The energy sector transition is neither female nor male and concerns all of us.
Katja van Doren, CHO of RWE AG
This is why we promote equality between men and women at all levels. We especially empower women to strive for positions in leadership and STEM.
RWE supports its employees with a wide range of services to promote a healthy work-life-balance, because combining family and work can get relevant for both men and women: Various care options for children are only one example of this concept to support our employees in their work-life-balance.
“I am often the only woman among my male colleagues, so naturally I stand out sometimes. However, that doesn’t change the working atmosphere for me. Our team is respectful and open. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman, we’re all equal and nobody is excluded!”
The Womens’ Network of the RWE-group is where 245 women come together. A group-wide exchange is promoted with a yearly conference and working groups about current challenges of the energy economy. Here, women support and motivate each other to develop successful careers.
We also started a mentoring programme for women in STEM-jobs and the RWE female leader initiative, which empowers the network of women in leadership positions.
