For 2030 we seek to achieve a reduction of over 70% for emissions per MWh of produced electricity (Scope 1 + 2) and a reduction of 42% in indirect emissions from our upstream and downstream value chain (Scope 3), both from a 2022 baseline. By 2040, we want to achieve Net Zero by reducing greenhouse gas emissions even further with remaining emissions being offset by carbon credits or own projects. We are walking the talk when transitioning: By reducing coal-fired power generation step by step until we close our last unit in 2030, by planning for transforming our natural gas assets and by looking at important levers to reduce our footprint with suppliers, customers and partners, e.g. on green steel and concrete. We are going through this change with the people in mind and aim to transition in a just and fair manner, taking care for the employees and communities affected by the shift from coal to renewables.

Corporate Responsibility is part of the contribution RWE makes to sustainable development and responsible business management. Everything from environmental protection and climate-change mitigation, social concerns and human rights through to responsible corporate governance is taken into account – as RWE does justice to its responsibility in every sense.

Our aim is not just to report on our business activities transparently. We also want to explain how and why we make our decisions. Our annually published report contains the key information about RWE and its subsidiary companies, our long-term goals and what we have already achieved along the way.
