Our governance
Energy Queensland is committed to conducting business legally, ethically and responsibly, with strong governance practices that reflect the trust placed in us by Queensland communities.
Our governance framework supports the delivery of our business objectives while ensuring we meet our ethical, social and environmental responsibilities. This framework is founded on clearly defined policies, processes and behaviours that promote integrity, accountability and transparency across the organisation.
As a Government Owned Corporation, Energy Queensland reports to the Queensland Government through our shareholding Ministers and is governed by an independent Board of Directors. The Board provides effective oversight and strategic direction for the Energy Queensland Group and its subsidiary businesses, balancing the interests of shareholders, customers, employees, industry partners and the broader community.
Our corporate governance practices align with the Queensland Government’s Corporate Governance Guidelines for Government Owned Corporations ensuring a robust and contemporary approach to governance and risk management.
Our shareholding Ministers are the Treasurer, Minister for Energy and Minister for Home Ownership, and the Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training.
To achieve our solid governance foundation requires a robust corporate governance framework of our policies and practices that have been adopted by the Board and management, who encourage our staff to carry out their duties in an ethical and responsible manner, protecting the community interest and our company’s integrity.
Energy Queensland Limited is a Government Owned Corporation (GOC) reporting to the Queensland Government via two shareholding Ministers, on behalf of the communities across Queensland.

Our corporate governance practices are in line with the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations (4th edition), where applicable, and the Queensland Government’s Corporate Governance Guidelines for Government Owned Corporations.
