Energy is one of the most important factors in our lives. Energy issues like climate-friendly generation and efficient consumption increasingly affect international politics, the global economy, and our everyday lives. As a leading energy company with significant technological and financial capabilities, E.ON is committed to being a driving force in shaping a sustainable energy future. E.ON drives change but is also prepared to change itself and adapt to the future. We think ahead. As part of this ongoing process, we ask ourselves questions. About the relationship between our company's size and its responsibilities. About our attractiveness to employees and investors. About our strategic focus and objectives. About our company's organizational setup. The answers to these questions guide our actions as we strive to achieve a balance between the three main energy-supply objectives--security, climate friendliness, and affordability--and thus to shape the future of energy.
