The Origin Energy story

Origin is one of Australia's leading energy companies, exploring, generating and delivering energy to over 4 million customer accounts. Our purpose – getting energy right for our customers, communities and planet – drives everything we do. As Australia's largest energy retailer, we have an important role to play in providing electricity, natural gas, solar and LPG to Australian communities and work every day to make energy more affordable, more sustainable, smarter and easier for our customers. We are committed to leading the transition to a cleaner energy future and believe in our company. The energy industry should be at the forefront of action to reduce carbon emissions. Origin was the first Australian company to set an emissions reduction target endorsed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – aiming to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 2032, as we work towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Through the Origin Energy Foundation, we support programs that use education to help break the cycle of disadvantage and empower young Australians to reach their potential, contributing more than $27 million to support community organisations since 2010.

Culture & vibe

Guided by Origin's purpose and values, they aspire to create a place where everyone feels comfortable and safe to be themselves at work.   Origin relentlessly encourages diversity of thought because when they  embrace their differences, they are better at learning, listening, collaborating, and making unbiased decisions. 

When we’re inclusive, we innovate, solve problems, and better serve the needs of our diverse customers. That’s good for people. Organisations that are more inclusive and diverse achieve better business outcomes and are unequivocally more profitable. That’s good for business.
