Greenhouse gas data is reported in line with the NGER scheme. NGER Technical Guidelines have been developed by the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy, based on Australian Financial Year reporting. Data is reported for the AGIG facilities captured NGER.
Note: there are minor sources of emission not currently captured in the AGN, MGN or DBP facilities. These are being assessed for future reporting, indicatively approximately 24,000 tCO2e in total in 2023.

Appendix 3: TCFD Summary
Summary of AGIG’s approach and key plans in relation to climate change related governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and targets.
TCFD Category | Recommended Disclosures | Current Approach and 2023 Actions | Reference to Disclosure |
---|---|---|---|
Governance | Describe the board’s oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities. |
The Boards and ESG Committees oversee management of climaterelated risks The ESG report is an annual summary of performance against key ESG criteria and provides a publically available, published summary of committments and progress . In 2023, we enhanced our governance process in relation to emissions management by implementing a formal Emissions Strategy. Further information on our Emissions Strategy Governance can be found on pages 14-17. The ESG Committees were formed in 2022 and are informed on climaterelated matters through consultation with the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and ESG Working Group on a regular basis. The ESG Committees meet quarterly to assist the Board’s oversight responsbilities including: - AGIG’s climate related risks and opportunities, through AGIG’s Corporate Risk Management Framework - Integrating ESG into AGIG’s strategy. - Development of ESG related objectives and policies - Ensuring that AGIG has appropriate ESG commitments in place, supported by adequate plans and resources to deliver against these ESG commitments |
Refer to “Governance” section in our 2023 ESG report and section “Climate Action” |
Describe management’s role in assessing and managing climaterelated risks and opportunities. |
The Boards approve policies and procedures implemented for the ongoing identification and management of risks. During 2023, the ELT provided regular reports to the Risk and Compliance Committee showcasing management and mitigation of identified risks for AGIG. Working groups are formed as needed to monitor and assess performance against metrics and develop strategies to guide approaches going forward. |
Refer to “Governance” section in our 2023 ESG report, which outlines our levels of governance, including working groups | |

Strategy | Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the organisation has identified over the short, medium, and long term. |
In 2022 we took our first steps towards full alignment with the TCFD recommendations. We reviewed our existing Stratetgic Risk Register (SRR) for overlaps with climate changerelated risks We have identified climate risks and opportunities over the short (2030), medium (2050) and long term (2070) for both our distribution and transmissions businesses. A climate risk and opportunity assessment was completed in 2023. Given the useful life of gas distribution and transmission assets, AGIG considers that 2030, 2050 and 2070 are relevant short, medium and long term time horizons. Scenario analysis to align with TCFD requirements was completed for 2030 and 2050 timelines, looking at the effect of climate change on physical operations and the business’s market positioning. The operational scenarios examined the effect of extreme weather on AGIG’s people, the effect of wet and windy conditions (characterised by extreme rainfull frequency and intesity) and hot and dry conditions (bushfire, smoke and extreme heat). Specific scenarios have been outlined in SDG 13 - Climate Action. This analysis assisted us in evaluating the materiality of these risks and direct our strategic response to navigate the disruption of climate change. The physical and transitional risks opportunities identified during this process have been previously been captured by AGIG on our SRR. Where revelant, we have provided additional detail in relation to prevention and mitigating controls. |
We will adopt the recommendation on climate-related financial disclosures by end of-2024 (With the disbandment of the TCFD framework ahead of the adoption of the relevant AASB standards. we remain committed to adopting climate related financial disclosures) |

Strategy | Describe the impact of climaterelated risks and opportunities on the organisation’s businesses, strategy, and financial planning. |
We acknowledge that we are exposed to both the physical and transitional risks of climate change Being predominately underground, our infrastructure has inherent climate resilience. External influences, such as extreme temperatures, sea-level rise, bushfires or severe wind conditions, typically have a minimal impact on our assets. The specific impacts that have been identified form the scenario analysis conducted for AGIG in 2023 and these findings will be incorporated into future planning for business activities. Our Low Carbon Vision aims for 10% renewable gas (such as hydrogen and biomethane) in our distribution networks by no later than 2030, with full decarbonisation of our networks by 2040 as a stretch target and by no later than 2050. In our transmission and midstream assets, we will continue to develop infrastructure solutions for our customers, targeting net-zero by 2050. Notably, this Vision was made before the changes to the Safeguard Mechanism were announced. AGIG has also committed to an overall emissions reduction of 30% on 2020 levels by 2030. Emissions reduction is being incorporated into business case development. We are developing an internal cost of carbon to support project development. |
|
Strategy | Describe the resilience of the organisation’s strategy, taking into consideration different climate-related scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario. |
For our distribution businesses, we are maintaining network reliability and taking meaningful steps towards decarbonising our network. Our Low Carbon Vision aims for 10% renewable gas (such as hydrogen and biomethane) in our distribution networks by no later than 2030, with full decarbonisation of our networks by 2040 as a stretch target and by no later than 2050. In our transmission and midstream assets, we will continue to develop infrastructure solutions for our customers, targeting net-zero by 2050. We have also completed feasibility studies on blending hydrogen into the DBNGP. |
|
Risk Management | Describe the organisation’s processes for identifying and assessing climaterelated risks. |
We are continuing to evolve how we view climate change and understand that scenario analysis will provide us with the opportunity to assess the potential likelihood and magnitude of climate change related risks. Updating risk and effect on assets, people and the public is regularly undertaken on our gas distribution and transmissions assets as part of our regulatory and standards requirements. Climate-related risk as it directly impacts the opertional part of the business is being captured as part of this process. |
