RWE is a member of the Energy Sector Dialogue (Branchendialog Energiewirtschaft). This sector dialogue contributes significantly to the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and other European and international due diligence requirements. These sector dialogues are structured as participatory, multi-stakeholder processes.
The Energy Sector Dialogue is comprised of more than 20 members from companies, associations, trade unions, civil society organisations, initiatives, the German Institute for Human Rights and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. The Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection participate in the sector dialogue as observers.
The members of the industry dialogue collaborate to ensure that human rights are respected along global supply and value chains. They are guided by the objectives of the UN Guiding Principles. The overarching goal of the dialogues is to provide companies in the respective sectors with the support they need to implement due diligence requirements in an appropriate manner.
