The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) <a href=\"https:\/\/productiongap.org\/2021report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has also confirmed<\/a> that limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C in line with the Paris Agreement means \u201cglobal fossil fuel production must start declining immediately and steeply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is abundantly clear that achieving these climate goals and a stable climate future leaves no room for the expansion of the oil and gas industry. Despite this, Woodside is pursuing massive new oil and gas projects consistent with the failure of these goals, such as the massive and highly controversial Scarborough gas project. Many Australian financial institutions continue to support Woodside and its climate-wrecking projects.<\/p>\n<p>Almost every super fund in Australia invests members\u2019 retirement savings in Woodside, and at least 27 Australian and international banks\u2014including ANZ and Westpac\u2014have provided finance to the company since 2018. Many of these financial institutions claim to support the Paris Agreement and net zero emissions by 2050, yet continue to support a company pursuing plans consistent with the failure of these goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Woodside is undermining a stable climate future by pursuing new oil and gas projects. Our super funds and banks must stop investing in Woodside and its climate-wrecking projects and plans now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;#woodside-super&#8221;

Woodside and Santos by publicly demanding an end to their fossil fuel expansion plans and divesting from these companies should they fail to comply.\n\nNew analysis has revealed that the default investment options of Australia\u2019s 30 largest super funds collectively own 8% of Woodside\u2019s shares and 9% of Santos\u2019 shares.[1] While some funds have been using their investments to vote for climate action at these companies\u2019 annual general meetings (AGMs), many have let Santos and Woodside continue to get away with their dirty and destructive plans.\n\nWoodside and Santos are hell-bent on expanding oil and gas, shrugging off dire warnings from climate scientists and ignoring the community\u2018s demands for a safe climate future. Yet many super funds are pouring more money into these climate wreckers and failing to use their leverage as investors to demand and deliver an end to their rampant fossil fuel expansion plans.\n\nAfter a record 49% of investors voted against Woodside\u2019s climate plan in 2022 and an unprecedented 35% of investors voted against the re-election of Woodside director Ian Macfarlane this year, the company has clearly failed to respond to investor calls for a more ambitious climate strategy and is instead pushing ahead with a new oil field in the Gulf of Mexico. Similarly, a 37% vote against Santos\u2019 climate plan in 2022 followed by 18% of investors telling Santos to ditch its oil and gas expansion plans this year has not deterred Santos from pursuing those reckless plans.\n\nBoth Woodside and Santos are aiming to significantly ramp up oil and gas production this decade, which would see Woodside\u2019s emissions increase by 40% by 2027 and Santos\u2019 emissions increase by 40% by 2030, even assuming the full implementation of these companies\u2019 utterly inadequate emissions reduction targets.[2] Urgent emissions reduction efforts are required to meet global climate goals such as net zero by 2050 and the 1.5\u00b0C goal of the Paris Agreement, and any company with plans to expand the scale of the fossil fuel industry is out of line with these goals.\n\nIt is clear that investor engagement is currently failing to rein in the expansion plans of companies like Woodside and Santos, and urgent escalation measures are now needed to demonstrate consequences to these companies for continuing to push ahead with their climate-wrecking projects.\n\n[1] https:\/\/marketforces.org.au\/super-funds-investments-voting-woodside-santos-analysis-2023\/\n[2] https:\/\/www.marketforces.org.au\/investors\/investor-briefing-woodside-santos-march-2023\/\n\nSincerely,<\/textarea><\/div><\/li><li id=\"field_598_156\" class=\"gfield gfield--type-section gsection field_sublabel_below gfield--no-description field_description_below field_validation_below gfield_visibility_hidden\"  ><div class=\"admin-hidden-markup\"><i class=\"gform-icon gform-icon--hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\" title=\"This field is hidden when viewing the form\"><\/i><span>This field is hidden when viewing the form<\/span><\/div><h2 class=\"gsection_title\">Active Super<\/h2><\/li><li id=\"field_598_155\" class=\"gfield gfield--type-text gfield--width-full field_sublabel_below gfield--has-description field_description_above field_validation_below gfield_visibility_visible\"  ><label class='gfield_label gform-field-label' for='input_598_155'>Subject<\/label><div class='gfield_description' id='gfield_description_598_155'>(You can edit this)<\/div><div class='ginput_container ginput_container_text'><input name='input_155' id='input_598_155' type='text' value='Good job voting against Woodside management this year, but further action must be urgently taken' class='large'  aria-describedby=\"gfield_description_598_155\"    aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/><\/div><\/li><li id=\"field_598_168\" class=\"gfield gfield--type-textarea gfield--width-full gfield_contains_required field_sublabel_below gfield--has-description field_description_above field_validation_below gfield_visibility_visible\"  ><label class='gfield_label gform-field-label' for='input_598_168'>Your message to your super fund<span class=\"gfield_required\"><span class=\"gfield_required gfield_required_asterisk\">*<\/span><\/span><\/label><div class='gfield_description' id='gfield_description_598_168'>(Your name will be added automatically)<\/div><div class='ginput_container ginput_container_textarea'><textarea name='input_168' id='input_598_168' class='textarea large'  aria-describedby=\"gfield_description_598_168\"   aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\"   rows='10' cols='50'>To Active Super,\n\nAs an Active Super member, I am writing to demand that the fund immediately escalates pressure on Woodside and Santos by publicly demanding an end to their fossil fuel expansion plans and divesting from these companies should they fail to comply.\n\nNew analysis has identified that Active Super voted against the re-election of three directors at Woodside\u2019s annual general meeting (AGM) this year.[1] While this is a good step forward, Woodside has failed to respond to this pressure and urgent action is now needed to prevent this climate wrecker from continuing to pursue its oil and gas expansion plans.\n\nWhile it was disappointing to see Active Super voting in line with Santos management at the company\u2019s AGM this year, it is pleasing to see that the fund\u2019s default option has halved its investments in this climate wrecker in 2022.\n\nAfter a record 49% of investors voted against Woodside\u2019s climate plan in 2022 and an unprecedented 35% of investors \u2013 including Active Super \u2013 voted against the re-election of Woodside director Ian Macfarlane this year, the company has clearly ignored investor calls for a more ambitious climate strategy and is instead pushing ahead with a new oil field in the Gulf of Mexico.

The fund must take immediate action to rectify this by publicly demanding an end to Woodside\u2019s oil and gas expansion plans and divest from this company should it fail to comply.\n\nNew analysis has identified that AustralianSuper bought tens of millions of shares in Woodside in 2022, yet failed to use this increased leverage to vote for climate action at Woodside\u2019s AGM this year.[1] AustralianSuper has been identified as the only fund that voted against Woodside\u2019s climate plan in 2022 but disclosed no votes against management in 2023.\n\nAn unprecedented 35% of investors voted against the re-election of Woodside director Ian Macfarlane this year, yet AustralianSuper threw its full support behind Woodside\u2019s board. By doing so, AustralianSuper has signalled its tacit approval of the company\u2019s oil and gas expansion strategy. Woodside has since decided to proceed with a dirty new oil field that is expected to cause 215 million tonnes of carbon emissions over its lifetime, equivalent to almost half of Australia\u2019s annual emissions.[2]\n\nBoth Woodside and Santos are aiming to significantly ramp up oil and gas production this decade, which would see Woodside\u2019s emissions increase by 40% by 2027 and Santos\u2019 emissions increase by 40% by 2030, even assuming the full implementation of these companies\u2019 utterly inadequate emissions reduction targets.[3] Urgent emissions reduction efforts are required to meet global climate goals such as net zero by 2050 and the 1.5\u00b0C goal of the Paris Agreement, and any company with plans to expand the scale of the fossil fuel industry is out of line with these goals.\n\nAustralianSuper must demand and deliver an end to the expansion plans of Woodside and Santos in line with the fund\u2019s own commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 and support for the Paris climate goals.\n\nI look forward to a resolution to my complaint within two weeks.\n\n[1] https:\/\/marketforces.org.au\/super-funds-investments-voting-woodside-santos-analysis-2023\/\n[2] https:\/\/www.marketforces.org.au\/woodside-trion-oil-field-final-investment-decision\/\n[3] https:\/\/www.marketforces.org.au\/investors\/investor-briefing-woodside-santos-march-2023\/\n\nSincerely,<\/textarea><\/div><\/li><li id=\"field_598_171\" class=\"gfield gfield--type-section gsection field_sublabel_below gfield--no-description field_description_below field_validation_below gfield_visibility_hidden\"  ><div class=\"admin-hidden-markup\"><i class=\"gform-icon gform-icon--hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\" title=\"This field is hidden when viewing the form\"><\/i><span>This field is hidden when viewing the form<\/span><\/div><h2 class=\"gsection_title\">Aware Super<\/h2><\/li><li id=\"field_598_152\" class=\"gfield gfield--type-text gfield--width-full field_sublabel_below gfield--has-description field_description_above field_validation_below gfield_visibility_visible\"  ><label class='gfield_label gform-field-label' for='input_598_152'>Subject<\/label><div class='gfield_description' id='gfield_description_598_152'>(You can edit this)<\/div><div class='ginput_container ginput_container_text'><input name='input_152' id='input_598_152' type='text' value='Good job voting against Woodside and Santos management this year, but further action must be urgently taken' class='large'  aria-describedby=\"gfield_description_598_152\"    aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/><\/div><\/li><li id=\"field_598_165\" class=\"gfield gfield--type-textarea gfield--width-full gfield_contains_required field_sublabel_below gfield--has-description field_description_above field_validation_below gfield_visibility_visible\"  ><label class='gfield_label gform-field-label' for='input_598_165'>Your message to your super fund<span class=\"gfield_required\"><span class=\"gfield_required gfield_required_asterisk\">*<\/span><\/span><\/label><div class='gfield_description' id='gfield_description_598_165'>(Your name will be added automatically)<\/div><div class='ginput_container ginput_container_textarea'><textarea name='input_165' id='input_598_165' class='textarea large'  aria-describedby=\"gfield_description_598_165\"   aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\"   rows='10' cols='50'>To Aware Super,\n\nAs an Aware Super member, I am writing to demand that the fund immediately escalates pressure on Woodside and Santos by publicly demanding an end to their fossil fuel expansion plans and divesting from these companies should they fail to comply.\n\nNew analysis has identified that Aware Super voted against the re-election of three directors at Woodside\u2019s annual general meeting (AGM) this year, as well as against the re-election of company director Yasmin Allen and the remuneration report at Santos.[1] While this is a good step forward, Woodside and Santos have failed to respond to this pressure and urgent action is now needed to prevent these climate wreckers from continuing to pursue their oil and gas expansion plans.\n\nAfter a record 49% of investors voted against Woodside\u2019s climate plan in 2022 and an unprecedented 35% of investors \u2013 including Aware Super \u2013 voted against the re-election of Woodside director Ian Macfarlane this year, the company has clearly ignored investor calls for a more ambitious climate strategy and is instead pushing ahead with a new oil field in the Gulf of Mexico.

Australian super fund invests in Woodside, using members\u2019 retirement savings to support its climate-wrecking projects and plans.<\/strong> A handful of super funds have either substantially divested from, have some form of exclusion on, or have plans to phase out oil and gas producers, meaning that we are starting to see a trickle of divestment from Woodside. However, this divestment is not happening at the scale nor pace commensurate with the climate crisis we face, and all super funds need to exclude companies like Woodside from their portfolios altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Of Australia\u2019s biggest 30 super funds by assets under management (AUM), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketforces.org.au\/superfunds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only one<\/a> has implemented an exclusion on oil and gas producers, meaning the rest of these funds are using members\u2019 retirement savings to support Woodside\u2019s massive expansion plans. Worse still, several super funds have voted against shareholder proposals calling on Woodside to wind up its oil and gas production in line with the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>We have also calculated and presented the below funds\u2019 investments in Woodside as a proportion of each fund\u2019s total allocation to Australian listed equities (shares listed on the Australian stock market), as this allows for direct comparison between funds. Other data points, such as investment exposure as a proportion of the total fund, or dollar value of investments in these companies are incomparable because funds have different allocations to Australian listed equities and different amounts of money in the investment pool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Has your super fund failed to rule out investment in Woodside?

Further to these APRA-regulated funds, our analysis includes any state-regulated funds with AUM large enough to be included in the top 30 list.<\/p>\n<p>Where mergers between super funds have occurred since June 2022, the single merged entity is listed on the table and occupies only one position on the table, unless the merged funds were found to have clearly separate default options with different investments.<\/p>\n<p>The final analysis pertains to 30 funds. HUB24, Netwealth and Macquarie were excluded as they do not appear to have default investment options comparable to the rest of those captured in the study.<\/p>\n<p><span>Portfolio holdings disclosures were collected for the final 30 superannuation fund options (see sources below). These holdings were filtered for Australian listed equities, and each option\u2019s investments in Woodside were identified.

This company is pursuing business plans consistent with the failure of the Paris Agreement and net zero by 2050, and has clearly proven itself incapable of aligning with these goals and unwilling to do so.\n\nAccording to the International Energy Agency (IEA), reaching net zero emissions by 2050 means no new oil and gas production can proceed.[1] The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has also confirmed that limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C in line with the Paris Agreement means \u201cglobal fossil fuel production must start declining immediately and steeply.\u201d[2]\n\nIt is abundantly clear that achieving these climate goals and a stable climate future leaves no room for the expansion of the oil and gas industry. Despite this, Woodside is pursuing massive new oil and gas projects consistent with the failure of these goals. Independent analysis has concluded that Woodside\u2019s Scarborough-Pluto project \u201c...represents a bet against the world implementing the Paris Agreement.\u201d[3] Providing finance to this company (or failing to rule out future finance) is inexcusable.\n\nWoodside has clearly failed to step into line with the Paris Agreement and net zero by 2050. In fact, Woodside has been continuing to claim that increasing LNG exports would reduce global emissions by displacing coal in Asia, while keeping hidden a report that contradicted this claim.[4] I therefore demand that you immediately and publicly rule out future finance for Woodside, and all other companies expanding the scale of the fossil fuel industry.\n\n[1]

oil and gas projects consistent with the failure of the Paris Agreement, including the monstrous Scarborough gas field off the coast of Western Australia (WA), and the associated Pluto Train 2 liquified natural gas (LNG) processing plant. In late 2021, the company also agreed to take over BHP\u2019s entire petroleum business, which would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketforces.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-03-STO-WPL-investor-briefing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">roughly double<\/a> Woodside\u2019s oil and gas production capacity and make it a global top ten independent oil and gas company. This takeover will be voted on at the company\u2019s 2021 annual general meeting (AGM), and, if it goes ahead, this means Woodside could be spending around $26 billion on expansionary oil and gas projects by 2030 that are incompatible with the Paris climate goals.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the <a href=\"https:\/\/productiongap.org\/2021report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">urgent need<\/a> for fossil fuel production to begin declining in line with global climate goals, Woodside plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketforces.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-03-STO-WPL-investor-briefing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">significantly increase<\/a> the combined total of Woodside and BHP\u2019s oil and gas production over the next five years. Beyond clearly contravening the IEA\u2019s key conclusion that there is no room for new oil and gas production projects in the pathway to net zero emissions by 2050, a number of independent analyses of new oil and gas production projects being pursued by Woodside reveals how significantly out of line they are with global climate goals. Carbon tracker, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/carbontracker.org\/reports\/australian-oil-and-gas-mergers-exposing-the-weakness-of-company-transition-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has found<\/a> that Woodside\u2019s proposed Pluto Train 2 facility is not even financially competitive in a catastrophic 2.7\u00b0C global warming scenario, let alone in a world where we achieve the 1.5\u00b0C goal of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_tabs _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; tab_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; tab_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; tab_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;Scarborough-Pluto&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Woodside plans to develop one of the most polluting projects Australia has ever seen: the massive Scarborough gas field off the coast of WA and its associated LNG processing facility, Pluto Train 2.<\/p>\n<p>Woodside\u2019s proposed Scarborough gas and Pluto LNG project could result in the emissions equivalent of <a href=\"https:\/\/d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net\/ccwa\/pages\/1\/attachments\/original\/1622622008\/Why_the_Scarborough_LNG_development_cannot_proceed_web_final.pdf?1622622008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15 coal-fired power stations<\/a> running for 30 years, threaten to accelerate degradation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theage.com.au\/business\/companies\/pilbara-rock-art-custodians-want-wa-government-woodside-to-hit-pause-on-burrup-projects-20220323-p5a75h.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Murujuga rock art<\/a> (proposed for World Heritage listing) due to industrial emissions, and would also cause significant impacts to the local marine environment. <a href=\"https:\/\/climateanalytics.org\/media\/climateanalytics_scarboroughpluto_dec2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independent analysis<\/a> has concluded the Scarborough-Pluto combined project \u201c\u2026represents a bet against the world implementing the Paris Agreement\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marketforces.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Pluto-Plant-scaled.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 70%; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"Gas flaring at Woodside\u2019s Pluto LNG processing facility.
