Download our code An introduction to our Code of Conduct 1:08 A message from our CEO Mike Henry on our Code of Conduct Our purpose is to bring people and resources together to build a better world. And how we do that, matters. Our decisions and actions are guided by the core values in Our Charter. In fact, it was BHP’s commitment to these values that was one reasons I came to work here more than two decades ago. Our code brings these values to life. It reminds us why values are important and helps us understand them in practice. Chapters of our Code Using our code As a BHP employee you are expected to understand the Code and apply it to your work every day. If you are unsure of how to apply the guidance, please speak up and ask. Caring for our people Our people are our most important resource and are key to our success. We want all of our people to go home safe and well, treated fairly, respectfully, and feel safe to speak up. Working with others Our relationships with others are essential to our success. Our Code helps us build respectful relationships with our external partners and stakeholders. Caring about society Out Charter value of Sustainability reminds us to put health and safety first, to be environmentally responsible and to support our communities. Respect for human rights is critical to the sustainability of our business and industry. Protecting our company We all have an obligation to protect BHP's property. We also need to make sure that we use our assets for the purpose for which they are intended. Sharing information We all need to make sure that we protect and respect Company and personal information and the privacy of others in accordance with Our Code.
