💨 Abstract

BHP Group and its joint venture partner Vale SA have been cleared of criminal liability in the 2015 Fundão tailings dam collapse in Brazil, according to media reports. The court found insufficient evidence to establish a causal link between the companies and the dam failure, but the ruling does not affect a separate lawsuit in the UK seeking $47 billion in damages. BHP Brasil will consider the court's decision and assess any next steps.
