The Code of Conduct adopted in the autumn of 2005 establishes rules of behaviour in compliance with the principles of corporate governance for RWE staff throughout the Group. This set of rules ensures that employees behave within a pre-defined framework both when cooperating within the organization as well as in dealing with customers, shareholders, suppliers and consultants. In light of the public debate on the consulting activities of professional politicians, we decided to lay down some clear rules in this area as well. RWE welcomes its employees’ occupying honorary political positions and becoming involved in social volunteering. However, anyone who holds a public office full-time or exercises a political mandate, is not eligible for employment with RWE as a staff member or consultant.
