Positive Energy celebrates the power of our people to make a difference to the community. Through this website you can give your time or money by making a pre-tax donation to charity, volunteer to work on a community project or fundraise with the support of your colleagues and family and friends.

Which employees and subsidiaries can participate in Positive Energy?

The Positive Energy program applies to all permanent and block time employees of Beon, Citipower, Powercor and United Energy.

Positive Energy is part of our commitment to support our people to make a difference in the community. We know that our contribution to the community is an important part of attracting and retaining talented people. In addition, employee research has told us that you want choice when it comes to donating to a charity. That's why we've partnered with GoodCompany to develop this website to make it easy for you to volunteer, fundraise and donate to the charity of your choice.

We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and strongly believe that we can help drive positive and sustainable changes in our local communities. Our goal is to involve 30% of our people in volunteering and 40% in donating during 2024-2025.

Together we can make a big difference.

 Positive Energy is a one-stop-shop for all your donating, volunteering and fundraising needs.

We have responded to your feedback and introduced an OPEN model of donating, which means you can donate to one or more of the thousands of charity projects.

You can research, identify and apply for volunteer opportunities through the Positive Energy website which makes it easy to give your time to make a difference.

Best of all we will match your donations up to $100,000 per annum.
