We work 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. This includes monitoring of policy developments, like the introduction of the safeguard mechanism, fuel emissions standards and mandatory climate disclosure regimes in both Australia and New Zealand and making policy submissions and engaging with government where relevant. Ampol continues to monitor climate-related policy and regulatory developments and assesses implications for the business, including incoming mandatory climate disclosure requirements for both Australia and New Zealand.

Within this plan, we outline the initiatives to be implemented throughout the year as well as the metrics required to help us measure successful performance.
