The BHP Billiton Way 1

CEO Message

At BHPBilliton, we aspire
to be the worlds best
natural resources company.

At BHP Billiton, Our Purpose is to create long-term shareholder

value through the discovery, acquisition, development
and marketing of natural resources. Our consistent strategy
to own and operate large, long-life, low-cost, expandable,
upstream assets, diversified by commodity, geography and
market has resulted in us holding a unique position in the
resources industry and delivering value to our shareholders.
To secure our future, we must continue to deliver a stable
and dependable cash flow that enables us to invest in
growth. Our ability to do this in the past has helped make
us one of the leading natural resources companies in the
world. However, we are only successful today because of
the actions of the people who came before us over a history
spanning more than 150 years.
We can never take our performance for granted. Each day,
we must safely operate all of our assets at capacity and
continue to identify those resources we will leave to the
next generation of BHP Billiton leaders. Without exception
we must do our work in a way that is consistent with
Our Charter values and Code of Business Conduct. It is
only when we work in this way that we can continue to
work on behalf of our shareholders and communities that
we are privileged to serve.
The BHP Billiton Way has been designed to give you
a snap shot of what we do and how we do it. It contains
OurCharter and the role it plays in communicating, not
only what we do, but the way in which we are all expected
to work. Its values are central to our way of working and
have fundamentally remained unchanged since the Charter
was first introduced in 1999. Our values form the basis
of the Code of Business Conduct.

2 THE BHP BILLITON WAY

The BHP Billiton Way also outlines how we have structured

our Company to deliver our strategy. It includes our
Operating Model, which describes how accountabilities are
divided across the Company. It helps each of us understand
our role in delivering the strategy and the measures against
which we will be held to account.
We are a large and globally diverse business. We also have
a workforce diversified by gender, nationality, ethnicity, skill,
thought and style, and we take pride in the strength that
comes from our diversity.
The BHP Billiton Way is your tool to better understand how
our Company operates.

Governance and Management

at BHPBilliton

From left: The Group Management Committee: J Michael Yeager, Karen Wood,
Andrew Mackenzie, Marius Kloppers, Graham Kerr, Marcus Randolph,
Alberto Calderon and Mike Henry.

We are committed to the highest level of governance and

strive to foster a culture that values and rewards exemplary
ethical standards, personal and corporate integrity and
respect for others. The Board governs the Group consistent
with Our Charter values, long stated business strategy
and commitment to a transparent and high-quality
governance system.
Our approach to governance is predicated on the belief
that there is a link between high-quality governance
and the creation of long-term shareholder value. It is our
view that governance is not just a matter for the Board;
a culture of good governance must be fostered throughout
the organisation.
The Board has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer
all authority to manage the business of the Group to achieve
Our Purpose. The CEO has, in turn, established the Group
Management Committee (GMC), a management structure
to enable him to effectively execute his authority in a way
that is consistent with the expectations of the Board.
The GMC provides advice to the Chief Executive Officer on
matters that are strategic and long-term in nature, or have
the potential to significantly impact the Groups performance
and reputation.

An important role for the GMC is to determine the way

the Group operates. This involves setting the organisation
structure and Operating Model; defining the accountabilities
and scope of Customer Sector Groups (CSGs), the Group
Functions, Minerals Exploration and Marketing. The Group
Functions operate as agents of the GMC in executing their
mandates that are designed to ensure that we meet our
governance requirements and that our business is run in
the most effective way possible. A key part of the GMCs
role in this regard is to approve all Group Level Documents
(GLDs). These documents contain the minimum mandatory
performance requirements for the Group. In addition to
accountabilities, they also contain the requisite approvals
for decisions.
Strategic risks and opportunities arising from changes
in our business are regularly reviewed by the GMC and
discussed by the Board. The Board has established a number
of committees to assist it in exercising its authority and to
monitor the performance of the business. This ensures that
a robust governance and management culture is fostered
throughout the organisation.

September 2011

Our Charter is the single most important means by which we

communicate who weare, what we do and what we stand
foras an organisation. It is through Our Charter we articulate
Our Purpose,our strategy, the values we uphold and how
we measure success. Our Charter is thefoundation for our
decision-making, actions and behaviours.
Our Charter makes it clear that as we strive for success we
must remain forthright in the things we value: Sustainability,
Integrity, Respect, Performance, Simplicity and Accountability.
By working in a way that is consistent with Our Charter,
wewillcontinue to build on our success both today and
forthe long term.

Our Values:
There is nothing more important than Our Charter values. As an
organisation we hold our people accountable to live the values.
Sustainability

Our priority is to ensure that all our people return home safe and well at the end of every
working day. Effective health and safety performance is critical to us. We all have a role
to play in ensuring we care for our colleagues and take the appropriate steps to prevent
workplace related injuries and illness.
Operating sustainably underpins everything we do. We work to improve energy efficiency,
reduce pollution, enhance biodiversity and improve the quality of life of people in our
surrounding communities.

Integrity

We care as much about how the results are achieved as we do about the results themselves.
We are committed to working with integrity and believe that consistent and proper business
conduct creates dedication and trust.

Respect

Our dealings with each other, and those with the wider community is one of mutual respect.
We always treat others as we expect to be treated and we value diversity and collaboration.

Performance

Our people have exceptional skills and are encouraged to stretch their capabilities. We value
excellence in all we do.

Simplicity

We focus our energy on the activities that create the most value for the organisation.
We strive to reduce complexity wherever we see it by simplifying processes and stopping
low value adding activities.

Accountability

Our success is driven by the decisions we take and how well we execute them. This requires
each of us to take responsibility for what we commit to and ensures the best outcomes are
delivered to our stakeholders.

Our Operating Model has been designed to deliver a simple

and scalable organisation, providing a competitive advantage
through defining how we work, how we are organised and
how we measure performance. By having a common set
of organisation design principles, systems and processes,
and a defined set of performance requirements, we can
achieve Our Purpose and provide a planned, controlled
and safe work environment for our people where all
risks are managed.
Our Organisation Design GLD (GLD.001) stipulates how
we structure our organisation and defines the roles and
accountabilities of our people, empowering them to apply
their functional expertise to solve complex problems in
a world-class manner. We value our people and they are the
foundation of our success. We are committed to providing
career opportunities and engaging our people to reach
their full potential.
We have a common set of functions at the CSG, Asset and
Operation level, with clear lines of accountability that foster
functional excellence. Functional services are aggregated
at the Assets so that Operations can remain focused on
safety, production and cost. Our CSGs are focused on
strategy, growing the value of their businesses and

governing their Assets and major projects. Our Minerals

Exploration team find our future resources and our Marketing
team manage our customer relationships and sell our products.
Each one of our 16 Group Functions has a clear mandate
approved by the GMC. Our GLDs contain the mandatory
requirements imposed on all parts of the business and set
out the authorities framework. Compliance with these GLDs
ensures BHP Billitons reputation is effectively managed;
we meet our minimum standards and we are focusing
on the things that matter most.
Clear accountabilities and transparent data mean we make
informed decisions every time and provide a framework
for our people so they know they are contributing in a
positive and measurable way. Our Operating Model ensures
the health and safety of our people and the delivery to plan
of our products at the lowest possible cost. Our shareholders,
customers, suppliers and communities respect the way we
conduct business, our integrity and the quality of our people
and processes.
With our simple and scalable organisation, we will continue
to resource the future growing seamlessly, integrating
new projects and acquisitions.

Group Management
Committee

The GMC provides leadership to the Group by determining our priorities and the way we operate
as an organisation. It has organised theGroup into CSGs, Minerals Exploration, Marketing and
GroupFunctions, who work together in pursuit of Our Purpose. The role of each organisation
unit and their relationship to each other is set out in GLD.001.

Minerals Exploration

Minerals Exploration is responsible for identifying and acquiring greenfield exploration

opportunities that have the potential to be giant mineral resources; undertaking all minerals
greenfield exploration activities including target definition, target testing and post discovery
delineation; endorsing all resource and geoscience inputs into greenfield identification phase
study activities conducted by CSGs, including acquisitions.

Customer
Sector Groups

CSGs are organised on a standardised basis comprising distinct organisational units: CSG,
Asset and Operation. Each level comprises a core of common functional services that operate
according todefined roles.
CSG-level
The CSG sets strategy, grows the value of its business and governs its Assets and projects.
Asset-level
An Asset is comprised of one or more Operations in a single country and is operated by BHPBilliton.
It is the level at which we aggregate functional services. Each Asset is responsible for the provision
of functional services and integrated planning and development to its Operations. This aggregation
of work removes from the Operations allservice activities with the exception of those minimum
execution-level activities necessary for managing safety, production and cost. By doing this,
we establish deep functional capability at the Asset-level and improve our ability to plan.
Project Hubs
ProjectHubs are an operating centre for managing our pipeline of major capital projects. Project
Hubs are organised around major core products and positioned in key global locations to improve
the performance, standardisation, repeatability and effectiveness of our project delivery. This
enables the consistent application of best project practices and facilitates driving continuous
improvement in our project performance.
Operation-level
An Operation is a substantially distinct production entity operated by BHPBilliton, such as
a mine, port or group of processing or production facilities, with defined boundaries and agreed
points of handover for services and/or product. Operations execute planned work and focus on
safety, production and cost.

Marketing

Marketing manages the Group revenue line and is responsible for selling the Groups products
and for the purchase of all major raw materials; owning the supply chain from Assets to markets
and raw materials from suppliers to Assets; achieving market clearing prices for the Groups
products and zero directional price risk; and developing a single Company view of the markets.

Group Functions

Group Functions operate under a defined set of mandates and accountabilities authorised by
the GMC that specifically relate to the governance of BHPBilliton, the CEOlimits established
by the Board, and activities necessary toimprove the overall effectiveness of the Group.

Group Level
Documents

Our GLDs give effect to the mandatory requirements arising from our Operating Model as
approved by the GMC. They describe the mandatory minimum performance requirements and
accountabilities for definitive business obligations, processes, functions and activities across
BHPBilliton.

Processes

Our defined global business processes, including 1SAP, provide a standardised way of working
across the organisation. Our common processes generate reliable data, improve operating
discipline and ensure we do the basics well.

The BHP Billiton Way 7

Customer Sector Groups

Our CSGs are organised on a standardised basis, as detailed in GLD.001, to maximise the effectiveness of the Group
as a whole, and comprise a standardised core of CSG-level functions responsible for setting strategy, growing the value
of their business and for the governance and performance management of their Assets and projects.
