Employee Volunteering
The COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing concerns about health and safety continued to impact volunteering opportunities and participation, including charities cancelling volunteer plans due to COVID-19 outbreaks.
Notes
Employee Volunteering participation rate is defined as the total number of employees that recorded volunteering leave each financial year divided by the total number of employees (by headcount) as at 30 June in the corresponding year.
From FY21, data includes Defence Force and Emergency Services volunteering leave, reflecting AGL’s policy of providing paid leave for these volunteering activities. Previous years have not included this data. The FY22 participation rate and volunteering hours excluding Defence Force and Emergency Services volunteering leave were 6.4% and 1060 hours respectively.
FY22 data includes Perth Energy and Click Energy from 1 July 2021, Epho and Solgen from 1 October 2021 and Southern Phone Company from 30 April 2022.
