Economic Performance
Woodside’s aim of achieving strong financial performance and broader economic contribution is a cornerstone of our sustainable future.
Information about our 2009 financial performance is available in our 2009 Annual Report.
Our broader economic contributions include our contributions to local, regional, national and international communities and economies through the production and delivery of our products; dividends to shareholders; payment of taxes to governments; direct and indirect employment; and payment to providers of goods and services.
In 2008 more than 85% of Woodside expenditure was injected into the Australian economy in the form materials and services purchased; taxes to governments; and capital and exploration expenditure. This significant contribution reflects our predominant Australian operation and development focus. Our total expenditure in 2008 was more than $9.2 billion.
