"Our Requirements – Community standard, available at http://www.bhpbilliton.com/aboutus/ourcompany/governance, requires all BHP Billiton assets to identify and document key potential human rights risks by having completed a Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA), which is reviewed whenever there are changes in operating context

that may affect the impact profile. Each HRIA is required to be verified every three years through an engagement process with

stakeholders. In medium and high-risk jurisdictions, the HRIA must also be validated every three years with a qualified human

rights specialist."
