Origin Sustainability Actions

Published climate transition plans

Origin says it released its first Climate Transition Action Plan in 2022 and a second one in 2025. These plans set out its 2030 emissions reduction targets and its longer-term aim to reach net zero by 2050. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing the rest. The company says the newer plan reaffirms the same targets and covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, which are direct emissions, purchased energy emissions, and other emissions across the value chain.

Expanded renewable energy assets

Origin says it has recently acquired the Yarrabee Solar Farm development project in New South Wales and the Carisbrook Solar Farm in Victoria. It describes these purchases as part of a wider push to grow its renewable and storage portfolio. The company also says it owns the Shoalhaven Pumped Hydro Scheme, which stores energy using water and can help balance supply when demand changes. These steps point to a shift toward cleaner electricity sources, even though the business still operates gas and coal assets.

Installed rooftop solar at scale

Origin says it has installed more than 1.8 million solar panels and has over 15 years of experience in solar. It also says it has put more solar panels on Australian rooftops than any other electricity or gas retailer. This shows the company has been active in household solar for a long time. The page also says customers can get quotes for solar, batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers, which suggests Origin is trying to link energy supply with home electrification.

Published 2026 sustainability reporting

Origin says its 2026 sustainability reporting is included in its 2026 Annual Report. It says this reporting covers climate-related financial disclosures and environmental, social, and governance performance. ESG means environmental, social, and governance issues, or how a company manages its impact on people and the planet. Publishing this kind of reporting gives readers a way to track progress, although the page does not provide all underlying data in the excerpt shown.

Uses ISO 14001 systems

Origin says its environmental management work follows ISO 14001, an international standard for managing environmental impact. It says this system helps with pollution prevention, legal compliance, and better environmental performance. The company also says its environmental departments work under a governance structure that includes board oversight and a Global Green Committee. That suggests its environmental work is built into internal decision-making rather than left to one team alone.
