Why E.ON remains committed to diversity, inclusion, and social impact
At E.ON, our mission goes beyond delivering energy solutions — we are dedicated to fostering a sustainable and socially responsible future.
In today’s rapidly changing world, businesses must play a proactive role in addressing not only environmental challenges but also broader social issues that impact communities worldwide.
For us, this means creating a company culture that prioritises inclusion, innovation, and meaningful contributions to society.
A broader commitment to social impact
As we navigate an era of climate urgency and energy transition, we recognise that social responsibility must be a core pillar of our business. We are committed to investing in programs that create positive change, ensuring that our workforce and the communities we serve reflect the principles of fairness, opportunity, and sustainability.
Supporting a fair energy transition
The global shift toward net-zero emissions requires large-scale collaboration, and we believe that no one should be left behind in this transformation. We are focused on:
- Investing in renewable energy: Expanding our clean energy portfolio to ensure access to affordable, sustainable power.
- Community engagement: Partnering with local organisations to support energy efficiency programs, particularly for vulnerable households.
- Green jobs and skills development: Providing training and career pathways in renewable energy and digital innovation to create opportunities for future generations.
Driving social progress through inclusion
While the transition to clean energy is crucial, its success depends on a diverse and empowered workforce. Our commitment to inclusion isn’t just about equity — it’s about ensuring different perspectives drive innovation in sustainable solutions.
Through initiatives like E.ON Life, we create flexible and supportive working environments that help employees bring their best selves to work. Our nine colleague-led inclusion networks also play a critical role in building an engaged and resilient workforce, fostering collaboration across backgrounds, experiences, and skill sets.
Our nine colleague-led inclusion networks, with over 2,500 members, play a pivotal role in fostering an inclusive culture:
• adaptAbility: Provides a safe space for colleagues with disabilities or long-term health conditions.
• Christian Network: Provides a community for colleagues to explore and share their faith.
• embRace: Facilitates conversations about race to promote awareness and equality.
• Fast Forward: Focuses on gender equality and women's career development.
• Fertility Forum: Offers support and resources for fertility-related challenges.
• LGBT+ and Friends: Encourages authenticity and supports LGBTQ+ colleagues.
• Menopause Matters: Raises awareness and offers support related to menopause.
• Neurodiversity: Promotes understanding and inclusion of neurodivergent individuals.
• Working Families: Supports colleagues in balancing work and family responsibilities.
Our responsibility in a changing world
The current climate crisis, economic uncertainty, and social inequality demand that companies take a broader view of their impact. At E.ON, we’re not just adapting to these changes — we are striving to lead by example. By integrating sustainability and inclusion into our core strategy, we are building a business that delivers long-term value for society, the environment, and the economy.
As we move forward, our focus remains clear: to empower people, protect the planet, and drive positive social change — because a truly sustainable future is one that benefits everyone. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
