Material Issues in 2012 (continued)
AWE is addressing these issues through the implementation of various initiatives including the development of procedures to (a) improve the quality and clarity of stakeholder engagement and (b) enhance the accuracy and quantity of data collected to assist with the monitoring of key environmental and health and safety metrics.
Looking Forward
To underpin future sustainability reporting we will undertake a formal review of our sustainability policies and practices and develop strategies which will include additional measurement criteria and the creation of long term sustainability targets. Further improvements to our sustainability reporting process will also include:
- Alignment of reporting with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)* guidelines
- Moving towards an integrated reporting approach
- Expanding the reporting of information in an increasingly carbon emission conscious world
Report Scope
This sustainability report covers both AWE’s operated sites and non-operated sites. Sustainability performance data for AWE’s operated sites is collected and collated by AWE personnel. Data from the non-operated sites is prepared by the specific asset or project operator, as outlined under the joint operating agreements, and subsequently reviewed by AWE management on a regular basis. All data reported, from all AWE assets, relates to the 12 month period ended 30 June 2012.
Independent Assurance
We have obtained independent assurance from Ernst & Young over selected datasets within this report. Their assurance statement can be viewed here.
