Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Worley provides a moderate level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It identifies two distinct policy processes it has acted on, noting that it “provided a submission in response to the Australian Federal Government’s ‘Offshore clean energy infrastructure regulatory framework’ discussion paper” and that “in June 2020 we provided a submission in response to the Australian Federal Government Low Emissions Technology Roadmap.” The company also explains how it engaged – written submissions to federal consultations and participation in Australian government workshops – and names the Australian Federal Government as the policymaking target, giving readers a reasonable view of its lobbying channels and audiences. However, beyond indicating that its recommendations sought the “implementation of large-scale renewables, integration of hydrogen, and moving to a circular economy,” Worley does not spell out concrete legislative amendments, numerical targets or other specific outcomes it hopes regulators will adopt. As a result, while the company discloses the main policies and mechanisms it uses, the detail on the precise policy changes it is advocating remains limited.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Worley Ltd provides a public position statement and affirms that it conducts its policy engagement “in line with our overall climate change strategy and our commitment to be aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” reflecting a clear intent to align lobbying with climate objectives. The company also describes broad climate oversight, noting that “the Board has ultimate responsibility for the control of the Group” and that its Health, Safety and Sustainability Committee “oversees our climate change approach and approving associated disclosures.” However, Worley Ltd does not disclose any dedicated process for reviewing or managing its direct and indirect lobbying activities, nor does it identify a specific individual or formal body responsible for overseeing alignment of lobbying with its climate goals, and we found no evidence of a review or audit mechanism for its engagement activities beyond high-level committee oversight.	1
