BHP Group Limited - Economic Contribution Report 2023
---------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
Our Economic Contribution Report (Report) for the year ended 30
June 2023 was released today.
BHP has delivered a strong set of results in FY2023, against a
backdrop of economic uncertainty. In FY2023, BHP achieved both
production guidance and growth across each of our commodities,
including record annual production at Western Australia Iron Ore,
Olympic Dam and Spence. Overall, we saw lower revenue in FY2023 due
to weaker prices in key commodities. On the cost side, we managed
the impact of inflation well, relative to the market, through
disciplined cost control.
The strength of our portfolio, our operating excellence, our
people and ongoing commitment to social value should position us
well to continue growing value for our shareholders and support the
communities in the countries where we operate.
BHP has a long-standing commitment to transparency. We recognise
taxes are important sources of government revenue and are 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 national 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. We have disclosed details of
our tax and royalty payments for more than 20 years and we have
continually updated and expanded our disclosures. The Economic
Contribution Report aims to provide a greater understanding of
BHP's global tax profile, tax contributions and the manner in which
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,
including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) Country-by-Country reporting. This information
provides tax authorities around the world with details of how we
conduct our business and how BHP's entities transact with each
other.
Our Economic Contribution Report 2023 has today been submitted
to the FCA National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available
for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism . It is also
available to be downloaded on the BHP website at:
https://www.bhp.com/-/media/Documents/Investors/Annual-Reports/2023/230822_bhpeconomiccontributionreport2023.pdf
BHP's total direct economic contribution for FY2023 was US$54.2
billion. This includes contribution to suppliers, wages and
benefits for more than 80,000 employees and contractors, dividends,
taxes, royalties and voluntary investment in social projects across
the communities where we operate. In FY2023, our tax, royalty and
other payments to governments totalled US$13.8 billion. Of this, 88
per cent or US$12.1 billion was paid in Australia. This made BHP
one of the largest corporate taxpayers in Australia in FY2023.
During the last decade, we paid US$94.2 billion globally in taxes,
royalties and other payments to governments, including US$74.9
billion (approximately A$101.0 billion) in Australia.

Report 2023 that together meet our UK regulatory obligations under
