Fossil Free AGL


This campaign focuses on AGL's greenwashing to compel them to develop a plan to get out of fossil fuels.
AGL must outline a plan by its 2017 AGM showing how it will transition out of all fossil fuel extraction, generation and supply by 2026.

About

Energy giant AGL wants us to believe that it is a clean and green company. It’s website is full of images of shiny solar panels and wind turbines and the CEO tours the globe talking about climate action. In fact, it is neck deep in the dirty energy business. AGL is Australia’s biggest climate polluter.

In 2016 it is time for AGL to have an ambitious and fair plan to get out of fossil fuels. As Australia’s biggest polluter, the company is critical to a rapid move away from dirty power. Through bringing together a movement of customers, shareholders, communities impacted by AGL and those already feeling the impacts of climate change we will give Australia’s biggest polluter no choice but to get out of the dirty energy business.
