Our purpose

Powering Australian life

At AGL, we believe energy makes life better. That’s why we’re passionate about powering the way Australians live, move and work. 

Like you, we believe that the world is going through extraordinary challenges. We don’t shy away from the tough questions and we consider the answers carefully. We work in partnership with our customers and communities, and take action to shape a better future for all.

As life changes, we join the change, constantly evolving over 185 years. Today we bring all that know-how to transform how Australians produce, share and consume energy. We’re investing in new ideas, partnerships and infrastructure – renewing and expanding our portfolio of sources and products to help make them more sustainable, reliable, affordable and useful.

We’ll continue to innovate in energy and other essential services to enhance the way Australians live, and to help preserve the world around us for future generations.

Our values

Bring on tomorrow.

Seize the opportunity. The work we do today impacts the Australia we leave for future generations. We don’t have all the answers. But through continuous improvement and working together, we’ll uncover opportunities that make history. For all of us. Bring it on.

Bring on tomorrow brings a sense of optimism about AGL’s future. For me, it means working together so we can continue to provide energy to Australians today and for the generations to come. 

 

In our Wind team, we live this value every day by being innovative and looking for better ways to do things while we embed the operations and maintenance of our wind farms into AGL. It’s about operating safely and efficiently to provide reliable power now, while we continue to develop and build renewables for the future.

From the strong commitment we have for our teammates, to exploring avenues to reduce our environmental footprint, and the development and implementation of our sustainability framework.
