I&#146;ve enjoyed these interactions over the last year - whether it be through retail forums, or the meetings I&#146;ve had with institutional investors all around the world. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I am also pleased that we have found new ways to connect, despite the challenges of the year. In fact over the last three months, we have had an unprecedented
amount of engagement with our shareholders. We&#146;ve held two BHP Live events, a retail forum for UK shareholders, two sustainability roundtable sessions, two Indigenous heritage roundtables, and a climate change briefing. </P>

to you at our 2019 AGM I said &#145;success is never assured&#146; and &#145;we work in an uncertain world&#146;. Unfortunately, the past 12 months have demonstrated the extent of that uncertainty. </P>

life; most major economies &#150; other than China &#150; are in recession, leaving millions of people out of work; and there has been significant commodity price volatility. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Andrew&#146;s leadership, BHP became a simpler and more disciplined company. We thank him for his vision and hard work, which has changed the way we
operate and engage with the world. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mike Henry is a leader of integrity with exceptional standards and an uncompromising commitment to safety. He is a
true professional with significant operational and commercial experience at BHP, and he has a deep passion for your company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will hear from Mike

of great opportunity for BHP. Because as great as the challenges the world is facing, we know the answer to many of them can be found in the very resources we produce. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our products are essential for global economic growth and the transition to a lower carbon world. We provide the materials that improve the lives of billions

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is what we do. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is BHP&#146;s guiding motivation, and

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have the confidence to deliver on this purpose because of our strong foundations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When I first spoke to you as Chair in 2017, I detailed five priorities for the future of BHP: Safety, Portfolio, Capital discipline, Capability and culture,
and Social value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These priorities have not changed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Safety is still our top priority &#150; and I am pleased that our Total Recordable Injury Frequency improved in 2020 and, most importantly, we did not have
any fatalities on our sites. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We continue to sharpen our portfolio by focusing on future-facing commodities and assets that will deliver the greatest
long-term value to shareholders. This is why we have strengthened our copper and nickel holdings and announced our intent to divest our interests in a number of coal assets whose value may be best realised outside of BHP. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We remain relentless on capital discipline and will continue to be guided by our Capital Allocation Framework. This helps us to direct capital between
investments, the balance sheet and cash returns to shareholders, such as dividends. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also keep building on one of our core strengths &#150; the
capability and culture of the company and its people. At Board level, this process continued over the year with a number of key appointments. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At our last AGM, I said that our relationships with Traditional Owners are among the most important that BHP has. Recent industry events only reinforce that
view, so I&#146;d like to update you on our engagement with Indigenous communities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In Australia, BHP has continued our work with Traditional Owners, and
more recently the First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance, to build our shared vision for the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Together we have developed principles around
Indigenous Heritage in Australia, reaffirming our policy and commitment to Free, Prior and Informed Consent in agreement making, and that regulatory regimes should respect and reflect this right. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have also set new aspirations for cultural heritage keeping places to even better advance Traditional Owners&#146; values, culture and pride. Places where
artefacts can be stored and visited, and also places of knowledge, learning and celebration of the unique living cultures they are connected to. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I want
to acknowledge the Traditional Owners, Indigenous leaders and Aboriginal Land Councils that have engaged with us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I look forward to our continuing

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP&#146;s approach to social value shows up locally - through our support of the communities where we operate - but also globally, where we are actively
addressing some of the world&#146;s most complex challenges, such as climate change. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is something that we have been addressing for decades. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We were one of the first resource companies in the world to set targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and last year we established a US$400 million program to
invest in low emissions technologies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We recently made a number of announcements that demonstrate the next step in responding to this challenge, because
we know we have a responsibility to reduce emissions from our own operations, and help communities and countries decarbonise their economies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are
acting on this responsibility. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have set out clear targets and goals, based on thorough analysis, and most importantly, shared how we will deliver on

career in the resources industry and have been with BHP for almost two decades. Our refreshed purpose statement, developed last year, &#145;To bring people and resources together to build a better world&#146; perfectly talks to why I am here. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP is a company that is, indeed, steeped in history&#133;but we are not constrained by it. As we have done for over a century now, we continue to evolve and
lead for the times. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We provide the resources that are essential to improving lives around the world. We support tens of thousands of direct jobs, and
many more through the business opportunities we create for others. Our operations provide the lifeblood for many regional communities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Young people are
able to join us, grow their careers and build lives for themselves and their loved ones. Our shareholders rely on the value we create and our consistent generation of strong cash returns. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We do so supported by access to people, resources, and capital &#150; your investment in us. BHP must be a company that governments and communities trust, and
where great people want to work. We must be a company investors are confident in and find attractive because we generate strong value and returns, in the right way. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">My commitment to you is to lead in a way that ensures all of these are so. Our focus on social value will ensure that all stakeholders benefit from our
existence, and that communities trust in us. We will hire great people, invest in them and have a culture that supports exceptional performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And, we

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our strategy, portfolio, relationships and team are strong. This was evident in our results over the past year and in how we have navigated the challenges that
Ken spoke of. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In spite of these challenges, we achieved a safe year with zero fatalities in our operations and strong financial performance. This was
possible because of the remarkable way in which people across BHP stepped up, and because of the support we were afforded by our host communities, governments, business partners and traditional owners. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also sought to support those who rely on BHP: we shortened payment terms for small, local and Indigenous suppliers, provided new health and social funds in
our host communities, and we created an additional 1,500 temporary jobs. In addition, the BHP Foundation is funding vaccine and treatment research. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our
strong performance has resulted in a number of our operations achieving record production or throughput and we achieved lower unit costs across all of our major assets. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We produced strong operational cash flow, and through our disciplined application of our capital allocation framework we concurrently invested in growth;
maintained a strong balance sheet with net debt at the bottom of our range; and returned over US$6 billion to shareholders for the third year in a row, which included an additional amount of US$1.5 billion over our minimum 50 per cent payout ratio.

our shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have demonstrated sector-leadership in climate change action for over two decades and, as Ken mentioned, just last month we
announced our next series of commitments, including a 30 per cent reduction in operational emissions in the next decade, on path to becoming net zero by 2050. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have recently made bold moves on renewable energy, as well as on water stewardship, including a shift to 100 per cent desalinated water and renewable power
at our Escondida and Spence operations in Chile. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have grown female participation in our workforce by two percentage points in the past year, to 26.5
per cent, which is in the order of 50 per cent higher than our peers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We continue to invest in indigenous employment and grew representation in our
workforce over the year. In Australia, the proportion of people who identify as indigenous in BHP is now around twice that of society overall. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are
looking to double the proportion of people who have permanent employment with BHP and we have also recently announced funding and support for 3,500 new apprenticeships and training opportunities in Australia over the next five years. </P>

our other coal operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And, as part of our balanced approach to investing in Petroleum, we recently grew our working interest in Shenzi but we also
shared our intent to divest from more mature, later life assets, including our non-operated interest in the Bass Strait joint venture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As we shape our
portfolio for the future, it is incredibly important that we deliver exceptional safety, operational and financial performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the face of market
uncertainty and slowing rates of growth in commodity demand, a greater proportion of value growth will come from an unrelenting focus on being great at what we do. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We remain committed to the capital discipline we have demonstrated in recent years and will further build upon our technical and operational capability. The
revised shape of the Executive Leadership Team will bring operational and technical excellence to the fore, along with our focus on our portfolio and social value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Momentum is with us and we are well-positioned for the year ahead </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the near term, we expect that the global economy will take some time to stabilise and recover from COVID-19. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Given the variable nature of the pace and structure of the recovery around the world and exacerbated by global trade tensions, the outlook for commodity
markets remains uncertain. However, the strength and consistency of the economic recovery underway in China does provide a measure of confidence and optimism. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP&#146;s performance in the past year illustrates the resilience of our portfolio, balance sheet, people and relationships. We are very well positioned to
weather uncertainty and to emerge from COVID-19 stronger, faster-paced and more focused. </P>
