Our material sustainability topics

In FY2026, we updated our material sustainability topics by completing a double materiality assessment based on the topics set out in the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). Our assessment considered a range of stakeholder views to prioritize environmental, social and governance topics, considering both the effects of ESG matters on our business and the impacts of our activities on people, society and the environment.

How we define sustainability work

We categorize our sustainability-related work as the sum of our sustainable work and transitional work. We use the combination of market segment and solution to determine how we categorize our work. We refer to all work falling outside of the sustainability-related grouping (sustainable and transitional) as traditional.

Diagram showing how Worley defines sustainability‑related work across traditional, transitional and sustainable market segments and solutions.

Examples include:

  1. oil, chemicals, petrochemicals, refined fuels and traditional technologies for bulk commodities
  2. integrated gas, waste to energy (gasification) and waste to chemicals (pyrolysis)
  3. hydrogen (blue, green), renewable energy, energy transition materials, crop nutrients, direct air capture (DAC), networks and energy storage, nuclear energy, low carbon fuels, and water.
  4. core offerings, such as process plants, pipelines, mine development, offshore and subsea structures, facilities, terminals, and tailings dams.
  5. offerings that seek to improve sustainability outcomes, such as recycling, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), electrification and energy efficiency, and desalination.
