In the annual workplace assessment, employees are asked if they have suffered bullying, sexual harassment, or gender-based violence.
Previously, there was a year-on-year decrease in cases, but now there is an increase between years. The company's policy remains unchanged; such behaviour is not tolerated.
In 2021, the proportion of those who said they had been sexually harassed in the workplace in the last 12 months for the first time dropped to 0. Although the ratio was 0, two respondents said they had experienced such harassment. The same result came for 2022. In 2023, the number of respondents who had experienced such harassment increased by one, from two to three, bringing the percentage to 1%. Participation in the workplace assessment among employees was 94%.

In 2023, work also continued on the Idnir - vocational project; Industry and technology with children of all genders from Árbæjarskóli. Young people attend the optional course, which aims to arouse students' interest in industrial and technical jobs and introduce them to the diverse jobs and career opportunities that industrial and technical education offers. The program is varied and based on education, field trips and practical exercises. All companies within Reykjavík Energy participate in the project and the staff in teaching and preparation group is about 40.
