ESG Profile

At RTL we entertain, inform, engage – and we inspire and connect millions of people around the world.

RTL is a leader across broadcast, content and digital in Europe. With this unique market position and our global reach, we are able to make a real impact. We are aware that with this position comes a duty to act in a socially responsible manner. Moreover, our employees, audiences and societies expect it from us. This responsibility has always been one of our key values and an important factor for our success over the years. As we continue to grow, we are committed to integrating sustainability in our daily business and within our value chain. Our Corporate Responsibility strategy is based on three pillars: Content, Social & Society and Climate Change. In 2020 we reassessed our CR priorities in a survey with internal and external stakeholders.

Being a provider of information and entertainment for millions of people carries a great responsibility.

To understand which CR topics are most important for RTL Group’s success, we recently asked internal and external stakeholders to help us identify our key priorities as follows:

Content
Social & Society (with a particular focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI))
Climate change

Our clear set of brand principles defines who we are, what we do and what we stand for. RTL stands for entertainment, independent journalism, inspiration, energy and attitude with one overriding purpose: just inspire. We respect people, the natural world and the communities we serve. We take a stand and embrace diversity and cohesion, sustainability and humanity. We think globally and act locally.
