Worley Sustainability definitions 2020 01Sustainability definitions table
The following table contains definitions and clarifications for metrics and referenced terminology in the:
• Worley Annual Report 2020 (Environment, Social and Governance or Sustainability section)
• Worley Sustainability Report 2020

Biofuels Worley defines biofuels as sustainable fuels produced from biomass feedstocks, capable of delivering
significant lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reductions compared with fossil fuel alternatives.
C
Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide emissions equivalent (CO2e) is the universal unit of measurement used to express and
emissions compare emissions from various greenhouse gases based on their global warming potential, converted to
equivalent the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide.
(CO2e) The six key greenhouse gases recognized by the Kyoto Protocol and adopted by Worley are:
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Methane (CH4)
• Nitrous oxide (N2O)
• Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC)
• Perfluorocarbons (PFC)
• Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
CO2e emission Worley’s approach to greenhouse gas emissions reporting is consistent with the reporting requirements set
factors out in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard. The CO2e emissions factors are sourced from the
latest International Energy Agency (IEA) emissions factors.
As per accepted practice, we do not restate previous year emissions based on emission factor updates.
Catalyst A robot designed by Worley to remove catalyst in a vessel, replacing the need for a human to do this activity.
Removal The robot is deployed inside the vessel and vacuums the catalyst material out of it.

activities aligned to our sustainability and corporate responsibility commitments.
Memberships, some scholarships and marketing spend are generally not included within this definition.
Monetary and time contributions by our people, from payroll deductions or direct giving, volunteering, and
value of paid hours are not included within this definition.
The contributions (donations) are captured in the company’s finance systems at the time of payment, using
the following codes / category, or equivalent:
Expenditure category = contributions
Resource type = charitable donations
Total contributions are measured in Australian Dollars for the reporting period in which the financial
transaction is made. Contributions by offices outside of Australia are converted to Australian Dollars using
the average exchange rate during the month that the financial transaction occurred.
D
Diversity & At Worley, the diversity of our people includes factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
Inclusion (D&I) socio-economic status, culture, age, physical ability, education, language, skill levels, family status, religious,
political and other beliefs and work styles. We value and harness diversity to build an environment where
people are connected and belong.
Inclusion is defined as the outcome to ensure that those that are different and underrepresented feel
welcome and valued.
E
Energy Energy is consumed predominantly to run our office spaces and fabrication yards. Electricity, natural gas and
consumption other fuel consumption are compiled from metering and building data, and in some instances is estimated
and conversion using historical data. Our total energy consumption is measured in megawatt hours (MWh) for the reporting
factors period.
Where fuel use is not recorded in terms of a unit of energy (i.e. gaseous or liquid fuels), conversion factors to
establish energy use are used to convert volume of fuel to energy.
Energy Average ratio of energy consumption relative to the aggregated revenue generated by the company over the
intensity reporting period. This is expressed as a ratio of energy consumption per aggregated revenue raised (MWh/$
per dollar of million).

person The personnel number is reduced from our employee number for the reporting period to exclude our large
field-based workforce in North America, as these personnel do not work on our sites and do not contribute
to our Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Enterprise Enterprise development is a target area of investment by the Worley Foundation aimed at providing
development contributions to assist in the operation, financial performance and development of local small businesses
towards long term sustainability.
Employee This includes both the Group’s employees and contractors.
Employment There are two employment contract categories at Worley:
contract • Permanent contract: Permanent employee contract for full-time or part-time work for an indeterminate

Lost Workday A recordable injury/illness that results in one or more days away from work at the direction of a medical
Case (LWC) professional. Worley shall begin counting days away on the day after the injury occurred or the illness began
and each calendar day until released to return to work in some capacity by a medical professional as defined
in OSHA 1904.7(b)(3)(ii). A LWC is a recordable case.
You must count the number of calendar days the employee was unable to work as a result of the injury or
illness, regardless of whether or not the employee was scheduled to work on those day(s). Weekend days,
holidays, vacation days or other days off are included in the total number of days recorded if the employee
would not have been able to work on those days because of a work-related injury or illness (OSHA 1904.7(b)
(3)(iv)). These cases are recordable only if information is received from a physician or other licensed health
care professional indicating that the employee should not have worked, or should have performed only
restricted work, on these days (OSHA 1904.7(b)(3)(v).
Lost Workday Lost Workday Case Frequency Rate (LWCFR) is calculated by:

temperature increase further to 1.5°C.
People Our People network groups bring employees with shared characteristics or life experiences - such as gender,
network race, cultural heritage, sexual orientation and/or gender identity, disability - together in a safe space and
groups offer varying opportunities for members. These include social and development opportunities, mentoring,
volunteering, sharing best practice and a chance to gain skills and experience in areas they may not get the
opportunity to do in their ‘day job’.

Scope 1 Direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources that The Group owns or controls. Our Scope 1 emissions
emissions come from burning liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas and liquid fuels in heaters and generators,
particularly at our fabrication yards.
Scope 2 Indirect greenhouse gas emissions that come from purchased energy – including heat and steam, by
emissions The Group. Our Scope 2 emissions come from the energy used to power our fabrication yards and office
buildings.
Scope 3 All other indirect emissions in the value chain of The Group. We do not presently estimate our Scope 3
emissions emissions. These include (but are not limited to) emissions from transportation of our products from our
fabrication yards, business travel, data centres and waste disposal.
Senior Leadership roles at Worley up to the end of FY2020 were called senior executives. They comprised all
executives employees and contractors at the CEO-1, CEO-2, CEO-3 levels.
Worley Sustainability definitions 2020 8Senior leaders From FY2021 senior leader roles will be defined using our Organizational Role Framework (Tiers) rather than
based on positioning of roles in relation to our CEO. Tiers are more indicative of the leadership component
of our roles, with Tier 1 roles being the highest level of leadership competency, typically demonstrated by
Group Executive members.
Senior leaders are managers below Group Executive who have leadership accountabilities for business
units (profit and loss) and functions (and sub-functions). This can be defined using organisation tiers,
which represent the size and impact of the role. Typically, this would be tiers one, two and possibly three,
depending on the area.
Serious Case Any fatality or permanent disabling injury / illness or HSE Event with a potential consequence to result in a
fatality or a permanent disabling injury or illness.

Frequency rates are a normalized measure of performance; they are a Worley reporting requirement.
Skilled At Worley, the term skilled volunteering is used when our people provide skilled services to community-
volunteering based organizations in their time outside of paid working hours on a no fee basis.
