Your chance to join us as a Trustee

Ever wondered who’s keeping watch over your pension scheme? 

The RWE Group Trustees, a dedicated board of 12, bring together unique voices, experience and commitment to help safeguard your interests and guide the RWE Group’s future. 

Made up of current and former employees of RWE, the Group Trustees represent you – they are appointed by the company or nominated by fellow members, just like you. Each Group Trustee brings a new perspective helping to ensure that the RWE Group remains secure for all its members. 

Responsibilities 

The role of the Group Trustees goes beyond just overseeing investments. Working with a team of advisers on your behalf the Group Trustees apply the formal rules to manage the RWE Group. They represent over 24,000 members and have a duty to treat members fairly and equally, without favouring any particular individual, sector or group of members. 

In carrying out their duties the Group Trustees help to ensure: 

1. that members receive their benefits in line with the formal rules; 

2. that benefits are paid on time; 

3. that expenses are controlled; and 

4. the assets (over £4 billion) are managed responsibly. 

As part of their role the Group Trustees also work closely with the company to monitor the companies sponsoring the RWE Group to help ensure the RWE Group is appropriately supported and funded. 

Being a Group Trustee doesn’t mean you need to have a finance background or be a pensions expert. Technical training, professional assistance and ongoing support will be provided from the start. However, you will need enthusiasm and commitment to fulfil this challenging and rewarding role.
