About Ampol
From the Leadership team
Message from the Managing Director and CEO and Safety and Sustainability Committee Chair
2020 was a year like no other. With bushfires and then COVID-19, it has been a time where we needed to focus on what matters most to support our customers, our people and the community in all regions we operate in. We have been steadfast in our resolve to keep our people and customers healthy and safe and to provide the essential fuels and services that keep our economy moving. We acknowledge and thank our people for the great care they have taken throughout the year, stepping up to keep themselves, our customers and the communities where we operate safe and well.
Safety
The health and safety of our people and customers remains our highest priority. Pleasingly, our safety performance has improved over the year, with a drop in TRIFR from 10.7 in 2019 to 4.6 for Fuels and Infrastructure, including during a time of heightened risk at Lytton refinery over an extended Turnaround and Inspection period. Safety performance across our retail networks has also improved with TRIFR dropping from 14.0 in 2019 to 10.1 in 2020 due to our relentless safety culture focus.
We acknowledge that there is no room for complacency, and we remain committed to continuously improving on our safety performance.
Climate change and energy transition
We have been preparing a Future Energy and Decarbonisation Strategy which we will be proud to announce to the market in May 2021. The Strategy will include our operational carbon targets and will set out our future focus areas to transition with our customers and meet their lower emission energy needs.
During the year we built on our Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) work, undertaking climate scenario analysis to better understand how Australia’s energy mix may evolve out to 2050. Outcomes of this work will be found in our Future Energy and Decarbonisation Strategy, soon to be available on the Ampol website.
Protecting the environment
During the year we have continued delivery of our group-wide environmental governance framework with the objective of aligning all our business operations with the ISO 14001:2015 standards. A particular focus for the year has been on enhancing the capture and reporting of environmental performance data across our business in order to better understand and respond to the environmental risks associated with our operations. We remain focused on managing and mitigating impacts through the integration of environmental management into our operational culture.
Supporting communities
Our revitalisation as Ampol has renewed our focus on communities in 2020 and provided an opportunity to ensure our activities have proven social impact, make a meaningful difference and align with our new company purpose of Powering better journeys, today and tomorrow. In 2020, we relaunched our Ampol Foundation which is aimed at supporting better access to education and employment opportunities for young Australians.
We were delighted to announce a flagship partnership with The Smith Family, which will help young Australians in need to succeed at school, so they can create better futures for themselves. We also launched a new partnership with Surf Life Saving Australia, to help deliver safer beaches and save lives and extended our long-term relationships with the Clontarf Foundation and Stars Foundation. Through these partnerships, and the Ampol Best All Rounder award, we support the education of more than 12,080 children across Australia.
Looking forward
The Board together with Ampol’s management team remain committed to sustainability. We are making good progress, but recognise there is more we need to do to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders and fulfill our purpose of Powering better journeys, today and tomorrow.
We welcome feedback on our sustainability reporting and performance. Please email us at [email protected]

Our business
About Ampol
We operate a portfolio of assets including 12 terminals, five major pipelines, 89 depots, a branded retail network with over 1,900 sites nationwide and a refinery in Queensland. We also have presence in the New Zealand fuels markets as the owner of Gull New Zealand and a 20% equity interest in Seaoil in the Philippines.
Our rebrand to Ampol has provided us with a unique opportunity to redefine who we are as a company and what we stand for. We will continue to promote the qualities that we have long been known for: safe and reliable supply and leadership in premium fuels and convenience, while leveraging our unique position as the largest Australian owned and fully independent fuel brand in the market to positively contribute wherever we operate. We are progressing the rebrand of retail sites over to the Ampol brand with this scheduled to be completed by mid 2022.
For further information on Ampol’s purpose and strategy, refer to the 2020 Annual Report available here.
Powering better journeys, today and tomorrow
This year we launched our new company purpose – Powering better journeys, today and tomorrow – which means focusing on delivering sustainable value for our shareholders, our customers, our people and the communities within which we operate. Underpinning our purpose is our corporate strategy framed by three pillars and utilising our key strengths including our strategic assets, deep customer base and supply chain expertise:
Enhance

Through new formats, products, technology and services, we are redefining what convenience means for Australians. Our national network of 708 controlled sites delivers customers a premium fuel and card offer through Amplify and AmpolCard, with a growing convenience offer that is unparalleled in the Australian market.
With capability and scale across the transport fuels supply chain, we are the market leader in Australia and an emerging player in the Asian region.
Our capability in product sourcing, peerless infrastructure and network assets, coupled with our deep customer relationships, allows us to run an integrated business and to drive value from international sourcing through to wholesale supply of fuels and lubricants.
Over recent years, we have evolved our convenience offer to meet the changing needs of customers and to capture the growing market opportunity. This includes the introduction of our Foodary and Ampol Woolworths Metro formats, and partnerships with Uber Eats as well as quick service restaurant (QSR) partners such as Boost and Guzman y Gomez.
In a competitive and evolving market, Fuels and Infrastructure has transitioned successfully over the past five years from a single market supply function to a longterm growth engine that has delivered increased volumes, capabilities and geographies.

Identifying and managing risk
We recognise that we are exposed to a range of strategic, operational, regulatory, compliance, socio-political and financial risks associated with operating our business. To appropriately and effectively manage risk, we have an enterprise risk management framework in place, supported by a three lines of defence governance structure that aligns with the ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management standard and the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations .
The Ampol Board oversees our enterprise risk management framework and is responsible for satisfying itself that management has developed and is implementing an effective risk management system. A summary of Ampol’s material business risks and their mitigation plans are set out in the 2020 Annual Report.
2020 Sustainability performance
==> picture [356 x 235] intentionally omitted <==
In our 2019 Sustainability Report we set annual public commitments to support the delivery of our Sustainability Strategy. Internally, we prepared a corresponding program of work to support the achievement of these commitments, with progress overseen by the Ampol Leadership Team and the Board’s Safety and Sustainability Committee.
This year we have achieved or made good progress against the 19 commitments we set ourselves in 2019, some of which are medium term in nature and therefore progress is ongoing. Due to COVID-related impacts on our business we decided to delay two commitments until 2021.

2020 Safety performance Fuels and Infrastructure
During the year Fuels and Infrastructure have seen a 60% reduction in recordable injuries and a 70% reduction in days away from work injuries. The results reflect a concerted effort and
focus through targeted strategies and fit for purpose initiatives and campaigns led by management, supervisors and embraced by frontline teams. These results were achieved during a period of disruption due to COVID-19 and an extended Turnaround and Inspection shutdown at the refinery which is recognised as a time of enhanced risk.
Specific actions during the year included campaigns focussed on manual handling and the prevention of slips, trips and falls together with the introduction of physiotherapy triage. Leaders took an active role in reinforcing behavioural observations and in promoting use of the Ampol tools to prevent loss and keep everyone safe. This included the development of a manual handling observation and working with key carriers and contractors to train and develop the skills in using the common tools.
Convenience Retail
In Convenience Retail, we continued to work towards improving our safety culture with a focus on reducing the number of safety incidents and unsafe behaviours, whilst improving safety leadership engagement at our sites. We have seen an overall improvement of the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) since 2019, achieving 10.1 for the period (reflecting a 28% reduction since last year) which was below the internal target we set ourselves.
The number of recordable injuries reduced from 2019, with injuries being predominantly lower consequence in nature. The majority of incidents related to slips and trips, falls and manual tasks occurring when people were performing everyday tasks, highlighting the criticality of safety culture. Specific actions that occurred throughout the year included:
-
Continued Safety Leadership inspections from our senior management driving appropriate safety behaviours and positive culture within our store teams
-
Roll out of a Safety Blackspot Program throughout our Convenience Retail network with a focus on areas of high frequency incidents
-
Updated procedures and basic equipment review within our Kitchen Sites to assist in a reduction of burn and laceration incidents
-
Simplification of processes to enhanced safety controls and reduce frequency of manual handling
-
Implementation of a security risk framework remediation plan to strengthen security controls
Regrettably, a team member within Convenience Retail was involved in a Category 2 safety incident and sustained a crush injury to his finger whilst assisting a customer with a flat tyre. A full investigation of the incident was undertaken and although the incident causation came from our team wanting to make a positive difference for our customer, our policy stipulates that our people are not to provide mechanical assessments or assistance. Consequently, we issued a Hazard Alert to all stores nationally to remind our people of this and prevent any repeat of incidents of this nature occurring again.

We also launched our Wellbeing Hub during this month, providing our people with a wealth of resources and information to take care of their wellbeing. We also reminded our people of our Employee Assistance Program, a confidential service providing them with free, confidential and professional support.
1. Healthy eating – sharing of ideas on healthy eating habits and the importance of a balanced diet
Ampol wellbeing month
We launched our inaugural ‘Ampol Wellbeing Month’ in 2020 aimed at promoting and supporting employee wellbeing. This was particularly important and relevant for our people as many continued to work from home and deal with the challenges that COVID-19 presented. Led by members of our leadership team each week had a different focus:
2. Mental health – tips on staying connected and daily mindfulness sessions for our employees to attend
3. Physical health – ideas and experience of balancing work and keeping fit while having fun
4. Social wellbeing – staying connected with teams ensuring everyone feels included
We have developed COVID-safe training, implemented alternate rosters to limit employee cross over, reinforced hygiene standards, increased sanitation at ‘high touch’ surfaces and have provided Perspex screens at our checkout points.
COVID-19 response
Our approach to business continuity and crisis management has been tested in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since early March our Crisis Management Teams and plans have been activated with the key two objectives of keeping our people, our customers and the community safe and healthy and to maintain our operations and assets to continue to deliver for our customers and communities.
Over the year our people have demonstrated resilience and an ability to adapt to where and how we work. For team members with the ability to work remotely, we’ve improved our use of Microsoft Teams to hold meetings and leveraged technology to be more flexible. Team members that have worked on the front line have been supported with additional COVID-19 leave where required.
Across our retail network we adopted stringent protocols to mitigate infection risks. This includes complying with changing regulatory requirements and investing in the necessary controls to support team and customer health and safety.

PFAS
2020 Environmental performance
Environmental management
Per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are manufactured chemicals used to make products resistant to heat, stains, grease and water. PFAS chemicals are persistent in the natural environment and can accumulate over time resulting in a negative impact on animals, plants and water streams.
During the year, we recorded one Category 3 environmental event as a result of a leak from an underground tank located at one of our Australian Capital Territory (ACT) retail sites. The product from the tank reached the underlying water table, with this contamination then dispersing both on and off the site. A detailed investigation was carried out independent of our operational team to identify the root cause of the incident and potential actions that could be taken to prevent an incident like this happening again.
Protecting the environment is central to our social licence to operate. We recognise that we need to apply the same strong focus to the environment as we do to bringing our people home safely every day.

People and culture
We recognise the critical role our culture plays in executing our strategy and delivering on our purpose. In 2020 we have undertaken work to understand our level of employee engagement, cultural strengths, and areas to focus on, to help us improve the way we work and to enhance performance through our culture. The delivery of a Culture and Engagement survey has allowed us to baseline where we are today and to define the cultural traits and initiatives which will enable the ongoing successful delivery of our strategy.
To ensure our operations remain resilient and we continue to deliver for our customers, we are enhancing our resilience plans to minimise disruption for a range of hazards that could potentially impact our business. These plans are being built on the strong foundation of our well planned and tested Incident Management and Emergency Response strategies currently in place, together with education and training we currently provide to all levels of our business including board members.
Acknowledgment of Country
We are looking at ways to enhance our approach and have identified key areas for improvement that will further build resilience in our people, simplify processes and more effectively allocate and manage the resources required during a disruptive event. Our approach is based on international best practice standards, utilising the Prevent, Prepare, Respond and Recover framework. We also provide thought-leadership to the Australian government on building a resilient nation via its Resilience Expert Advisory Group.
To mark the first day of National Reconciliation week, our Lytton Refinery unveiled an Acknowledgement of Country plaque to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where Lytton is located, the Quandamooka people. The plaque delivers on one of Ampol’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) actions to work with Traditional Owners and Land Councils to display Acknowledgement of Country plaques at key Ampol sites.
Diversity and inclusion
To help create an inclusive work environment, we recognise and celebrate a number of cultural days and events including NAIDOC Week, Wear it Purple, Close the Gap and National Reconciliation Week. These celebrations are often led by our ‘Women in the Fuels Industry’ (WIFI), ‘Indigenous Trailblazers’ and ‘Rainbow Alliance’ employee working groups and supported by our Diversity and Inclusion Council.
In acknowledgement of our focus on gender equality we have been recognised by WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality for the 5th year in row. We were also ranked 26th on Equileap’s Global Top 100 gender-equal companies.

Respecting human rights
We support fundamental human rights and the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking.
We have developed a Human Rights Policy and framework, with this overseen by the Ampol Leadership Team. In response to our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), we have mapped our supply chain, undertaken a high-level modern slavery risk assessment as well as a prioritisation exercise for high risk areas in our supply chain. We have delved into the risk areas which we have identified as top priorities and introduced steps to assess and address modern slavery risk within our operations and supply chain. These include risk assessments, supplier engagement, training and strengthening grievance mechanisms.
Ampol is committed to continuous improvement and will be coordinating effective internal and external reporting to keep all relevant stakeholders informed on Ampol’s human rights obligations and policies. Our first Modern Slavery Statement will be published in 2021.

Energy efficiency
Water efficiency and addressing water scarcity
We recognise that our operations require a large amount of energy and we continue to undertake assessments to identify cost-effective initiatives to reduce our use. Lytton refinery constitutes the largest component of our energy footprint, comprising 99.6% in the FY20 financial year.
We recognise that we have a responsibility to effectively manage our use of water and minimise impact on water resources. This is particularly critical given the ongoing drought risk for many parts of Australia. Lytton refinery constitutes the largest component of our water use, comprising 80% in 2020. Whilst the refinery requires a large amount of water, approximately 67% of its water use is recycled water sourced from an external wastewater treatment plant or is reused condensate used to generate steam.
We have continued to deliver energy efficiency projects and operational optimisation opportunities at Lytton refinery including the upgrading of analysers on furnaces and the reinstatement of steam raiser economisers.
In 2021 we will be developing an energy management program, focusing on improving energy efficiency across our assets as well as increasing the use of renewable energy when it is commercially viable to do so.

Our partnership with Surf Life Saving Australia will see the Ampol brand on the sleeve of the iconic surf lifesaving patrol shirt on beaches across the country. The new partnership, announced in December 2020, sees these two iconic Australian brands join forces to help deliver safer beaches and to save lives.
In addition to branding on patrol shirts, the new partnership will see Ampol have a presence at major surf lifesaving events, including the Coolangatta Gold and the Australian Surf Life
Saving Championships. Through our retail network we will also help share surf and water safety messages nationally.
Australians will start to see the Ampol logo on surf lifesaving uniforms in early 2021, with the full partnership to commence at the start of the 2021 surf lifesaving season.

We were pleased to see the successful delivery of the 35th year of Australia’s most iconic secondary education recognition program in 2020. The Ampol Best All Rounder Award celebrates the leaders of tomorrow.
Ampol best all rounder
The objective of the Ampol Best All Rounder program is to recognise the students that set a positive example for their school and make an exemplary contribution to their wider community.
During these unprecedented circumstances, with the onset of COVID-19, we believe recognising leadership and a community spirit is more important than ever, and we were pleased to see more than 1,600 schools participate in 2020.

Stars Foundation
Stars Foundation supports and enables Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls and young women to make active choices towards realising their full potential. In 2020, Stars supported approximately 1,000 young women in 17 partner schools in the Northern Territory, Queensland and Victoria. Growth in 2021 is expected to see over 2,500 students in Stars programs and expansion to Western Australia.
Our support of Stars delivers on our Reconciliation Action Plan commitment to support an organisation that focuses on empowering and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young women to better balance our support for both genders, as well as delivering on our belief that education changes lives.
Clontarf Foundation
The Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men, and by doing so equips them to participate more meaningfully in society.
Ampol has been supporting Clontarf Foundation since 2011 and over this time, the support provided by Ampol has assisted the Clontarf program to grow from 2,000 participants to almost 9,000 at the end of 2020. This has included national expansion into the states of New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.
Since the Stars Foundation started six years ago, remarkable improvements in outcomes amongst participants have been seen.

emergency services on fuel availability and access to impacted regions, quarantining fuel at our service stations for emergency services and providing jet fuel for firefighting aircraft. This included setting up a jet fuel refuelling station near Canberra for planes involved in the bushfire response.
Our retail employees got involved by running a fundraising program from our stores, which collected more than $38,000 for Red Cross’ Disaster Recovery Fund. These initiatives, combined with other volunteering and fundraising activities, led to a total contribution of over $215,000 for bushfire support.
Australian bushfire crisis
Between employee fundraising and maintaining fuel supply to isolated towns, Ampol played an important role in supporting communities during the 2019–2020 Australian bushfire crisis.
Supplying fuel to communities and emergency services
Our ability to maintain fuel supply as an essential service throughout this period is a result of the strength of our existing supply chain, strong relationships with government and emergency services and the commitment of employees and distributers on the ground.
In late 2019, we assembled a specialist team to coordinate logistics and communications across affected regions to ensure the business could maintain fuel supply to communities impacted by the bushfires and keep service stations operating to support emergency services and locals.
Monetary and in-kind support
Ampol also provided support to bushfire-affected communities by way of funds and in-kind support to charitable organisations and emergency services.
Over the course of the crisis our service stations supported a variety of needs, including fuel for evacuating residents, essential grocery items to those stranded, fuel to support firefighting activities and fuel for power generators in cut-off areas where fires had destroyed electrical infrastructure. This included the emergency supply of fuel to Mogo Zoo to keep its generators running.
We donated $25,000 of AmpolCash to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service to reach volunteers, and emergency services were offered free coffee, water, pies and sausage rolls at our stores.
$25,000 AmpolCash donated to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service
Our employees got involved with Ampol’s bushfire giving fund, where we committed to double-matching every donation made by an employee. Together, employees donated more than $48,000, which totalled to $144,000 for charity when double matched by Ampol.
Importantly, we coordinated with the Australian Defence Force in providing fuel to support its strategic planning and operations across the regions, including the rescue of stranded residents on Mallacoota beach by providing diesel for the Navy vessels. Ampol’s support to emergency services incorporated coordinating with state governments and

Being a positive contributor
In 2020, as we revitalised the Ampol brand and reaffirmed our commitment to communities, we enabled our employees to engage with social issues and organisations that are important to them.
This was launched through our inaugural Positive Contributor Day held in October 2020 as part of the internal launch of Ampol. The purpose of the day was to bring one of our six company values, Never Stop Caring, to life by supporting employees to give back to their local communities.
On Positive Contributor Day, employees were encouraged to take a day off from work and donate their time to a charity or community group of their choice, while our retail network conducted a fundraising effort that raised more than $40,000 for The Smith Family.

Case study
Support to succeed: Quynhi’s story
It was an escape from everything that was going on at home. It wasn’t until The Smith Family was involved that we had the income to be able to fund things like excursions and schools camps for my brother and I.
“It’s been just me, my younger brother, mum and grandma. When I was 10, my mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour. It was all a bit much for her, so my grandmother sent me and my brother to Vietnam to live with our extended family. We spent six months overseas. When we came back, I was super behind in school. That’s when all the trouble started.
I’m the first to go to university in my family. I’m super happy with what I’ve achieved, and my family is really proud of me.”
I became involved with The Smith Family in Year 7. I was falling behind, and with mum not being able to work anymore and my grandma being retired, we didn’t have much family income.
Quynhi, Learning for Life graduate
“ Without The Smith Family, I would still be behind. I wouldn’t have been able to do the uni course that I wanted to do.”
I never really caught up at school until I started going to Learning Club. I would go twice a week. It really helped me catch up. Emotionally, I noticed the impact of Learning Club straight away.

We also recognise that our customer’s expectations are constantly evolving and we need to work actively with them to understand their future needs and identify lower emission solutions.
Climate change considerations for our business
We are committed to publishing climate disclosures in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). In 2019, we undertook a qualitative assessment to determine those physical and transitional climate risk most relevant to our business; with this work aiming to better inform our strategic and business decision making.

Building on this work, this section provides an update on how we have further integrated management of climate change into our financial and strategic planning processes and our performance against the recommendations of TCFD. Climate-related Risk Definitions Transition risksrelate to changes in policy, law, markets and technology that are necessary for the transition to a low carbon economy.

About Ampol
Safe and responsible business
The Board is composed of members with a broad spectrum of skills, experience, expertise and diversity with 6 directors possessing climate change skills/experience.
Climate change governance
Managing climate-related risks
The Board approves and oversees Ampol’s overall strategic direction and financial and operational performance. This includes approving Ampol’s overall risk management framework taking into account non-financial risks such as environmental, safety and potential reputation risks. Climate-related risks are discussed at the Board level including as part of strategy and investment discussions, risk management oversight and monitoring and performance against external sustainability commitments. The Board also approves sustainability policies and disclosures such as the Sustainability Report.
The Ampol Board oversees our enterprise risk management framework and is responsible for satisfying itself that management has developed and is implementing an effective risk management system. Our enterprise risk management framework is supported by a three lines of defence governance structure that aligns with the ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management standard and the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.
At the management level, responsibility for the risk of climate change has been assigned to the Executive General Manager, Strategy and Corporate Development. The Ampol
Leadership Team have established a Strategic Risk Committee to oversee the identification and management of potential financial risk exposures for the business including those resulting from climate-related risk. Focus areas of the Committee include:
The Board have identified climate change as a material risk relevant to Ampol and have approved a climate risk description, appetite level and qualitative risk appetite statement. Quantitative risk thresholds are being prepared which will form the basis for risk reporting, escalation and response with regard to the Board’s appetite for climate-related risk.
- Overseeing identification, quantification and management of climate-related risks
The Board has established four standing committees: Audit, Human Resources, Nomination and the Safety and Sustainability Committee. The committee with the highest level of direct responsibility for climate change is the Safety and Sustainability Committee, which operates under a formal charter and comprises four non-executive and independent directors. The Safety and Sustainability Committee meets four times a year and its remit includes overseeing and assessing the appropriateness of plans to mitigate sustainability risks including climate change.
- Design, execution and integration of climate scenario analysis into strategic planning and capital allocation decision-making
A comprehensive risk review is undertaken by management for climate-related risks on an annual basis and presented to the Board. This risk review assesses the effectiveness of controls put into place and proposes any risk treatment actions. Management set annual Sustainability Plans, which include climate-related activities. Progress against these Plans are reported to the Ampol Leadership Team and the Board’s Safety and Sustainability Committee on a quarterly basis.
-
Further integration of climate-related risks into capital investment and business case frameworks
-
Monitoring and internal reporting of external climate change developments (regulatory, technological, market) relevant to Ampol
-
Supporting climate change disclosures, reporting and engagement with external stakeholders
Further details on the Safety and Sustainability Committee can be found in the Committee Charter located here.
Climate scenario analysis
Undertaking climate scenario analysis allows our business to estimate how we are positioned for different climate futures in the medium to longer term. In building a better understanding of the possible risks and opportunities posed by climate change, we are able to respond and implement measures to build business resilience in the longer term.
With the support of Wood MacKenzie, two climate scenario have been assessed within the Australian context including a status quo (~3°C) and a 2°C scenario.
Outputs of this work will be found in the Future Energy and Decarbonisation Strategy to be released soon and available here.

Positioning for the transition to a low carbon future
Whilst our demand forecasting and modelling sees Australian liquid fuels demand growing over the short to medium term, albeit at a slower rate than we have seen over the past few years, we recognise that these volumes will likely decline over the longer term. As a key pillar of our corporate strategy, we are building the foundations for energy transition, leveraging the strength of our assets, customer positions and capabilities.
We are adopting a phased and risk-managed energy transition approach so that we can invest in a balance sheet efficient manner. The core principles of our approach include:
-
Targeted investment in future energy opportunities in conjunction with our customers to create profitable solutions and propositions and commercialise over time
-
Seeking strategic and financial partnerships with government and other co-investors where possible to share risk and source capability
-
Prioritising options which leverage our core assets and capabilities

About Ampol
How the Standard Defines Limited Assurance and Material Misstatement
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence relevant decisions of the Directors of Ampol Limited.
Use of this Assurance Report
This report has been prepared for the Directors of Ampol Limited for the purpose of providing an assurance conclusion on the information subject to assurance and may not be suitable for another purpose. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report, to any person other than the Directors of Ampol Limited or for any other purpose than that for which it was prepared.
Our Independence and Quality Control
We have complied with our independence and other relevant ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) issued by the Australian Professional and Ethical Standards Board, and complied with the applicable requirements of Australian Standard on Quality Control 1 to maintain a comprehensive system of quality control.
