Read our Code of ConductOUR VALUES
Our values – We Care, We Adapt, We Deliver – are the foundation of everything we do. They guide how we work with each other and how we engage with our partners, suppliers and communities. Living these values every day helps us create an environment where our people, our organisation and our stakeholders can thrive.
WE CARE
We demonstrate care by being inclusive and communicating openly. We prioritise physical and psychosocial safety and wellbeing, and consider the environmental and community impacts of our decisions. We support one another’s growth and success, and treat colleagues’ perspectives and contributions with respect.
WE ADAPT
Stanwell adapts and aligns with the energy needs and priorities of Queensland, and we look for people who are ready to grow with us and the changing energy industry. You’ll be encouraged to embrace change, be agile, and bring curiosity and continuous learning into your work. New ideas, diverse viewpoints and open discussion are welcomed. They’re how we move forward, together.
WE DELIVER
We’re focused on results, and we back it with action. We empower our people to be accountable, decisive and committed to quality outcomes. Working as one team, we deliver on our strategic goals and build trust by keeping our promises.
