Overview + Highlights :
Ampol Limited is an independent Australian company and the nation’s leader in transport fuels. They supply the country’s largest branded petrol and convenience network, as well as refining, importing, and marketing fuels and lubricants.
Ampol went through a rebrand in 2020 and with a new brand, strategy and purpose in place, Ampol’s long-standing workplace giving program Fuelling Change was identified as a key focus area to engaging employees to make a positive impact on their own communities.
Following a thorough review process, their aim was to preserve long-term employee participation in the program, maintain relationships with longstanding partners, and launch new partners into the program to align to CSR strategy, as well as drive increased engagement with program.
Their process included:
• Engaging the current donor base in a survey about their experience with the program
• Engaging Workplace Giving Australia for general advice and researching case studies of other successful programs.
• Analysis of the current sign-up process which identified ‘barriers’ to sign up and participation. This resulted in the creation of a simple online form to donate in ‘two clicks’ as well as integration into the new starter on-boarding form
• Engaging the Ampol Leadership Team to ensure a 100% executive sign-up rate, and active promotion of the program
• Developing a comprehensive communications plan
