We invite our employees from around the world to share their stories and experiences so we can all learn and appreciate new perspectives. Our podcast series and internal articles, covering topics such as microaggressions, disability inclusion, the importance of Black History Month, and LGBT*IQ allyship give employees a chance to learn more about our diverse colleagues. Offering the opportunity to understand different experiences which may not have been exposed before, is just one of the many benefits of our diverse and inclusive culture.

Our employees are able to discuss what diversity means to them on a regular basis in person. For example, our Coffee Corner Exchanges engaged employees in meaningful conversations and fun diversity activities that they may not otherwise have been a part of in their day-to-day roles.

Covering topics and events from intercultural communication, privilege and movie lunchtimes, employees are able to ask and answer thoughtful questions on topics such as sexual identity, privilege, racial and gender equality, disability inclusion and more. Learning alongside colleagues is just one way in which we can collectively develop our DE&I mindset and foster our inclusive culture at RWE.

Global and local webinars address relevant and prevalent DE&I topics. Our webinars are often impactful and meaningful sessions that cover how important and beneficial it is to be different to those around you at work. Whilst inclusion is not always easy, it is something we must all strive towards by using our uniqueness to work together as an effective team.

Employees represent RWE at various Pride Marches including the RuhrPride March in Essen. LGBT*IQ colleagues and friends are a prime example of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Employees in various sites are often invited to engage in DE&I in creative ways. From sharing “What does Diversity Mean to You?” on our Diversity Tree or advocating for creative and cultural spins on our canteen menus for Diwali, everyone is encouraged to be involved.
