Corporate Responsibility Indicators (Metrics): Definitions & Clarifications to be a reference for: the WorleyParsons Annual Report, Corporate Responsibility section the WorleyParsons Corporate Responsibility Performance report A - B C Carbon dioxide emissions equivalent (CO 2-e) Carbon dioxide emissions equivalent (CO 2-e) is the universal unit of measurement used to express and compare emissions from various greenhouse gases based on their global warming potential, converted to the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. The seven key greenhouse gases recognized by the Kyoto Protocol and adopted by WorleyParsons are: Carbon dioxide (CO 2) Methane (CH 4) Nitrous oxide (N 2O) Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) Perfluorocarbons (PFC) Sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6) Nitrogen trifluoride (NF 3) Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is an international not-for-profit organization providing a global system for companies and cities to measure, disclose, manage and share vital environmental information. WorleyParsons have participated in reporting our environmental performance to CDP since 2009. CDP data is often referenced by investors and customers. Carbon dioxide emission factors WorleyParsons approach to greenhouse gas emissions reporting is consistent with the reporting requirements set out in the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act (2007) for our Australia locations and the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006) for other locations. The carbon dioxide emissions factors are derived from the reporting guideline standards. As per accepted practice, we do not restate previous year emissions based on emission factor updates. Contributions by operations Contributions by operations are the total monetary contributions by WorleyParsons offices and business lines towards Corporate Responsibility Activities. Total contributions are measured in Australian Dollars for the reporting period. Contributions by offices outside of Australia are converted to Australian Dollars using the average exchange rate during the month that the community initiative was undertaken. Note: operational budgets allocated to ongoing programs like general management of HSE, People, CR, Assurance and business as usual CR associated activities are not included as contributions by operations Contributions by personnel members Contributions by personnel members are the total monetary contributions towards Corporate Responsibility Activities by WorleyParsons employees and contractors, family members and supply chain partners (customers and suppliers) who are contributing through WorleyParsons organized fundraising activities. Total contributions are measured in Australian Dollars for the reporting period. Contributions by employees outside of Australia are converted to Australian Dollars using the average exchange rate during the month that the community initiative was undertaken. Page 1 of 7
