increase of around 2°C by CY2100. Given the complexity and inherent uncertainty of long run forecasting, these pathways are reviewed periodically to reflect new information, with a process in place to assess the need to update internal long-term price outlooks for developments in the periods between pathway updates. The Group reflects the planning range and associated price outlooks in the internal valuations used as the basis for the Group's impairment assessments. The discount rate used in the internal valuations reflects a real post-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC), including country and state risk premia where appropriate, which ranges from 7.0 per cent to 9.5 per cent across the Group (2024: 7.0 per cent to 9.5 per cent). Cash flow forecasts used as the basis for impairment testing consider asset specific risks, including physical climate-related risks, and therefore the Group does not apply a separate climate-related risk adjustment in the Group's WACC. Further detail on the Group's significant judgements and estimates that inform the planning range and FY2025 impairment assessments, is included in note 13 'Impairment of non-current assets'. 148 BHP Annual Report 2025

Carbon pricing assumptions Investment decisions and asset valuations used for the purposes of impairment testing consider carbon price assumptions in relevant regions by applying a carbon price to estimated unmitigated Scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions over the life of the respective operation. In determining the Group's strategy and carbon price forecast, factors including a country's current and announced climate policies, targets and societal factors, such as public acceptance and demographics, are considered. The Group's base case projections estimate that carbon prices are likely to rise over time, ranging from US$1 to US$199 per tCO2 by FY2030 and US$28 to US$285 by FY2050. Sensitivity of asset carrying values to a 1.5°C scenario The Group acknowledges that there are a range of energy transition scenarios, including those that are aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, that may indicate different outcomes for individual commodities. The Group periodically performs 1.5°C scenario analysis and associated portfolio resilience testing, with the last update performed in CY2024. All 1.5°C scenarios require historically unprecedented global annual GHG emission reductions across all sectors, sustained for decades, to stay within a 1.5°C carbon budget (i.e. the total net amount of GHG emissions that can be emitted worldwide to limit global average temperature increase to 1.5°C by CY2100). 1.5°C scenarios generally assume significant electrification efforts which benefit commodities such as copper, nickel and uranium. The value of potash would be expected to increase in 1.5°C scenarios due to assumptions around higher land competition and the need for agricultural productivity. For hard-to-abate sectors, such as steelmaking, 1.5°C scenarios generally make aggressive assumptions including large technological, political and behavioural shifts. Indicators show the appropriate measures are not in place globally to drive decarbonisation pathways at a pace or scale required to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels (particularly in hard-to-abate sectors, like steelmaking). However, to provide analysis of the risk of potential impairment under a 1.5°C scenario for assets in commodities associated with a hard-to-abate sector (i.e. steelmaking), the Group has reviewed an external scenario aligned to a global average temperature increase limited to approximately 1.5°C. The scenario used is published by Wood Mackenzie (WM1.5), a research and consultancy business, which highlights the scenario as a challenging target for the steelmaking industry that would require seismic changes to achieve. WM1.5 is one of many hypothetical pathways for the future based on different assumptions relating to world-wide economies, associated global energy systems and policy landscapes. The Group considers that it is impracticable to fully assess all potential Financial Statement impacts in scenario analysis. Accordingly, the Group has performed a price?only sensitivity for its steelmaking coal assets which reflects different prices while assuming that all other factors in the asset valuations, such as production and sales volumes, capital and operating expenditures, carbon pricing and the discount rate, remain unchanged from those used in the Group's FY2025 impairment assessments (other than an assumption that mining operations will cease at the point at which the assets begin to generate negative cash flows). As such, the sensitivity does not attempt to assess all potential impacts, including those on asset valuations, that may arise under a 1.5°C scenario and does not consider all the actions the Group could take in respect of operating and investment plans to mitigate the cash flow and valuation impacts that may arise in a 1.5°C scenario. Under WM1.5, reflecting the prices outlined below and acknowledging that the Group sees a 1.5°C temperature outcome as unlikely based on current indicators, a price-only sensitivity would result in an indicative illustrative impairment of approximately US$2 billion for the Group's steelmaking coal assets. Price source CY2040 Price (real, US$/tonne) CY2050 Price (real, US$/tonne) Wood Mackenzie Net Zero (1.5°C) Scenario (July 2025) 171 162 The prices derived from WM1.5 for iron ore do not indicate a risk of impairment for the Group's iron ore assets under a 1.5°C scenario. The Group continues to monitor global decarbonisation signposts and updates its planning range, associated price outlooks and cost of carbon assumptions. If such signposts indicate the appropriate measures are in place for achievement of a 1.5°C outcome, this would be reflected in the Group's planning range. Physical climate-related risk impacts on asset carrying values The Group's operations are exposed to physical climate-related risks. In FY2025, the Group continued to progress studies of physical climate?related risks to better understand the potential impacts on safety, productivity and cost, with the work to continue in FY2026. The studies consider potential impacts of acute and chronic risks from material climate hazards, which differ based on an operated asset's geographic region, asset infrastructure and operational processes. The studies are being conducted using a bespoke dataset incorporating latest-generation climate projections for the period CY2026 to CY2085 informed by three Shared Socio-economic Pathway (SSP) scenarios used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): – Low-case: Estimated average global temperature increase of 1.8°C by CY2100 (SSP1-2.6) – Mid-case: Estimated average global temperature increase of 2.7°C by CY2100 (SSP2-4.5) – High-case: Estimated average global temperature increase of 4.4°C by CY2100 (SSP5-8.5) The Group's assessment of physical climate-related risks uses scenarios that differ from the planning range (~2°C increase) and 1.5°C scenarios due to higher temperature outcomes usually being associated with greater physical climate-related risks. The studies are ongoing and therefore the Group's consideration of physical climate-related risks, including factors such as potential operational interruptions caused by extreme weather events, includes only the Group's current best estimates of related potential financial impacts. Given the complexity of physical climate-related risk modelling and the status of the Group's ongoing physical risk assessment process, the identification of additional risks and/or the detailed development of the Group's responses may result in material changes to financial results and the carrying values of assets and liabilities in future reporting periods.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued Carbon credits The Group's carbon credits, and offsetting strategy is managed at the Group level. The Group currently acquires carbon credits primarily for regulatory purposes. The Group's plan is to achieve its FY2030 operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from the Group's operated assets) target through structural abatement, but if there is an unanticipated shortfall in the pathway to achieve the target, there may be a need to surrender voluntary carbon credits to close the performance gap. The Group will not use regulatory carbon credits when determining whether it has achieved its FY2030 target. The Group may also sell carbon credits, depending on internal use requirements, or originate carbon credits through project development or direct investment. Acquired carbon credits are recognised as an asset initially at cost and are subsequently subject to impairment and/or net realisable value assessments. Classification of the asset reflects the intended manner of use: – Inventory – where the intended use is uncertain or the carbon credit is available for trading purposes (either separately or 'bundled' with sale of a commodity) (FY2025: nil, FY2024: nil); or – Intangible asset – held for regulatory or voluntary surrender (FY2025: US$19 million, FY2024: US$23 million) The Group has also recognised a prepayment of US$32 million for the future delivery of carbon credits. Obligations arising from GHG emission schemes, such as the Australian Safeguard Mechanism are recognised as a liability at the reporting date when the Group has an obligation (FY2025: US$8 million, FY2024: US$17 million). During FY2025, the Group surrendered approximately US$17 million in carbon credits (~724,000 tCO2-e) to satisfy Australian operated assets' FY2024 Safeguard Mechanism obligations (FY2024: US$1 million, 47,000 tCO2-e). There were no voluntary surrenders. Useful economic lives of property, plant and equipment The determination of useful lives of the Group's PP&E requires judgement, including consideration of the Group's climate change strategy, targets and goals, decarbonisation plans and the possible impact of transition risks on demand for the Group's commodities. Useful lives are reviewed each reporting period, including to ensure they do not exceed the remaining expected operating life of the operation in which they are utilised. The remaining lives of the Group's operations reflect the Group's planning range and its underlying climate?related assumptions. A key component of the Group's operational decarbonisation strategy is the displacement of diesel within the Group's operations, particularly the haul truck fleet. The Group is supporting the development of new equipment by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including entering into partnerships focused on the development and trialling of electric locomotives and haul trucks. In FY2025, the pace of development of some decarbonisation technology has slowed, particularly relating to delays in the displacement of diesel used for materials movement. The Group's operational plans continue to assume the progressive replacement of haul trucks and other diesel-powered equipment only at the end of their useful lives in line with the Group's regular fleet renewal programs. Renewal programs are expected to utilise technology available at the time of the scheduled replacement. As such, expected fleet decarbonisation did not impact the estimated remaining useful lives of the Group's existing fleet assets in FY2025. Expenditure on operational decarbonisation The Group set a medium-term target to reduce its operational GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 from the Group's operated assets) by at least 30 per cent from the Group's FY2020 baseline levels by FY2030 and a long-term goal to achieve net zero operational GHG emissions by CY2050. The FY2020 baseline for the medium-term target and subsequent performance is adjusted for acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes. Operational decarbonisation activities during FY2025 continued to focus on transitioning the Group's electricity supply to renewable sources. A significant proportion of the Group's renewable electricity is currently sourced through power purchase agreements and judgement is required in determining the appropriate accounting treatment of such arrangements. Depending on the specific terms and conditions, power purchase agreements may be recognised as an expense when incurred, a financial derivative or a lease liability, with an associated right of use asset. In addition to operational expenditure on renewable energy, the Group recognised the following in relation to power purchase agreements as at 30 June 2025: – US$43 million of lease liabilities (2024: US$44 million) – financial derivatives with a fair value of approximately US$37 million (2024: US$92 million) Following the slowdown in the pace of development of diesel displacement projects for materials movement, the Group now expects that the majority of expenditure associated with the introduction of diesel displacement technologies will be delayed into the 2030s. Considering these delays, the estimated spend to execute the Group's operational decarbonisation plans over the decade to FY2030 is US$0.5 billion (reflecting capital expenditure and lease payments). This amount reflects the incremental cost to facilitate the Group's reduction in operational GHG emissions. The Group remains on track to meet its medium-term target to reduce operational GHG emissions by at least 30 per cent by FY2030. Estimated future cash flows for the Group's assets include amounts associated with projects aimed at contributing to the achievement of the Group's medium-term target and long-term goal. These cash flow estimates form the basis of the Group's impairment assessments as outlined in further detail in note 13 'Impairment of non-current assets'. All estimates require judgements and assumptions and are subject to risk and uncertainty that may be beyond the control of the Group; hence, there is a possibility that further changes in external circumstances and/or any change to the Group's climate change strategy could materially alter the expected level of expenditure on operational decarbonisation and the associated Financial Statement significant judgements and key estimates. 16 Climate change continued 150 BHP Annual Report 2025

Expenditure to support value chain decarbonisation The Group continues to invest, including through partnership with others, in potential GHG emissions reduction opportunities in its value chain through technology innovation and development to support GHG emissions reductions by steelmaking customers and in the maritime industry. While the Group seeks to influence reduction opportunities, Scope 3 emissions occur outside of the Group's direct control. Reduction pathways are dependent on the development, and upstream or downstream deployment of, solutions and/or supportive policy and improvements in Scope 3 emissions measurement. Where possible, the financial impact of the Group's activities in support of the development of Scope 3 emissions reduction pathways is reflected in these Financial Statements. In FY2025, this included expenditure of approximately US$60 million to support collaborative partnerships, consortiums, research and development and BHP Ventures investments. Given the inherent uncertainty in future technology and policy advancements, it is not currently possible to reliably estimate or measure the full potential Financial Statement impacts of the Group's pursuit of its Scope 3 goals and targets. Timing, scope and expected cost of closure and rehabilitation activities The extent, timing and cost of the Group's future closure activities may be impacted by potential physical and transition climate-related impacts. In estimating the potential cost of closure activities, the Group considers factors such as long-term weather outlooks, for example forecast changes in rainfall patterns. Closure cost estimates also consider the impact of the Group's climate change strategy on the costs and timing of performing closure activities and the impact of new technology where appropriately developed and tested. For example, closure cost estimates largely continue to reflect the use of existing fuel sources for the Group's equipment while the Group continues to invest in the development of alternative fuel sources and fleet electrification. The estimated cost of closure activities includes management's current best estimate in relation to post-closure monitoring and maintenance, which may be required for significant periods beyond the completion of other closure activities and is therefore exposed to potential long-term climate-related impacts. While reflecting management's current best estimate, the cost of post-closure monitoring and maintenance may change in future reporting periods as the understanding of, and potential long-term impacts from a changing climate continue to evolve. Given the long-lived nature of the majority of the Group's assets, many final closure activities are not expected to occur for a significant period of time. However: – Acknowledging the wide range of potential energy transition impacts for steelmaking coal demand and the impact of any significant changes in demand on mine lives, for illustrative purposes only, a one-year change in the mine life of the Group's steelmaking coal assets would, in isolation, change the closure and rehabilitation provisions for those assets by approximately US$40 million. – The Group received approval to continue mining at NSWEC for an additional four years, as part of the planned closure of the site in June 2030. As such, while the provision is subject to estimation and assumptions, the timing of closure is no longer considered materially susceptible to potential long-term climate-related transition risks. Further, while the Group is evaluating the approach to the closure of NSWEC and potential expenditure relating to an equitable change and transition for its workforce, the Group continues to engage with its employees and the community to understand and develop the most appropriate transition plan. As the Group's approach is currently under development with impacted parties, it is not yet supported by a detailed, formal plan or commitment and therefore no provision relating to equitable change and transition costs can be recognised as at 30 June 2025. More detail on the key judgements and estimates impacting the Group's closure and rehabilitation provisions is presented in note 15 'Closure and rehabilitation provisions'.

The Group monitors capital using the net debt balance and the gearing ratio, being the ratio of net debt to net debt plus net assets. The net debt definition includes the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to hedge cash and borrowings which reflects the Group's risk management strategy of reducing the volatility of net debt caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates. Under IFRS 16/AASB 16 'Leases', certain vessel lease contracts are required to be remeasured at each reporting date to the prevailing freight index. While these liabilities are included in the Group interest bearing liabilities, they are excluded from the net debt calculation as they do not align with how the Group assesses net debt for decision making in relation to the Capital Allocation Framework. In addition, the freight index has historically been volatile which creates significant short-term fluctuation in these liabilities. 2025 2024 US$M Current Non-current Current Non-current Interest bearing liabilities Bank loans 40 3,691 540 2,070 Notes and debentures 1,316 16,337 848 14,084 Lease liabilities 641 2,312 686 2,430 Bank overdraft and short-term borrowings 1—3—Other 20 138 7 50 Total interest bearing liabilities 2,018 22,478 2,084 18,634 Less: Lease liability associated with index-linked freight contracts 185 148 267 244 Less: Cash and cash equivalents Cash 7,244—8,150—Short-term deposits 4,650—4,351—Less: Total cash and cash equivalents 11,894—12,501—Less: Derivatives included in net debt Net debt management related instruments1 13 (608) (171) (1,224) Net cash management related instruments2 (60)—(19)—Less: Total derivatives included in net debt (47) (608) (190) (1,224) Net debt 12,924 9,120 Net assets 52,218 49,120 Gearing 19.8% 15.7% 1.

Further information on the Group's risk management activities relating to these balances is provided in note 24 'Financial risk management'. Liquidity risk The Group's liquidity risk arises from the possibility that it may not be able to settle or meet its obligations as they fall due and is managed as part of the portfolio risk management strategy. Operational, capital and regulatory requirements are considered in the management of liquidity risk, in conjunction with short-term and long-term forecast information. Recognising the cyclical volatility of operating cash flows, the Group has defined minimum target cash and liquidity buffers to be maintained to mitigate liquidity risk and support operations through the cycle. The Group's strong credit profile, diversified funding sources, its minimum cash buffer and its committed credit facilities ensure that sufficient liquid funds are maintained to meet its daily cash requirements. The Group's Moody's credit rating has remained at A1/P-1 outlook stable (long-term/short-term). The Group's Fitch rating has remained at A/F1 outlook stable (long-term/short-term). There were no defaults on the Group's liabilities during the period. Counterparty risk The Group is exposed to credit risk from its financing activities, including short-term cash investments such as deposits with banks and derivative contracts. This risk is managed by Group Treasury in line with the counterparty risk framework, which aims to minimise the exposure to a counterparty and mitigate the risk of financial loss through counterparty failure. Exposure to counterparties is monitored at a Group level across all products and includes exposure with derivatives and cash investments. Investments and derivatives are only transacted with approved counterparties who have been assigned specific limits based on a quantitative credit risk model. These limits are updated at least bi-annually. Additionally, derivatives are subject to tenor limits and investments are subject to concentration limits by rating. Derivative fair values are inclusive of valuation adjustments that take into account both the counterparty and the Group's risk of default. Standby arrangements and unused credit facilities The Group's US$5.5 billion committed revolving credit facility operates as a back-stop to the Group's uncommitted commercial paper program. The combined amount drawn under the facility or as commercial paper will not exceed US$5.5 billion. As at 30 June 2025, US$ nil commercial paper was drawn (2024: US$ nil). The facility was refinanced on 10 July 2025 and has a 5-year maturity, with two one-year extension options. A commitment fee is payable on the undrawn balance and interest is payable on any drawn balance comprising a reference rate plus a margin. The agreed margins are typical for a credit facility extended to a company with the Group's credit rating.

Relates to the divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines completed on 2 April 2024. A significant proportion by value of the Group's lease contracts relate to plant facilities, office buildings and vessels. Lease terms for plant facilities and office buildings typically run for over 10 years and vessels from four to 10 years. Other leases include port facilities, various equipment and vehicles. The lease contracts contain a wide range of different terms and conditions including extension and termination options and variable lease payments. The Group's lease obligations are included in the Group's Interest bearing liabilities and, with the exception of vessel lease contracts that are priced with reference to a freight index, form part of the Group's net debt. Refer to note 21 'Net debt' for maturity profile of lease liabilities based on the undiscounted contractual amounts.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued 22 Leases continued Recognition and measurement All leases with the exception of short-term (under 12 months) and low-value leases are recognised on the balance sheet, as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding interest bearing liability. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments from the lease commencement date and are subsequently adjusted to reflect the interest on lease liabilities, lease payments and any remeasurements due to, for example, lease modifications or a change to future lease payments linked to an index or rate. Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, where the rate is not readily determinable, the interest payments are discounted at the Group's weighted average incremental borrowing rate, adjusted to reflect factors specific to the lease, including where relevant the currency, tenor and location of the lease. In addition to containing a lease, the Group's contractual arrangements may include non-lease components. For example, certain mining services arrangements involve the provision of additional services, including maintenance, drilling activities and the supply of personnel. The Group has elected to separate these non-lease components from the lease components in measuring lease liabilities. Non-lease components are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policies applied to each underlying good or service received. Low-value and short-term leases are expensed to the income statement. Variable lease payments not dependent on an index or rate are excluded from lease liabilities, and expensed to the income statement. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost will initially correspond to the lease liability, adjusted for initial direct costs, lease payments made prior to lease commencement, capitalised provisions for closure and rehabilitation and any lease incentives received. The lease asset and liability associated with all index-linked freight contracts, including continuous voyage charters (CVCs), are measured at each reporting date based on the prevailing freight index (generally the Baltic C5 index). Where the Group is the operator of an unincorporated joint operation and all investors are parties to a lease, the Group recognises its proportionate share of the lease liability and associated right-of-use asset. In the event the Group is the sole signatory to a lease, and therefore has the sole legal obligation to make lease payments, the lease liability is recognised in full. Where the associated right-of-use asset is sub-leased (under a finance sub-lease) to a joint operation, for instance where it is dedicated to a single operation and the joint operation has the right to direct the use of the asset, the Group (as lessor) recognises its proportionate share of the right-of-use asset and a net investment in the lease, representing amounts to be recovered from the other parties to the joint operation. If the Group is not party to the head lease contract but sub-leases the associated right-of-use asset (as lessee), it recognises its proportionate share of the right-of-use asset and a lease liability which is payable to the operator. Key judgements and estimates Judgements: Certain contractual arrangements not in the form of a lease require the Group to apply significant judgement in evaluating whether the Group controls the right to direct the use of assets and therefore whether the contract contains a lease. Management considers all facts and circumstances in determining whether the Group or the supplier has the rights to direct how, and for what purpose, the underlying assets are used in certain mining contracts and other arrangements, including outsourcing and shipping arrangements. Judgement is used to assess which decisionmaking rights mostly affect the benefits of use of the assets for each arrangement. Where a contract includes the provision of non-lease services, judgement is required to identify the lease and non-lease components. Estimates: Where the Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, estimation is involved in the determination of the weighted average incremental borrowing rate to measure lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the rates of interest a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Under the Group's portfolio approach to debt management, the Group does not specifically borrow for asset purchases. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate is estimated referencing the Group's corporate borrowing portfolio and other similar rated entities, adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (including the impact of currency, credit rating of subsidiary entering into the lease and the term of the lease), at the inception of the lease arrangement or the time of lease modification. The Group estimates stand-alone prices, where such prices are not readily observable, in order to allocate the contractual payments between lease and non-lease components. 23 Net finance costs 2025 US$M 2024 US$M 2023 US$M Financial expenses Interest expense using the effective interest rate method: Interest on bank loans, overdrafts and all other borrowings 1,325 1,467 997 Interest capitalised at 5.97% (2024: 6.82%; 2023: 5.71%)1 (595) (530) (271) Interest on lease liabilities 169 181 130 Discounting on provisions and other liabilities 975 1,064 1,293 Other gains and losses: Fair value change on hedged loans 263 (214) (803) Fair value change on hedging derivatives (290) 188 691 Exchange variations on net debt (94) 27 9 Other 18 15 14 Total financial expenses 1,771 2,198 2,060 Financial income Interest income (603) (709) (529) Other (57) — Total financial income (660) (709) (529) Net finance costs 1,111 1,489 1,531 1.

24 Financial risk management 24.1 Financial risks Financial and capital risk management strategy The financial risks arising from the Group's operations comprise market, liquidity and credit risk. These risks arise in the normal course of business and the Group manages its exposure to them in accordance with the Group's portfolio risk management strategy. The objective of the strategy is to support the delivery of the Group's financial targets, while protecting its future financial security and flexibility by taking advantage of the natural diversification provided by the scale, diversity and flexibility of the Group's operations and activities. As part of the risk management strategy, the Group monitors target gearing levels and credit rating metrics under a range of different stress test scenarios incorporating operational and macroeconomic factors. Market risk management The Group's activities expose it to market risks associated with movements in interest rates, foreign currencies and commodity prices. Under the strategy outlined above, the Group seeks to achieve financing costs, currency impacts, input costs and commodity prices on a floating or index basis. In executing the strategy, financial instruments are potentially employed in three distinct but related activities. The following table summarises these activities and the key risk management processes: Activity Key risk management processes 1 Risk mitigation On an exception basis, hedging for the purposes of mitigating risk related to specific and significant expenditure on investments or capital projects will be executed if necessary to support the Group's strategic objectives. Execution of transactions within approved mandates. 2 Economic hedging of commodity sales, operating costs, short-term cash deposits, other monetary items and debt instruments Where Group commodity production is sold to customers on pricing terms that deviate from the relevant index target and where a relevant derivatives market exists, financial instruments may be executed as an economic hedge to align the revenue price exposure with the index target and US dollars. Measuring and reporting the exposure in customer commodity contracts and issued debt instruments. Where debt is issued in a currency other than the US dollar and/or at a fixed interest rate, fair value and cash flow hedges may be executed to align the debt exposure with the Group's functional currency of US dollars and/or to swap to a floating interest rate. Executing hedging derivatives to align the total group exposure to the index target. Where short-term cash deposits and other monetary items are denominated in a currency other than US dollars, derivative financial instruments may be executed to align the foreign exchange exposure to the Group's functional currency of US dollars. Execution of transactions within approved mandates. 3 Strategic financial transactions Opportunistic transactions may be executed with financial instruments to capture value from perceived market over/ under valuations. Execution of transactions within approved mandates. Primary responsibility for the identification and control of financial risks, including authorising and monitoring the use of financial instruments for the above activities and stipulating policy thereon, rests with the Financial Risk Management Committee under authority delegated by the Chief Executive Officer. Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding borrowings and short-term cash deposits from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed interest rate financial instruments. Interest rate risk is managed as part of the portfolio risk management strategy. The majority of the Group's debt is issued at fixed interest rates. The Group has entered into interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps to convert most of its fixed interest rate exposure to floating US dollar interest rate exposure. As at 30 June 2025, 98 per cent of the Group's borrowings were exposed to floating interest rates inclusive of the effect of swaps (2024: 97 per cent). The fair value of interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps in hedge relationships used to hedge both interest rate and foreign currency risks are shown in the valuation hierarchy in section 24.4 'Derivatives and hedge accounting'. Based on the net debt position as at 30 June 2025, taking into account interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps, it is estimated that a one percentage point increase in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) interest rate will decrease the Group's equity and profit after taxation by US$72 million (2024: decrease of US$47 million). This assumes the change in interest rates is effective from the beginning of the financial year and the fixed/floating mix and balances are constant over the year. Currency risk The US dollar is the predominant functional currency within the Group and as a result, currency exposures arise from transactions and balances in currencies other than the US dollar. The Group's potential currency exposures comprise: – translational exposure in respect of non-functional currency monetary items – transactional exposure in respect of non-functional currency expenditure and revenues The Group's foreign currency risk is managed as part of the portfolio risk management strategy.

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued 24 Financial risk management continued Translational exposure in respect of non-functional currency monetary items Monetary items, including financial assets and liabilities, denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of an operation are restated at the end of each reporting period to US dollar equivalents and the associated gain or loss is taken to the income statement. The exception is foreign exchange gains or losses on foreign currency denominated provisions for closure and rehabilitation at operating sites, which are capitalised in property, plant and equipment. The Group has entered into cross currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forwards to convert its significant foreign currency exposures in respect of monetary items into US dollars. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are therefore not expected to have a significant impact on equity and profit after tax. The following table shows the carrying values of financial assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period denominated in currencies other than the US dollar that are exposed to foreign currency risk: Net financial (liabilities)/assets – by currency of denomination 2025 US$M 2024 US$M AUD (4,181) (3,850) CLP (924) (150) CAD (361) (543) EUR (89) 239 GBP (28) 323 BRL 337 (29) Other 123 72 Total (5,123) (3,938) The principal non-functional currencies to which the Group is exposed are the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Chilean peso, the Pound sterling, the Brazilian real and the Euro. Based on the Group's net financial assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2025, a weakening of the US dollar against these currencies (one cent strengthening in Australian dollar, one cent strengthening in Canadian dollar, 10 pesos strengthening in Chilean peso, one penny strengthening in Pound sterling, one centavo strengthening in Brazilian real and one cent strengthening in Euro), with all other variables held constant, would decrease the Group's equity and profit after taxation by US$29 million (2024: decrease of US$17 million). Transactional exposure in respect of non-functional currency expenditure and revenues Certain operating and capital expenditure is incurred in currencies other than an operation's functional currency. To a lesser extent, certain sales revenue is earned in currencies other than the functional currency of operations and certain exchange control restrictions may require that funds be maintained in currencies other than the functional currency of the operation. These currency risks are managed as part of the portfolio risk management strategy. The Group may enter into forward exchange contracts when required under this strategy. Commodity price risk The risk associated with commodity prices is managed as part of the portfolio risk management strategy. Substantially all of the Group's commodity production is sold on market-based index pricing terms, with derivatives used from time to time to achieve a specific outcome. Financial instruments with commodity price risk comprise forward commodity and other derivative contracts with net liabilities at fair value of US$1 million (2024: net liabilities of US$42 million). Other financial assets at fair value includes US$122 million (2024: US$195 million) in relation to amounts receivable for the divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines which are contingent on future realised coal prices. A 10 per cent change in the coal realised price used in the valuation model, with all other factors held constant, would increase or decrease profit after taxation by approximately US$60 million. Provisionally priced commodity sales and purchases contracts Provisionally priced sales or purchases volumes are those for which price finalisation, referenced to the relevant index, is outstanding at the reporting date. Provisional pricing mechanisms within these sales and purchases arrangements have the character of a commodity derivative. Trade receivables or payables under these contracts are carried at fair value through profit or loss using Level 2 valuation inputs based on forecast prices in the quotation period. The Group's exposure at 30 June 2025 to the impact of movements in commodity prices upon provisionally invoiced sales and purchases volumes was predominately around copper. The Group had 419 thousand tonnes of copper exposure as at 30 June 2025 (2024: 428 thousand tonnes) that was provisionally priced. The final price of these sales and purchases volumes will be determined during the first half of FY2026. A 10 per cent change in the price of copper realised on the provisionally priced sales, with all other factors held constant, would increase or decrease profit after taxation by US$268 million (2024: US$299 million). The relationship between commodity prices and foreign currencies is complex and movements in foreign exchange rates can impact commodity prices. Liquidity risk Refer to note 21 'Net debt' for details on the Group's liquidity risk. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily from customer receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, other short-term investments, interest rate and currency derivative contracts and other financial instruments. Refer to note 8 'Trade and other receivables' and note 21 'Net debt' for details on the Group credit risk. 160 BHP Annual Report 2025

24.2 Recognition and measurement All financial assets and liabilities, other than derivatives and trade receivables, are initially recognised at the fair value of consideration paid or received, net of transaction costs as appropriate. Financial assets are initially recognised on their trade date. Financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value or amortised cost based on: – the Group's purpose, or business model, for holding the financial asset – whether the financial asset's contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest The resulting Financial Statements classifications of financial assets can be summarised as follows: Contractual cash flows Business model Category Solely principal and interest Hold in order to collect contractual cash flows Amortised cost Solely principal and interest Hold in order to collect contractual cash flows and sell Fair value through other comprehensive income Solely principal and interest Hold in order to sell Fair value through profit or loss Other Any of those mentioned above Fair value through profit or loss Solely principal and interest refers to the Group receiving returns only for the time value of money and the credit risk of the counterparty for financial assets held. The main exceptions for the Group are provisionally priced receivables and derivatives which are measured at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9. The Group has the intention of collecting payment directly from its customers in most cases, however the Group also participates in receivables financing programs in respect of selected customers. Receivables in these portfolios which are classified as 'hold in order to sell', are provisionally priced receivables and are therefore held at fair value through profit or loss prior to sale to the financial institution. With the exception of derivative contracts and provisionally priced trade payables which are carried at fair value through profit or loss, the Group's financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost. The Group may in addition elect to designate certain financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or to apply hedge accounting where they are not mandatorily held at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value measurement The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value is principally calculated based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for these financial assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as unquoted prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Where no price information is available from a quoted market source, alternative market mechanisms or recent comparable transactions, fair value is estimated based on the Group's views on relevant future prices, net of valuation allowances to accommodate liquidity, modelling and other risks implicit in such estimates. The inputs used in fair value calculations are determined by the relevant segment or function. The functions support the assets and operate under a defined set of accountabilities authorised by the Executive Leadership Team. Movements in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities may be recognised through the income statement or in other comprehensive income according to the designation of the underlying instrument. For financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value, the Group uses the following to categorise the inputs to the valuation method used based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: IFRS 13 Fair value hierarchy Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Valuation inputs Based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets and liabilities. Based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as unquoted prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Based on inputs not observable in the market using appropriate valuation models, including discounted cash flow modelling.

In the case of US$525 million (2024: US$532 million) of fixed rate debt not swapped to floating rate, the fair value at 30 June 2025 was US$541 million (2024: US$538 million). The fair value is determined using a method that can be categorised as Level 2 and uses inputs based on benchmark interest rates, alternative market mechanisms or recent comparable transactions. For financial instruments that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the fair value hierarchy by reassessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between categories during the period. Offsetting financial assets and liabilities The Group enters into money market deposits and derivative transactions under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master netting agreements that do not meet the offsetting criteria in IAS 32/AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation', but allow for the related amounts to be setoff in certain circumstances. The amounts set out as cross currency and interest rate swaps in the table above represent the derivative financial assets and liabilities of the Group that may be subject to the above arrangements and are presented on a gross basis. 162 BHP Annual Report 2025

24.4 Derivatives and hedge accounting The Group uses derivatives to hedge its exposure to certain market risks and may elect to apply hedge accounting. Hedge accounting Derivatives are included within financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Where hedge accounting is applied, at the start of the transaction, the Group documents the type of hedge, the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged items and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The documentation also demonstrates that the hedge is expected to be effective. The Group applies the following types of hedge accounting to its derivatives hedging the interest rate and currency risks of its notes and debentures: – Fair value hedges – the fair value gain or loss on interest rate and cross currency swaps relating to interest rate risk, together with the change in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to interest rate risk are recognised immediately in the income statement. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the fair value adjustment on the note or debenture is amortised to the income statement over the period to maturity using a recalculated effective interest rate. – Cash flow hedges – changes in the fair value of cross currency interest rate swaps which hedge foreign currency cash flows on the notes and debentures are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. To the extent a hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised immediately in the income statement. When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated or exercised, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is amortised to the income statement over the period to the hedged item's maturity. When hedged, the Group hedges the full notional value of notes or debentures. However, certain components of the fair value of derivatives are not permitted under IFRS 9 to be included in the hedge accounting above. Certain costs of hedging are permitted to be recognised in other comprehensive income. Any change in the fair value of a derivative that does not qualify for hedge accounting, or is ineffective in hedging the designated risk due to contractual differences between the hedged item and hedging instrument, is recognised immediately in the income statement. The table below shows the carrying amounts of the Group's notes and debentures by currency and the derivatives which hedge them: – The carrying amount of the notes and debentures includes foreign exchange remeasurement to period-end rates and fair value adjustments when included in a fair value hedge. – The breakdown of the hedging derivatives includes remeasurement of foreign currency notional values at period-end rates, fair value movements due to interest rate risk, foreign currency cash flows designated into cash flow hedges, costs of hedging recognised in other comprehensive income, ineffectiveness recognised in the income statement and accruals or prepayments. – The hedged value of notes and debentures includes their carrying amounts adjusted for the offsetting derivative fair value movements due to foreign currency and interest rate risk remeasurement.

Some awards are eligible to receive a Dividend Equivalent Payment (DEP) which is a paid as either a cash payment, or the equivalent value awarded in shares, equal to the dividend amount that would have been earned on the underlying shares awarded. DEP is paid/allocated once the underlying shares are allocated or transferred to plan participants. Awards under the plans do not confer any rights to participate in a share issue; however, there is discretion under each of the plans to adjust the awards in response to a variation in the share capital of BHP Group Limited. The table below provides a description of each of the plans. Plan CDP LTIP and MAP Shareplus Type Short and long term incentive Long term incentive All-employee share purchase plan Overview The CDP is an annual cash and equity?based incentive plan for Executive KMP and members of the Executive Leadership Team who are not Executive KMP. CDP awards are split into three equal parts – a cash component paid annually, and two awards of deferred rights to receive BHP Group Limited shares subject to service conditions and a holistic review of performance. The two awards of deferred rights are the equivalent value of the CDP cash award, vesting between two and five years respectively. Awards of deferred rights may also be granted to members of the Executive Leadership Team as additional retention awards with vesting periods of up to five years. The LTIP is a long term incentive plan for Executive KMP and members of the Executive Leadership Team, who are not Executive KMP. Awards are granted annually and delivered in performance rights, which are conditional rights to receive BHP shares. Awards vest after five years, subject to service and performance conditions. The MAP is a long term incentive plan for BHP senior management who are not Executive KMP. The number of share rights awarded is determined by a participant's role and grade and generally vest in three years. Awards of share rights may also be granted to members of the Executive Leadership Team as additional retention awards with vesting periods of between one and five years. Employees may contribute up to US$5,000 to acquire shares in any plan year. On the third anniversary of the start of a plan year, the Group will match the number of acquired shares still held by the participant. Vesting conditions Service conditions only for the two?year award. Vesting of the four-year awards are subject to service and individual performance conditions. Vesting of the five-year awards are subject to a service condition and underpinned by a holistic review of performance encompassing safety and sustainability including climate, financial, corporate governance and conduct at the end of the five-year period. LTIP: Service and performance conditions. From FY2023 BHP's performance is assessed over the five-year period against the relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of two comparator groups – Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) market indices, the MSCI World Metals and Mining Index ('Sector Group TSR') and the MSCI World Index ('World TSR'). The Sector Group TSR determines the vesting of 67 per cent of the awards, while performance relative to the World TSR determines the vesting of 33 per cent of the awards. For awards granted prior to FY2023, TSR performance relative to a bespoke sector peer group and the MSCI World Index determines the vesting of 67 per cent and 33 per cent of the award, respectively. 25 per cent of the award will vest where BHP's TSR is equal to the median TSR of the relevant comparator group(s), as measured over the five-year performance period. Where TSR is below the median, awards will not vest. Vesting occurs on a sliding scale when BHP's TSR is between the median TSR of the relevant comparator group(s) up to a nominated level of TSR outperformance over the relevant comparator group(s), as determined by the Committee, above which 100 per cent of the award will vest. Vesting of LTIP awards is underpinned by a holistic performance review of safety, sustainability, financials, corporate governance and conduct at the end of the five-year performance period. MAP: Service conditions only. Service conditions only. Vesting period Between 2 and 5 years LTIP – 5 years MAP – 1 to 5 years 3 years Dividend Equivalent Payment Yes LTIP – Yes MAP – Varies No Exercise period None None None 1. For LTIP awards granted prior to unification and where the five-year performance period ends after unification, the TSR at the start of the performance period is based on the weighted average of the TSRs of BHP Group Limited and BHP Group Plc and the TSR at the end of the performance period is based on the TSR of BHP Group Limited.

Includes MAP awards granted on 4 October 2024 and 14 April 2025. Recognition and measurement The fair value at grant date of equity-settled share awards is charged to the income statement over the period for which the benefits of employee services are expected to be derived. The fair values of awards granted were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology and Black-Scholes option pricing technique and consider the following factors: – exercise price – expected life of the award – current market price of the underlying shares – expected volatility using an analysis of historic volatility over different rolling periods. For the LTIP, it is calculated for all sector comparators and the published MSCI World Index – expected dividends – risk-free interest rate, which is an applicable government bond rate – market-based performance hurdles – non-vesting conditions Where awards are forfeited because non-market-based vesting conditions are not satisfied, the expense previously recognised is proportionately reversed. The tax effect of awards granted is recognised in income tax expense, except to the extent that the total tax deductions are expected to exceed the cumulative remuneration expense. In this situation, the excess of the associated current or deferred tax is recognised in equity and forms part of the employee share awards reserve. The fair value of awards as presented in the tables above represents the fair value at grant date. In respect of employee share awards, the Group utilises the BHP Group Limited Employee Equity Trust. The trustee of this trust is an independent company, resident in Jersey. The trust uses funds provided by the Group to acquire ordinary shares to enable awards to be made or satisfied. The ordinary shares may be acquired by purchase in the market or by subscription at not less than nominal value. 166 BHP Annual Report 2025

1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued 27 Employee benefits, restructuring and post-retirement employee benefits provisions continued Provision Description Employee benefits Liabilities for benefits accruing to employees up until the reporting date in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any accumulating sick leave are recognised in the period the related service is rendered. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for other long-term employee benefits, including long service leave, are measured as the present value of estimated future payments for the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Liabilities that are not expected to be settled within 12 months are discounted at the reporting date using market yields of high-quality corporate bonds or government bonds for countries where there is no deep market for corporate bonds. The rates used reflect the terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. In relation to industry-based long service leave funds, the Group's liability, including obligations for funding shortfalls, is determined after deducting the fair value of dedicated assets of such funds. Liabilities for short and long-term employee benefits (other than unpaid wages and salaries) are disclosed within employee benefits. Other liabilities for unpaid wages and salaries related to the current period are recognised in other creditors. Restructuring Restructuring provisions are recognised when: – the Group has developed a detailed formal plan identifying the business or part of the business concerned, the location and approximate number of employees affected, a detailed estimate of the associated costs, and an appropriate timeline – the restructuring has either commenced or been publicly announced and can no longer be withdrawn Payments that are not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash payments expected to be made by the Group. Post-retirement employee benefits Defined contribution pension schemes and multi-employer pension schemes For defined contribution schemes or schemes operated on an industry-wide basis where it is not possible to identify assets attributable to the participation by the Group's employees, the pension charge is calculated on the basis of contributions payable. The Group contributed US$395 million during the financial year (2024: US$368 million; 2023: US$358 million) to defined contribution plans and multi-employer defined contribution plans. These contributions are expensed as incurred. Defined benefit pension and post-retirement medical schemes The Group operates or participates in a number of defined benefit pension schemes throughout the world, all of which are closed to new entrants. The funding of the schemes complies with local regulations. The assets of the schemes are generally held separately from those of the Group and are administered by trustees or management boards. The Group also operates a number of unfunded post-retirement medical schemes in the United States, Canada and Europe. For defined benefit schemes, an asset or liability is recognised in the balance sheet based at the present value of defined benefit obligations less, where funded, the fair value of plan assets, except that any such asset cannot exceed the present value of expected refunds from and reductions in future contributions to the plan. Full actuarial valuations are prepared by local actuaries for all schemes, using discount rates based on market yields at the reporting date on high-quality corporate bonds or by reference to national government bonds if high-quality corporate bonds are not available. Where funded, scheme assets are invested in a diversified range of asset classes, predominantly comprising bonds and equities. 168 BHP Annual Report 2025

As the Group has the ability to direct the relevant activities at Minera Escondida Ltda, it has control over the entity. The assessment of the most relevant activity in this contractual arrangement is subject to judgement. The Group establishes the mine plan and the operating budget and has the ability to appoint the key management personnel, demonstrating that the Group has the existing rights to direct the relevant activities of Minera Escondida Ltda. 2. The Group has an effective interest of 92.5 per cent in BHP Iron Ore (Jimblebar) Pty Ltd; however, by virtue of the shareholder agreement with ITOCHU Iron Ore Australia Pty Ltd and Mitsui & Co. Iron Ore Exploration & Mining Pty Ltd, the Groups interest in the Jimblebar mining operation is 85 per cent, which is consistent with the other respective contractual arrangements at Western Australia Iron Ore. 3.

Instead, because the Group has the power to participate in the financial and operating policies of the investee, this investment is accounted for as an associate. Samarco is jointly owned by BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda (BHP Brasil) and Vale S.A. (Vale). BHP Brasil and Vale do not have offtake arrangements with Samarco. Instead, Samarco sells all of its product directly to market. Accordingly, as the Samarco entity has the rights to the assets and obligations to the liabilities relating to the joint arrangement and not its owners, this investment is accounted for as a joint venture. On the 15 January 2025, BHP Investments Canada Inc. (BHP Canada) and Lundin Mining Corporation (Lundin Mining) completed the acquisition of Filo Corp., a Toronto Stock Exchange listed company. Filo Corp. owns 100% of the Filo del Sol (FDS) copper deposit. Prior to completion, Lundin Mining owned 100% of the Josemaria copper deposit located in the Vicuna district of Argentina and Chile. At completion, BHP Canada acquired a 50% interest in the Josemaria copper deposit from Lundin Mining. BHP Canada and Lundin Mining have formed the Canadian based company, Vicuna Corp. and contributed their respective 50% interests in Filo Corp. and the Josemaria copper deposit. BHP Canada and Lundin Mining each own 50% of Vicuna Corp and share joint control. In managements judgement, and considering the offtake terms, BHP Canada and Lundin Mining do not have the rights to, or the obligation for, substantially all the output of the arrangement. Accordingly, as the Vicuna entity has the rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of this arrangement and not its owners, this investment is accounted for as a joint venture.

170 BHP Annual Report 2025 1 Consolidated Financial Statements continued 29 Investments accounted for using the equity method continued Key judgements and estimates Judgements: Determining whether joint arrangements structured through a separate vehicle are classified as joint ventures or joint operations can involve significant judgement. The classification depends on an assessment of the venturers rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangement in the normal course of business. When making the assessment, management has regard to the legal form of the separate vehicle, the terms of the arrangement and other relevant facts and circumstances. Where venturers have the rights to, and obligations for, substantially all of the output of the arrangement, this is indicative of a joint operation as the venturers have rights to substantially all of the economic benefits of the assets and provide cash flows that are used to settle the liabilities of the arrangement. The Group is restricted in its ability to make dividend payments from its investments in associates and joint ventures as any such payments require the approval of all investors in the associates and joint ventures.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 173 Unrecognised items and uncertain events 32 Contingent liabilities 2025 2024 US$M US$M Associates and joint ventures1 1,664 1,492 Subsidiaries and joint operations1 911 859 Total 2,575 2,351 1. There are a number of matters, for which it is not possible at this time to provide a range of possible outcomes or a reliable estimate of potential future exposures, and for which no amounts have been included in the table above. A contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. A contingent liability may also be a present obligation arising from past events but is not recognised on the basis that an outflow of economic resources to settle the obligation is not viewed as probable, or the amount of the obligation cannot be reliably measured. When the Group has a present obligation, an outflow of economic resources is assessed as probable and the Group can reliably measure the obligation, a provision is recognised. The Group has entered into various counter-indemnities of bank and performance guarantees related to its own future performance, which are in the normal course of business. The likelihood of these guarantees being called upon is considered remote. The Group presently has tax matters, litigation and other claims, for which the timing of resolution and potential economic outflow are uncertain. Obligations assessed as having probable future economic outflows capable of reliable measurement are provided at reporting date and matters assessed as having possible future economic outflows capable of reliable measurement are included in the total amount of contingent liabilities above. Individually significant matters, including narrative on potential future exposures incapable of reliable measurement, are disclosed below, to the extent that disclosure does not prejudice the Group. Uncertain tax and The Group is subject to a range of taxes and royalties across many jurisdictions, the application of which is uncertain in some royalty matters regards. Changes in tax law, changes in interpretation of tax law, periodic challenges and disagreements with tax authorities, and legal proceedings result in uncertainty of the outcome of the application of taxes and royalties to the Groups business. To the extent uncertain tax and royalty matters give rise to a contingent liability, an estimate of the potential liability is included within the table above, where it is capable of reliable measurement. Samarco contingent The table above includes contingent liabilities related to the Groups equity accounted investment in Samarco to the extent they are liabilities capable of reliable measurement. Details of contingent liabilities related to Samarco are disclosed in note 4 Significant events Samarco dam failure. Divestments Where the Group divests or demerges entities, it is generally agreed to provide certain indemnities to the acquiring or demerged and demergers entity. Such indemnities include those provided as part of the demerger of South32 Ltd in May 2015, divestment of Groups Onshore US assets in September 2018 and October 2018, divestment of BMC in May 2022 and the merger of the Groups Petroleum business with Woodside in June 2022. No material claims have been made pursuant to these indemnities as at 30 June 2025. 33 Subsequent events On 15 August 2025, the Group entered into a binding agreement for the divestment of the Carajas assets in Brazil to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreX Holding for total consideration of up to US$465 million. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions (including regulatory approvals), the transaction is expected to complete in early calendar year 2026. The Group does not expect a material income statement impact as a result of the divestment in FY2026. Other than the matters outlined above or elsewhere in the Financial Statements, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations, results of operations or state of affairs of the Group in subsequent accounting periods.

The standard also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified roles of the primary financial statements and the notes.

Nature-dependent Electricity _ IFRS 9/AASB 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7/AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures amendments Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, effective from 1 January 2026, aim to improve reporting of nature-dependent electricity contracts (such as power purchase agreements) by clarifying the own-use exemption and hedge accounting requirements for such arrangements, as well as introducing additional disclosure requirements. Management is currently assessing the impact of the amendments and while no material impact has been identified to date, future impacts may arise as the Group enters into new or amends existing arrangements. A number of other accounting standards and interpretations have been issued and will be applicable in future periods. While these remain subject to ongoing assessment, no significant impacts have been identified to date. These pronouncements have not been applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2025 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and b. Complying with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards (ASAs) and International Standards on Auditing issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report.

These threats and opportunities include both transition risks and physical risks arising from climate change and the transition to a low carbon economy (climate change). Our audit, with the assistance of our climate change specialists, considered the climate-related threats and opportunities that have the potential to materially impact the basis of preparation, including the key judgements and estimates exercised by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The Group has incorporated its current climate change strategy, including Board approved commitments and actions in the basis of preparation of the financial report, reflecting the Groups best estimate of the potential impact to the financial statements as at 30 June 2025. The impacts of climate change are most material to the judgements and estimates involved in the assessment of the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and the determination of closure and rehabilitation provisions. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report, including in relation to these matters.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 203 5 Major projects We continue to make progress at Jansen with Jansen Stage 1 (JS1) now 68 per cent complete. We estimate capital expenditure for JS1 to increase from US$5.7 billion to be in the range of US$7.0 billion to US$7.4 billion (including contingencies) and first production to revert to the original schedule of mid-CY2027. The estimated cost increase is driven by inflationary and real cost escalation pressures, design development and scope changes, and our current assessment of lower productivity outcomes over the construction period. We expect to update the market on JS1s timing and optimised capital expenditure estimate in the second half of FY2026. In FY2026, underground and surface construction works will continue, including structural, mechanical and electrical activities for the dry and wet mill areas. Jansen Stage 2 (JS2) is 11 per cent complete. We have decided to extend the execution of JS2 by two years, shifting first production from FY2029 to FY2031, as part of our regular review of capex sequencing under the Capital Allocation Framework. JS2s capital expenditure remains under review and we expect to update the market on JS2s optimised capital expenditure estimate in the second half of FY2026.

Contents Overview Operating and Financial Review Governance Financial Statements Additional Information 219 Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Renova Foundation's governance body ceased on signing of the Settlement Agreement and the Renova Foundation's Programs will be completed or transferred to Samarco or to the Federal or State Governments of Brazil within 12 months of signing of the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement did not resolve all claims related to the Samarco dam failure. For instance, the Settlement Agreement did not resolve the Australian class action complaint, UK group action complaint, the group action claim brought against certain Vale and Samarco entities in the Netherlands, criminal charges against the Companies and certain individuals, certain CPAs commenced by private associations, including the CPAs concerning the use of Tanfloc for water treatment, trailing litigation from individuals, Indigenous peoples and Traditional communities and businesses (among others), and future or unknown claims, which may arise from new information or damages in connection with the dam failure, such as potential claims alleging health impacts to individuals. The Settlement Agreement and application thereof has been the subject of claims that seek to, among other things, change the eligibility parameters of the Settlement Agreement. The Companies are defending these claims. In addition, actions for alleged damages, fees and/or expenses related to claims concerning the Samarco dam failure have been, and may in the future be, brought against the Group. The potential liabilities resulting from current and future claims, lawsuits, proceedings, enforcement actions and other obligations relating to the Samarco dam failure not resolved by the Settlement Agreement, together with the potential cost of implementing remedies sought in the various proceedings, cannot be reliably estimated with certainty at this time and there is a risk that outcomes may be materially higher or lower than amounts reflected in BHP Brasil's provision and contingencies for the Samarco dam failure. For more information on BHP Brasil's provision and contingencies for the Samarco dam failure refer to Financial Statements note 4 'Significant events – Samarco dam failure' Civil public actions commenced by associations concerning the use of Tanfloc for water treatment On 17 November 2023, the Federal Court dismissed the lawsuit filed by four associations due to procedural reasons. The judgement is final and unappealable. In July 2024, two further associations filed another lawsuit against the Companies and others, including the States of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, the Federal Government and the Water Treatment Companies, who were all also defendants in the first lawsuit. This second lawsuit was also dismissed due to procedural reasons on 12 November 2024 and the associations have appealed this judgement. In both lawsuits the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants carried out a clandestine study on the citizens of the locations affected by the Samarco dam failure where Tanfloc (a tannin-based flocculant/coagulant) was used in the water treatment process. The plaintiffs claim that this product put the population at risk due to its alleged experimental qualities and the dosage applied. The plaintiffs presented largely similar pleas e.g. material damages, moral damages. Indigenous communities – Civil public action for partial nullity of agreements The Companies are involved in a number of proceedings related to claims involving Indigenous communities. In February 2024, the Federal Prosecutor's Office filed a collective lawsuit against the Companies, alleging that the settlement agreements entered into between Renova Foundation and the Indigenous communities of Tupiniquim Guarani, Mboapy Pindó and Comboios contain nullities regarding the release of monthly Emergency Subsistence Aid (ASE), and requested an injunction ordering the Companies to continue to pay ASE to the Indigenous peoples of the Tupiniquim, Comboios and Caieiras Velha II, in the Indigenous Lands of Aracruz, State of Espírito Santo in Brazil, following certain new rules, including an increase in the monthly payment amount. On 4 March 2024, the Federal Court granted the Federal Prosecutor's request for a preliminary injunction, which was later overturned in April 2024. On 31 October 2024, the Federal Court granted the Federal Prosecutor's Office's request to nullify the clauses in the agreements with the Tupiniquim Guarani, Comboios and Mboapy Pindó communities regarding releases of ASE, but suspended the terms of its own rule until the Companies' appeal against the injunction relief previously granted was ruled on, acknowledging that the Settlement Agreement had provisions concerning the Indigenous communities. On 27 March 2025, the Companies appealed the decision. A decision on the appeal is pending. Following the Settlement Agreement, the Companies filed a request for the suspension of the lawsuit. Other civil proceedings in Brazil As noted, BHP Brasil is among the companies named as a defendant in a number of legal proceedings initiated by individuals, non-governmental organisations, corporations and governmental entities in Brazilian Federal and State courts following the Samarco dam failure. The other defendants include Vale, Samarco and Renova Foundation. The lawsuits include claims for compensation, environmental reparation and violations of Brazilian environmental and other laws, among other matters. The lawsuits seek various remedies, including reparation costs, compensation to injured individuals and families of the deceased, recovery of personal and property losses, moral damages and injunctive relief. Certain of these legal proceedings are outside the scope of the Settlement Agreement. In addition, government inquiries, studies and investigations relating to the Samarco dam failure and actions taken in response to it have been commenced by numerous agencies and individuals of the Brazilian Government and may still be ongoing. Additional legal proceedings and government investigations relating to the Samarco dam failure or responses to the dam failure could be brought against BHP Brasil and other Group entities in Brazil or other jurisdictions. The outcomes of these claims, investigations and proceedings remain uncertain and continue to be disclosed as contingent liabilities. For more information on the Samarco dam failure refer to OFR 10 As of 30 June 2025, Samarco had been named as a defendant in more than 88,000 small claims for moral damages in which people argue their public water service was interrupted for between five and 10 days, of which approximately 29,000 claims are still active. BHP Brasil is a co-defendant in more than approximately 25,400 of these cases. The Settlement Agreement does not resolve existing claims by individuals, however it provided for an indemnification proposal of R$13,018 per person to individuals who have unresolved lawsuits in connection with water damage claims. As of 30 June 2025, Samarco has reached settlement in more than 1,100 individual cases, including 350 cases in which BHP Brasil is a co-defendant. Alternatively, the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure provides that repetitive claims can be settled through a proceeding known as the Resolution of Repetitive Demands Procedure (IRDR). Under the IRDR, a court will hear a 'pilot case' representative of such recurring legal matters and the judgement in that decision will set a precedent for the resolution of similar cases in that jurisdiction. An IRDR has been established in the State of Minas Gerais and the Court in the pilot case has ruled that the mandatory parameter for resolution of claims will be the payment of R$2,000 (approximately US$3361) per individual claim for moral damages due to the suspension of public water supply. Appeals before higher courts were filed. On 21 May 2024, the Superior Court of Justice granted the State Prosecutor of Minas Gerais request to declare null the IRDR due to the alleged failure to satisfy the procedural requirements necessary for its formal admissibility. The decision was challenged before the Superior Court of Justice and a decision on the matter is pending. 1. Based on the exchange rate as at 30 June 2025.

19 August 2025 Financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025 Record operational performance and capital discipline delivers resilient returns and growth _FY25 was another strong year for BHP, marked by record production, continued sector-leading margins and disciplined capital allocation. Safety remains our highest priority, and we achieved year-on-year improvements across key metrics. Against a backdrop of global uncertainty this strong performance has led to robust financial outcomes and reflects the resilience of BHPs business and strategy. We met full-year production guidance across all assets, and set new records in copper and iron ore. Copper production exceeded 2 Mt for the first time, up 28% over the past three years. We maintained our position as the worlds lowest-cost major iron ore producer at WAIO where we delivered 290 Mt _ a new production record. Underlying EBITDA was US$26 bn with a 53% margin, and underlying attributable profit was US$10.2 bn. This strong performance allowed us to determine a final dividend of 60 US cents per share. We also continue to invest in growth. In each of the next two years we expect to spend US$11 bn in capital and exploration, reducing to US$10 bn on average each year between FY28 and FY30. The Jansen project in Canada is estimated to deliver first potash production by mid-2027. We are optimising our growth program at Escondida in Chile, Copper South Australia has the potential to double production through phased expansions and the Vicuna project in Argentina is advancing towards a multi-decade copper opportunity. At WAIO, over the medium term we are targeting sustained production of greater than 305 Mtpa. We made meaningful progress on sustainability and remain on track to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions by at least 30% from FY20 levels by FY30. Recently we signed charter contracts for two ammonia dual-fuelled bulk carriers _ to progress GHG emissions intensity reduction of our shipping _ and partnered with Aurizon in South Australia to reduce truck movements and related emissions. Indigenous procurement spend rose 40% over the past year, and we launched plans for a 158,000-hectare conservation project at Copper South Australia. In April we achieved gender balance within our global employee base. The global economic outlook is mixed. Growth is expected to ease to 3% or slightly below in the near-term amid shifting trade policies, yet demand for commodities remains strong, particularly in China and India. Chinese copper demand outperformed in FY25, while iron ore demand was resilient, driven by strong infrastructure investment and manufacturing activity in China. Steelmaking coal prices have softened due to oversupply, though policy shifts in China and new blast furnace capacity in Asia are expected to support the market. Potash markets are expected to continue to benefit from a growing and wealthier population and the need for more sustainable agriculture. We remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of steelmaking materials, copper and fertilisers, which are critical to global growth, urbanisation and the energy transition. Backed by a diversified portfolio of large, long-life assets, disciplined low-cost operations and a strong balance sheet, BHP is well-positioned to deliver enduring value through the cycle.Mike Henry, BHP Chief Executive Officer Safety Operational excellence Improvement in key metrics Record copper and iron ore production Most importantly, in FY25, no one lost their life on the job at BHP.

BHP \| Financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025 Economic outlookxiv BHPs external operating environment in FY25 was shaped by complex and evolving global developments. Policy uncertainty, particularly around tariffs, fiscal policy, monetary easing, and industrial policy, has been elevated and continues to influence investment and trade flows. Despite these dynamics, commodity demand remained resilient. Copper prices were volatile but rising towards the end of the period. Steel raw material prices ended the year below where they began, though iron ore has since rebounded to near its FY25 average. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global growth to moderate to 3% in CY25, an upward revision from its April estimate of 2.8%, albeit slower than the CY24 outcome of 3.3% . This reflects ongoing trade policy shifts, though we anticipate that fiscal and monetary policy support will provide an important offset to these headwinds, helping to cushion the impact on commodity demand. Chinas economic growth exceeded expectations in H1 CY25, recording 5.3% year-on-year growth. This strength was supported by fiscal stimulus and robust export activity ahead of the implementation of US tariffs. While some moderation is expected in the second half as the temporary boost from 'pulled-forward' exports fades and tariffs continue to take effect, policy support is likely to remain a key stabiliser. We expect the outlook to remain constructive as China continues to rebalance its economy and strengthen domestic demand. India will likely remain the fastest-growing major economy, driven by sustained public investment, improving monetary conditions, and resilient service sector activity. Its relatively low trade exposure compared to regional peers, along with the governments capacity to deliver targeted support, positions it to weather the commodity demand impact of recent tariff developments. Developed economies will need to navigate rising trade barriers and policy uncertainty, although supportive fiscal and monetary policy will help mitigate downside risks. Commodity demand Demand for most of our commodities was stronger than expected in H1 CY25. Chinese policymakers introduced a range of supportive measures over the last year that have underpinned steel and metals-related manufacturing activity. Chinese grid investment, automotive production, and machinery output all recorded YoY growth exceeding 10% in H1 CY25. Chinas housing sales also showed some signs of stabilisation in the most populous cities, and the ongoing decline in total housing starts and completions slowed in H1 CY25 compared with CY24. Consequently, Chinese steel end-use demand was resilient, while copper was stronger than expected over the period, supported by robust infrastructure investment and manufacturing activity. Manufacturing exports to emerging economies remained solid and offset weaker direct exports to the United States. Indian commodity demand continues to grow strongly, though competing imports from China narrowed margins for the steel industry over the last year. We expect the countrys economic growth to remain resilient over the next two years, supported by strong structural fundamentals and long-term development momentum. Over the long term, population growth, urbanisation, rising living standards, and the infrastructure required for digitalisation and decarbonisation are all expected to drive demand for steel, non-ferrous metals and fertilisers. We also believe that Chinas economic transition is expected to result in an increase in demand for copper and potash. For the review and outlook relating to our individual commodities please refer to the relevant sections below. Costs and inflation Inflationary pressures across our cost base have largely normalised, although pockets of pressure persist in some areas, and overall cost levels remain materially higher than pre-pandemic benchmarks. In Australia, headline consumer inflation remained within the Reserve Banks 2 _ 3% target range over FY25. Chile was an exception, where electricity price adjustments temporarily lifted inflation in FY25, though it has been easing since January. While consumer inflation has fallen to close to 2% in Canada, price growth for industrial construction works has been significantly stronger, increasing by over 10% in the past two years in Saskatoon. This has placed upwards pressure on costs for Jansen. Labour market conditions have also moderated, with varying regional dynamics. In Australia, wage growth has broadly returned to long-term average levels. However, recent regulatory changes have introduced uncertainty into workforce planning, with implications for labour costs and Australias international competitiveness. In Chile, the mining labour market has remained strong, with employment reaching record highs during FY25 while wage growth is broadly consistent with historical trends. Movements in raw material input costs have been mixed. Ammonia and diesel prices have generally trended lower, with diesel reflecting expectations of global oversupply, albeit with some geopolitical-induced volatility at the end of FY25. In contrast, prices for sulphuric acid and natural rubber have been more variable, averaging higher in FY25 compared to FY24. Overall, the cost of mining production is higher than it was at the beginning of the decade. This implies that price support is also higher, and low-cost operators are well positioned to capture relatively stronger margins in certain commodities. 6

Declining copper inventories elsewhere helped lift LME copper prices above US$10,000/t (US$4.54/lb) at the end of FY25. Average Average realised price prices for H2 FY25 were around US$9,400/t (US4.28/lb), up against the prior half, as well as year-on-year. In July 2025, the US announced tariffs would exclude copper US$4.25/lb 7% cathode, largely closing the COMEX-LME differential. Forward curves suggest the FY24 US$3.98/lb market still sees a risk of future tariffs, which could continue to influence trade flows. Chinese copper demand was stronger than expected during FY25, with growth in Underlying EBITDA power infrastructure investment and policy support for domestic consumer durables supplemented by a sharp rise in exports of manufactured goods. Chinese demand in US$12.3 bn 44% FY26 is expected to remain strong, though growth will decelerate off the current FY24 US$8.6 bn high base. 45% contribution to the Groups We maintain our expectation for the copper market to be broadly balanced in the Underlying EBITDA coming year. Mine supply has seen some challenges in recent months, with growth 59% Underlying EBITDA margin expectations downgraded in several regions. Trade barriers could also hinder the movement of copper scrap, which may lead to greater demand for primary supply. In the late 2020s, we expect new, as-yet uncommitted, mine supply to be required as Underlying ROCE demand continues to grow and existing supply peaks. The world is expected to need 17% around 10 Mt of new annual mine supply over the next 10 years to meet growing FY24 13% demand. In the longer run, copper fundamentals remain attractive. Demand is expected to grow from ~33 Mt today to >50 Mt by 2050, with the key drivers being Traditional Capital and exploration expenditure economic growth (home building, electrical equipment and household appliances), US$4.5 bn Energy Transition (renewables and electric vehicles) and Digital (Artificial Intelligence and Data Centres). We anticipate that the cost curve for the mines FY24 US$3.9 bn needed to meet this demand is likely to steepen as both operational and development challenges progressively increase. For future mine supply to be FY26e ~US$5.1 bn incentivised we believe prices still need to rise from levels seen in H2 FY25. Segment outlook In FY25, BHPs total copper production increased for a third consecutive year to a record 2,017 kt, 28% higher than in FY22,xv driven by strong performances across all operated copper assets. This drove a 44% increase in our total copper Underlying EBITDA to US$12.3 bn and increased coppers contribution to the Groups Underlying EBITDA to 45% (FY24: 29%). Group copper production for FY26 is expected to remain strong at between 1,800 kt and 2,000 kt on a consolidated basis. As we look ahead to the 2030s, we have a number of projects in execution and under study that we estimate could deliver ~2 Mtpa of attributable copper production during the decade.xvi These include: 7

BHP \| Financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025 ? In Chile, we have a strong pipeline of organic growth options with attractive returns across our Escondida and Pampa Norte assets, which we expect will enable copper production in Chile to average ~1.4 Mtpa through the 2030s. Since the Chilean copper site tour in November 2024, we have further optimised and sequenced various elements of our growth program at Escondida that we estimate will generate an incremental ~400 kt of cumulative production over FY27 to FY31, weighted to the later years. ? In South Australia, we are assessing the pathway to deliver >500 ktpa of copper production (>700 ktpa CuEq), and a strategy to deliver up to 650 ktpa copper production from the 100%-owned Copper SA.xvii During FY25, we have further optimised the sequence of this growth program. ? In Peru, we hold a 33.75% share in Antamina, a top 10 global copper producer.xviii Antamina is expected to produce between 120 _ 140 kt in FY26, and in FY24 it received environmental approval to continue mining to 2036 (from 2028). ? BHP Canada and Lundin Mining have formed the joint venture company, Vicuna, to hold the combined Josemaria and Filo del Sol copper deposits located in the Vicuna district of Argentina and Chile, the latter of which is one of the largest copper deposit discoveries in the last 30 years. ? We also have a 45% interest in the Resolution Copper Project in the United States, one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the world, with the potential to become a significant copper producer in North America. BHP has entered into a binding agreement for the divestment of the Carajas assets in Brazil to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreX Holding on 15 August 2025 for a total consideration of up to US$465 m. This is structured as US$240 m received on completion and up to US$225 m as contingent payments based on a range of production and project related targets, with the potential for the contingent payments to begin as early as 2027. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions (including regulatory approvals), the transaction is expected to complete in early CY26. This transaction follows a strategic review in 2024, which concluded that the Carajas assets would benefit from owners prioritising the operations and developing the assets to their full growth potential. 8

Higher realised copper prices, which had a favourable impact of US$1.0 bn (net of price linked costs). These were partially offset by the impacts of one-off labour related costs. Overall Escondida unit cost performance was strong, delivering an 18% reduction due to the increase in production volumes, partially offset by the impact of general inflation. Asset outlook Production for FY26 is expected to be between 1,150 and 1,250 kt as concentrator feed grade for FY26 is expected to be lower at ~0.85% . Full SaL, a BHP designed leaching technology which has already been successfully deployed at Spence, delivered first production during FY25. We expect it to produce ~410 kt in copper cathodes at Escondida over a 10-year period through improved recoveries and shorter leach cycle times. Since the Chilean copper site tour in November 2024, we have identified several positive initiatives to improve the capital efficiency, production profile and value of the Escondida growth program. These include: ? Several low capital intensity productivity initiatives that can be executed immediately across the Laguna Seca concentrators. ? We also plan to extend the life of Los Colorados concentrator by ~6-12 months and, in parallel, optimise the demolition process to allow earlier access to high grade PL2 zone ore to offset the impact of this extension. These initiatives are expected to generate an incremental ~400 kt of cumulative production at Escondida over FY27 to FY31, with most of this occurring over the later years. Medium term guidance remains between 900 _ 1,000 ktpa across FY27 to FY31, with grade below 0.80% . Beyond this, timing of elements of the Laguna Seca Expansion are being considered, lowering capital investment and project execution risk. This staged execution of the overall program is expected to reduce the capital required in the FY26 to FY31 period, generating earlier free cash flow and improving returns. Our plans for a new concentrator remain core to the growth program and on track for a potential FID by CY27-28, and first ore by CY31-32. Economics for the potential new concentrator are unchanged from the Chilean copper site tour and remain attractive with an expected capital intensity of US$15 _ 21k/t copper equivalent and IRR of 13 _ 16%.xix We also continue to study various leaching technologies, with each at different stages of evaluation. 9

BHP \| Financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025 Our permitting strategy has progressed as expected and the first permit application submitted in March 2025 will enable critical early works to achieve our optimised plan. Permitting for the new concentrator is under preparation and will be submitted by the end of FY26. The overall changes and initiatives above do not materially change our total expected production aspiration over FY31 to FY40 from what we expected at the time of the Chilean copper site tour, which remains an average of ~1.4 Mtpa for Chile. However, we now expect this to be achieved with lower overall capital required.

Financial performance Underlying EBITDA increased 42% predominately due to increased sales volumes, driven in part by record production, and higher realised copper prices. Unit costs at Spence decreased by 3% due to record production volumes, partially offset by the impact of general inflation. Asset outlook Production at Spence for FY26 is expected to be between 230 and 250 kt. Production is expected to average ~235 ktpa over the next five years due to increased processing of transitional ores as we progress from the supergene to the hypogene zone. Since the Chilean copper site tour in November 2024, we have continued to advance options to expand and debottleneck the Spence concentrator to further lift throughput and recoveries. This could potentially increase copper production by 10 _ 15 ktpa and FID for these projects is expected in CY27. We also continue to advance the option for the implementation of BHP's patented Simple Approach to Leaching 2 (SaL2) technology at the sulphide leach pad, which would enable processing of transitional and hypogene ores. The ability to leach low-grade ores would allow us to prioritise higher grades at the concentrator and potentially extend life of cathode production. Cerro Colorado entered temporary care and maintenance in December 2023 and we are continuing to study the application of BHPs Full SaL leaching technology to potentially restart operations in the future. 10

(FY25 prices for by-products: gold US$2,000/oz, and uranium US$80/lb (guidance)). 2 Refer to OFR 13 _ Non-IFRS information for detailed unit cost reconciliation. Financial performance Underlying EBITDA increased 23% predominantly as a result of: ? Higher average realised prices for copper, gold and silver, which had a favourable impact of US$0.4 bn (net of price linked costs); and ? Higher sales volumes reflecting strong underlying performance, including recovery following the weather-related power outage in Q2 FY25. This was partially offset by inventory drawdowns which resulted in higher operating costs, though unit costs declined 14%. Asset outlook Production for FY26 is expected to be between 310 and 340 kt, weighted to the second half. Copper SAs performance has improved significantly over the past few years. We now consistently deliver >300 ktpa copper production (>450 ktpa copper equivalent production), supporting strong unit cost performance and increasing annual free cash flow. This operational stability provides a strong foundation to invest in the business, with growth programs now advancing at all assets. ? At Prominent Hill, the Operation Expansion (PHOX) project has progressed, with shaft sinking completed in Q4 FY25. Work to complete the hoisting infrastructure is also continuing to progress. The project is forecast to be completed in H2 FY27 for a total investment of US$0.9 bn. The Wira shaft hoisting system is expected to extend the mine life to at least 2040. ? At Carrapateena, the commissioning of Crusher 2 has supported higher productivity from the sub-level cave and we continue to invest in processing plant capacity to enable an uplift in throughput to 7 Mtpa of mined ore. The Block Cave Expansion project is progressing with underground development for an access decline below the existing sub-level cave continuing. The project is expected to extend the mine life beyond the existing sub-level cave and increase throughput up to 12 Mtpa, ramping up from FY29. ? At Olympic Dam, the Southern Mining Area Decline was approved during the year for a total investment of US$0.2 bn and has commenced construction. It is expected to unlock up to 2.5 Mtpa of additional vertical capacity and support future mine expansion options, with completion expected in FY28. At Oak Dam, exploration activity peaked at 13 active drill rigs during the period (8 now active). We are seeking government, heritage and regulatory approvals to begin execution activities on twin underground access declines. During FY25, we continued to study the potential Smelter and Refinery Expansion (SRE), including sequencing, to optimise the profile of capital spend. We expect to consider the first phase of the potential project for FID in HY28, to align with execution of the Smelter Campaign Maintenance 2027 program (SCM27). The first phase would involve a transition to a two-stage smelter configuration with 1,100 to 1,400 ktpa concentrate smelting capacity better suited to asset mineralogy, which would be expected to unlock remaining synergies from the OZL acquisition. This would be supported by production growth from Carrapateena and Olympic Dam. The second phase of the expansion would increase capacity to align with potential further growth from Oak Dam and Olympic Dam, including OD Deeps. 11

BHP \| Financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025 Iron ore Production Commodity review and outlook 263 Mt 1% Iron ore benchmark prices averaged around US$100/dmt in H2 FY25, similar to the first half. The price was supported by steady seaborne iron ore demand and relatively weak FY24 260 Mt iron ore supply from the major seaborne exporters in the March quarter. Chinese FY26e 258 _ 269 Mt demand has been resilient, benefiting from solid infrastructure investment, healthy manufacturing particularly for sectors related to the energy transition, and strong steel Average realised price (WAIO) exports. These factors offset continued weakness in the real estate sector. Iron ore demand in the rest of the world was mixed: demand from developing Asian economies US$82.13/wmt 19% continued to grow along with new blast furnace capacity, while Developed Asia and FY24 US$101.04/wmt European demand was impacted by planned blast furnace capacity retirements and maintenance in response to subdued steel demand. Underlying EBITDA Looking ahead, rising trade protectionism could weigh on global iron ore and steel demand in the near term. Seaborne supply is expected to be higher as production from US$14.4 bn 24% existing supply basins normalises, and as new capacitycomes onto the market including FY24 US$18.9 bn from Simandou. 53% contribution to the Groups Our estimate of cost support continues to sit in the US$80 _ 100/t range on a 62% Fe Underlying EBITDA CFR basis, formed by approximately 180 Mt of higher cost supply, mainly from 63% Underlying EBITDA margin Australian junior miners, Indian fines and some Chinese domestic mines. Over 60% of this supply sits above the US$90/t mark for cost support. Export volumes of price-sensitive Indian fines continued to drop significantly over H2 FY25. As the market turns Underlying ROCE (WAIO) more competitive, some additional high-cost suppliers may leave the market in the 43% coming years. FY24 61% We maintain our view that Chinas steel production is likely to maintain its plateau around the 1 Bt level until the late 2020s. However, Chinese pig iron production is expected to decline over this period with more scrap used in steelmaking. In the long Capital and exploration run, seaborne iron ore trade is likely to undergo steady diversification as demand grows expenditure (WAIO) in other developing regions. On the supply side, traditional suppliers may need to weigh US$2.7 bn future investment to sustain production in the face of grade decline and resource FY24 US$2.1 bn depletion. FY26e ~US$3.3 bn Segment outlook Over the last 6 years, WAIO has solidified its position as the lowest cost major iron ore producer globally,ii building margin resilience as steel production in China has plateaued. We plan to increase production to >305 Mtpa (100% basis) and decrease unit costs to <US$17.50/t at WAIO over the medium term. In FY25, we completed our studies into maintaining WAIOs leading position into the 2030s. We are investing in a sixth car dumper (and associated infrastructure) at Port Hedland. This investment, combined with the current projects in execution, will enable us to maintain >305 Mtpa (100% basis) production from Q4 FY28. In Brazil, Samarco is set to double production capacity following the restart and ramp up of a second concentrator, helping to support the local community through jobs, investment and taxes. 12

Financial performance Underlying EBITDA decreased 24% primarily driven by lower average realised prices for iron ore, which decreased 19% and had an unfavourable impact of US$4.3 bn (net of price linked costs). This was partially offset by record production, despite significant weather impacts, reflecting supply chain excellence. This included record volumes delivered from the Central Pilbara hub (South Flank and Mining Area C) following the completion of the ramp up of South Flank in FY24 and record shipments following the Port Debottlenecking Project (PDP1), both of which were completed on time and on budget. WAIO maintained its industry leading positionii with a C1 unit cost of US$17.29/t with the increase in costs primarily due to increased productive movement (+12%) to enhance our inventory position across the value chain. Costs were also impacted by an increase in provision for contaminated sites. Asset outlook Production for FY26 is expected to be between 284 and 296 Mt (100% basis) incorporating the planned renewal of Car Dumper 3 (CD3) in HY26 and the ongoing tie-in activities for the Rail Technology Programme (RTP1). FY26 unit costs are expected to be between US$18.25 and US$19.75/t. We have approved the commissioning of a sixth car dumper (CD6) and related infrastructure at Port Hedland for a total investment of ~US$0.9 bn.xx CD6 will create capacity to maintain production of >305 Mtpa (100% basis) from Q4 FY28 through a period of planned major car dumper renewals beginning in FY29. It will also improve our ore blending and screening capability at the port. CD6 is expected to generate attractive returns of >30%, with a payback period of less than 3 years after first ore in Q4 FY28.xxi Sustained production of >305 Mtpa (100% basis) over the medium term will be supported by increased rail operation capacity unlocked by RTP1, and the Western Ridge Crusher Project, which will replace production from the depleting orebodies around Newman (first production Q1 FY27; low capital intensity of US$38/t). Average annual sustaining capital expenditure guidance over the medium term, excluding costs associated with CD6, operational decarbonisation and automation programs, remains unchanged at ~US$6.50/t. xxii We anticipate that this will also include Ministers North (utilising the existing Yandi infrastructure), which is subject to potential FID in FY26. By leveraging the installed infrastructure, improved labour productivity, such as the transition to autonomous haulage across all sites (excluding Yandi) and the improvements from the implementation of the BHP Operating System, we expect unit costs to decrease to <US$17.50/t (unchanged from prior guidance) through the medium term. 13

Financial performance Underlying EBITDA decreased by US$1.3 bn, predominately driven by: ? Lower average realised prices, which decreased 27% and had an unfavourable impact of US$1.0 bn (net of price linked costs); and ? The divestment of Blackwater and Daunia (US$0.4 bn). These more than offset strong operational performance across the open cut mines, underpinned by improved truck productivity and our focused effort to rebuild raw coal inventory, which helped stabilise operations and lift production across the asset by 5%.ix Controllable cost performance was also solid, with FY25 unit costs finishing within the revised guidance despite significant heavy weather (a 36% year-on-year increase in rainfall) and geotechnical challenges at our underground operation. Post the divestment of Blackwater and Daunia, the asset has continued its focus on realising the benefits of a smaller operational footprint and improving labour and maintenance cost efficiency. Asset outlook Production for FY26 is expected to increase to between 18 and 20 Mt (36 and 40 Mt on a 100% basis), weighted to the second half, while unit costs are expected to decrease with guidance between US$116/t and US$128/t as we push to further improve productivity. Our focus on improving value chain stability will continue into CY27 as we continue to rebuild raw coal inventory to sustainable levels (following a 12% increase in raw coal inventory in FY25) and normalise strip ratios. Over the medium term, we plan to increase production to between 21.5 and 22.5 Mtpa (43 and 45 Mtpa on a 100% basis) and anticipate that unit costs will be <US$110/t. Q4 FY25 production performance of 10.3 Mt (100%) and unit cost performance of US$110/t provides confidence in our ability to achieve these targets. With no change to the ongoing negative impacts of extreme royalty rates, we will maintain our existing position of not investing in any further growth at BMA. We will sustain and optimise our existing operations. However, if low coal prices persist, options to pause lower margin areas of our operational footprint will be considered. 16

BHP \| Financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025 Potash Capital and exploration Commodity review and outlook expenditure Potash prices moved higher during H2 FY25 on strong demand, particularly from India US$1.6 bn and Southeast Asia, reports of maintenance at Russian and Belarusian mines, and FY24 US$1.1 bn disruptions in Laos. In FY26, we expect the potash market to come closer to balance as demand adjusts to current market conditions. FY26e ~US$1.9 bn In the medium term, potash demand is expected to continue to benefit from a rising and wealthier population and changing diets, while additional supply from traditional and emerging basins is also expected to be added to the market over this period. Longer term, we believe that potash stands to benefit from the intersection of several global megatrends: rising population, changing diets and the need for more sustainable and efficient use of arable land for agriculture. These attractive long-term demand fundamentals combined with Jansens expected position in the industry as one of the lowest cost producers once it has ramped up will cement the role of potash within BHPs portfolio over the long term. Business outlook In July we announced updates relating to the Jansen potash project. We estimate capital expenditure for Jansen Stage 1 (JS1) to increase from US$5.7 bn to be in the range of US$7.0 bn to US$7.4 bn including contingencies, and first production to revert back to the original schedule of mid-CY27. We expect to update the market on JS1s timing and optimised capital expenditure estimate in H2 FY26. We have decided to extend the execution of Jansen Stage 2 (JS2) by two years, shifting first production from FY29 to FY31, as part of our regular review of capex sequencing under the Capital Allocation Framework. JS2s capital expenditure remains under review and we expect to update the market on JS2s optimised capital expenditure estimate in H2 FY26. Jansen is a world class asset and is expected to have operating costs at the low end of the cost curve when fully ramped up.

In August 2024 we announced an Inferred Mineral Resource at Oak Dam of 1,340 Mt at 0.66% copper and 0.33 g/t gold grades following initial drilling results at FY24 US$457 m OD Deeps with intercept grades >1.0% copper. We are seeking government, heritage and regulatory approvals to begin execution activities on twin underground access declines. Our greenfield exploration strategy is focused on the discovery of high-quality resources, with a current focus on copper. We leverage advanced technologies including AI-driven geoscience models, machine learning and proprietary data systems to accelerate high-value mineral discoveries, improve exploration precision and unlock new resources globally. In May 2025 we announced a partnership with Codelco to explore the Anillo project in Antofagasta, Chile. The property is located approximately 30 km from Escondida and BHP has agreed to invest up to US$40 m. Our other greenfield exploration activities are currently focused on Chile, Peru, Canada, Australia, Serbia, Norway, Finland, Botswana and the United States. Applications for the fourth round of Xplor will open in September. This innovative accelerator program enables BHP to partner with early-stage exploration companies that have the potential to help shape our future growth pipeline. Since the programs inception in 2022, we have formed follow-on commercial arrangements with several companies. Vicuna, our joint venture in Argentina and Chile with Lundin Mining, expects to spend ~US$430 m (100% basis) in CY25 to advance project studies and mine planning, exploration drilling and access road construction. Today we announced the mineral resource estimate for the Josemaria and Filo del Sol deposits, which collectively contain 38 Mt of copper, as well as globally significant amounts of gold (81 Moz) and silver (1.5 Boz). Refer to Appendix 1 for more details. Vicuna has until July 2026 to submit its Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI) application which, if approved, is expected to be beneficial to the economics of the project. The joint venture envisions a phased approach to the development of Vicuna. Vicuna remains on track to complete its integrated technical report in Q1 CY26. 20

We are monitoring the evolving external nature landscape, including developments in nature frameworks, standards and methodologies and in definition of the global nature ambition. 11 Excluding areas we hold under greenfield exploration licences (or equivalent tenements), which are outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations. 30% will be calculated based on the areas of land and water that we steward at the end of FY30. For more information refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/sustainability. 12 In doing so we focus on areas of highest ecosystem value both within and outside our own operational footprint, in partnership with Indigenous peoples

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology, including, but not limited to, 'aim', 'ambition', 'anticipate', 'aspiration', 'believe', 'commit', 'continue', 'could', 'desire', 'ensure', 'estimate', 'expect', 'forecast', 'goal', 'guidance', 'intend', 'likely', 'may', 'milestone', 'must', 'need', 'objective', 'outlook', 'pathways', 'plan', 'project', 'schedule', 'seek', 'should', 'strategy', 'target', 'trend', 'will', 'would', or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations or performance, or provide other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations and reflect judgements, assumptions, estimates and other information available, as at the date of this release. These statements do not represent guarantees or predictions of future financial or operational performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this release. BHP cautions against reliance on any forward-looking statements. For example, our future revenues from our assets, projects or mines described in this release will be based, in part, on the market price of the commodities produced, which may vary significantly from current levels or those reflected in our reserves and resources estimates. These variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or mines, or the continuation of existing assets. Other factors that may affect our future operations and performance, including the actual construction or production commencement dates, revenues, costs or production output and anticipated lives of assets, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and deliver the products extracted to applicable markets; the development and use of new technologies and related risks; the impact of economic and geopolitical factors, including foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the commodities we produce and competition in the markets in which we operate; activities of government authorities in or impacting the countries where we sell our products and in the countries where we are exploring or developing projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes and royalties or implementation or expansion of trade or export restrictions; changes in environmental and other regulations; political or geopolitical uncertainty and conflicts; labour unrest; weather, climate variability or other manifestations of climate change; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in OFR 11 in the Annual Report and BHP's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') (including in Annual Reports on Form 20-F) which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by applicable regulations or by law, BHP does not undertake to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance. Emissions and energy consumption data Due to the inherent uncertainty and limitations in measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and operational energy consumption under the calculation methodologies used in the preparation of such data, all GHG emissions and operational energy consumption data or references to GHG emissions and operational energy consumption volumes (including ratios or percentages) in this release are estimates. There may also be differences in the manner that third parties calculate or report GHG emissions or operational energy consumption data compared to BHP, which means third-party data may not be comparable to our data. For information on how we calculate our GHG emissions, refer to the BHP GHG Emissions Calculation Methodology 2025, available at bhp.com. No offer of securities Nothing in this release should be construed as either an offer, or a solicitation of an offer, to buy or sell BHP securities in any jurisdiction, or be treated or relied upon as a recommendation or advice by BHP. Reliance on third party information The views expressed in this release contain information that has been derived from publicly available sources that have not been independently verified. No representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information. This release should not be relied upon as a recommendation or forecast by BHP. No financial or investment advice – South Africa BHP does not provide any financial or investment 'advice' as that term is defined in the South African Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 37 of 2002, and we strongly recommend that you seek professional advice. BHP and its subsidiaries In this release, the terms 'BHP', the 'Company, the 'Group', 'BHP Group', 'our business', 'organisation', 'we', 'us', 'our' and ourselves' refer to BHP Group Limited and, except where the context otherwise requires, our subsidiaries.

BHP \| Financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025 The following footnotes apply to this Results Announcement: i Combined employee and contractor frequency per 1 million hours worked. Prior year data (FY20 to FY23) excludes former OZL Australian assets (acquired 2 May 2023), which is included for FY24 and FY25. Prior year data (FY20 to FY24) also excludes (entirely) divested operations as follows: BHP Mitsui Coal (divested on 3 May 2022), BHP's oil and gas portfolio (merger with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022) and BMA's Daunia and Blackwater mines (divested on 2 April 2024). Excludes former OZL Brazil assets entirely. ii BHP internal analysis based on WAIO C1 reported unit costs compared to publicly available unit costs reported by major competitors (including Fortescue, Rio Tinto and Vale), adjusted based on publicly available financial information. iii We use various non-IFRS financial information to reflect our underlying financial performance. Non-IFRS financial information (as outlined in ASIC Regulatory Guide 230) is not defined or specified under the requirements of IFRS, but is derived from the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial information includes some of the following items (for a complete list of Non-IFRS financial information and their respective definitions and calculation methodology, please refer to OFR 13 in the Annual Report): Underlying attributable profit, Underlying EBIT, Underlying EBITDA, Underlying EBITDA margin, capital and exploration expenditure, adjusted effective tax rate, ROCE, Underlying return on capital employed, unit costs, free cash flow, net debt, gearing ratio, and Underlying earnings per share. Non-IFRS financial information and relevant reconciliations are included in the Annual Report document for the year ended 30 June 2025 and comparative periods. Non-IFRS financial information is unaudited. iv Our operational GHG emissions are the Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets (excluding former OZL Brazil assets). FY20 to FY25 GHG emissions data has been adjusted for acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes. This provides the data most relevant to assessing progress against our operational GHG emissions medium-term target and differs from annual total operational GHG emissions inventory (unadjusted for acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes). v Based on a 'point in time' snapshot of employees as at 30 June 2025, including employees on extended absence, as used in internal management reporting for the purposes of monitoring progress against our goals. Excludes former OZL Brazil assets. We define gender balance as a minimum 40% women and 40% men in line with the definitions used by entities such as the International Labour Organization. 'Women in leadership' refers to employees with one or more direct reports. vi Area under stewardship that has a formal management plan that includes conservation, restoration or regenerative practices. For more information refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/sustainability vii Includes former OZL (except former OZL Brazil assets) for FY25 only. viii For more information refer to the BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025. ix Production increased 5%, excluding production from the now divested Blackwater and Daunia mines. x Calculated on a copper equivalent production weighted average basis, based on FY25 average realised prices for major assets (Escondida, Spence, Copper SA, WAIO and BMA). xi On a total operations basis. xii Capital and exploration expenditure guidance is subject to movements in exchange rates. xiii Credit ratings are forward-looking opinions on credit risk. Moody's and Fitch's credit ratings express the opinion of each agency on the ability and willingness of BHP to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by an assigning rating agency. Any credit rating should be evaluated independently of any other information. xiv The information in this section is based on BHP data, analysis and desktop research on public data sources. xv 8% increase in copper production from FY24 (1,865 kt) to FY25 (2,017 kt). 28% increase in copper production from FY22 (1,574 kt) to FY25 (2,017 kt). xvi Represents our current aspiration for BHP group attributable copper production, and not intended to be a projection, forecast or production target. Includes potential increases in production rates, as well as potential from non-operated joint ventures as well as exploration programs. The pathway is subject to the completion of technical studies to support Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves estimates, capital allocation, regulatory approvals, market capacity, and, in certain cases, the development of exploration assets, in which factors are uncertain. xvii The pathway to increase potential production at Copper South Australia is subject to regulatory approvals, market capacity and, in certain cases, the development of exploration assets, which factors are uncertain. The pathway represents our current aspiration for Copper South Australia, and is not intended to be a projection, forecast or production target. Copper equivalent production includes potential increases in production rates and contribution from by-products, as well as potential impacts from our exploration program. Copper equivalent production is calculated using 2025 long term (real) consensus prices as of June 2025 of US$4.28/lb for copper, US$2,408/oz for gold, US$28/oz for silver and US$73/lb for uranium. xviii Based on CY24 production. xix Calculation based on long term consensus copper price of $4.50/lb. xx Estimated capital expenditure is BHP equity share. xxi Returns and payback period calculated using consensus iron ore prices as of June 2025 for FY26-FY30, and long-term. xxii Subject to movements in exchange rates; +/- 50% in any given year over the medium term. xxiii Amounts shown are those incurred by Samarco on a 100% basis, which includes cash outflows as well as accruals relevant to the period from when the agreement was signed on 25 October 2024 to the end of FY25 on 30 June 2025. A portion of these payments were funded by cash generated from the Samarco operations. xxiv Claims paid under the Definitive Indemnification Program (PID) to 31 July 2025. xxv Source: Wood Mackenzie H1 2025 report.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations and reflect judgements, assumptions, estimates and other information available as at the date of this presentation. These statements do not represent guarantees or predictions of future financial or operational performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this presentation.

Data includes former OZ Minerals (OZL) (except former OZL Brazil assets), except where specified otherwise. 2. Combined employee and contractor frequency per 1 million hours worked. FY24 data for HPIF and TRIF restated due to ongoing verification activities resulting in updated recordable injury and exposure hour data to exclude the Blackwater and Daunia mines divested by BMA (completed on 2 April 2024) and to add two HPIs due to re-classification. 3. Our operational GHG emissions are the Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets. FY24 and FY25 GHG emissions data has been adjusted for acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes. This provides the data most relevant to assessing progress against our operational GHG emissions medium-term target and differs from annual total operational GHG emissions inventory (unadjusted for acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes). 4. Baseline year data and performance data have been adjusted to only include voyages associated with the transportation of commodities currently in BHP's portfolio due to the data availability challenges of adjusting by asset or operation for CY08 and subsequent year data. GHG emissions intensity calculations currently include the transportation of copper, iron ore, steelmaking coal, energy coal, molybdenum, uranium and nickel. 5. Includes former OZL (except former OZL Brazil assets) for FY25 only. 6. Based on a 'point in time' snapshot of employees as at the end of the relevant reporting period. 7. We define gender balance as a minimum 40% women and 40% men in line with the definitions used by entities such as the International Labour Organization. 8. Indigenous employee participation for Australia is at Minerals Australia operations; for Chile is at Minerals Americas operations in Chile; and for Canada is at the Jansen Potash project and operations in Canada. 9. Area under stewardship that has a formal management plan that includes conservation, restoration or regenerative practices. FY24 data restated primarily due to identification of additional former OZL land holdings and areas where we hold sub-surface mineral rights. For more information refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025, available at bhp.com/sustainability. 10. Nature-positive is defined by the TNFD Glossary version 1.0 as 'A high-level goal and concept describing a future state of nature (e.g. biodiversity, ecosystem services and natural capital) which is greater than the current state'. We understand it to include land and water management practices that halt and reverse nature loss – that is, supporting healthy, functioning ecosystems. We are monitoring the evolving external nature landscape, including developments in nature frameworks, standards and methodologies and in definition of the global nature ambition. 11. Excluding areas we hold under greenfield exploration licences (or equivalent tenements), which are outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations. 30% will be calculated based on the areas of land and water that we steward at the end of FY30. For more information refer to the BHP ESG Standards and Databook 2025 available at bhp.com/sustainability. 12. In doing so we focus on areas of highest ecosystem value both within and outside our own operational footprint, in partnership with Indigenous peoples and local communities.

4 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 1 Our contribution continued Chief Financial Officer's review I am pleased to provide BHP's FY2025 Economic Contribution Report. On 13 August 2025 we marked the 140th year in BHP's storied history. It's a remarkable story of evolution and reinvention, and one this company and all involved with it can be proud of. The world needs more of the materials we produce to develop, decarbonise and digitalise. We remain well positioned to sustainably meet this demand and create long-term value for our shareholders, local communities, customers, suppliers and partners. BHP delivered another strong set of results in FY2025, enabled by our great people, disciplined execution of our strategy, world-class assets, operational excellence and through financial rigour underpinned by our Capital Allocation Framework. We achieved an underlying EBITDA of US$26 billion and invested US$9.8 billion in capital and exploration expenditure. As at 30 June 2025, our net debt was US$12.9 billion. We can be proud of BHP's financial performance in FY2025 but there's plenty more still to do. We have a significant pipeline of growth ahead of us and we are well positioned to fund it with the strength of our balance sheet and our confidence in our capabilities. BHP's economic contribution BHP's total direct economic contribution for FY2025 was US$46.8 billion. This includes payments to suppliers, wages and benefits for over 90,000 employees and contractors, dividends, taxes, royalties and voluntary investment in social projects across the communities where we operate. In FY2025, our tax, royalty and other payments to governments totalled US$10.4 billion. Of this, 65 per cent or US$6.8 billion (approximately A$10.5 billion) was paid in Australia. BHP was one of the largest corporate taxpayers in Australia in FY2025. During the last decade, we paid US$98.1 billion globally in taxes, royalties and other payments to governments, including US$78.1 billion (approximately A$103.1 billion) in Australia. Our global adjusted effective tax rate in FY2025 was 37.2 per cent. Once royalties are included, our FY2025 rate increases to 44.6 per cent. This significant contribution of tax and royalty revenue to the countries where we operate is important. It gives governments the opportunity to provide essential services to their citizens and invest in their communities for the future. We also create value for our shareholders and investors through the returns we provide. In FY2025, we paid US$6.3 billion in cash dividends to shareholders (FY2024 final dividend and FY2025 interim dividend), including many millions of Australians who hold BHP shares directly or via their superannuation. In FY2025, we contributed US$24.8 billion to our suppliers globally. BHP-operated projects spent over US$3.2 billion with more than 2,500 small, local and Indigenous businesses in the communities where we operate. This contribution typically has a multiplier effect by creating new jobs within our operations and within the suppliers they rely on. In FY2025, our tax, royalty and other payments to governments totalled US$10.4 billion. During the last decade, we paid US$98.1 billion globally in taxes, royalties and other payments to governments." Our commitment to transparency BHP has a long-standing commitment to transparency. We have disclosed details of our tax and royalty payments for 25 years and continually updated and expanded our disclosures. We recognise taxes and royalties are important sources of government revenue and central to the fiscal policy and macroeconomic stability of countries. Paying the right amount of taxes and royalties enables governments to finance and deliver on their development plans for the benefit of the broader community to promote sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and reduce poverty and inequality within and among countries. The BHP Economic Contribution Report aims to provide a greater understanding of BHP's global tax profile, tax contributions and the way we govern and manage our tax obligations. BHP is subject to the different tax regimes and complies with applicable tax laws in all the countries where we operate. BHP also provides information to tax authorities (in accordance with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Country-by-Country reporting requirements) that includes details of how we conduct our business and how BHP's entities transact with each other. We also continue to voluntarily disclose additional information for the key countries where we operate, including our total direct economic contribution, profit/(loss), number of employees and contractors, effective tax rates and tax reconciliation data. We have voluntarily published our Country-by-Country Report (in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI 207-4 reporting requirements) with first disclosure made in relation to FY2020. We believe companies should pay their fair share of tax and countries should have taxing rights commensurate with value created in those countries. We also believe it is important that a country's tax policy settings remain stable to provide businesses with the certainty needed to invest and continue to operate and support the communities in the countries where they operate. We make long-term investment decisions. Therefore, economic, political and fiscal factors impact investment decisions and long-term operational strategies that span multiple years. Stable and competitive tax systems are critical factors in determining whether the long-term returns associated with an investment are commensurate with the various risks associated with that investment. The right tax policy settings are critical to incentivise new mining investment. We believe we are successful when we work in partnership with communities to achieve long-term social, environmental and economic outcomes, and we are proud of our efforts to support the communities where we operate. Vandita Pant Chief Financial Officer Our total economic contribution for FY2025 US$46.8bn Our tax, royalty and other payments to governments US$10.4bn Employees and contractors over 90,000

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 7 How we create and deliver value We aim to grow value for our shareholders, partners and stakeholders through our portfolio of large, long-life, low-cost assets in attractive commodities, and through our focus on social value. BHP is positioned to benefit from the economic and social megatrends that will drive demand for our commodities in the coming decades. We are committed to social value: our positive contribution to society. It is vital for our future and a consideration in the strategic decisions we make. BHP has a track record of doing what we say we will do. We continue to plan strategically, responsibly, consistently, with a clear focus on being the best operator, being disciplined in the application of our Capital Allocation Framework, and continuing to generate value and returns for all stakeholders. We work in partnership with communities. We provide employment, purchase goods and services, pay taxes, royalties and other payments to governments and make contributions (such as donations) to the communities where we operate. The way we work provides a competitive advantage for BHP and is vital to delivering long-term enduring value. Value is created for our shareholders and investors, including pension and superannuation funds, through paying dividends and making other financial returns. We contribute to society more generally as we provide the building blocks essential to modern life for millions of people around the world. In this way, we strive to align with the interests of the communities where we operate and to society more broadly. 1. Exploration and acquisition How we contribute – Payments to suppliers and contractors – Wages paid to employees – Permits, licence fees and employment taxes We aim to create and protect the value of our portfolio through the exploration and early-stage entry and acquisition of new resources. Payments to governments during the exploration phase are usually relatively low, reflecting the high levels of investment and risk of this work. Permits, licence fees and employment taxes make up most of our payments to governments. Contributions to communities include payments to suppliers and contractors for any construction or excavation work and wages to employees (often for highly skilled and specialist roles, such as geologists, metallurgists and environmental scientists). Where acquisitions occur, our contribution can also include payments to governments, suppliers and contractors and the payment of licence fees. 2. Development and mining How we contribute – Capital expenditure – Payments to suppliers and contractors – Wages paid to employees – Permits and licence fees – Employment and sales taxes, import duties, property and land taxes – Contributions to communities where we operate Development involves construction of facilities, excavation and any supporting infrastructure required. This can extend to the construction of whole towns, including schools, medical facilities and recreation areas. More jobs are created, directly in construction and more broadly through the provision of goods and services to the sites and workforce. Contributions to local communities begin to be made. Payments to governments are largely through indirect taxes (such as sales tax, value added tax, goods and services taxes or excise fees) on equipment and materials, employment, property and land taxes. 3. Process and logistics How we contribute – Net profits – corporate taxes paid – Royalties paid from extraction – Payments to suppliers and contractors – Wages paid to employees – Employment and sales taxes, import duties – Contributions to communities where we operate – Payments to shareholders and investors Once extraction begins, royalties and resource taxes begin to be paid. Employment taxes increase as the operating workforce commences. Corporate income tax may also begin to be paid, however this is often lower in the early years of an operation as tax losses from upfront investment in earlier phases are offset against income. Over the life of an operation, payments to governments are significant. Community contributions continue through the operating life. Payments to shareholders and investors also increase as income from operations is generated. As we invest in long-term assets, we also strive to create high-value, long-term job opportunities and build strong relationships with communities, suppliers and contractors. 4. Sales, marketing and procurement How we contribute – Payments to suppliers and contractors – Wages paid to employees – Corporate, employment and sales taxes, import duties Sales and Marketing, and Procurement form part of our Commercial function, which seeks to maximise commercial and social value while minimising costs across our supply chain. The function is organised around core activities in our value chain, supported by credit and market risk management and strategy, planning and integrity activities. We sell and transport our products and obtain the goods and services that flow into our supply chain. Contributions include payments to suppliers, with a significant amount of spending directed to businesses in the communities where we operate. Sales and Marketing presents a single face to markets across multiple assets, with a view to realising maximum value for our products and supporting sustainability initiatives in our downstream supply chain. 5. Closure and rehabilitation How we contribute – Payments to suppliers and contractors – Corporate taxes paid if alternative revenue streams from post-mining land use are found – Lower employment and sales taxes Land no longer required for operations is rehabilitated. Rehabilitation activities are often interwoven with the continuing development of nearby operations. Payments to governments will be lower, as will employment and payments to suppliers and contractors, but long-term investment throughout the operating life of a mine provides lasting benefits for communities well after closure, for example through an upskilled workforce population and improved infrastructure facilities (e.g. roads, housing). Post-mining land use may generate new revenue streams for BHP and the local community.

8 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 1 Our contribution continued Social value We are committed to social value, our positive contribution to society. We believe social value and sustainability are vital to our future as they support stable operations, reduce risk and open doors to opportunities, partnerships, capital and talent. We believe this commitment can help us become a partner of choice with communities, governments, suppliers and our customers. We seek to be a valued partner with the communities where we operate and the Indigenous people we interact with. We aim to source and promote locally available goods and services as an important part of our external expenditure to help local communities thrive. We believe we are successful when we work in partnership with regional communities and where we can, we seek to employ local people and purchase local goods and services through our supply chains. In addition, we have continued to make voluntary social investment in local communities to projects that deliver positive economic, social and environmental outcomes. In FY2025, our voluntary social investment totalled US$128 million. This investment consisted of direct community development, environmental projects, donations and BHP's equity share to joint venture social investment programs. Over the past 10 years, our voluntary social investment has amounted to US$1.4 billion. The BHP FutureFit Academy continues to help bolster Australia's skills base and create new career pathways into the mining sector through an accredited maintenance and production traineeship or a trade apprenticeship. In FY2025, the FutureFit Academy trained more than 525 apprentices, trainees and employees, with 376 graduating. Since the FutureFit Academy was launched in May 2020, it has welcomed more than 1,625 students and graduated 1,153 apprentices at its facilities in Perth in Western Australia and Mackay in Queensland. The BHP FutureFit Academy's continuing success in Australia has seen it expand with the launch of the Potash Academy in Saskatchewan in Canada in FY2025. For more information refer to our case study: Jansen potash project and to Operating and Financial Review 9.5 in our Annual Report 2025. We believe we provide significant social value as part of our economic contribution to the communities and countries where we operate. Transparency about our contributions helps build trust with our stakeholders. More information on social investment, including case studies and other initiatives to support communities where we operate, is available at bhp.com/sustainability/approach/social-investment Case study: Local procurement Local businesses are vitally important to BHP's success and to the capacity and sustainability of regional communities. BHP is committed to contributing to the economic empowerment of the local and Indigenous communities where we operate. In the past five years, BHP-operated projects spent over US$15 billion with small, local and Indigenous businesses, including over US$3.2 billion with more than 2,500 small, local and Indigenous businesses in FY2025. A new initiative in Australia will, for the first time, help us measure how our local procurement activity makes a difference within regional communities. We believe we can use this insight to achieve greater impact from our procurement spend. The challenge In November 2024, BHP's Indigenous and Local Procurement team, together with our Think & Act Differently (TAD) innovation team, initiated The Ripple Effect Innovation Challenge. The challenge invites ideas aimed at improving the measurement and understanding of how local procurement spending affects the communities in which BHP operates. The challenge was open globally through TAD's Open House platform, with universities, Indigenous consultancies and impact specialists invited to apply. Submissions were reviewed based on innovation, feasibility and alignment with community values. Following final presentations in December 2024, Yamagigu Consulting (yamagigu), an Indigenous business collaborating with a Big Four consulting firm in Australia, was selected to lead the first phase of the work. The RIVER Dashboard Through the RIVER (Regional Impact of Value and Economic Resources) project, we have collaborated with yamagigu to develop an innovative impact measurement tool aimed at providing greater insight into the results of our local and Indigenous procurement expenditures. The RIVER Dashboard was developed through a collaborative design process involving 33 local, Traditional Owner, and Indigenous businesses, guided by survey feedback from 164 local and Indigenous suppliers supporting operations across Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO), Copper South Australia (Copper SA) and BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA). This dashboard reflects the dimensions of impact most highly valued by our supplier communities. These include regional economic activity and community wellbeing. Community sentiment and lived experiences are incorporated into Computable General Equilibrium modelling to deliver a place-based perspective on the resulting economic ripple effects. The modelling showed increased employment and Gross Regional Product in each region, alongside a broadly positive sentiment from our supplier community. It also highlighted areas where more work remains to be done. The outcome is a scalable, data-driven platform that facilitates informed decision-making through inclusive processes and helps us to ensure our procurement strategies are aligned with the priorities of the communities in which we operate. BHP is leading the development of research and technology that contributes to a globally scalable methodology to estimate their multiplier impact from direct procurement. This will help inform BHP and its community stakeholders in their strategic partnership decisions."Jay Edmonson Yamagigu Consulting Partner

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 9 Case study: Jansen potash project Our Jansen potash project in Saskatchewan, Canada is expected to become one of the world's largest potash mines. We are developing one of the world's largest potash mines in Canada. Jansen will increase our product diversification, customer base and operating footprint, and expand our business into a future growth market. As BHP's newest commodity, potash is used in fertilisers to assist with food security for a growing population and more sustainable land use. Construction of Jansen Stage 1 is underway. Together with construction of Stage 2, Jansen is expected to have a production capacity of approximately 8.5 million tonnes (Mt) a year of potash. As the largest private investment in Saskatchewan's history, Jansen's economic contribution is significant. The project is expected to generate more than 5,500 workforce opportunities during construction and approximately 900 permanent jobs once fully operational. This year, we celebrated a milestone of more than C$1 billion spent with local and Indigenous businesses in Canada with over C$500 million spent locally in FY2025. Partnering with communities to deliver social value We seek to build strong community partnerships in Saskatchewan. This is central to how we are building Jansen. Core to our success are partnerships with local and Indigenous communities and all levels of government. Since CY2016, we have contributed over C$56 million in community health and wellness, education and environmental conservation with approximately C$6 million in FY2025, including: – more than C$3.5 million provided to Indigenous partners and Indigenous-led organisations to support cultural preservation, community development, local events and more – C$500,000 invested in partnerships that advance outcomes in housing, childcare, emergency services and inclusive community relationships in our host communities – ongoing support for provincial emergency response efforts, including employee volunteering and contributions to STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service) – continued long-term partnerships to support educational organisations such as Foundations Learning, which provides critical resources to address literacy challenges Jansen's contribution at a glance in FY2025 C$2.5bn1 (US$1.8bn) suppliers over 2,300 employees and contractors Spotlight story To support the long-term success of our Jansen potash mine, we launched the BHP Potash Academy in partnership with Carlton Trail College in January 2025. Through the Academy, new-to-mining candidates complete an eight-month paid traineeship that provides them with skills and qualifications to transition into full-time, permanent production or maintenance roles at Jansen. It also immerses them in our safety-first culture and trains them in the BHP Operating System. By helping to remove entry barriers and offering paid, practical training, the Academy is helping to attract and retain skilled and diverse local workers for Jansen, building a talent pipeline for the future. There are up to 22 trainees in each cohort at the Academy. The program was co-developed with local communities, Indigenous stakeholders and post-secondary institutions, and is designed to evolve with industry needs and our workforce representation goals. Through this collaborative approach, we seek to strengthen our relationships with co-developers, address employment disparities and foster inclusivity by recruiting individuals from local communities, including our six partnering Indigenous communities. I didn't have the skills coming in, I have them now. I'm confident to go out there and be safe doing my job. Just take the commitment and take the leap. BHP is where you want to be."

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 11 Case study: BHP Mitsubishi Alliance The BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) is a 50:50 joint venture between BHP and Mitsubishi Development and was formed in 2001. BMA operates five steelmaking coal mines in Queensland's Bowen Basin – Goonyella Riverside, Broadmeadow, Peak Downs, Saraji and Caval Ridge. BMA also operates the Hay Point Coal Terminal near Mackay. BMA makes a significant contribution to the Queensland and the Australian economy with some sites operating for more than half a century. The mining sector is the largest contributor to Queensland's economy and the largest export industry in the state. In the past decade, BMA's mining operations have been a major contributor of royalties, paying more than A$21 billion to the Queensland Government, with over A$1.5 billion paid in FY2025. In FY2025, BMA spent over A$1.4 billion with more than 820 local suppliers, with over A$100 million spent with more than 50 Indigenous businesses, including more than A$50 million spent with Traditional Owner businesses. Partnering with communities to deliver social value BMA voluntarily invested more than A$9 million in education, skills and training, Indigenous partnerships, economic development, health, wellbeing and environmental projects in Queensland in FY2025, including: – becoming the new naming rights partner of BMA CQ Rescue, a service BMA has been supporting for almost three decades, which provides critical medical recovery for the Greater Whitsunday region. During FY2025, the BMA CQ Rescue team completed 735 missions – continuing to support the Childcare Leadership Alliance (CLA), to enable and support high-quality, early childhood and school-aged care in the Isaac Region – celebrating the outcomes of the six-year Queensland Indigenous Land Conservation Project (QILCP), a collaborative partnership between Greening Australia, BMA, Traditional Owners and First Nations communities focused on co-designing pathways for First Nations-led employment and enterprise by healing Country and improving water quality into the Great Barrier Reef – renewing our partnership with the Queensland Department of Education to implement the new Future Ready program, a A$4.7 million five-year partnership to provide STEM support for an initial 18 schools in the Bowen Basin. The new program will also help provide a stronger connection to country and Traditional Owners for Indigenous students – providing over A$578,000 to 58 local organisations and community groups through its Benefiting My Community small grants program to support grassroots initiatives across the Bowen Basin and Mackay regions For more information about BMA's contribution to Queensland refer to the BHP and BMA's Community Contribution Report available at bhp.com/news/media-centre/reports-presentations Spotlight story In March 2025, BMA partnered with the Barada Barna Aboriginal Corporation to host a two-day trade show and tendering workshop for Barada Barna Traditional Owner businesses. The purpose of the trade show and tendering workshop was to create lasting partnerships. The event was held on Country and focused on connecting and harnessing opportunities for working together while the Traditional Owner businesses developed a greater understanding of BHP's processes, systems and supply chain. On the first day, BMA and the Indigenous procurement teams conducted a tendering workshop to explain processes and systems and support the development of tender submission skills. On the second day, the potential buyers from BMA and the nine Barada Barna businesses in attendance came together to discuss opportunities. The businesses gave an overview of their purpose, capabilities and offerings, which included supply chain, equipment, labour hire, facilities, environment and cultural heritage services. BMA's contribution at a glance in FY2025 A$6.4bn1 (US$4.2bn) suppliers A$1.7bn (US$1.1bn) state royalties and other payments to the governments over 9,000 employees and contractors The workshop resulted in the registration of a new Barada Barna Traditional Owner business with BMA through the Local Buying Program (LBP). Savage Mundah Printing and Signs, a Barada Barna endorsed member business, is now collaborating with the Queensland Trading Tracks (QTT) program and has started receiving quote requests through the LBP portal. Relationships developed during the two-day event have allowed LBP and QTT to work with all nine businesses to help build their capabilities and capacity to deliver to BMA. The event enabled knowledge sharing and collaboration, and resulted in a better understanding of how BMA and the Barada Barna Aboriginal Corporation could work together to build a sustainable long-term partnership. The BBAC Tendering Workshop was a wonderful opportunity for Barada Barna Endorsed Member Businesses to come along and showcase their capabilities, products and services. It also created a space for these businesses to network not only with BMA but also with mob to help create pathways for future growth, development and potential partnerships."

12 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 1 Our contribution continued Case study: Copper South Australia Copper South Australia (Copper SA) comprises three underground mines and surface processing operations in one of the world's most significant copper, gold, silver and uranium basins. Copper SA was formed following our acquisition of OZ Minerals in May 2023. It refers to the Olympic Dam copper mine (the largest copper mine in Australia and the fourth-largest copper mine in the world), the Carrapateena and Prominent Hill copper mines, and the Oak Dam exploration project. The underground mining and conventional crushing operations of Carrapateena and Prominent Hill produce copper concentrate. These operations are each located around 180 kilometres by road from the mining and integrated crushing, grinding, concentrating, smelting and refining operations of Olympic Dam, which produces copper cathode, gold and silver bullion, and uranium oxide concentrate. The commodities produced by Copper SA are transported by road and rail to our domestic customers and via the Adelaide and Whyalla ports to our global customers. In FY2025, Copper SA spent over A$250 million with more than 140 local suppliers, with over A$100 million of this spent with 50 Indigenous businesses. Partnering with communities to deliver social value In FY2025, we invested A$7 million in community projects that benefit South Australia, including: – providing over A$350,000 to more than 35 local organisations and community groups through our Copper SA Community Donations program supporting grassroots initiatives across the Copper SA communities (Roxby Downs and surrounds, Upper Spencer Gulf, Coober Pedy and Far North regions). This includes funding the Connections in Culture Playgroup, the Roxby Downs Community Board's various community initiatives and the P.A.R.T.Y Program in Port Augusta Area School, which aims to prevent alcohol and risk-related trauma in youth – continuing to support childcare in Roxby Downs through various initiatives, including governance, mentoring and professional development support for the Roxby Downs Children's Centre (in partnership with Child Australia), support for the establishment of the Family Day Care service and upskilling/training of residents in Early Childhood Education and Care (in partnership with Uni Hub Spencer Gulf), and funding to support resource upgrades for childcare services – renewal and delivery of our partnership with the Tjindu Foundation, providing 50 First Nations secondary school students access to an alternative mode of study to drive educational success and close the gap target of year 12 attainment Copper SA's contribution at a glance in FY2025 A$4.5bn1 (US$2.9bn) suppliers over 9,500 employees and contractors Spotlight story BHP is collaborating with Traditional Owner rangers to look after our environment. The Arabana Ranger team, part of the Arabana Aboriginal Corporation, secured a fee-for-service contract with BHP in FY2025 to monitor feral animal activity at Jackboot Paddock at Stuart Creek Station on Arabana Country in South Australia. This land is managed by our Copper SA asset. The contract involves monitoring the density and activity of feral wildlife, such as cats and foxes, across a region covering 15,834 square kilometres, using 50 camera traps. The work will feed into the development of a management plan that includes conservation, restoration or regenerative practices at Jackboot in line with BHP's 2030 Healthy Environment goal. The Arabana Ranger team operates across their Native Title Determination Area, which covers 69,000 square kilometres of South Australia, including Kati Thanda (Lake Eyre). They are working closely with a team from Arid Recovery, a long-standing conservation organisation supported by BHP. Arid Recovery is providing training, scientific and technical expertise, and ongoing support to the Arabana Ranger team throughout 2025 to deliver the Jackboot monitoring project. The findings will be used to help decide the best next steps to manage feral species and enhance native biodiversity. The contract is a great step towards strengthening BHP and Arabana Aboriginal Corporation's partnering capability. Opportunities like this help Indigenous ranger programs to provide meaningful employment, skills development and cultural empowerment. Indigenous rangers in Australia play a vital role in conserving the environment and protecting cultural heritage across the country. The rangers are looking forward to continuing to work with Arid Recovery to gain further skills and knowledge in this type of work, and what outcomes this project may produce for the protection and preservation of the Jackboot paddock."

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 13 Case study: Chile We've been contributing to the Chilean economy for more than three decades. BHP operates two copper mines in Chile: Escondida1 and Spence located in the northern regions of Antofagasta and Tarapacá. Cerro Colorado mine has remained in temporary care and maintenance since December 2023. BHP's corporate headquarters in Chile are located in Santiago. BHP-operated mines have produced 24 per cent of all Chilean copper since Escondida commenced production in 1990. This has been enabled by capital expenditure, including more than US$20 billion in the past decade. Escondida has produced more than 33 Mt of copper since operations began. The mine is currently the largest copper producing mine in the world, producing over 1 Mt of copper a year and operating with more than 24,000 employees and contractors. Spence has produced around 3.5 Mt of copper since beginning operation in 2006. It operates with around 9,200 employees and contractors. In Chile, BHP pioneered the use of desalinated water in mining. Investments in Escondida include more than US$4 billion towards the construction of two desalination plants, which have enabled Escondida to become 100 per cent supplied by desalinated water. At Spence, a concentrator is supplied entirely by a desalination plant owned and operated by a third party. Both Escondida and Spence's electricity needs are supplied entirely by renewable energy contracts. Escondida continued the construction of a boiler diesel displacement solution in FY2025. It is planned to commence operating in FY2026. This solution will replace diesel-fired boilers with a heat source (combining a thermo-solar and electric boiler solution) that does not generate any greenhouse gas emissions from operation of the boiler or generation of its electricity supply due to Escondida's 100 per cent renewable energy Power Purchase Agreements. We also expect to commence construction of the same type of solution at Spence during FY2026. BHP-operated mines spent over US$1.1 billion in Chile with local suppliers in FY2025. Since CY2019, we have actively promoted the development of local small suppliers in the regions of Antofagasta and Tarapacá. BHP's Local Buying Program has created long-term business relationships with local small-to-medium enterprises with over US$55 million spent with 420 suppliers through the program during FY2025. In the past decade, BHP-operated mines in Chile have contributed more than US$10.7 billion2 in first category income tax (corporate income tax) and mining tax to the country's government. During the same period, BHP contributed approximately US$2.4 billion in withholding tax on our share of dividends from operations in Chile. Contribution in FY2025 by BHP-operated mines in Chile at a glance US$3.2bn taxes and other payments to Government US$7.3bn suppliers over 35,000 employees and contractors 29% of Chilean copper production Spotlight story In May 2025, we launched the Suppliers and Future plan ('Proveedores & Futuro') to strengthen the development of local suppliers and innovation in the Antofagasta region. The plan consists of five initiatives: Compra Local, BHP's program that supports small and medium enterprise in the region; Aster, the mining startup accelerator; AntofaEmprende, the triple-impact entrepreneurship contest; USQAI, the University innovation and entrepreneurship laboratory; and Balloon International Lickan Antai, an Indigenous entrepreneurship program. At the launch event, we awarded outstanding suppliers of the BHP Local Buying Program for their commitment and compliance with BHP's values and culture. These were World Class Mining Services (Safety category), Berliam SPA (Inclusion and Diversity category), Construcciones y Servicios LyG (Exceptional Performance category) and AGS Solutions (Innovation category). This event supports our commitment to improve engagement with local and Indigenous businesses across all our operating regions. Entrepreneurs are the engine of the local economy. In the particular case of Antofagasta, they could potentially be key players in the development of mining and energy-related industries, but to achieve this, it is imperative that large companies give space to these suppliers in their purchasing processes and thus generate a productive chain. In this city, there are the solutions and services that large mining demands, it is not necessary to look at Santiago. The natural laboratory and headquarters of local suppliers is here to scale solutions not only for regional mining, but also for national and even international markets." Sacha Razmilic Mayor of Antofagasta 1. BHP operates and owns 57.5 per cent of the Escondida mine, a joint venture with Rio Tinto (30 per cent) and Japan-based JECO Corp (12.5 per cent). 2. The figure includes 100 per cent of Escondida.

14 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 2 Our approach to tax Our Tax Principles Our Charter and Our Code of Conduct (Our Code) define how we work at BHP. Our Charter describes our purpose, our strategy and Our Values. It is the single most important means by which we communicate who we are, what we do and what we stand for, and is the basis for our decision-making. Supporting Our Charter is Our Code, which brings Our Values to life so we can make the right choices every day. Our approach to tax is underpinned by Our Charter and Our Code, and is embodied in our Tax Principles. The Risk and Audit Committee of the BHP Board endorsed these principles and in FY2025, we conducted annual assurance that we have adhered to our Tax Principles. The six principles that govern our global approach to tax: 1 Transparency We are transparent about the taxes and royalties we pay to governments because we believe openness allows our shareholders, employees, contractors, partners, customers and communities to understand the contribution we make and have a greater ability to assess the integrity of the tax systems in the countries where we operate. 2 Corporate citizenship We act with integrity when engaging with revenue authorities to support positive and constructive relationships. Where possible, for the purposes of obtaining certainty of our tax positions, we engage with revenue authorities on a real-time basis regarding the application of the tax law and to identify and resolve any disagreements on a timely basis. 3 Risk management and governance We are committed to strong governance. We identify, assess and manage tax risks in accordance with our global Risk Framework. Material risks are reported to the Risk and Audit Committee. For more information refer to page 17. 4 Business rationale Our transactions have proper commercial purposes and economic rationale. We locate business activities where value is optimally created. We seek to have a tax charge that contributes to superior business performance and delivers long-term shareholder value. Accordingly, we do not engage in aggressive tax planning. 5 Compliance We respect and comply with the laws of the countries where we operate. We meet all of our tax compliance obligations on time. Our tax obligations include pricing transactions in our global value chain according to where value is created and economic activity occurs, in compliance with the OECD guidelines, and based on the arm's length principle. 6 Advocating reform We support simple, stable and competitive tax rules and the principle that the taxing rights of countries should be commensurate with where the economic activity occurs. We engage in the reform process of international tax rules (including transfer pricing) and local tax rules in countries where we operate. We do this because we believe tax systems should be effective, efficient and competitive, in order to support economic growth, job creation and viable long-term tax contributions.

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 15 Our approach to transparency BHP has a strong commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance and transparency. Being open about taxes and royalties we pay to governments helps build trust with our shareholders, employees, customers, the communities where we operate and other stakeholders. Transparency allows an informed debate on the integrity of tax regimes and the contribution we do and should make in the countries where we operate. This commitment is reflected in our support of global transparency initiatives. For example, we are a supporting company and represented on the Board of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), whose 2023 Standard requires the EITI implementing countries to publicly disclose beneficial owners. We continue to support public disclosure requirements relating to beneficial ownership (that is, the ultimate holder of the benefits of ownership of a company), because disclosure of beneficial ownership is an important element in making sure assets and income are fully disclosed to relevant regulatory bodies, including revenue authorities to promote compliance with tax laws. We commend the efforts of other organisations that support beneficial ownership transparency and companies, including our joint venture partners, contractors and suppliers that publicly disclose their beneficial owners. We support ongoing efforts by governments and multilateral organisations to promote and implement beneficial ownership transparency measures globally. BHP continues to make the disclosures on shareholders and entities in which we have an interest, in line with laws and regulations and voluntary commitments, including the beneficial owners of our mining joint ventures that generate material revenue for BHP. For more information on our approach to beneficial ownership transparency, including our disclosures, refer to the Operating and Financial Review 9.7 in our Annual Report 2025 and Ethics and Business Conduct page at bhp.com/sustainability/ethics-business-conduct We support mandatory payment disclosure legislation, such as the Reports on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended) and DTR 4.3A of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules in the United Kingdom, the European Union's Accounting and Transparency Directives (including as they apply in the United Kingdom following the UK's exit from the European Union), where applicable, and Section 13(q) Disclosure of Payments By Resource Extraction Issuers of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). We also support the public disclosure of country-by-country reports containing detailed quantitative data, such as revenue from related and unrelated parties, profit/(loss) before tax, effective tax rate and number of employees for each country in which a subsidiary entity is a tax resident. This Report and global tax transparency requirements We began our journey of voluntarily disclosing our payments of taxes and royalties in 2000 when we first disclosed these payments in our Environment and Community Report. Since then, we have progressively increased the detail of these annual disclosures meeting global and local tax transparency requirements but also voluntarily disclosing additional information above these requirements. This Report complies with a number of tax transparency frameworks: – UK regulatory obligations: The information on our payments to governments on pages 20 to 25 addresses our reporting obligations under DTR 4.3A of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, which were introduced to implement the payments to governments requirements provided for in the EU Transparency Directive. – Australian Voluntary Tax Transparency Code: We have adhered to all of the Best Practice Recommendations and minimum standards for 'large businesses' contained in the Post-Implementation Review of the Tax Transparency Code Consultation Paper released by the Australian Board of Taxation in February 2019. – B Team Responsible Tax Principles: As a founding member of the B Team Responsible Tax Principles, we disclose details of our approach to tax management, including our relationships with tax authorities, entities located in low-tax jurisdictions, primarily established for historical reasons, jurisdictions where we have accepted tax incentives and our approach to advocacy on tax issues. – GRI 207: Our Economic Contribution Report 2025 meets the requirements of GRI 207-1 to 3 issued by the Global Sustainability Standards Board. We disclose payments to governments connected with our extractive activity to meet the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (ESTMA) requirements in Canada and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in accordance with Section 13(q) Disclosure of payments by resource extraction issuers under the Exchange Act. In addition, in accordance with the UK Requirements under paragraphs 19 and 22 of Schedule 19 of the UK Finance Act 2016, we publish Our Tax Strategy on an annual basis. Our Tax Strategy for the year ended 30 June 2025 is available at bhp.com/about/operating-ethically/tax-transparency We voluntarily disclose additional information, including our total direct economic contribution, profit/(loss), number of employees and contractors, effective tax rates in the key countries where we operate and reconciliation data. GRI 207 The GRI is the independent, international organisation that sets the standards that represent global best practice for publicly reporting on a range of economic, environmental and social impacts. GRI 207 sets out disclosures related to tax and payments to governments aimed to help promote greater transparency on an organisation's approach to taxes. Key elements of GRI 207 have been integral to our economic and tax transparency disclosures since 2000. It comprises the following standards: – GRI 207-1: Approach to tax – GRI 207-2: Tax governance, control and risk management – GRI 207-3: Stakeholder engagement and management of concerns related to tax – GRI 207-4: Country-by-country reporting The requirements of GRI 207-1 to 3 are addressed in this Report. In addition to the payments to government data presented in this Report, BHP has been publishing our Country-by-Country Reports (available at bhp.com/about/operating-ethically/tax-transparency). The Country-by-Country Reports for FY2024 and FY2025 will be published in accordance with the requirements of GRI 207-4. The future of global tax transparency To be meaningful, information and data should be disclosed that is useful to stakeholders and in a format that is accessible, machine readable and easy to understand and utilise. Therefore, we support the establishment of a globally consistent regulatory disclosure framework, including equivalency provisions between jurisdictions. In addition, we support alignment between the quantitative data provided to tax authorities to comply with country-by-country reporting obligations and the data to be disclosed pursuant to any global standards advocating public country-by-country reporting. The alignment of reporting under these initiatives would create a consistent basis for companies to disclose data, such as payments to governments, minimise compliance costs and make it easier for stakeholders to compare information between jurisdictions, sectors and companies. We will continue to engage with governments, regulators and civil society organisations to move towards global consistency. We understand the connection between the disclosures we make about the taxes and royalties we pay to governments, which enable the public to see what we have paid and transparency of the contracts we have with governments, allowing comparison of our actual payments against what is required to be paid.

16 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 2 Our approach to tax continued Our contribution to the development of tax policy Tax policy We actively participate in public consultation processes and provide our perspective on how best to balance the need for government revenues from tax against the need to incentivise ongoing, sustainable investment, which in turn benefits communities. In order to attract investment, tax systems should be internationally competitive and stable. One of the key factors that impacts the international competitiveness of a country's tax regime is the total effective tax and royalty rate on profits. After returning excess cash to our shareholders (e.g. in the form of dividends) and ensuring our balance sheet is strong, we invest back into our business and community. We have global competition for limited capital across our many investment opportunities around the world. When we assess which projects we will invest our capital in, tax competitiveness is an important consideration. We make long-term investment decisions. Therefore, economic, political and fiscal factors impact investment decisions and long-term operational strategies that span multiple years. Stable and competitive tax systems are critical factors in determining whether the long-term returns associated with an investment are commensurate with the various risks associated with that investment. Our assessment of the stability of tax regimes is a critical factor in assessing the risks associated with particular projects. We support the work undertaken by the OECD to achieve a global solution to address the tax challenges of the digitalisation of the economy. For the extractives industry, as the right to extract commodities is inherently and substantially connected with the country where the commodities are located, such countries should continue to have the right to tax profits associated with those commodities. We continue to contribute to the development and implementation of a solution that provides for a globally competitive tax system that supports economic growth and viable long-term tax contributions. We engage on tax policy and reform matters in the countries where we operate. We work with governments directly or through industry associations to share our views on the wider ramifications that tax proposals will have on the industry, the regulatory and commercial environments, our customers and the broader community. We primarily do this through a number of global industry and local associations, including the Business Council of Australia, Minerals Council of Australia, Consejo Minero, Mining Association of Canada and the International Council on Mining and Metals. For more information on our approach to industry associations refer to Operating Ethically page at bhp.com/about/operating-ethically

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 17 Our approach to tax governance and risk management Given the size, geographic scope and complexity of our operations and, at times, uncertainty regarding the application of tax laws, risk may arise in the determination of our tax liabilities. The identification and management of risks are central to achieving our strategic objectives. Risk management, including for tax, is embedded in all our critical business activities, functions, processes and systems through the application of BHP's Risk Framework. Under our Risk Framework, the Board and senior management, including the Executive Leadership Team, oversee and monitor risk management outcomes. The Risk and Audit Committee assists the Board with the oversight of risk management, including tax and royalty matters. The Chief Financial Officer, supported by the Group Tax Officer, is accountable for managing tax risk. In addition to BHP's Risk Framework, Tax Principles and Our Tax Strategy, we have internal governance standards that set out our approach to tax risk management, the level of risk the Group seeks to take and escalation points and procedures. Matters are considered for escalation based on a number of elements, including the quantum at risk, level of technical uncertainty and change of law risk. BHP's Tax function is also subject to regular internal reviews and audits to provide assurance over compliance with these standards. Our Tax function is responsible for the execution of BHP's Tax Principles, Our Tax Strategy and management of tax risk in accordance with the Risk Framework. It advises management on the tax implications of business decisions, transactions and compliance with tax laws, in accordance with the internal governance standards. Our external auditor provides assurance on our financial report (which includes tax disclosures set out in Financial Statements note 6 'Income tax expense' and note 14 'Deferred tax balances' in our Annual Report 2025). For more information refer to the Independent Auditor's Reports in the Annual Report 2025 and this Economic Contribution Report 2025 For information on our Risk Framework refer to the Operating and Financial Review 7 in our Annual Report 2025 Low-tax jurisdictions In classifying which of our subsidiaries are located in low-tax jurisdictions, we have applied the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes as at February 2025. Countries were assessed against agreed criteria for good governance, consistent with the standards of the EU member states. These criteria relate to global tax transparency, fair taxation and implementation of OECD base erosion and profit shifting measures. The EU has published a list of 'non-cooperative' jurisdictions and a 'watch list' of jurisdictions that have committed to address deficiencies in their tax governance and reviews the lists at least yearly. We have one subsidiary in a country on the EU's non-cooperative list and two subsidiaries on the 'watch list'. All of these subsidiaries are subject to the controlled foreign company tax rules of Australia. Details of each of these subsidiaries, including FY2025 profits/(losses), are included in the tables below. Tax incentives We have been granted tax incentives in some countries where we operate. Where tax incentives are legislated and open to all qualifying taxpayers, we will accept them. The criteria that apply to such incentives generally include a significant contribution to the local economy through a range of qualitative and quantitative measures, such as local employment, investment and ongoing expenditures. In Singapore, we were granted an incentive exempting us from paying income tax on profit from qualifying shipping operations (total qualifying profits from our shipping business were approximately US$132 million in FY2025) under the Maritime Sector Incentive – Approved International Shipping Enterprise status. Also, we were awarded a development and expansion incentive under the International Headquarters Award under the Economic Expansion Incentives (Relief from Income Tax) Act (Chapter 86), for our activities relating to sales and marketing in Singapore. During the incentive period and subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the incentive, qualifying income earned will be subject to a concessionary rate of 5 per cent. Our profits from the sales and marketing activities in Singapore were approximately US$383 million in FY2025. All FY2025 profits made in Singapore from the sale of our Australian commodities are subject to tax in Australia at the normal corporate tax rate of 30 per cent under the Australian controlled foreign company rules. In the Philippines, we maintain a registration with the Board of Investment and the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, that grants certain fiscal and non-fiscal incentives, including a concessional income tax rate of 5 per cent. In FY2025, our qualifying profits from the operation of our Global Business Services function in the Philippines were approximately US$0.6 million. All FY2025 profits made in the Philippines from services provided to Australian companies are subject to tax in Australia at the normal corporate tax rate of 30 per cent under the Australian controlled foreign company rules. We have entered into a foreign investment agreement offered by the Chilean Government, which has been in place for a number of years. This agreement provides foreign investors with various rights over their capital investments that give them certainty on project investments in Chile for a period of time, including certainty on the level of taxes levied and access to local exchange markets for the movement of capital. In Brazil, we were granted a 75 per cent corporate income tax reduction, that is conditional upon the reinvestment in the operations in the State of Pará. Global Two framework minimum tax under the OECD's Pillar The OECD's Pillar Two framework imposes a global minimum tax rate of 15 per cent on the profits of large multinational enterprises in each of the jurisdictions they operate in. BHP has a presence in jurisdictions that have enacted or substantively enacted legislation in relation to the Pillar Two framework, including Australia, where its ultimate parent entity is tax resident. Australia's adoption of the OECD's Pillar Two framework means that the Group is subject to this minimum tax rate in every jurisdiction where we operate. Companies in 'non-cooperative' jurisdictions Incorporation Profit/(loss) before tax Income subject to tax Name Jurisdiction Year US$M in another country Nature of activities Marcona International, S.A.1 Panama 1953 – – Holding company (legacy) Companies in 'watch list' jurisdictions Incorporation Profit/(loss) before tax Income subject to tax Name Jurisdiction Year US$M in another country Nature of activities BHP Billiton UK Holdings Limited2 British Virgin Islands 2004 258 UK3 Holding company BHP Billiton UK Investments Limited2 British Virgin Islands 2004 258 UK3 Holding company 1.

These companies are tax residents in the United Kingdom. All their worldwide income is subject to tax in the United Kingdom at the normal corporate tax rate as the income is earned (not when it is repatriated).

18 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 2 Our approach to tax continued Our approach to compliance We respect and comply with the laws of the countries where we operate in accordance with our Tax Principles. We strive for full and timely tax compliance. Our tax obligations include pricing transactions in our global value chain according to where value is created and economic activity occurs, in compliance with the OECD guidelines based on the arm's length principle. Intra-group transactions We disclose our material transactions through the lodgement of our tax returns and other disclosures to revenue authorities. For example, in Australia we comply with a number of country-by-country reporting obligations, including lodging a local file, master file and a country-by-country report with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in accordance with Australian tax laws (and consistent with the OECD's country-by-country reporting requirements). This information provides tax authorities with details of how we operate our business and conduct our tax affairs around the world and includes details on various entities' international related party dealings. Consistent with our commitment to transparency, we have voluntarily included in this Report information about material transactions between companies in the BHP Group. We outline below the top four dealings (by quantum) between our Australian entities and non-Australian related parties. Sales and Marketing business Sales and Marketing connects BHP's resources to market through commercial expertise, sales and operations planning, customer insights and proactive risk management. It is the link between BHP's global operations and our global customers. Our Sales and Marketing business adds value to BHP and the countries where we operate by striving to ensure we receive the maximum price for our commodities. It aims to achieve this by finding the best markets for our commodities, liaising closely with our customers on their specific product requirements and coordinating logistics to deliver the commodities to our customers. For export sales from Australia, our Sales and Marketing business typically buys the commodities from our Australian production assets, arranges the freight and other logistics and sells the commodities to its customers. In some instances, it will provide services to the production asset and act as its agent. Location Our Sales and Marketing business offices are located close to our customers in our key markets. As Asia accounts for 87.6 per cent of our revenue, our global minerals Sales and Marketing business is headquartered in Singapore. Our Sales and Marketing business has approximately 200 employees and contractors globally, with 90 located in Singapore. Other smaller offices are strategically located around the world. Singapore is the Asian centre for global commodities trading and is home to the vast majority of the world's largest commodity trading companies. Singapore is one of the world's most connected countries, strategically located along the world's major trade and shipping routes and provides a base for world-class connectivity with an effective transportation network. It also provides a stable and transparent regulatory framework that supports trade and investment. Singapore's high living standards attract highly qualified people and it has a large pool of commodities trading talent, providing a highly skilled and diverse workforce. In addition to our Sales and Marketing business, we have teams in Maritime and Supply Chain Excellence based in Singapore to support our activities in the region. The Maritime and Supply Chain Excellence Division manages BHP's enterprise-wide maritime transportation strategy and the chartering of ocean freight to meet BHP's inbound and outbound transportation needs. Profits Our Sales and Marketing business in Singapore earns a margin on its sales having regard to the risks and activities undertaken and the value added. In FY2025, our Sales and Marketing business made profits of approximately US$383 million on global commodity sales. Tax In FY2025, the profits (of approximately US$383 million) of our Sales and Marketing business in Singapore were subject to corporate income tax at a reduced rate of 5 per cent under a tax incentive that the Singaporean Government has granted BHP (refer to the Tax incentives section). All FY2025 profits made by our Sales and Marketing business from the sale of our Australian commodities acquired from entities controlled by BHP are subject to tax in Australia at the normal corporate tax rate of 30 per cent under the Australian controlled foreign company rules. Financing BHP obtains funding from a number of external sources. For example, designated Treasury companies obtain debt funding from the external markets and our Sales and Marketing business and assets receive the proceeds from the sale of our products to customers. These funds may be deployed in different ways, including capital and operating expenditure or returns to our shareholders. We aim to achieve efficient and effective cash flow management and concentrate our excess cash reserves through loans and deposits between BHP entities. These transactions usually happen in the same jurisdiction but can cross multiple jurisdictions. We are transparent with our tax authorities about our funding arrangements. As at 30 June 2025, we have no disputes with any tax authorities in relation to the Group's financing arrangements. Administration and technology BHP is a globally integrated group, with people frequently working together across teams and geographies. For example, we have globalised functions, such as External Affairs, Finance, Human Resources and Technology that provide support to our assets and our Sales and Marketing business. We also have regional functions that provide localised support to our assets on health, safety, environment, projects, engineering and integrated operations. Typically, a fee is charged for services that are provided across different entities and/or jurisdictions within the BHP Group. For example, when our Group functions in Australia provide support to our assets, the assets are charged a service fee. Our key jurisdictions that charge these service fees are Australia, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, United Kingdom and United States of America. Insurance premiums BHP has a captive insurance company incorporated in Guernsey (Stein Insurance Company Limited), which provides insurance to our global portfolio of operated assets and our Sales and Marketing business. The risks insured are primarily property related. We choose to self-insure these risks because it makes economic sense to do so. The insurance company is located in Guernsey because of the expertise available, lower capital requirements and strong regulatory rules compared with other jurisdictions. Our assets and Sales and Marketing business pay annual premiums to the insurance company and receive insurance monies for insured losses suffered. Premiums are priced in accordance with the arm's length principle as set out in the OECD guidelines. The profits of Stein Insurance Company Limited vary significantly year-on-year depending on the value of insured events that occur. All FY2025 profits made by Stein are subject to tax in Australia at the normal corporate tax rate of 30 per cent under the Australian controlled foreign company rules.

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 19 Our approach to stakeholder engagement As a global company, we interact with a range of stakeholders. Our methods, frequency of engaging with and approach to listening to stakeholders are diverse and we use a range of formal and informal communication and engagement channels to understand the views of our stakeholders. We work openly, transparently and constructively with tax authorities and regularly engage with them as part of regular assurance programs and consultation on tax administration matters. We place great importance on having effective relationships with tax authorities. Positive and transparent engagement with tax authorities that leads to timely and accurate payment of taxes and royalties assists the societies where we operate to provide valuable public services and infrastructure for the benefit of the broader community and economy. We also engage with a broader group of stakeholders on tax policy matters through our participation in global industry and local associations. We seek to provide practical, measured and constructive comments to help meet objectives of new tax initiatives. We believe more informed, effective and enduring outcomes are achieved where governments openly consult with stakeholders. We work with governments directly or through industry associations to provide our perspective on the broader implications of new tax proposals. We communicate, engage with and capture the concerns of external stakeholders via our Annual General Meetings, Group publications (including our Annual Report and other topic-specific reports), our website, social media platforms, releases to the market and media, analyst briefings, speeches and interviews with senior executives and investor roundtables. We regularly engage with civil society, including think tanks and non-government organisations, and participate in public events to communicate BHP's approach to tax and transparency and seek feedback from leading organisations. This enables us to stay aligned with evolving expectations around tax and transparency. Our approach to stakeholder engagement is described in the Operating and Financial Review 9.7 in our Annual Report 2025 and Operating Ethically page at bhp.com/about/operating-ethically Information on tax matters is provided in this Report and in Our Tax Strategy Tax authority relationships As part of our commitment to corporate citizenship, we seek to maintain positive and constructive relationships with revenue authorities. We proactively engage with these authorities to discuss potential issues and endeavour to, where possible, resolve any disagreements on a timely basis. The tax authorities conduct assurance on our tax affairs in a number of jurisdictions around the world. As part of these programs, we keep the tax authorities updated on our business and help them develop a deeper understanding of our business through regular dialogue. BHP is currently part of the ATO's 'justified trust' program. Under this program, the ATO is seeking to obtain greater assurance that large corporates are paying the 'right' amount of tax in accordance with tax laws. BHP received an overall high level of assurance in the most recent Tax Assurance Report issued by the ATO related to FY2022. Tax agreements As part of our commitment to corporate citizenship, we may enter into agreements with revenue authorities about the amount of tax we should pay on our activities. This gives us greater certainty about our future tax payments and reduces the risk of tax disputes with tax authorities. We also entered into an agreement with the ATO in November 2018 in relation to the Australian tax treatment of our Sales and Marketing business as part of the resolution of the long-standing transfer pricing dispute with the ATO. Tax disputes Given the size, geographic scope and complexity of our operations and, at times, uncertainty regarding the application of tax laws, we have occasional disagreements with tax authorities over the amount of taxes to be paid. In this respect, BHP is no different from other large and complex corporations. Where possible, we engage with revenue authorities on a real-time basis regarding the application of the tax law and to identify and resolve any disagreements on a timely basis. Reconciling this Report with ATO transparency data We prepare a reconciliation of our taxes paid in Australia to the data published by the ATO each year under Australian mandatory corporate tax transparency measures. This reconciliation is published on our website when the ATO publishes its data. The latest data published by the ATO relates to FY2023. The reconciliation of our Australian taxes paid to this data is available at bhp.com/about/operating-ethically/tax-transparency

26 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 4 Additional information Tax and our FY2025 Financial Statements Below are some commonly asked questions to assist with better understanding this Report and its link to our Financial Statements. Tax expense Why is the tax expense in your Financial Statements different to the amount of tax paid you disclose in this Report? The numbers are different because they are calculated at different times for different purposes. The income tax expense recorded in our Financial Statements reflects the impact on our financial position at the end of the financial year. It is designed to give shareholders an indication of the amount of tax the Group expects to pay for the activities undertaken during that financial year, so they can assess the impact tax may have on the financial position of the Group. For a number of reasons, this number does not represent the actual cash tax paid during that financial year. For example, cash tax paid during that financial year may include payments or refunds relating to activities for a prior financial year, but may exclude final payments or refunds that relate to activities for that financial year but which occur after the end of the financial year. Additionally, the reporting of revenues or expenses in our Financial Statements may be different to their impact on taxable income reported in tax returns. For example, a piece of equipment may be depreciated for accounting purposes over a certain number of years, but be deductible for tax purposes over a different period (whether shorter or longer). These differences are commonly known as 'deferred tax'. How do the numbers reported here reconcile to the accounting profit, tax expense and tax payable in your financial report? The income tax and royalty-related income tax paid reported in this Report is included in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement in Financial Statements 1.4 in our Annual Report 2025, presented as net income tax and royalty-related tax refunded of US$448 million and net income tax and royalty-related tax paid of US$7,721 million. These also reconcile to the tax expense, presented on an accrual basis, in Financial Statements note 6 'Income tax expense' and deferred tax expense arising from differences between accounting and tax treatments as shown in Financial Statements note 14 'Deferred tax balances' in our Annual Report 2025. Set out in the table on the next page is a reconciliation of accounting profit to income tax expense and current tax payable for the year ended June 2025.

28 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 4 Additional information continued Effective tax rate What is your effective tax rate and how is it calculated? The effective tax rate is the amount of tax expense attributable to a year as a proportion of profit before tax. We provide our adjusted effective tax rate, which is calculated as total income tax expense divided by accounting profit, excluding the influence of exchange rate movements and exceptional items. The adjusted effective tax rate is a measure based on the Group's underlying earnings and therefore removes the impact of one-off transactions. For more information on the exceptional items excluded from the adjusted effective tax rate calculation refer to Financial Statements note 3 'Exceptional items' in our Annual Report 2025. BHP's global adjusted effective tax rate is shown below. Global % Adjusted effective tax rate 37.2 Adjusted effective tax rate including royalty expense 44.6 Why tax rate? is your effective tax different from the corporate The tax rate (from which the effective tax rate is derived) is different in each country where we operate. That tax rate applies to the taxable profits derived in that country and any deductions, allowances, incentives or other adjustments unique to that country. As a result, our global effective tax rate will not be the same as the corporate tax rate in any particular country.

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 29 Basis of Report preparation The Report is prepared from data recorded in our financial systems, being the same data and financial systems used to prepare our Financial Statements. In preparing the Report, we have followed the draft guidance material produced by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The 'Total payments as defined by the UK Requirements' included on pages 20 to 25 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of DTR 4.3A of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and, where required by DTR 4.3A, the UK Regulations (the 'UK Requirements'). There were no dividend payments, taxes levied on production, production entitlements or signature, discovery and production bonuses paid to governments in the year ended 30 June 2025 for the purposes of the UK Requirements. Taxes, royalties and other payments to governments are presented in this Report on a cash paid and cash received basis for the year ended 30 June 2025. For our controlled assets, amounts included in our total payments to governments are 100 per cent of the assets' payments to governments. For our non-operated and operated joint ventures, amounts included in our payments to governments are 100 per cent of the amounts paid by BHP and, in the case of BMA, 50 per cent of payments made by the operating entity for BMA in which BHP has a 50 per cent ownership. For our investments in joint ventures and associates that are equity accounted by BHP, no amounts have been included in our total payments to governments as BHP is not the operator and does not make payments on behalf of the asset. For information purposes, the BHP share of the payments made by our significant equity accounted investments have been shown on page 5 even though no amounts have been included in our total payments to governments. Where an acquisition is completed in the year, or a company is newly consolidated in the year, the numbers relating to that business are included from the date of acquisition. Where a disposal has been completed in the year, the numbers relating to that disposal have been included up to the point of disposal. Taxes, royalties and other payments to governments, net of refunds, are collectively referred to in this Report as 'total payments to governments' and include the following payment categories: Corporate income taxes Payments to governments based on taxable profits under legislated income tax rules. This also includes payments made to revenue authorities in respect of disputed claims and withholding taxes. For the purposes of allocating corporate income taxes to particular countries in the Payments made by country and level of government section of this Report, withholding taxes are allocated to the country to which the withholding taxes are remitted. For example, Chilean withholding taxes paid to the Chilean Government are allocated to Chile. Royalty-related income taxes Payments to governments in relation to profits from the extraction of natural resources, including specific tax on mining activities in Chile. This also includes payments to revenue authorities in respect of disputed claims. Royalty-related income taxes are included within total tax expense in the Consolidated Income Statement in Financial Statements 1.1 in our Annual Report 2025. Royalties Payments to governments in relation to revenue or production generated under licence agreements. This also includes payments to revenue authorities in respect of disputed claims. Royalties are presented as expenses, not income tax, in the Consolidated Income Statement in Financial Statements 1.1 in our Annual Report 2025. Royalty-related income taxes are excluded from royalties. Fees Payments to governments in the form of fees typically levied on the initial or ongoing right to use a geographical area for exploration, development and/or production. This includes licence fees, rental fees, entry fees and other payments for licences and/or concessions. Payments for infrastructure improvements Payments to governments for the construction of public infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and port facilities. Other payments Payments to governments under other legislated tax rules, such as payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, excise duties, property tax, land tax and other payments related to government environmental policy. These payments are not required to be disclosed by the UK Requirements. Excluded amounts The following are not included in total payments to governments: Taxes collected Tax payments made to governments on behalf of our employees. Indirect taxes Tax payments made to or received from governments in the nature of sales tax, value added tax and goods and services tax. Penalties and interest Payments to governments resulting from the imposition of penalties, fees or interest. Other Certain payments, whether made as a single payment or as a series of related payments below thresholds set out under DTR 4.3A, UK Regulations, ESTMA and Section 13(q) of the Exchange Act. Projects Payments made by project (refer to Payments made by project section of this Report) represent payments by an entity when not specifically attributable to a project. Payments in relation to our Corporate and Commercial functions have been included in the total payments to governments as defined by the UK Requirements. The payments are not attributable to specific projects and reflect functional support for the Group that, in FY2025, consisted entirely of projects that undertook relevant activities as defined by the UK Requirements. The Payments made by project section presents corporate income tax amounts for each project/entity taking into account the effects of tax consolidation in Australia. These include: – losses from one entity can be offset against taxable income of another entity within the same tax consolidated group – only the head entity of a tax consolidated group is liable to make corporate income tax payments to the ATO – typically, corporate tax groups allocate the aggregate corporate income tax payments made by the head entity to the ATO among entities within the Australian tax consolidated group Reporting currency All payments to governments on pages 20 to 25 have been reported in US dollars. Payments denominated in currencies other than US dollars are translated for this Report at the exchange rate at the date of the payment unless stated otherwise.

30 BHP Economic Contribution Report 2025 4 Additional information continued Glossary Adjusted effective tax rate Total tax expense excluding exceptional items and exchange rate movements included in tax expense divided by profit before tax and exceptional items. Adjusted effective tax and royalty rate Total tax expense excluding exceptional items and exchange rate movements included in tax expense plus royalty expense divided by profit before tax, royalties and exceptional items. Current tax expense The amount of corporate income tax and royalty-related income tax currently payable and attributable to the year, measured at rates enacted or substantively enacted at year-end, together with any adjustment to those taxes payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax expense The amount of corporate income tax and royalty-related income tax attributable to the current year but payable in future years provided using the balance sheet liability method. Employees and contractors Employee data is based on a 'point-in-time' snapshot of employees as at 30 June 2025, including employees on extended absence. Contractor data is collected from internal organisation systems and averaged for a 10-month period from July 2024 to April 2025. Global Reporting Initiative Standards The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards represent global best practice for reporting publicly on a range of economic, environmental and social impacts. Sustainability reporting based on the Standards provides information about an organisation's positive or negative contributions to sustainable development. Government Any national, regional or local authority of a country (includes a department, agency or undertaking that is a subsidiary undertaking where the authority is the parent undertaking). Income tax expense The total of current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Payments to shareholders and investors Geographical distribution of dividends is based on the registered address of shareholders. Profit before tax Profit before tax when presented by country is adjusted for intercompany dividends. Project Consistent with the UK Regulations, a project is defined as the operational activities that are governed by a single contract, licence, lease, concession or similar legal agreements and form the basis for payment liabilities with a government. If multiple such agreements are 'substantially interconnected' they may be considered a project. For these purposes 'substantially interconnected' means forming a set of operationally and geographically integrated contracts, licences, leases or concessions or related agreements with substantially similar terms that are signed with a government, giving rise to payment liabilities. Social investment Our voluntary contribution towards projects or donations with the primary purpose of contributing to the resilience of the communities where we operate and the environment, aligned with our broader business priorities. Suppliers Payments made to suppliers for certain operating and capital expenditure. Operating expenses relate to the purchases of utilities, goods and services, whereas capital expenditure includes the purchases of property, plant and equipment and expenditure on exploration and evaluation activities. Sustainability (including sustainable and sustainably) We describe our approach to sustainability and its governance in the BHP Annual Report 2025, including Operating and Financial Review 9. Our references to sustainability (including sustainable and sustainably) in this Report and our other disclosures do not mean we will not have any adverse impact on the economy, the environment or society, and do not imply we will necessarily give primacy to consideration of, or achieve any absolute outcome in relation to, any one economic, environmental or social issue (such as zero greenhouse gas emissions or other environmental effects). UK Regulations The Reports on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014, as amended. UK Requirements The UK regulatory obligations under DTR 4.3A of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and, where required by DTR 4.3A, the UK Regulations.

Our contribution Our approach to tax Our payments to governments Additional information 31 Independent Auditor's Report to the Directors of BHP Group Limited Opinion We have audited the Total payments to governments of $10,363 million ('Total payments to governments') of BHP Group Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the BHP Group) for the year ended 30 June 2025. In our opinion, the Total payments to governments of $10,363 million in the 'Our payments to governments' section of BHP Group's Economic Contribution Report 2025 ('the Report') for the year ended 30 June 2025 is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of report preparation set out in the 'Basis of Report preparation' section of the Report ('the Basis of Report preparation'). Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Total payments to governments section of our report. We are independent of BHP Group in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit in Australia of the Total payments to governments, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis and restriction of matter on reliance – Basis of report preparation We draw attention to the basis of report preparation contained in the 'Basis of Report preparation' section of the Report which describes the basis of accounting. As a result, the Report may not be suitable for another purpose. This audit report has been prepared solely for the directors of BHP Group (the 'Recipients') in accordance with our engagement agreement with BHP Group. A party other than the Recipients accessing this report does so at their own risk and Ernst & Young expressly disclaims all liability to a party other than the Recipients for any costs, loss, damage, injury or other consequence which may arise directly or indirectly from their use of, or reliance on the report. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Other information Other information is financial and non-financial information in the Report which is provided in addition to the Total payments to governments and this auditor's report. BHP Group is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the Total payments to governments does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Total payments to governments, our responsibility is to read the Other information. In doing so, we consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Total payments to governments or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, and based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we have nothing to report. Responsibilities to governments of management for the Total payments BHP Group's management is responsible for the preparation of the Report and for establishing a framework under which the Total payments to governments and other information in the Report has been prepared. Management has determined that this framework as set out in the Basis of Report preparation is appropriate to the needs of the users of the Report. Management is also responsible for such internal controls as Management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of the Report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's payments responsibilities to governments for the audit of the Total Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Total payments to governments is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: – Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Total payments to governments, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. – Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of BHP Group's internal control. – Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates, if any, and related disclosures made by management. We communicate with the directors, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
