    The REWE GROUP touches the lives of millions of customers. We want to make it easy for our customers to shop mindfully and help them make sustainable choices. We are committed to promoting a varied diet that includes plant-based foods as well as organic and regional products.<\/p>\n

We offer the largest selection of organic foods and are constantly expanding our regional and local offerings.<\/p>\n

    Our approach<\/h2>
      \n

    • For 2024, we calculated the breakdown of plant-based and animal-based products within the total food range (excluding drinks) of REWE and PENNY in Germany for the first time, based on the WWF\u2019s Planet-Based Diets Retailer Methodology. The proportion of plant-based products accounted for 54 per cent of total volumes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • When considering a balanced diet, we take into account, amongst other things, the recommendations of the Planetary Health Diet. REWE, PENNY Germany and BILLA stock plant-based products and alternatives across various product categories.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        As one of Europe\u2019s largest food retailers, we want to play an active role in shaping the future of plant-based nutrition. We believe it is our responsibility to play an active part in shaping the future of nutrition. As part of our protein strategy, REWE, PENNY Germany and BILLA are exploring plant-based, alternative and animal-based protein sources. This includes existing plant-based product ranges, as well as partnerships and innovations in the food tech sector.<\/p>\n

        We have set out on this journey \u2013 and are working on a holistic protein strategy for REWE, PENNY Germany and BILLA. With our protein strategy, we aim to raise awareness of balanced nutrition without being patronising. The protein strategy considers plant-based, alternative and animal-based protein sources, whilst taking into account the principles of a balanced diet.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/li>\n

              \n

              We actively promote a balanced diet through various projects and initiatives. Our wide range of organic products is one example.<\/p>\n

              Organic foods represent an important and growing consumer segment. Produced using more socially and environmentally sustainable methods and adhering to higher animal welfare standards, these products have a positive impact on people, animals, and the environment. This is an area where we can make a significant difference, particularly with our private-label brands. For the suppliers and farms that produce our organic private-label products, we have established a comprehensive set of requirements that, in many cases, exceed EU regulations on the production and labeling of organic products.<\/p>\n

              With a range of nearly 3,000 products at REWE and more than 500 at PENNY, we offer the largest selection of organic products in the German food retail sector. The REWE GROUP in Austria offers more than 1,100 organic products. And with around 1,000 REWE-brand organic products, REWE offers the largest private-label organic food selection of any German food retailer.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

                                        The future starts on your plate: the Planetary Health Diet – and why we are following it<\/h3>\n

                                        According to United Nations projections, up to ten billion people could be living in the world by 2050. Consequently, one of the major challenges of the future will be to feed these people healthily without overburdening our planet. As a food retailer and daily companion to our customers, we are working hard to tackle this challenge. <\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n<\/div>\n <\/li>\n
