Woodside Energy scores 24/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified July 2026.
That places Woodside Energy joint 719th of 807 companies scored, and 1st of 14 in Oil & Gas.
Woodside is a major fossil fuel producer with expanding LNG projects, offset-dependent emissions targets, and no absolute Scope 3 reduction plan despite combustion of sold products representing 78–90% of its footprint. Active Federal Court litigation alleges systematic greenwashing; shareholder votes have rejected its climate plan twice with record-breaking majorities. Lobbying via trade associations opposes climate regulations.
