Through our regional programs throughout Germany, we promote regional structures and increase animal welfare through short transport routes. The REWE sales line, for example, offers meat from pigs that are mainly kept on straw under the &#8220;Strohwohl&#8221; and &#8220;Landbauern&#8221; brands.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        \n            <\/div>\n<\/div>                <\/li>\n                                            <li>\n                    \n    <div\n    class=\"text-teaser bg-image dark-bg-section text-color-white link-hover-color-yellow without-link\"  data-module-name=\".teaser-contentmodul\">\n            <div class=\"text-teaser__background-wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"focused-image-container\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                    class=\"focused-image\"\n                    data-focus-x=\"0.00\"\n                    data-focus-y=\"0.00\"\n                    src=\"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/schweine-schweinestall-initiative-tierwohl-rewe-group-penny-tierwohl-tierwohlstandard.jpg?t=2026060705\"\n                    alt=\"\"\n                    srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/schweine-schweinestall-initiative-tierwohl-rewe-group-penny-tierwohl-tierwohlstandard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/schweine-schweinestall-initiative-tierwohl-rewe-group-penny-tierwohl-tierwohlstandard.jpg?t=2026060705 2560w\"\n                    aria-description=\"\"\n                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                                    >\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"text-teaser__inner reweg-teaser-main\">\n        <h2 class=\"text-teaser__title smaller\">Initiative Tierwohl (Animal Welfare Initiative)<\/h2>\n                    <div class=\"text-teaser__text entry-content\">\n                <p>As a founding member, we play a leading role in the development of the &#8220;Animal Welfare Initiative&#8221; and are committed to improving industry-wide animal welfare standards.

guideline based on the DERTOUR Group policy statement on animal welfare was developed back in 2017. This is implemented consistently with all partners, animal welfare experts and industry bodies worldwide in a continuous process.<\/p>\n<p>The DERTOUR Group is committed to consistently strengthening animal welfare in tourism. DERTOUR Group has excursions and offers that could be associated with risks to animal welfare checked by independent animal welfare experts in audits based on the detailed criteria catalog of the animal welfare guideline.<\/p>\n<p>Through continuous dialogue with providers, the travel industry and animal welfare organizations, DERTOUR Group is working to make existing offers more animal-friendly, to develop innovative solutions for responsible animal experiences and to contribute to a long-term sustainable improvement in animal welfare standards in tourism.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        \n                    <ul class=\"text-teaser__links\">\n                                                            <li>\n                            <span class=\"arrow-link\">To the guideline<\/span>\n                        <\/li>\n                                                <\/ul>\n            <\/div>\n<\/a>                <\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-white\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-2columns row-full-2columns my-row-block row-full\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-2columns-cell row-cell row-full-2columns-cell my-cell-block\"><div class=\"myblock-wrapper block-my-text-teaser-gallery\" data-module-name=\"Teaser Contentmodul\"><div class=\"text-tasers-wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"text-taser-slider\">\n    <div class=\"text-taser-slider__slider\">\n        <ul class=\"rwgs__inner\">\n                                            <li>\n                    \n    <a href=\"https:\/\/rewe-group-nachhaltigkeitsbericht.de\/2024\/en\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"    class=\"text-teaser bg-color bg-color__light-gradient with-1-link\"  data-module-name=\".teaser-contentmodul\">\n        <div class=\"text-teaser__inner reweg-teaser-main\">\n        <h2 class=\"text-teaser__title smaller\">Strategic approach<\/h2>\n                    <div class=\"text-teaser__text entry-content\">\n                <p>In the guideline for more animal welfare, we define a binding framework for action on the subject of animal-friendly husbandry, the production of animal products and general animal welfare for REWE and PENNY in Germany.

We are pursuing the goal of anchoring more animal welfare in our supply chains.
