BHP Billiton is the world’s largest diversified resources company. We are distinguished from other resource companies by the combination of the quality of our assets; our deep inventory of growth projects; our customer-focussed marketing; our diversification across countries, commodities, and markets; and our petroleum business.

As at 30 June, 2007 we had some 39,000 employees working in over 100 operations in 25 countries. Reflecting our aim to be a premier global company, we occupy industry leader or near industry leader positions in major commodity businesses, including aluminium, energy coal and metallurgical coal, copper, manganese, iron ore, uranium, nickel, silver and titanium minerals, and have substantial interests in oil, gas, liquefied natural gas and diamonds.

The central tenet of the BHP Billiton business model is that its diversified portfolio of high quality assets provides more stable cash flows and greater capacity to drive growth than the traditional resource cyclicals. In FY2007, we generated turnover of US$47.5 billion, underlying earnings before interest and tax (Underlying EBIT) of US$20.1 billion, attributable profit (excluding exceptional items) of US$13.7 billion and net operating cash flow of US$15.6 billion.
