Stakeholder Insights for BHP in Mining

We are the Sustainable Infrastructure Buyers—a cross-industry coalition of procurement professionals guiding demand for minerals and materials essential to decarbonization.

We operate across energy, construction, and manufacturing sectors, pooling resources to secure reliable supply at responsible costs. Our collective commitments center on ESG integrity, transparent supplier relationships, and long-term value rather than short-term price spikes.

Our work is anchored in the realities of global supply chains:

volatile commodity markets, geopolitical risk, and the imperative to minimize environmental footprint. We champion copper for renewables, iron ore and metallurgical coal for infrastructure, and potash to support sustainable farming. We favor partnerships with producers who demonstrate responsible governance, climate action, and cultural stewardship in the communities where operations occur. Within our networks, we balance regulatory compliance, data-driven insights, and collaborative risk management to enable sustainable growth.

Regionally, our practices vary with market maturity; North America and Europe emphasize governance and decarbonization mandates, while Asia-Pacific and Latin America prioritize resilience and local supplier ecosystems.

Yet we share a common language: lifecycle thinking, total cost of ownership, and a bias toward transparent metrics that stakeholders can validate. We are strategic, patient, and pragmatic—pursuing reforms that deliver durable value for our organizations, our suppliers, and the broader societal transition.

We are a network of regional farming co-ops and municipal procurement partners united by a shared commitment to affordable, reliable access to essential minerals and nutrients for sustainable growth.

Our focus spans soil health with potash, resilient rural infrastructure with copper-based solutions, and enabling sustainable farming at scale. We value local ownership, long-term relationships, and transparent pricing that aligns with community budgets and risk tolerance. We operate across diverse regions, acknowledging that market maturity, governance norms, and regulatory contexts shape our sourcing choices, yet we converge on lifecycle thinking, total value to communities, and robust, data-driven supplier partnerships.

Our collective identity centers on resilience, collaboration, and social impact.

We prioritize local value capture, sustainable farming, and climate adaptation. We prefer co-ops and public-sector buyers who share governance standards and open communication. Our regional differences show in procurement cycles, risk appetite, and emphasis on local content. We balance affordability with environmental and social performance, focusing on reliable supply chains, traceability, and community well-being. We approach supplier relationships as partnerships built on trust, mutual accountability, and continuous improvement. We deploy pilots to demonstrate impact, share learnings across networks, and scale solutions that deliver durable value to members and the communities we serve.
