Ampol describes an extensive sustainability governance structure, noting that progress against its Sustainability Plan is “overseen by the Ampol Leadership Team and the Board’s Safety and Sustainability Committee,” and it affirms that it “works closely with all levels of government to not only inform them of the objectives of our Future Energy and Decarbonisation Strategies, but to also explore partnership and knowledge sharing opportunities,” including “making policy submissions and engaging with government where relevant,” and will continue “advocating for policies that support an orderly transition to a net zero economy.” However, the company does not disclose any formal governance framework specifically for its lobbying activities—there is no mention of a responsible lobbying policy or a defined sign-off or review process for either its direct advocacy or its engagement through trade associations. We found no evidence of a designated individual or committee tasked with overseeing or aligning lobbying efforts with its climate commitments, nor any criteria for assessing its participation in industry bodies. In the absence of any dedicated lobbying-governance disclosures, Ampol’s approach to policy engagement lacks transparency and clear accountability with respect to its climate-related lobbying.

Ampol provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It does name one identifiable policy engagement – the Federal Government’s reforms to the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Safeguard Mechanism) Rule 2015 – stating that "We are supportive of the Government’s changes to the Safeguard Mechanism" and acknowledging the operational implications of the revised fuel standards. Beyond this single example, references to other topics such as fuel-emissions standards or mandatory disclosure regimes are too general to count as clearly disclosed policy engagements. The company hints at how it tries to influence policy, mentioning activities such as "making policy submissions" and an intention to "work with the Government as the reforms progress," and noting advocacy through industry networks such as the Climate Leaders Coalition, but it does not spell out whether this occurs via formal consultations, letters, meetings, or other specific channels, nor does it identify individual government departments or officials it targets. Likewise, Ampol expresses only broad aspirations—supporting an “orderly transition to a net-zero economy” and “driving down national transport emissions”—without specifying the concrete legislative amendments, regulatory levels, or timelines it is seeking. As a result, its disclosures convey a general intent to advocate on climate policy but fall short of providing detailed transparency on the policies lobbied, the mechanisms employed, and the outcomes sought.
