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=2026100305\"\n                            alt=\"Two people are standing at an athletics and sports complex, looking out at the event grounds.

Embrace Diversity.<\/h3>\n                                            <p class=\"post-teaser__excerpt\">Together with our LGBTIQ employee network, DITO, we are once again participating in numerous Christopher Street Days and Pride events this year. For the first time, we\u2019ll have trucks in six German cities, and we\u2019re also supporting numerous regional Pride events as well as initiatives organized by our regional offices and retailers. We are also sending a clear message of diversity at our locations in Austria, Italy, and Slovakia. <\/p>\n                    \n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n<\/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-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><div class=\"myblock-wrapper block-my-twitter-icon-teaser\" data-module-name=\"Teaser LinkedIn Icon\"><div class=\"myblock-wrapper\">\n    <div class=\"linkedin-teaser theme-blau--1-heller-highlight\" data-module-name=\".linkedin-teaser\">\n        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"linkedin-teaser__shape\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 120 120\" fill=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M0,45.97c15.57-10.14,31.06-16,45.73-16,28.73,0,38.64,28.24,38.64,48.55,0,12.43-3.2,26.53-8.98,41.48h44.6V0H0v45.97Z\"\/><\/svg>\n        <div class=\"contents\">\n            <div class=\"contents-inner\">\n                <h2 class=\"linkedin-teaser__headline\">\n                    Join the discussion on LinkedIn                <\/h2>\n                <div class=\"entry-content\">\n                    <p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Our LinkedIn feed has all the latest information from the REWE GROUP and the sector, with the most important developments from the worlds of retail, e-commerce, food, CSR and policy.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <p class=\"link\">\n                    <a\n                        href=\"https:\/\/de.linkedin.com\/company\/rewegroup\"\n                        class=\"linkedin-teaser__cta arrow-link\"\n                        target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"                    >\n                        To LinkedIn feed                    <\/a>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n                                            <div class=\"linkedin-teaser__icon\">\n                <span class=\"linkedin-teaser__glyph\" style=\"--linkedin-icon: url(&quot;https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/content\/themes\/reweg\/img\/icons\/dialog-01.svg?v=1790871161&quot;)\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":24825,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"23693,44321,9055,1920,19454,45126","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","nl_adhoc_sent":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"sales_line":[73],"focus_theme":[142],"class_list":["post-27832","press_release","type-press_release","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company","sales_line-rewe-digital","focus_theme-undefined"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press_release\/27832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press_release"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press_release"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press_release\/27832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28528,"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press_release\/27832\/revisions\/28528"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27832"},{"taxonomy":"sales_line","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sales_line?post=27832"},{"taxonomy":"focus_theme","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rewe-group.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/focus_theme?post=27832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
