AGL is committed to developing sustainable energy resources, and to helping your business balance its energy and environmental concerns.
AGL is here to help guide you through the simple steps to a sustainable business. This sustainability programme can help you and your business make an affordable difference to the environment.
1. Benchmark your business’ carbon emissions
Benchmarking a business’ carbon emissions is becoming increasingly important so as to manage greenhouse emissions in a responsible manner.
AGL has developed an interactive Carbon Calculator that businesses can use to calculate the greenhouse emissions from their operations.
AGL’s online energy efficiency diagnostic will also provide you with a benchmark for your organisations energy use which can be compared with other businesses.
For an in depth energy and greenhouse assessment please contact AGL Energy Services.
2. Reduce your energy consumption
The first step in reducing emissions is to assess your businesses’ existing energy usage and identify ways you can improve your own energy efficiency.
AGL provides business customers with an online efficiency diagnostic tool. This will enable you to better understand your energy usage and provide advice on how to improve efficiency. The tool also provides links to several independent sources for further information.
You also have the option to engage AGL Energy Services for an in-depth onsite energy efficiency audit and efficiency program for your business.
3. Go Green!
Once you’ve reduced your consumption, you can choose to have your energy sourced from accredited renewable generation.
AGL offers you the flexibility to allocate any percentage of your electricity consumption to come from an accredited renewable source. We understand that resource and financial constraints faced by businesses in a competitive environment, that’s why we can help you meet your environmental goals without an expensive price tag.
4. Offset emissions
Greenhouse Gas offsets enable you to balance the climate change impact your business activities have on the environment. Offsets can be used to mitigate the greenhouse impacts of a range of activities, not only energy use.
AGL has invested in a range of projects which create accredited greenhouse gas offsets to provide business with a full range of options to meet their sustainability goals. We are the only energy retailer that can give you option to choose the source of your offset, and even the State it comes from.
