We endeavour to create a working environment in which all employees receive the same recognition

Our Group employs people with a number of different skills and qualifications, including 2,270 severely handicapped individuals. RWE cultivates and promotes a working environment in which all employees receive the same recognition. We intend to step up our efforts concerning disabled persons’ affairs and the integration of people with ailments. This is why we initiated the “The Energy to Lead Disabled Policy” programme. We will make more use of ways to create ergonomic, handicap-friendly workplaces. An example of this is RWE Power’s participation in the “Jobs without Barriers” initiative launched by the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. We offer teenagers with hearing impairments a barrier-free training programme as a stepping stone to a career requiring qualifications.
