RWE

The energy sector transition is neither female nor male and concerns all of us. This is why we promote equality between men and women at all levels. Like all DAX-listed companies, RWE has to make sure, among other things, that at least 30% of the Supervisory Board is female and at least 30% male. And, because we’re determined to see more women in leading positions, RWE has set up a training programme to help female executives prepare themselves for a seat on the Supervisory Board.

Additionally, our RWE women’s network promotes free and open exchange of ideas and experiences and encourages members to aim high in their career goals. We’ve also set up plenty of similar initiatives, including a platform for female employees with qualifications in maths, IT, science and technology, offering career support and opportunities for networking.

Career opportunities

These are just an example of the types of job opportunity the company offers. More information on available positions will be available at the Summit.
