Guidelines

Our guidelines establish a binding framework for action for us and our business partners.

  • Among other things, we have established requirements regarding labor, social, and environmental standards in our guidelines and in the Supplier Code of Conduct, specifically for the supply chain stages of raw material cultivation and processing. For business relationships with contractual partners in the REWE Group’s private-label supply chains, our guidelines define a binding framework for action, measures, and goals.

  • Guidelines for Environmental and Social Requirements in the Supply Chain and Business Operations

    In the Guidelines for Environmental and Social Requirements in the Supply Chain and Business Operations, published in 2011, the REWE Group documents the values the company stands for and thus creates a foundation for further guidelines that address compliance with social standards on the one hand and the protection of raw materials on the other.

Our overarching guidelines

Through our guidelines, we have defined minimum requirements for the value chains of our private-label brands regarding working conditions, human rights, and animal welfare. These commitments apply both to our own business activities and to our global supply and value chains.

Focus on raw materials

The RWE Group has a comprehensive supply chain management system in place to ensure compliance with minimum social and environmental standards throughout its global supply and value chains. To this end, the company relies on internationally recognized certification standards, collaborates with the industry on initiatives, launches projects, and formulates its own requirements within the framework of its guidelines for so-called focus raw materials and production facilities in high-risk countries.
