Notes
During FY22, AGL has made contributions to various (non-government) industry associations for work done on particular issues or projects. These contributions are not included above. In addition, the associations are not included above except where AGL has also paid annual membership fees to them.
Due to the continuing integration of Click Energy Group Holdings Pty Ltd, some of their industry association memberships may not been included in this list. In addition, due to resource constraints, a small number of minor industry association memberships may not be included in the above list.
AGL’s view may differ on some issues from the industry groups to which we belong. Where this occurs on material issues, we aim to ensure that stakeholders are aware of these differences of view.
During FY22, the key area where AGL's views differed to those of the industry associations of which we are (or were) a member was climate change policy. There is general agreement among AGL and our industry associations about the principles that should guide Australia’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and climate change policy framework. There is also general agreement that Australia’s climate change objectives are most efficiently managed at a national level, rather than by state governments developing jurisdictional targets and policies. There may, however, be some disagreement among these associations about the particular mechanisms to achieve these outcomes and the prioritisation of particular principles to guide the policy pathway, with different organisations prioritising industry competitiveness, the use of market-based mechanisms, accelerating the use of renewable energy, energy affordability, policy stability, or the integration of climate change and renewable energy policies. Most organisations agree that a sectoral approach for electricity generation is appropriate.
During FY22 AGL elected not to renew its former membership of the following industry associations as a result of ongoing review of the value provided by member organisations and alignment with AGL's internal requirements: Business SA, Chamber of Commerce & Industry WA, International Gas Union, Weld Australia, Workplace Giving Australia.
