Bold ambitions
We live at an unprecedented time in the history of humanity. Whilst the last century has delivered extrordinary human progress, more than one billion people continue to live in poverty, and the natural systems our common future depends upon are under unparalled stress. The decisions we make and actions we take now, will have implications for the sustainability of the planet and our shared quality of life for centuries to come.
We therefore have a choice. To lean into solving these unprecedented challenges with bold new solutions, or continue with incremental ‘business as usual’ change knowing this will not deliver the speed and scale of transformation required.
At the BHP Foundation we have made our choice. We are leaning in by pursuing difficult issues; partnering with others to pioneer new solutions which, if successful, will become transformational game-changers; and sharing insights and evidence to enable solutions that are successful to be sustained, scaled and mainstreamed.
