CEO RWE AG

“Everyone at RWE should be able to deal openly with their sexual orientation and identity – this is important for each individual and for the entire company. The new LGBT*IQ & Friends network sets a clear signal for diversity, tolerance and respect.”

CTO RWE Power, Lignite Division (CTO) and sponsor of the LGBT*IQ & friends network

“In the Rhineland we have a saying: every Jeck is different. I think it is right and important to fly the flag. So as far as my commitment to the network is concerned, I didn't just "sign up for something", it is a commitment out of solidarity. And I also have a very clear motto here: I treat everyone the way I would like to be treated. A diverse working world is necessary for the future and we can be glad that we have the LGBT*IQ & Friends Network.”
