Energy, Climate and the Environment

As a large trading, travel and tourism company, REWE Group is aware of its responsibility and is actively contributing to climate protection and the environment.In doing so, the company has identified three central spheres of activity: increasing energy efficiency, reducing emissions and conserving resources. REWE Group has developed individual steps for each topic. Group-wide energy efficiency management continually analyses the weak points, generates tailored solutions and evaluates their effectiveness. The share of renewable sources in the energy mix in the past was increased to 100 per cent. REWE Group is also employing a multitude of technologies and methods to save energy, cut emissions and preserve resources in its stores, as well as at its warehouses, administration and production sites.

Energy efficiency and preserving resources pay off for REWE Group in two respects. First of all, the company makes an important contribution to protecting the climate and the environment. Secondly, it reduces its business risk. As a result, the company is less dependent on classic fossil fuels, whose prices have increased drastically in recent years and will also continue to rise in the future.

Insofar, REWE Group has done valuable work in the area of Energy, Climate and the Environment in both an ecological and economical respect. The stakeholders and employees of REWE Group, not to mention society as a whole, stand to benefit from this. After all, taking action for the environment secures the quality of life of people - today and in the future.
