Total contributions to community initiatives declined slightly by 1.2% compared to FY24, due to asset divestment/closures and reflecting a strategic shift toward consolidating social investments into larger, long-term partnerships, while gradually stepping away from one-off, ad hoc donations. AGL maintained its focus on creating meaningful and enduring social impact in the communities where it operates, strengthening relationships with community partners. Employee volunteering rose due to coordinated volunteering initiatives, making participation more accessible. Management costs declined after excluding pro-rata salaries for community roles, though AGL remains committed to adequately resourcing its community team and considers these salaries core business costs.

Workplace giving grew by 120%, driven by first full year operation of our new platform. It enables regular and one-off payroll donations, matched by AGL up to $5,000 annually, enhancing employee engagement. The platform’s flexibility and ease of use have fostered a more inclusive and proactive giving culture, with staff showing stronger commitment to causes they care about.
