Our commitments

Our Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan

Our third Reconciliation Action Plan builds on our solid foundation of respect for Traditional Custodians and our Purpose, Powering Australian Life.

AGL acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we operate. We respect their enduring connection to Country, culture and community. We honour their cultures and knowledge and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Reconciliation is integral to how AGL will deliver on its strategy and play its role in Australia’s energy transition. We are committed to reconciliation because we recognise that a sustainable energy future must be built in true partnership with the First Nations peoples who have cared for Country for millennia.

As a business fundamentally connected to land, waters and community, AGL acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we operate, and we strive to strengthen these relationships through respect, truth‑telling and meaningful collaboration.

Reconciliation is a key contributor to our social licence. It is embedded within our broader ESG framework and integrated into the way we make decisions, engage with communities and deliver our projects. We aim to integrate ESG considerations into every major decision, recognising that the success of our strategy is influenced by inclusive and community‑centred decision‑making, building trusted partnerships and creating meaningful economic opportunities for First Nations people and communities.

Through our RAP, we are taking deliberate steps to build cultural understanding, support First Nations education and culturally safe employment pathways, and ensure that transition to cleaner energy delivers shared benefits. AGL seeks to honour First Nations cultures and foster meaningful partnerships, so that Australia’s energy transition delivers shared economic and social benefits. Our RAP commitments form a critical element of how AGL defines its social performance and are embedded in our Community Engagement Policy and Standard, Benefit Sharing Guidelines, Social Impact Framework and community investment initiatives.

Our vision for a unified and inclusive Australia

Our vision for reconciliation is an inclusive Australia where First Nations people are respected, have a genuine voice in decisions that affect them and have equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from the nation’s energy transition.

We will bring our vision to life by:

listening deeply to strengthen our cultural intelligence, workplace cultural safety and inclusivity;
continuing to build trusted partnerships where we operate;
uphold the principles of self-determination in our engagement with First Nations communities;
deliver accessible and affordable energy solutions for our First Nations customers; and
promote benefits to First Nations communities from our investment in new energy projects in Australia’s energy transition.

We strive to make this our norm, our way of life.

Uluru Statement from the Heart

AGL supports the invitation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

We thank First Nations people, the original custodians, for taking care of this country for thousands of years and we are excited about what we are yet to learn and what we can achieve together to build a better future.

'Lighting the path forward' by Keisha Leon

We are delighted to share our artwork ‘Lighting the path forward’ by Keisha Leon, a Waanyi and Kalkadoon designer/artist and founder of Leon Design, who uses narratives to reflect her own experiences; and to connect conceptual design with social outcomes, to change the narrative for the future.

‘Lighting the path forward’ depicts AGL’s vision for:

creating pathways to meaningful change and sustainable futures;
advocating voices and values from the top to the bottom;
leading change; and
caring for Country and connecting people in a meaningful and impactful way.

We look from where we have come from and where we are going. Lighting the path to point us in the right direction. The land guides the pathways and connects us together. It is our duty to take the path unknown, be guided and make way for a brighter future.

Community, Careers and Diversity

Cultivating respectful, trusted and meaningful connections with the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we operate is critical to our success. We are committed to engaging proactively with our communities to develop relationships that will increase our cultural understanding and collaborate on opportunities for employment and economic participation. By building strong connections, we listen and learn so we can shape our community engagement approach and create consistency across the organisation when working with local Traditional Custodians and communities.

AGL aspires to make a genuine difference through our partnerships with community organisations. That is why we have partnered with the Stars Foundation, Clontarf Foundation, National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy and Deadly Coders to support First Nations boys and girls to remain engaged at school and complete Year 12, with the aim to improve their education and employment prospects. These programs provide a diverse range of activities to support their students to develop the self-esteem, confidence and life skills they need to successfully participate in school and transition into a positive and independent future.

Our goal is to create a culturally safe workplace where all our people feel comfortable, supported and respected. So join us now and become part of AGL!
