Sustainable Development Report 2018

Woodside has a zero-tolerance approach to fraud, bribery and corruption. No violations of anti-bribery and corruption laws were detected within or in connection with Woodside in 2018. 

We assess fraud and corruption risk across all our activities and locations using criteria including country of operation, activities undertaken and the level and nature of engagement with government.  

During the year, we conducted eight anti-bribery and corruption compliance audits on contractors and joint venture participants resulting in recommended improvements to staff training, due-diligence and our policy. A number of actions were also implemented under stand-alone risk assessments for our Senegal and Myanmar assets, including training, localised controls over finance and contractor engagement.
