AGM 2026: Strong delivery, clear direction

Woodside’s 2026 Annual General Meeting, held this month in Perth, reinforced to our shareholders the disciplined execution of Woodside’s strategy and our focus on meeting growing energy demand while delivering long-term value.

Woodside Chair Richard Goyder highlighted Woodside’s outstanding production and financial performance over the last 12 months, alongside the company’s strong sustainability performance and commitment to long-term success.

Richard also acknowledged the broader impacts of developments in the Middle East, noting the critical importance of energy security and affordability.

“In this complex and unpredictable environment, investors are looking for Woodside to build a profitable and resilient business that can deliver consistent, long-term returns,” Richard said.

“And stakeholders are counting on Woodside to deliver our commitments by operating responsibly and sustainably and contributing to local economies and communities.

“I am pleased to report that Woodside continues to meet these expectations.”

Reflecting on the year, newly appointed Woodside CEO Liz Westcott outlined Woodside’s ongoing focus on creating long-term shareholder value, maintaining safe and reliable operations, and delivering major growth projects to budget and schedule.

“I have every confidence in our ability to keep delivering strong results in 2026 and beyond.”

Shareholders voted in favour of all items of business, including the re-election of four directors (Mr Larry Archibald, Ms Swee Chen Goh, Mr Arnaud Breuillac and Ms Angela Minas) and the election of Mr Mark Cutifani as a Director.
