On 30 November, 2022, Downer released its first standalone Climate Change Report.

Climate change poses a threat to the economy, our health, our communities and our future.  For Downer, addressing this challenge also brings opportunity – an opportunity to help our customers on their decarbonisation journeys, and an opportunity to contribute to a brighter future.

Downer understands that climate action is a shared responsibility. And we are committed to playing our part.

Our Climate Change Report has been developed to provide information on Downer's response to the risks that climate change poses and the opportunities that addressing climate change presents.  It covers our journey to date and achievements, our pathway to net zero, and the pivotal role Downer can play in the energy transition.

In 2022, Downer conducted a review of our detailed climate scenario analysis to test the resilience of our business strategy.  This analysis, which was facilitated by an independent external auditor, confirmed that Downer’s strategy is resilient and that the opportunities presented by climate change mitigation, if appropriately acted upon, outweigh the risks for Downer.  This work also confirmed that the opportunities for Downer will increase as the shift towards a low carbon future accelerates. 

The findings of this analysis are included in the report.
