Major BHP on Wednesday announced that it would establish a $2-million fund to support communities in proximity to its petroleum operations in North America and Trinidad and Tobago, as part of its efforts to combat Covid-19.
“BHP stands shoulder to shoulder with the communities where we operate. Our company has a critical role to play in the collective efforts to defeat this virus, and its impacts on our people and our neighbors. From the continued safe operation of our business and protecting the well-being of our people to offering our small business partners reduced payment terms and donating much needed funds to our community partners, BHP is committed to doing our part for our people, our community and our economy,” said Operations Petroleum president Geraldine Slattery.
