Shadow carbon price

Wesfarmers applies a shadow price on carbon to help ensure investment decisions reflect all costs, including environmental costs. Shadow carbon pricing is a method of investment analysis that adds a hypothetical surcharge to the price of projects that involve the creation of carbon emissions. This supports initiatives that are more emissions efficient, other things being equal.

Wesfarmers' shadow carbon price for capital expenditure decisions in Australia starts at $22/tonne CO₂e in the short term and increases to $98/tonne CO₂e in the longer term. When assessing investment decisions, carbon price sensitivity analysis is also conducted.
