During 2008/09 we will:
- Evaluate the outcomes of the Energy Matters South Australian program with Mission Australia;
- Invite applications for funding the 2009 Warmth in Winter program;
- Maintain the matching of all employee donations up to an annual maximum of $200,000;
- Utilise the focus and expertise of the recently formed Safety, Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Committee (SS&CR) to identify ways to improve the outcomes and impacts of the Energy for Life program;
- Apply increased focus and promotion to the Employee Giving program to ensure that all employees are informed and aware of the benefits of donating via employee giving;
- Continue to fund and facilitate energy audits for selected emergency accommodation services, including the provision of energy efficient appliances, to help them make ongoing reductions to their energy consumption;
- Train at least 30 AGL employees to conduct energy efficiency audits, skills which can be imparted to interested emergency accommodation services and our charity partners;
- Share the learnings of the nine employees who attend the September 2008 WWF-Australia eco-expedition with others in AGL;
- Open our AGL shop front in Burra, South Australia, to provide an easy contact point for local stakeholders interested in the Hallett wind farm projects; and
- Utilise the skills and expertise of the Mandandanji and Barunggam people in the construction of the Berwyndale to Wallumbilla pipeline, to ensure that sites of cultural significance are preserved.
