Case Study: Innogy achieves faster onboarding, cost savings, and sustainability gains with Adobe Acrobat Sign

Innogy achieves high returns by using Adobe Sign to boost productivity and improve experiences

Innogy, an RWE AG company, wanted to modernize HR operations to match its forward-looking, sustainable brand. The UK HR administration team faced slow, paper-based contract workflows that could take up to two weeks, incurred printing and postage costs, introduced errors and delays, and weakened the candidate experience in a competitive hiring market.

Innogy implemented Adobe Sign (Adobe Document Cloud) to send contracts directly to recipients, enabling documents to be signed in minutes (as fast as five minutes). The HR team now processes about 425 contracts monthly, eliminated printing/postage, saved roughly 2,800 gallons of water, 230+ pounds of waste, and 920+ pounds of wood per month, cut document-prep time by about 10%, improved accuracy and tracking, and achieved strong ROI while enhancing both internal and external experiences.
