We’re supporting The Salvation Army Australia’s Light the Way campaign, helping those doing it tough this festive season. This is our third year supporting the Salvo’s as they aim to brighten the lives of disadvantage families. Our $100,000 donation will go towards providing gift cards to the local Bayswater and Loy Yang communities and contribute to paying household bills for families who seek Salvos services.

As an essential service provider, we recognise domestic and family violence can occur anywhere.

It was incredible to see the turnout of more than 30,000 visitors to our booth at the Sydney International EV Autoshow over the weekend. As part of the exhibition, we had several experts share their unique insights into the electrification of transport, with keynotes delivered by Jeremy Brook, our Head of Home Transition, on the importance of empowering customers to switch to an all-electric home and Mabelle Reyes, our Head of E-Mobility, on how we are driving the uptake of EVs through private and public charging infrastructure. Amelia P., our Product Owner EV charging, joined panellists on a deep dive into EV charging and batteries and Natasha Menon, our Fleet Strategy Manager, joined an all-women panel in providing their perspectives into how women are shaping the design, development, and marketing of EVs to encourage greater uptake. Our team was particularly inspired by the enthusiasm, energy and keen interest of the attendees to learn more about how we are supporting our customers to electrify the way they live, move and work.? ? #EV #Electrification?#SydneyEVShow

Flexible working at AGL is about providing supportive arrangements for our team members that reflect our different operating environments and individual circumstances. For Daniel Jones, our Senior Corporate Lawyer, working flexibly allows him to be the best dad he can be. “I have strong support from my supervisors and work in a team where other parents have taken parental leave, worked part time or worked flexibly in the past (or continue to do so). I can’t imagine working in a role where I saw less of my girls.” #DiversityAndInclusion #PoweringAustralianLife

We’re thrilled to have been recognised as a finalist in the Wellbeing, Health and Safety category of The Australian Financial Review (AFR)s’ Energy Awards this week. Our nominated submission recognises the important role drones play in reducing risks and improving safety outcomes by eliminating the need for people to perform high risk tasks, such as working in confined spaces and at heights. We spoke to Matthew Lee, our Chief Drone Pilot and Engineer of Drones and Robotic Technology on how drones are improving safety across our operational sites. #Safety #Drones #Technology

Through our AGL Early Career Program (ECP), we’re proud to offer our emerging talent exclusive access to senior leaders, valuable mentoring opportunities, and the ability to grow their professional networks. This month, we had the privilege of hosting AGL Board Members Christine Holman and Mark Twidell during our Speaker Series. We heard from Christine and Mark about their impactful career stories, as well as insights and advice that has led to their growth and success. Christine shared the importance of embracing different opportunities, highlighting that a positive attitude can play a crucial role in opening doors to new and rewarding experiences. Mark’s advice focused on learning to ask for help and never underestimating the importance of preparation. He also highlighted the significance of nurturing your networks and valuing the people you work with throughout your career. At AGL, we remain committed to fostering the growth of our emerging talent and look forward to sharing more leadership insights in future ECP sessions. #EmergingTalent #CareerDevelopment #LeadershipDevelopment

We’re proud to be working with the great team at Someva Renewables and the Riverina community on the Pottinger Energy Park. Once completed, the park will generate up to 1,200 MW of clean, affordable and reliable energy – enough to power up to 830,000 Australian homes.

We’re celebrating the valued carers in our lives this National Carers Week. We spoke to Marc Hettler, our WA Renewables Portfolio Manager, about the time he took paid parental leave to care for his son. “The ability to take 20 weeks paid parental leave along with annual leave created a win–win situation. My wife could pursue an opportunity to work as one of two doctors, travelling to remote and Indigenous communities, providing ophthalmology services, all while I had a great time bonding with my son, Bastian.” Mark and his family travelled 20,000 kilometres over 12 months, visiting some of the most beautiful parts of Western Australia. #NationalCarersWeek #Diversity #Inclusion
