A firm eye on the future

Seeing and understanding what consumers want and need is the bedrock of our work, across all of our companies and all of our business lines – from supermarkets, discounters, and DIY stores to (brick-and-mortar and digital) travel agencies to supply chains. We are deeply committed to social responsibility in all of these areas.

Working for a better world

We firmly believe that using resources wisely, treating our employees fairly and honestly, and contributing to the welfare of society are essential to the REWE Group’s continued growth.

Our commitment to sustainability

We all care about our world: Climate change, pollution, poor working conditions – there are many issues we need to tackle. As a company, we operate responsibly and strive to contribute to sustainability. What we do – and where we are.

  • Our commitments and projects

We reduce plastic waste.

By optimizing various aspects of our packaging, we have reduced plastic use by more than 8,900 tons a year at REWE and PENNY alone.

Our electricity is sustainable.

In 2008, we completed the switch to 100% renewable power at our stores, travel agencies, and offices.

We stop chick culling.

Our Seleggt technology has enabled us to sell more than 100 million eggs without chick culling since 2016.

We’re taking a stand

As one of Europe’s leading trade and tourism groups, we are at the centre of political developments relating to all aspects of wholesale/retail trade, food, sustainability, business, digitalization, and tourism. Our public affairs team takes an active role in these discussions and serves as a competent advisor to policy makers.

  • Our political work

Whether in the EU political arena or in the local regions:

Our public affairs experts are hard at work representing the interests of REWE Group from their bases in Cologne, Berlin, and Brussels.

Our Public Affairs team

Eleven employees of the REWE Group are entrusted with active political lobbying.

Our positions

From animal welfare to human rights in the supply chain to digitalization: Our positions are based on the experience and expertise of the more than 380,000 employees who help to shape our cooperative.

  • Our political positions

We offer perspectives.

We are constantly looking for employees who would like to help shape the future with us.

An employer with plenty to offer

As one of Europe’s largest trade and tourism groups, we offer unique opportunities for people who want to make things happen. Besides traditional sales work in our branches and stores, we offer 300 different careers and job profiles in our offices, stores, travel agencies, and warehouses. People who work for us and achieve a great deal can also expect to receive a great deal in return: We offer a work environment with plenty of freedom, opportunities for personal development, and varied work.
