Going green with Landcare

Taking up the opportunity to move away from the balance sheets in the name of team building and supporting the environment, our Retail Finance Team recently volunteered at Melbourne’s Westgate Park, as part of the AGL Green Volunteering partnership with Landcare.


Westgate Park is a unique urban nature park under Melbourne’s Westgate Bridge. AGL groups, along with other corporate groups and the non-profit community based environmental group called "Friends of Westgate Park" are working to enhance the park's habitat by planting trees, shrubs and maintaining the land.


Tony Flude part of the Friends Group working along side Landcare comments, "Since the AGL Green Volunteering programme came to Westgate Park, the Friends Group has been able to achieve so much more. They are a great team and we got a load done". This is just one of many Green Volunteering projects happening in VIC, NSW and SA.

Energy advice for Mission Australia

AGL's Energy Services team provided professional, pro-bono assistance for Mission Australia in their recent head office relocation in Sydney's CBD.


AGL’s support included providing guidance on how to work within leasing agreements to gain the best possible tenant power usage options, and working with the project’s design team to build in energy efficient options for lighting.


Mission Australia's David Pigott, General Manager Corporate Partnerships, said, "This is just one of the many ways in which AGL and their employees are helping us to save on energy usage and costs, whilst helping us reduce our overall energy footprint. Furthermore, we saved resource as we received the professional advice at no cost".
