The rainbow sticker symbolises tolerance and diversity, communicating to our employees and customers that we offer a space that is free from prejudice and where no one is excluded.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, we have brought the rainbow to toom Baumarkt stores, PENNY supermarkets and DER travel agencies. Each year, the REWE GROUP also hangs 2,500 rainbow flags outside its stores during Pride Month to demonstrate its solidarity with the cause.<\/p>\n<p>The rainbow stickers and flags send out a clear signal that we support tolerance and diversity; a gesture that is appreciated by our employees and customers alike.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        \n        \n

From her own career experience, she also knows that no one is perfectly prepared for a leadership position. Her advice to other women: Take it one step at a time\u2014with courage, curiosity, and confidence.<\/p>\n                    \n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/li>\n                                    <li class=\"posts-slider__slide medium\">\n                        <div class=\"post-teaser post-teaser_default medium type-post with-excerpt\">\n    <a\n        href=\"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/press-and-media\/newsroom\/stories\/sports-bring-people-together-inclusion-right-in-the-heart-of-the-neighborhood\/\"\n        class=\"post-teaser__inner text-focus\"\n        data-tracking=\"{&quot;event&quot;:&quot;click_teaser&quot;,&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.rewe-group.com\\\/en\\\/press-and-media\\\/newsroom\\\/stories\\\/sports-bring-people-together-inclusion-right-in-the-heart-of-the-neighborhood\\\/&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;Sports Bring People Together: Inclusion Right in the Heart of the Neighborhood&quot;,&quot;modul_name&quot;:&quot;.teaser-editorial&quot;}\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"post-teaser__background-wrapper\">\n            \n\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\/2026\/07\/Inklusionssportfest-1.jpg?t=2026100104\"\n                            alt=\"Two people are standing at an athletics and sports complex, looking out at the event grounds.

Florian S\u00f6rensen, manager of the sales department, tried it out for himself at the inclusive family sports festival in Berlin-Reinickendorf in early July. A few meters away, European Para-Badminton Champion Rick Hellmann was playing with guests. Fifty meters away, children were climbing a tower made of empty water crates, while at the many other booths, people were discussing the theme of the day: the self-determined participation of people with disabilities in social life.<\/p>\n                    \n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/li>\n                                    <li class=\"posts-slider__slide medium\">\n                        <div class=\"post-teaser post-teaser_default medium type-post with-excerpt\">\n    <a\n        href=\"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/press-and-media\/newsroom\/stories\/csd-2026-take-a-stand-embrace-diversity\/\"\n        class=\"post-teaser__inner text-focus\"\n        data-tracking=\"{&quot;event&quot;:&quot;click_teaser&quot;,&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.rewe-group.com\\\/en\\\/press-and-media\\\/newsroom\\\/stories\\\/csd-2026-take-a-stand-embrace-diversity\\\/&quot;,&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;CSD 2026: Take a Stand.
