The future of mining: The boss of industrial giant BHP speaks to FRANCE 24
The mining industry plays a key role in the world’s energy transition, providing critical minerals and metals needed for new, green technology. It also faces pressure to reduce its carbon footprint and protect communities affected by mining activities around the world. BHP chief executive Mike Henry says the world’s largest mining company is at the forefront of these changes and is increasing production with a focus on sustainability. “This is the basis of BHP’s strategy (…) The world needs more of other metals and minerals. If we want to do this in a way that does not have negative consequences for other aspects of environmental protection, we must set high standards and adhere to them.”
