For more than 65 years Santos has been working in partnership with local communities, providing local jobs and business opportunities, safely and sustainably developing its natural gas resources, and powering industries and households.

As customer demand evolves, Santos will grow and develop its cleaner energy and clean fuels, including hydrogen through carbon capture and storage, nature-based offsets, energy efficiency and use of renewables in its operations.

To deliver the transition and our Purpose and Vision, Santos has a regional operating model with a strong local focus.
