About this Report
Welcome to the BHP Billiton Sustainability Report for 2005.
You will notice that this year’s Report has been renamed from the BHP Billiton HSEC Report to the BHP Billiton Sustainability Report. The change reflects the further evolution of the report since we commenced public reporting on non-financial performance in 1997. Our first Report was limited to environmental performance. Safety, health and community data was included in subsequent Reports. As well as reflecting the progressive broadening of the Report to cover socio-economic and ethical issues, the title more closely aligns with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.
Following encouraging stakeholder feedback, we have again produced the Report in two formats: a printed summary report for general readership, and a more detailed web based report. We have endeavoured to improve the usability of the web based report this year, as the intent is to make it the key focus for the bulk of reporting. Should you wish to obtain a printed copy of the summary report, please Contact Us.
