For this assessment task, each group member will select a company listed on the ASX Stock
Exchange from the Energy industry. The available options are: Woodside Energy Group Ltd

Corporation Limited (NHC), Whitehaven Coal Limited (WHC). For instance, if there are 5
members in Group 1, they will each choose one of the 5 ASX-listed companies. The chosen
companies must be agreed upon by all group members to ensure suitability for comparison and
analysis, which is vital for the final report and presentation in Assessment Task 3.
