World's largest miner aims for 50% female workforce by 2025
World's largest mining firm BHP Billiton has set out a target for half its workforce to be female by 2025, in a bid to boost the company's performance. The "aspirational goal" for more gender diversity would make the Anglo-Australian business more accountable, CEO Andrew Mackenzie said. Notably, women make up about 17% of BHP's staff.
