Statement of support

Engagement with the EITI

Woodside is committed to reporting its petroleum tax and fee payments in countries where it has an interest. The company is actively involved in the EITI implementation process where it operates. It is part of the multi-stakeholder group in Timor-Leste and in October 2018, Woodside provided sponsorship for the EITI Beneficial Ownership event in Senegal.
