Governance body oversight and management's role
Bodies and responsibilities (pp. 38–39). The Board has ultimate oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities (CRROs), strategy and targets, and approves the climate transition plan and material public climate targets. Responsibilities sit in the Board Charter and four committee charters: the Health, Safety and Sustainability Committee covers climate approach, targets and progress; the Audit and Risk Committee covers risk management and risk-related disclosures; the People and Remuneration Committee covers climate in remuneration; the Nominations Committee reviews the Board skills matrix for CRROs and designs director education covering climate.
Information and trade-offs (p. 39). In FY2026 the Board and committees were briefed on AASB S2 progress (November 2025, February and April 2026) and discussed CRROs (April and June 2026). In approving FY2030 Ambition 2.0 the Board weighed climate considerations against commercial, regulatory and operational factors.
Management and remuneration (p. 40). The Board delegates to the CEO; the CFO and Executive Group Director, Risk provide strategic oversight of CRROs; the Group Director, Sustainability oversees identification, integration into strategy and target progress. A Climate Reporting Standard sets roles across Sustainability, Finance, Risk and Strategy. Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions are one metric in the ESG component, which is 20% of the short term incentive business scorecard.
StrategyStrategy
Climate-related risks and opportunities
Worley identifies four CRROs that could reasonably be expected to affect its prospects (p. 41), each assessed under a 1.5°C and a >3°C scenario (pp. 42–45).
| CRRO | Type | Time horizon |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Increased demand for our sustainability-related work (p. 42) | Transition opportunity (Markets) | Short, medium, long |
| 2. Changing pace of the energy transition across markets (p. 43) | Transition risk (Markets) | Short, medium, long |
| 3. Increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events (p. 44) | Physical risk (Acute) | Short, medium, long |
| 4. Shifting climate patterns (p. 45) | Physical risk (Chronic) | Medium, long |
Time horizons (p. 41). Defined to align with the risk management framework: short term is 1 to 2 years, focused on the immediate financial planning period; medium term is 2 to 5 years, focused on the strategic business plan in line with the Ambition; long term is 5 to 10 years, focused on global trends.
Judgment (p. 57). Worley says it considered a broader range of CRROs and concluded that separate disclosure of other matters would not provide material information to users.
Business model and value chain
Business model (p. 41). Worley says CRROs influence demand for its services, the way it delivers projects and the resilience of its strategy. It provides consulting, engineering, procurement and construction across a diversified portfolio of sectors, geographies and delivery models.
Effects by CRRO (pp. 42–45).
- CRRO 1: continued revenue growth in market segments that support the energy transition, in geographies with favorable policies such as Australia, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa.
- CRRO 2: policy uncertainty in North America is slowing revenue growth in lower carbon hydrogen, carbon removal and renewable fuels; portfolio diversity has turned the risk into an opportunity in the short and medium term.
- CRRO 3: extreme weather could disrupt operations, damage fabrication yards (in Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States) and interrupt supply of materials and equipment; on-site construction is delivered globally.
- CRRO 4: sustained temperature and rainfall changes may affect people and project execution, more in construction services than fabrication yards, and disrupt suppliers and infrastructure such as power and water.
Where concentrated (pp. 42–45). Revenue aligned with CRRO 1: $8,316m (69%). Revenue vulnerable to CRRO 2: $4,657m (39%); to CRRO 3: $5,422m (45%), in prioritized locations in the United States, Canada, Australia or India; to CRRO 4: $4,926m (41%), in the United States and Morocco.
Strategy and decision-making
Climate transition plan (pp. 46–47). Two focus areas: supporting customers to decarbonize, and reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions to net zero by FY2030. Sustainability-related work rose from about 30% of the portfolio in FY2020 to 69% in FY2026 (aspiration: 75% of revenue by the end of FY2026). Scope 1 reductions came from consolidating offices and worksites, efficiency measures and fleet changes; Scope 2 reductions mostly from renewable electricity and Renewable Energy Certificates. Carbon credits are expected from FY2029 for residual emissions. The roadmap chart (p. 47) prints no values.
Assumptions and dependencies (pp. 46–47, 53). The roadmap reflects current intentions and assumptions about future business activity and decarbonization opportunities. Most remaining Scope 1 emissions are difficult or disproportionately expensive to abate, and some residual Scope 2 is expected where renewable energy access is limited. Targets are subject to the external operating environment and market conditions.
Responses and resourcing (pp. 42–45). Direct and indirect efforts are set out for each CRRO, for example business continuity and emergency response through R3 and HSE (CRRO 3). Resourcing is named per CRRO (Sustainability, Growth, R3 and HSE functions). No capital was directly deployed against any CRRO in FY2026; over five years the strategy included $100m invested over three years to organically grow capabilities (p. 42).
Financial position, financial performance and cash flows
Approach (p. 41). Current effects are those recognized in the FY2026 consolidated financial statements. The report says CRROs are not expected to result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period. Anticipated effects are assessed against the internal business plan (base case), with sensitivities under the 1.5°C and >3°C scenarios given for each CRRO, and are expressed as ranges, mainly as changes in aggregated revenue. EBITA, cash flow and net assets are expected to change in proportion to revenue. The report says quantitative disclosures focus on the short to medium term, with longer-term impacts described qualitatively only. Impact ratings: Insignificant below $10m; Minor $10m to $100m; Moderate $100m to $500m; Major $500m to $2b; Critical $2b to $5b.
| CRRO | Current effect, FY2026 | Anticipated effect on revenue |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (p. 42) | $1,042m, reflecting growth in sustainability-related revenue compared to FY2025 | Major increase, short and medium term; long term not modeled |
| 2 (p. 43) | $990m reduction in backlog revenue attributed to FY2026, partly offset by growth elsewhere | Major increase, short and medium term; long term not modeled |
| 3 (p. 44) | Insignificant | Moderate decline from acute events, short to long term |
| 4 (p. 45) | Insignificant | Moderate decline, medium and long term |
Climate resilience and scenario analysis
How the analysis was done (pp. 48–49). Scenario analysis was performed in FY2026 as a standalone assessment, applied across the business model and value chain over the defined time horizons and focused on the most strategically and financially significant parts of the portfolio.
| Scenario | External inputs | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5°C | International Energy Agency (IEA) Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE); IPCC SSP1-1.9 and SSP1-2.6; NGFS Net-zero 2050 | Transition CRROs |
| >3°C | IEA Current Policies Scenario (CPS); IPCC SSP3-7.0; NGFS Current Policies | Transition and physical CRROs (prioritized locations) |
Each scenario sets out pace of transition, physical impacts, energy mix, technology and sector outputs.
Resilience (p. 50). Worley says its diversified portfolio underpins resilience: under 1.5°C declining oil and gas revenues are offset by growth in hydrogen, power and energy transition materials; under >3°C oil and gas revenue remains a strong contributor. Capacity to adapt rests on diversification, flexible delivery models, resource reallocation, an annual strategy process, capital discipline, redeployable skills and targeted investment in climate solutions.
Caveats (pp. 48, 58). The outcomes were not formally integrated into strategy development in FY2026, although the report says strategy is informed by climate-related issues. Scenario outputs are directional and are not commitments.
Risk ManagementRisk Management
Processes for identifying, assessing and managing climate-related risks
Framework (p. 51). The Sustainability team stewards the CRRO process, based on the Risk Management Standard and the Internal Risk Register, aligned with ISO 31000:2018, with roles framed around the Institute of Internal Auditors' Three Lines Model. The CRRO register is reviewed and updated each year: prior-year CRROs are refined, new ones added, and in FY2026 a targeted stakeholder engagement approach was used to refine and validate them.
Identify and assess (p. 51). Context is set each year; scenarios and time horizons are central parameters, and the scope covers all Group entities and activities including Joint Ventures. CRROs are identified through leadership insight, frontline teams, subject matter experts and workshops, then assessed qualitatively on consequence and likelihood scales across financial and non-financial impacts.
Prioritize, monitor, integrate (p. 51). CRROs rated high or very high go to financial effects modeling; high-priority CRROs are escalated to senior management and material ones to the Board. Outcomes feed Group risk reporting, where CRROs are compared with other business risks and opportunities, and inform resource allocation and financial planning. The Sustainability function monitors ratings, mitigation progress and modeling throughout the year. The process covers opportunities as well as risks.
Metrics & TargetsMetrics and Targets
Climate-related metrics
Greenhouse gas emissions, FY2026 (p. 52). Reported gross, excluding carbon credits.
| Emissions | tCO2e |
|---|---|
| Scope 1: consolidated accounting group | 21,597 |
| Scope 1: other investees | 170 |
| Total Scope 1 | 21,767 |
| Scope 2 (location-based): consolidated accounting group | 27,090 |
| Scope 2 (location-based): other investees | 1,032 |
| Total Scope 2 (location-based) | 28,122 |
| Total Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) | 49,889 |
| Scope 2 (market-based): consolidated accounting group | 848 |
| Scope 2 (market-based): other investees | 293 |
| Total Scope 2 (market-based) | 1,141 |
| Total Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) | 22,908 |
Methods (pp. 55–56): Greenhouse Gas Protocol, operational control basis; about 89% of Scope 1 and 87% of Scope 2 (location-based) emissions were calculated from actual data.
Other metrics (pp. 40, 42–45, 52). Revenue aligned with CRRO 1 is $8,316m (69%); revenue vulnerable to CRROs 2, 3 and 4 is $4,657m (39%), $5,422m (45%) and $4,926m (41%). No capital was directly deployed against any CRRO in FY2026. Indicative carbon price ranges support decarbonization activities, referencing external prices of $0-200 per tCO2e; no single, consistent internal carbon price is applied to decisions such as capital allocation, transfer pricing or scenario analysis. Remuneration is described under Governance (p. 40).
Climate-related targets
Targets (p. 53).
| Target | Objective | FY2026 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by FY2030 (absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based emissions used to set and monitor) | Per the strategic objective to decarbonize the business | 22,908 tCO2e | In progress; 76% reduction from our FY2020 baseline |
| Improve energy productivity by 25% by FY2030 from an FY2020 baseline of $42.6m revenue / GWh | Improve energy productivity | $64.0m revenue/GWh; 51% improvement from baseline | Complete |
Targets apply to the Worley Group, were guided by the global goals of the Paris Agreement, are not based on a sectoral decarbonization approach and have not been externally validated. The Board approves them and management reviews them at least annually. The Scope 1 and Scope 2 targets were not revised in FY2026; the FY2020 energy productivity baseline was recalculated after a boundary update.
Carbon credits (pp. 46–47, 53). Worley expects to reduce emissions by at least 75% from the FY2020 baseline and to offset any remaining FY2030 emissions with carbon credits, expected from FY2029. Credits will be selected to meet recognized quality criteria, including additionality, permanence, and avoidance of leakage and double counting; formal criteria for credit types and verification or certification scheme(s) are still being developed.
Scope 3 (p. 53). Net zero is an aspiration, not a target, with no measurable milestones.
