Reporting Frameworks
International Integrated Reporting Framework
AGL’s FY20 Annual Report
GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards)
AGL’s FY20 reporting suite has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards: Core option.
A comprehensive GRI Index is included within AGL’s FY20 ESG Data Centre, and details which topic-specific GRI Standards (and associated Disclosures) have been used, and the topic boundaries for each.
Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)
AGL has aligned the disclosures made in the FY20 Annual Report to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards for Electrical Utilities and Power Generators and Gas Utilities.
A SASB index is included in the FY20 ESG Data Centre which identifies the extent to which each SASB disclosure requirement has been applied.
Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure
AGL follows the guidance provided by the Financial Stability Board's Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure’s voluntary disclosure framework (TCFD Framework). 'Pathways to 2050', our FY20 TCFD report which accompanies the Annual Report, details how we consider governance, risk management, strategy, and metrics and targets in relation to climate change. A summary of the TCFD disclosures is also included within the FY20 Annual Report.
United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
AGL is a signatory to the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). These principles are derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nation’s Convention Against Corruption.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 interconnected goals that form a global benchmark for achieving a sustainable future for all.
While many of the SDGs intersect with AGL's operations, the three SDGs we assess as most material to our strategy and operations comprise SDG 13 – Climate Action; SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy; and SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
