The REWE Group embodies reliability in challenging times. This was once again clear in 2025. Even though we faced challenges outside of our control, we achieved a historic milestone: for the first time, we generated total external revenue in excess of 100 billion euros. This achievement demonstrates the efficiency of our business model, the strength of our investments and the trust of millions of customers in Europe. The past year has thus once again highlighted what the cooperative REWE Group stands for: ensuring stability, taking responsibility and actively shaping the future.
