Overview
CEO statement

Providing entertainment and information for millions of people comes with great responsibility.

We continue to focus on the topics that are most relevant to our business and stakeholders: content, social and society, and climate change.

Freedom of expression is deeply rooted at RTL. We respect the independence of our newsrooms – giving them autonomy to make their own editorial decisions – we invest in diverse journalism, and we fight against restrictions on free speech. We recognise the growing role of technology in the media business, and take a responsible and ethical approach to the use of AI, with transparency and human oversight as guiding principles.

Our business is based on our people, their talent, creativity and dedication. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We are convinced that diversity is a key driver of creativity.

We strive to combine our business objectives with responsible action to protect the environment. Our goal is to further reduce our carbon footprint – halving CO2 emissions by 2030 – to protect future generations.

We outline our ambitions, initiatives and progress in the following sections:

By aligning our efforts we can drive meaningful impact – through the stories we tell, the culture we foster, and the steps we take to reach our climate targets.
