Owning our emissions
Our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions accounted for less than 2 per cent of total value chain greenhouse gas emissions in FY21.
We report our total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, energy produced, and energy consumed, under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2009 (NGER). Our GHG emissions are independently audited each year.

We are not required to report Scope 3 emissions under NGER. However, we believe it is important to take responsibility for influencing emissions across the value chain and this year we have undertaken a detailed analysis to estimate Scope 3 GHG emissions for the first time.
Emissions associated with the processing of our natural gas account for 9.5 per cent of our GHG emissions. However, we do not have operational control of, nor equity share in, the third-party owned facilities that process our natural gas at Roma North and Atlas. NGER categorises the emissions from these facilities as Scope 3 for Senex. As the mode of operation for these facilities has been dictated by Senex, we have elected to treat the emissions relating to these processing facilities as being part of Senex’s operational emissions. We have set our emissions reduction targets and ambition on the basis that Senex is responsible for these emissions, as they would commonly be understood to be part of our operations.
Senex has limited influence over the vast majority of its emissions profile, with 82 per cent from Scope 3 emissions related to end-use and upstream activities.
