Sharing what is and what is not working

The BHP Foundation’s approach to measurement, learning and evaluation (MLE) is driven by the belief that strategic learning through investment in measuring, learning from, and evaluating is fundamental to maximize impact, and to:

Influence action for people and planet.

Share evidence to strategically generate attention, advance thinking, influence public policy and compel others to action around priority areas.
Adaptively manage and course correct to maximize impact, influence, and scale of our work in service to an equitable and sustainable future.

Hold ourselves accountable to our stakeholders and commitments so that we enable effective decision-making, transparency, and responsibility, including around unintended consequences.

Contribute to the evidence base to substantiate the value proposition of our work, sharing learning of what is and is not working.
