Community Investment Strategy
BHP Billiton aims to make a valuable contribution to its local communities, not only by providing employment opportunities, but also by supporting organisations that help to create a healthy and sustainable social fabric in those communities. Investing in social and community programs is an important element of the Company’s approach to community relations.BHP Billiton recognises that the socio-economic impact of the extractive industries sector can be significant; and in recent years, there has been an increasingly intense debate on and scrutiny of the broad sustainable development and socio-economic implications of the mining, minerals and petroleum sectors. We actively seek to understand our socio-economic impact on local communities and host regions through our participation in the International Council of Mining and Metal’s multi-stakeholder Resource Endowment Initiative (REI).
