RWE has joined the club of mission-driven companies with an obvious raison d'être:
"Providing local authorities with the means to deploy renewable energies on a large scale, placing social and environmental practices at the heart of decision-making."
To embody this raison d'être, four objectives have been defined:
Objective 1
Developing tomorrow's energy solutions by supporting research and innovation.
Objective 2
Contribute to the sharing of information and knowledge relating to renewable energies to encourage collective action.
Objective 3
Develop a green economy and encourage local stakeholders (local authorities, citizens, businesses) to share in the value generated by projects.
Objective 4
Make environmental protection (biodiversity, carbon impact, circularity) a central focus of our projects and our activities in general.
An experienced and diverse Mission Committee
The role of the Mission Committee is essential. It provides the expertise to implement the mission and achieve the associated objectives. RWE has therefore appointed a team made up of experienced internal managers and external experts in energy transition and from the agricultural and maritime worlds.
It is a team with equal representation and a wealth of experience that will support the work on RWE's social and environmental objectives in France.
