On our way to becoming one of the most sustainable energy companies in the world, we know that change starts with ourselves and can only succeed if we move forward together with determination.

With the RWE Foundation, we want to use our energy to bring about lasting change in the social sphere too, so that we can help make a difference in society in the long term.

Quote

"Acting responsibly, together – this principle has been part of our company’s DNA for 125 years. With the RWE Foundation and its initial capital of €125 million, we are once again underlining our commitment to society."

Our international contribution

Together, we can make a real difference. The RWE Foundation is active in many European countries: we focus on supporting educational projects, thereby helping to improve the living conditions of those affected. Thanks to our commitment to social participation and greater equality of opportunity, we are helping young people to expand their future prospects. We are aware that we cannot solve the world’s challenges on our own. But we take on the responsibility that comes with being a global company – and aim to make a real difference.

What is our goal?

As the Foundation is designed for the long term, its statutes allow it to provide wide-ranging support for charitable projects. It can become active itself or makes funds available to other corporate bodies in Germany and abroad for the implementation of charitable purposes.
