Our story

A proudly Australian company, Santos is a leading supplier of natural gas, a fuel for the future, providing cleaner energy to improve the lives of people in Australia and Asia.

As Australia's biggest domestic gas supplier, a leading Asia-Pacific LNG supplier, we are committed to be a world-leading clean fuels company, achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.

Our focus is to grow our clean fuels capability for zero-emissions LNG, hydrogen and other products through carbon capture and storage, nature-based offsets, energy efficiency and use of renewables in our operations.

Underpinned by a diverse portfolio of high-quality natural gas, oil and strategic infrastructure assets across Australia, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea and North America, Santos continues to deliver long-term value to shareholders.

Recognised for our disciplined, low-cost operating model, Santos is resilient throughout the commodity price cycle.

For more than 65 years, Santos is proud to be working in partnership with local communities, providing Australian jobs and business opportunities, safely and sustainably developing Australia's natural gas resources, and powering Australian industries and households.

We are acting on climate change

In December 2020, Santos committed to and announced a credible pathway to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040, including new industry-leading emission reduction targets that build on its existing 2025 targets. These new 2030 targets include:

• Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions and emissions intensity by 26-30 per cent by 2030 from the 2019/20 financial year baseline 1; and
• Reduce customer Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 1 million tonnes per annum by 2030 through direct switching to cleaner fuels

With 80 per cent of global primary energy coming from hydrocarbon fuels – the same as 45 years ago – Santos is focused on making these fuels cleaner and eventually zero emissions.

Santos is already working to align our business with Paris Agreement's central goal to limit global temperature rise this century to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

We are committed to continually making progress on the aspirations and targets we have set for each of our sustainability pillars and maturing the way in which we report. Each year we report our greenhouse gas emissions publicly and have a dedicated Board Committee overseeing climate change risk.

Natural gas is a flexible, affordable and reliable fuel – it can provide transport fuel, industrial fuels and space heating as well as supply baseload and firming power generation.

Our natural gas customers of today, will be the hydrogen customers of tomorrow.
