Task Force On Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)

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 2022 actions Future actions and considerations
Governance Describe the board’s oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities. Board and ESG committee oversees management of climate-related risks. The ESG Committee was formed in 2022 and is informed on climate-related matters through consultation with the Executive Management Team (EMT) and ESG Working Group on a regular basis. The ESG Committee meets at least three times annually to assist the Board’s oversight responsibilities 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.		 Review our governance approach to climate-related risks and opportunities
Continue to build employee capability in relation to climate-related risk
Describe management’s role in assessing and managing climate related risks and opportunities. The Boards approve policies and procedures implemented for the ongoing identification and management of risks.
During 2022, the EMT provided regular reports to the Risk and Compliance Committee showcasing performance against identified risks for AGIG.
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 Strategic Risk Register (SRR) for overlaps with climate change related 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 number of these risks and opportunities have been selected for future scenario analysis.
This analysis will assist us in evaluating the materiality of these risks and direct our strategic response to navigate the disruption of climate change.		 We will undertake a Climate Risk and Opportunity Assessment to understand our transition and physical climate-related risks so that we can identify preventative and mitigating controls.
We will align with TCFD framework and financial disclosures by end of 2024.
We will undertake Climate-related scenario analysis by using a combination of the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) models.
Describe the impact of climate related 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.
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 implementing AGIG’s Low Carbon Strategy by maintaining network reliability and taking meaningful steps towards decarbonising our network.
For our transmission businesses, we have committed to feasibility studies on blending hydrogen on the DBNGP.
AGIG’s Low Carbon Strategy underpins our target to transition our distribution networks to deliver 10% renewable gas by volume by 2030 and fully decarbonise by 2040, or no later than 2050.
Risk Describe the organisation’s processes for identifying and assessing climate related 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. We will use the results of the Climate Scenario analysis to inform responses for how best to adapte to and mitigate risks.
Describe the organisation’s processes for managing climate-related risks. A Risk Management Annual Programme is outlined in the Corporate Risk Management Framework which timetables the interactions between the ESG Committee and EMT.
Six monthly management reviews are conducted with EMT, an update of these reviews is provided to the Committee.
Describe how processes for identifying, assessing, and managing climate related risks are integrated into the organisation’s overall risk management. The AGIG Corporate Risk Management Framework guides and standarises our risk management process.
Risk identification and assessment is undertaken by risk owners, with assistance from the Assurance and Risk team.
Metrics and Targets Disclose the metrics used by the organisation to assess climate-related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk management process. AGIG is committed to the decarbonisation of the energy sector and the reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2022, the Board approved a list of primary ESG targets, that are mapped to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) .		 We have committed to full alignment with the recommendations of the TCFD by end of 2024. We will set Interim Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reductions targets by the end of 2023. We will review our environmental footprint with a view of setting targets by 2025.
Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2, and, if appropriate, Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the related risks. AGIG’s Low Carbon Strategy outlines our commitment to achieving net zero Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050.
We have committed to setting interim Scope 1 and 2 emissions targets by end of 2023.
Describe the targets used by the organisation to manage climate related risks and opportunities and performance against targets. We report on Scope 1 and 2 emissions by business unit annually.
AGIG wide targets, and the low carbon strategy, are aligned to the Gas Vision 2050
