Integrity and compliance with the law form the foundation of our actions within the RWE Group. Individuals who, in good faith, report potential misconduct make a valuable contribution: they help identify risks at an early stage, prevent harm, and continuously improve our processes. In doing so, they support RWE’s long-term success.
Third parties, such as suppliers or other business partners, may contact our external contact person (Ombudsman). With the whistleblower’s consent, the Ombudsman forwards the report – anonymously if requested – to the Chief Compliance Officer or, in cases involving potential human rights violations, the Chief Human Rights Officer.
Our policies define clear responsibilities and established procedures for investigating compliance violations. Reports forwarded by the Ombudsman are promptly reviewed by the responsible teams, and the whistleblower is kept transparently informed about the further course of action. These policies ensure confidentiality and provide comprehensive protection for all parties involved.
