Stakeholder dialog

Continuous dialog with our internal and external stakeholders is an important element in the design and orientation of our business activities. The expectations of our stakeholders are taken into account in the strategic positioning of the company and when making business decisions. At the same time, we critically and constructively discuss the necessary conditions for the development of efficient, reliable and sustainable infrastructure with relevant stakeholders on the basis of transparent information. As part of this dialog, it is also important for us to listen to critical opinions such as those expressed at events held by our Energy & Climate Protection Foundation, at various other dialog events such as public information events, during tours of the EnBW wind farms or in background information talks with the local press, as well as in our internal bar camp on the theme of “Sustainability in dialog: understanding and shaping ESG.” It is our belief that mutual understanding, social acceptance and trust are increased further through this open and respectful exchange of insights and perspectives. It can also help us to identify central developments and key topics or risks at an early stage. The dialog with stakeholders thus contributes to the economic success of the company. Therefore, we will continue to intensify this dialog – with a special focus on the themes of energy infrastructure, the mobility transition, climate protection and sustainability.
