When it comes to fruit or vegetables that can be stored, such as apples or potatoes, we can take different measured compared to a sensitive product, such as raspberries. It also depends on whether the produce has a short growing cycle which we can still influence, depending on the country, such as the potato example above. If we are talking about stone fruits, where you can\u2019t just plant a tree and then harvest it soon after, then we need to be able to quickly turn to other producers. The product itself determines our response.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\u003cstrong\\u003eEugenio Guidoccio:\\u003c\/strong\\u003e Our fundamental position is always to establish sustainable supply chains with suppliers and to develop partnerships which create loyalty to us.

What you need to understand is that organic fruit and vegetables are grown without chemical pesticides or mineral fertilisers, which means that there are likely to be more natural blemishes, wonky fruit or discolouration. These supposed imperfections have no effect on quality. We therefore made a conscious decision to sell the fresh, perhaps imperfect-looking, produce from this labour-intensive practice \u2013 and our clear goal was to prevent food waste. It was important not to package the Bio-Helden separately, but to simply mix them with the rest of the \u2018normal\u2019 organic range, which means that sometimes the proportion is higher, sometimes lower. This is also the best solution for our farmers, as it means they don\u2019t have to spend time separating their produce.

I am convinced that given our business success and the dynamic growth we\u2019ve achieved over the last five years, we still have tremendous potential for even more innovative and rapid development. Group-wide collaboration and cooperation in cross-sectional areas and activities play a key role here. All of our future Group Management Board members are outstanding and competent managers who believe with a passion in our cooperative company\u2019s values, and also set an example for the rest of the workforce in this regard. In addition, our many years of cooperation with one another have made us an experienced and well-coordinated team.

Numerous innovations both large and small have had a positive impact on the development of our stationary business models and have also led to the creation of entirely new formats. Given this very dynamic and successful development, it makes sense to divide the work in the REWE Group Management Board among a larger number of people \u2013 and this will also ensure that an adequate level of efficiency can be maintained. In my view, it\u2019s especially pleasing that as we expand the Management Board, we are able to once again fall back on managers from our own ranks \u2013 managers who have demonstrated their commitment and expertise over many successful years at REWE Group. In particular when filling our top management positions, it is important that we act in line with our cooperative principles and values; we believe in long-term oriented thinking and action that will safeguard sustainable success across generations.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nSpeaking about the departure of S\u00f6ren Hartmann from the Management Board at the end 2022, Lionel Souque had the following to say: \u201cThrough his outstanding work and untiring dedication, S\u00f6ren Hartmann made a decisive contribution to expanding DER Touristik Group into an organisation that was able to secure for itself a leading position in the German and European tourism industry \u2013 and I am extremely grateful to him for this achievement.\u201d REWE Group Supervisory Board Chairman Erich Stockhausen added: \u201cS\u00f6ren Hartmann structured our Travel and Tourism division in a manner that will enable it to emerge from the crisis in a strong position. I am very grateful to him for that \u2013 and for his many years of successful work with DER Touristik Group and in the REWE Group Management Board.\u201d\",\"_textblock_content\":\"field_5f85c3517327d\",\"link\":\"\",\"_link\":\"field_5fb6afba326c9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside row-margin-aside my-row-block row-margin\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-aside -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside-cell-aside row-cell row-margin-aside-cell-aside my-cell-block\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-aside -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside-cell-main row-cell row-margin-aside-cell-main my-cell-block\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-article-explainer {\"id\":\"block_62320418a0cf9\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-article-explainer\",\"data\":{\"article_explainer_post\":181,\"_article_explainer_post\":\"field_5f6debdfe29bb\",\"article_explainer_opened\":\"1\",\"_article_explainer_opened\":\"field_5f7bk4dwbd6c5\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-contact-person {\"id\":\"block_62320422a0cfa\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-contact-person\",\"data\":{\"contact_person_type\":\"contact\",\"_contact_person_type\":\"field_vf44r23abmrk4\",\"contact_person\":2673,\"_contact_person\":\"field_vf44r23ak4ie9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section {\"bgColor\":\"gray\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-gray section-padding-top section-padding-bottom\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-full-single -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-post-slider {\"id\":\"block_6232043fa0cfb\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-post-slider\",\"data\":{\"post_slider_layout\":\"slider\",\"_post_slider_layout\":\"field_5f725c7k3e21q\",\"post_slider_headline\":\"Read more\",\"_post_slider_headline\":\"field_5f89611b6b259\",\"post_slider_copy\":\"\",\"_post_slider_copy\":\"field_5fcfc7db7a166\",\"post_slider_categories\":\"\",\"_post_slider_categories\":\"field_5f8962476b25b\",\"post_slider_tags\":\"\",\"_post_slider_tags\":\"field_5fdk3id76b25b\",\"post_slider_post_types\":\"\",\"_post_slider_post_types\":\"field_5f8962d66b25c\",\"post_slider_posts\":\"\",\"_post_slider_posts\":\"field_5fb5f510f57d1\",\"post_slider_links\":\"\",\"_post_slider_links\":\"field_5f8963956b25e\",\"post_slider_number\":\"8\",\"_post_slider_number\":\"field_5f896fbad9394\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-full-single --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-white section-padding-top section-padding-bottom\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-full-single -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-twitter-icon-teaser {\"id\":\"block_62320454a0cfc\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-twitter-icon-teaser\",\"data\":{\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"preview\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-full-single --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/template-root -->","post_title":"REWE Group expands Management Board","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rewe-group-expands-management-board","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-05 12:18:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-05 10:18:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rewegroupcom.psl.dev\/de\/?post_type=press_release&#038;p=22869","menu_order":0,"post_type":"press_release","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"date":"16.03.2022","headline":"REWE Group expands Management Board","excerpt":"The REWE Group appointed Christoph Eltze as at 1 July 2022 and Dr Daniela B\u00fcchel, Peter Maly and Hans-J\u00fcrgen Moog as at 1 January 2023 to the Management Board.

Yesterday (2 May), the impressive building was awarded the prestigious Store of the Year 2022 accolade by the German Retail Federation (HDE) at the German Retail Property Congress. The unique concept combines outstanding, modular supermarket architecture with sustainable construction and operation as well as an aquaponic rooftop farm for the production of food in an urban environment. With the extraordinary interior design, product range composition, and staging, the innovative REWE supermarket serves as a role model for the sector.\\r\\n\\r\\n\u201cThe customer-focused role of a full-range store is currently changing from a monofunctional food store to a multifunctional service provider in all aspects relating to food. To remain relevant for the future, modern supermarkets therefore have to combine more conceptual elements by linking with digital services, such as collection and drop-off service points, for example, while also expanding their convenience, regional, vegan, organic, and gastronomic product ranges,\u201d explains REWE Group Board Member Peter Maly. \u201cIn conjunction with changing local factors, this makes a supermarket an active urban unit within the neighbourhood. Something it has never had to be before in its history. This resulted in our decision not to further develop the old REWE green building concept, but to entirely rethink the supermarket of the future. We are therefore delighted with the award and the recognition of our concept.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nThe conceptual forerunner of REWE Green Farming was the first REWE green building pilot store in Berlin-Rudow in 2009. The underlying concept won many national and international awards. Since then, the rollout has been based on a model construction specification, which has been awarded multiple certification by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB e.V.). Since 2012,\\r\\n\\r\\nmore than 220 stores have been built according to this concept and more than 100 more are currently under construction or in the planning stage. In early 2016, thoughts turned to a new generation of REWE green buildings as a successor to the previous concept. In the summer of 2016, this culminated in an architectural competition in which REWE was not disclosed as the client and the number of internal parties involved was restricted to give the designers the greatest possible creative freedom. The result was REWE Green Farming in Wiesbaden: a pilot store and prototype for REWE\u2019s future new generation of sustainable supermarkets. A new, adaptable, sustainable, and modular store concept that can be adapted, conceptually and constructively, to different location typologies. Not every new REWE Green Farming store has to include a rooftop farm. This will only be implemented at suitable, selected locations.\\r\\n\\r\\nAn analysis of the pilot store is currently ongoing to identify possible improvements. The findings will be incorporated into a standard concept, culminating in a model construction specification for a wide variety of locations for a future, nationwide rollout. At the same time, the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) is developing a multiple certificate for the latest generation of green REWE stores so that they can be built and certified both efficiently and sustainably. Wiesbaden-based REWE Green Farming is also already achieving its economic goals, which is why deriving an optimised model concept on the basis of this also makes economic sense.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Store of the Year retail property award is presented annually by the German Retail Federation (HDE) in the categories Food, Fashion, Home\/Living, Out of Line, and Concept Store to newly opened or renovated retail stores. A prominent panel of judges evaluates the competitors based on degree of innovation, customer benefit, value creation potential, experiential value, model character, and unique selling proposition. They assess the space and design for the store, the composition of the product range, the staging of goods, the human factor, including specialist training, and POS digitisation.\",\"_textblock_content\":\"field_5f85c3517327d\",\"link\":\"\",\"_link\":\"field_5fb6afba326c9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"}

For success, however, it is not simply about putting together a varied team. Woman, man, one younger person, one older person. That\u2019s not enough.\\r\\n\\r\\nWhat you need is diversity of professional and personal skills. For one thing, the input of people with different areas of expertise is hugely valuable. For example, if I develop an IT application, not only do I bring developers into the team, but also the users.

The website displayed the specialist\u2019s details and customers could contact them,\u201d explains Benjamin Kraut, Vice President Marketing.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe still thinks it was a good idea. \u201cUnfortunately, it didn\u2019t work particularly well because the customer\u2019s real focus is finding a holiday, and therefore the search for a specialist is secondary.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nAfter a number of different user experience (UX) trials, the team decided to take a different tack. \u201cWith reise-spezialisten.com, we have developed a digital holiday planning service. Customers initially enter a kind of funnel and answer a number of questions: who are you travelling with, when do you want to travel, where do you want to go, etc. Based on the responses, an algorithm identifies the most suitable specialist for the customer\u2019s holiday requirements and criteria. Customers can contact the specialist there and then, by chat, video call, phone or email. We are therefore giving customers the full range of options for getting advice.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nBenjamin Kraut is happy to report that the new concept is working: \u201cWe now have a significantly higher conversion rate on the site.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nSince the start of the year, reise-spezialisten.com has featured a further innovation. Each customer is taken to a personalised landing page where they receive a customised travel offer combining a number of different elements. Benjamin Kraut: \u201cThis might be the aforementioned round-trip to South Africa including the corresponding flights, lodging, helicopter flight over Cape Town, etc. In other words, every customer receives a tailored offer which can be accessed in a digital format. This is a proprietary solution that we developed for reisespezialisten.com.\",\"_textblock_content\":\"field_5f85c3517327d\",\"link\":\"\",\"_link\":\"field_5fb6afba326c9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section {\"paddingTop\":0,\"paddingBottom\":0} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-white\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside row-margin-aside my-row-block row-margin\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-aside -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside-cell-aside row-cell row-margin-aside-cell-aside my-cell-block\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-aside -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside-cell-main row-cell row-margin-aside-cell-main my-cell-block\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-article-about-person {\"id\":\"block_62d12245dd382\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-article-about-person\",\"data\":{\"article_about_person_object\":19450,\"_article_about_person_object\":\"field_5f73523a2a7dd\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section {\"paddingTop\":0,\"paddingBottom\":0} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-white\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside row-margin-aside my-row-block row-margin\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-aside -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside-cell-aside row-cell row-margin-aside-cell-aside my-cell-block\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-aside -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside-cell-main row-cell row-margin-aside-cell-main my-cell-block\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-text-block {\"id\":\"block_62d01fe8e7c08\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-text-block\",\"data\":{\"headline\":\"Attracting customers with AI\",\"_headline\":\"field_5fb7d7d0cbc12\",\"textblock_headline_size\":\"small\",\"_textblock_headline_size\":\"field_5f6b7vkf406b6\",\"textblock_content\":\"Artificial intelligence (AI) is the second area of focus for the digital team at DER Reiseb\u00fcros. \u201cWe receive many very similar enquiries.

If the customer writes: \u201cOkay, I\u2019d like to book, please give me a call,\u201d then of course we have to step in.

Since the new year, we have been using a new process for reactivating inactive customers and are also deploying AI here. We automatically analyse the customer\u2019s travel history to establish what, when, and what type of packages they have previously booked. Our system uses this to calculate the optimum time to reach out to the customer again. We provide this information on a daily basis to our specialists on the front desk. They can then get in touch with customers when they are most likely to book. AI learns from the analyses and resulting bookings and continues to improve.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nAs far as Alexander Breitkreutz and Benjamin Kraut are concerned, it is this mix that makes the system so successful. \u201cCustomers receive AI-augmented advice, which can switch to an in-person consultation and back again, depending on the situation. The employees involved monitor the process and can intervene at any time. It should also be remembered that many customers also like to call from time to time, which is why the travel experts\u2019 phone numbers and e-mail addresses are included with the offer. Customers need access to all the options and they should be able to decide how to contact us.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nAnd according to Benjamin Kraut, this may be more important now than ever before: \u201cThe clamour for advice and security has increased enormously as a result of the coronavirus. It feels as if we are experiencing something of a travel agency renaissance, regardless of what is now possible with digitisation.

To support the sustainability and digitisation strategies of Germany\u2019s second-largest food retailer, this will soon come to an end. As of 1 July 2023, flyers will no longer be printed or distributed; however, new and familiar media channels will be used to significantly expand promotional activity. This will have a huge impact on the environment, climate, and the sustainable use of resources, saving more than 73,000\u00a0tonnes of paper, 70,000\u00a0tonnes of CO2, 1.1\u00a0million\u00a0tonnes of water, and 380\u00a0million\u00a0kWh of energy per year.

In this regard, REWE was also the first German food retailer to convert all of its stores to green energy in 2008 and to ban plastic bags from its stores in 2016. Once again, with its decision to stop printing and distributing flyers, REWE is taking the lead in the industry. Not only will this move significantly reduce our carbon footprint, but it also marks another milestone in our climate targets. At the same time, it demonstrates our solidarity in these times of crisis by helping to alleviate our country\u2019s future energy security challenges,\u201d says Lionel Souque, CEO of the REWE Group.\\r\\n\\r\\nNABU, Germany\u2019s largest independent nature protection organisation, has been advising and supporting REWE\u2019s sustainability work since 2009. Their common goal is to reduce resource consumption and prevent waste. NABU was involved in 2016 when the decision was made to ban plastic bags. \u201cThe paper manufacturing process has a significant environmental impact. Industrial forestry and large-scale logging destroy natural ecosystems and carbon sinks. They also require the use of environmentally damaging chemicals and large amounts of water and gas. It is therefore absolutely clear that something has to change if we want to safeguard resources that are essential for human existence,\u201d says Leif Miller, NABU CEO. \u201cNABU is pleased that REWE takes its responsibilities seriously and is moving away from printed flyers.

Now anyone can receive their preferred REWE store\u2019s offers flyer conveniently on their mobile, every Sunday via WhatsApp. The service enjoys great popularity and high usage rates across all targets groups in Germany, making it a useful tool for customer communications and sending offer information. Before the nationwide launch, REWE\u2019s trials had shown that a digital flyer on WhatsApp generated significant customer interest. The sign-up rates for the service itself, the opening rates, and the length of time spent reading it proved this was the case.\\r\\n\\r\\n\u201cREWE has been committed to sustainability in its corporate strategy for years and has gradually been transforming processes and products successfully with this goal in mind. Digitisation is the primary way of achieving this aim, particularly where this offers added value to the customer. With Meta and WhatsApp, we have another effective channel for providing local offers and relevant information to our customers in an easily accessible way,\u201d says Bastian Tassew, Head of CRM \\u0026amp; Owned Media at REWE.\\r\\n\\r\\nSubscribing to the digital flyer is straightforward: Simply visit\u00a0\\u003ca href=\\u0022https:\/\/rewe.de\/whatsapp\\u0022\\u003erewe.de\/whatsapp\\u003c\/a\\u003e\u00a0and follow the instructions. This ensures that the customer first has to sign up to the WhatsApp service before using a postcode or location to find their preferred store and subscribe to offers. To end the weekly subscription service, customers simply need to reply with the message \u2018Stop\u2019.\u00a0The service is provided via Meta\u2019s official business partner, 360dialog.\\r\\n\\r\\nClaudia Studtmann, Meta Head of Retail for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, says: \u201cWe are delighted that our partner REWE is the first food retailer in Germany to use WhatsApp Business Solutions to digitise its printed flyer and reach new and existing customers via their preferred communication channels.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nREWE had recently announced that it would discontinue the printing and distribution of its offers flyers on 1 July 2023. However, it also expressed its intention to use new and familiar media channels to significantly expand its product promotion activity. The changeover will have a huge impact on the environment, climate, and the sustainable use of resources, saving more than 73,000\u00a0tonnes of paper, 70,000\u00a0tonnes of CO2, 1.1\u00a0million\u00a0tonnes of water, and 380\u00a0million\u00a0kWh of energy per year.

REWE feels it has a responsibility to address these issues and, going forward, it wants to be part of the solution even more than before. To this end, REWE has pledged a minimum of 25 million euros over the next five years to support the climate fund of Germany's Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU), This is a joint investment by two long-time partners in measurably reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\\r\\n\\r\\nTwenty-five percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by food industry supply chains. REWE is aware of this and will therefore be investing heavily in its supply chains to reduce emissions and to offset those emissions that cannot be reduced . REWE is also voluntarily supporting climate protection projects such as NABU\u2019s climate fund, which can then invest considerable sums in natural climate protection.\\r\\n\\r\\nNABU\u2019s CEO Leif Miller says, \u201cAfter over a decade of partnering to promote sustainability, REWE and NABU are once again teaming up to protect our natural environment and the earth\u2019s climate. The NABU climate fund shows what can be accomplished when businesses and conservationists work together to fight climate change. Thanks to the commitment of the fund\u2019s co-initiator REWE, we\u2019ll be able to invest at least 25 million euros in natural measures to protect the climate and biodiversity over the next five years.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nMoney paid into the fund will go towards implementing conservation projects that have a positive impact on biodiversity and climate. Specifically, the NABU climate fund will finance moorland restoration in Germany. NABU and REWE see great potential for effective climate protection through the restoration of moorlands, in keeping with the German federal government\u2019s \u201cnatural climate protection\u201d action plan. The rewetting of moorlands in Germany helps to measurably reduce greenhouse gas emissions, largely from moorlands that have been degraded by agricultural use and\/or peat extraction.\\r\\n\\r\\nMoorlands are still being drained to this day and 95 percent of Germany\u2019s are currently dry. Enormous quantities or carbon, which has been \u201clocked\u201d inside the peat of the moors for millennia, can then quickly bind with oxygen and be released into the atmosphere as CO2. When the moorlands are rewetted, they regain their original function as carbon sinks, thus halting the release of greenhouse gases. Although moorlands account for only three percent of the world\u2019s land area, wet moors store one-quarter of terrestrial carbon \u2013 twice as much as all the world\u2019s forests combined. In other words, moors are the most effective carbon sinks in the world.\\r\\n\\r\\nYet, the revitalization of moorlands not only stops greenhouse gas emissions; it also provides a unique habitat for many now rare plant and animal species. Intact moorlands thus also make a significant contribution to maintaining biodiversity.\\r\\n\\r\\nREWE customers can do their part to join NABU and REWE in helping to prevent climate change: Every purchase of \u201cREWE Bio\u201d organic products will help the NABU climate fund to grow. And so, every purchase will contribute to preventing climate change. The NABU climate fund logo will be visible on product labels.\\r\\n\\r\\n\u201cAs a large company in the food industry, we are aware of the responsibility we bear for preventing climate change and we will be part of the solution. It is very important to us that in addition to the massive effort to reduce emissions, we also voluntarily support climate protection projects. To that end, we have teamed up with our long-time partner, NABU, to launch the climate fund \u2013 to help protect the climate through conservation. Linking the NABU climate fund to our products enables customers to truly be part of preventing climate change,\u201d adds Clemens Bauer.\",\"_textblock_content\":\"field_5f85c3517327d\",\"link\":\"\",\"_link\":\"field_5fb6afba326c9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-text-block {\"id\":\"block_6319f248236f7\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-text-block\",\"data\":{\"headline\":\"Background: Moorlands in Germany\",\"_headline\":\"field_5fb7d7d0cbc12\",\"textblock_headline_size\":\"small\",\"_textblock_headline_size\":\"field_5f6b7vkf406b6\",\"textblock_content\":\"Around 300 years ago, large swathes of Germany were covered in moorland \u2013 some 1.5 million hectares or roughly equivalent to the entire area of the state of Schleswig-Holstein.\\r\\n\\r\\nUpland moors, fed by rainfall, are the most common type found in the northwest of the country. In the east and northeast, lowland moors formed in and around lakes, depressions, or springs predominate. Moors once covered 4.2 percent of what is now Germany, providing unique and diverse habitat to countless plant and animal species.\\r\\n\\r\\nToday, however, the picture is quite different: 95 percent of the natural moorlands have been destroyed. Over the centuries, humans have drained the moors for peat extraction, forestry or agricultural uses, or to build on them.\\r\\n\\r\\nYet, the fact remains that the disappearance of the moors is having a massive impact on the climate. That\u2019s because moors are more than 90 percent water. When the use or development of the land removes this water, air flows into the moor, causing the peat to decompose. The moor collapses, sometimes dropping several metres. Once diverse habitats are then lost.

Separate storage areas and counter partitions are used to prevent any contamination of vegan goods with products of animal origin.

But if we want to continue to afford high and rising investment volumes and not radically prioritise them, then our absolute earnings must further increase in the medium and long term. The food retail market is under pressure. There are gaps between producer and consumer price inflation that we as retailers are absorbing \u2013 and have to absorb! As Lionel Souque has said on many occasions: In difficult times, everyone has to shoulder part of the burden. Many people have already run out of financial wiggle room, and it's therefore foolish to believe that we can pass cost increases on to the customer in their entirety.\\r\\n\\r\\nI am also concerned about the rapidly increasing costs in other areas. For instance, the construction sector is currently experiencing price hikes that would have been unthinkable just a few months ago. There is a shortage of technical components, such as charging stations. Previously, the delivery time for a power supply transformer was a fortnight; now, it is a year. In this context, it is vital to carefully consider which expenditure is really necessary \u2013 where proactive savings and increases in efficiency can be achieved.\",\"_qa_answer\":\"field_5f85b16133649\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-q-and-a {\"id\":\"block_633592e16dc2a\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-q-and-a\",\"data\":{\"qa_question\":\"\\u003cstrong\\u003eDoes this mean that investment plans are also under review?\\u003c\/strong\\u003e\",\"_qa_question\":\"field_5f85b11d33648\",\"qa_answer\":\"\\u003cstrong\\u003eTelerik Schischmanow:\\u003c\/strong\\u003e\u00a0Right now, it's important not to panic and stop all future investments, whether in digitalisation, sustainability or climate protection.

Investing in real estate is another priority, particularly in Germany, where we have built state-of-the-art warehouses and have begun purchasing rather than leasing our stores. This has been a shrewd decision: as owners, we have the power to decide what we do with a property and can undertake extensions or alterations, such as photovoltaic systems and EV charging stations, more rapidly. We can also secure good locations for the long term and, last but by no means least, it's generally a more prudent business proposition for us to buy than to lease.

We need to continue making substantial investments in order to expand our core business and open up new areas of growth. We must also continue to consolidate and expand our leading position in the field of sustainability. For example, we will need to invest further in technology, such as refrigeration technology, heating systems, insulations, and new building materials, in order to achieve our climate target. Nor can sustainability be neglected when it comes to the finance sector. In the years to come, green finance will become significantly more important. Companies without an active sustainability strategy will find it difficult to obtain attractive loan conditions in the future.\\r\\n\\r\\nWe must further enhance our profitability, however, to ensure that we do not have to prioritise too much across all of these important projects in the future. This is a challenge because personnel and material costs are rising markedly.

That is not always a bad thing. A rapidly growing corporate group can allow itself to borrow. What matters is maintaining a healthy debt-to-profitability ratio at all times. Profitability needs to be high enough to ensure that the company isn't forced to take on additional major loans each year to fund its investments and that it can instead perhaps even begin to reduce its debts. Thanks not least to our recently improved S\\u0026amp;P rating, as well as our sustainable direction, we do have scope for further credit financing. If necessary, we will increase our borrowing \u2013 but this must be done with caution and on the basis of a long-term strategy. We have to think very carefully about how we spend the money. In view of the sharp rise in interest rates, it will cost us significantly more than it once did.

The question we need to ask is: how can we do what we do more simply and straightforwardly, more quickly and with greater automation and standardisation? With as much standardisation as possible, and only as much individualisation as absolutely necessary. Let's consider shopping trolleys. Many of our competitors have no more than a handful of different models that they buy for use throughout Europe or even worldwide. Somehow, we\u2019ve ended up with over a hundred different versions across the group. Isn\u2019t there another way?

Our employees will play a key role in this regard, and we are actively investing in them. We are helping them to develop their expertise \u2013 expertise that we need. And by taking this step, we will additionally be able to offer them new development opportunities. It also underscores our leading technological position in the food retail sector over the long term,\u201d adds Thomas Friedl, member of the Executive Board of REWE digital.\\r\\n\\r\\nFor the employees of the new REWE digital unit, the close collaboration has been a reality for the past few months. Whether it\u2019s in Cologne, Berlin, Ilmenau, Kiel, Sofia, Varna, Graz, M\u00e1laga, or the regional locations in Germany, a diverse and large number of collaboration workstreams are now active. In addition, a number of technology teams have already strengthened and optimized their collaboration where doing so is feasible and makes sense.\\r\\n\\r\\nAs part of the restructuring, REWE digital will receive a new corporate identity that represents the two previous units and the people associated with them. The new look will involve not only new branding, but also shared processes and procedures, cultural values, and goals, which we will continue to develop in the coming months.\",\"_textblock_content\":\"field_5f85c3517327d\",\"link\":\"\",\"_link\":\"field_5fb6afba326c9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-article-explainer {\"id\":\"block_6343c1a6557d6\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-article-explainer\",\"data\":{\"article_explainer_post\":181,\"_article_explainer_post\":\"field_5f6debdfe29bb\",\"article_explainer_opened\":\"1\",\"_article_explainer_opened\":\"field_5f7bk4dwbd6c5\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-contact-person {\"id\":\"block_6343c1b6557d7\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-contact-person\",\"data\":{\"contact_person\":2689,\"_contact_person\":\"field_vf44r23ak4ie9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section {\"bgColor\":\"gray\",\"paddingBottom\":0} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-gray section-padding-top\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-full-single -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-post-slider {\"id\":\"block_6343c224557d9\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-post-slider\",\"data\":{\"post_slider_layout\":\"slider\",\"_post_slider_layout\":\"field_5f725c7k3e21q\",\"post_slider_headline\":\"Read more\",\"_post_slider_headline\":\"field_5f89611b6b259\",\"post_slider_copy\":\"\",\"_post_slider_copy\":\"field_5fcfc7db7a166\",\"post_slider_categories\":[\"8\"],\"_post_slider_categories\":\"field_5f8962476b25b\",\"post_slider_tags\":[\"39\"],\"_post_slider_tags\":\"field_5fdk3id76b25b\",\"post_slider_post_types\":\"\",\"_post_slider_post_types\":\"field_5f8962d66b25c\",\"post_slider_posts\":\"\",\"_post_slider_posts\":\"field_5fb5f510f57d1\",\"post_slider_links\":\"\",\"_post_slider_links\":\"field_5f8963956b25e\",\"post_slider_number\":\"8\",\"_post_slider_number\":\"field_5f896fbad9394\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-full-single --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section {\"paddingBottom\":0} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-white section-padding-top\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-full-single -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-twitter-icon-teaser {\"id\":\"block_6343c241557da\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-twitter-icon-teaser\",\"data\":{\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"preview\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-full-single --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/template-root -->","post_title":"REWE digital and REWE Systems to merge","post_excerpt":"The new IT unit will strengthen the REWE Group\u2019s leading technological position in the food retail sector","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rewe-digital-and-rewe-systems-to-merge","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-19 13:40:52","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-19 11:40:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rewegroupcom.psl.dev\/de\/?post_type=press_release&#038;p=26477","menu_order":0,"post_type":"press_release","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"date":"10.10.2022","headline":"REWE digital and REWE Systems to merge","excerpt":"Operating as a single entity allows REWE digital and REWE Systems to be most effective for the REWE Group.

So there\u2019s good news for REWE customers and more. REWE has expanded its partnership with Aral to install Aral pulse fast-charging stations at 180 REWE stores across Germany. So Customers will be able to charge while they shop.\\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to the cooperation with Aral pulse, the largest provider of publicly accessible ultra-fast charging stations in Germany, at least 720 charge points with a charging capacity of up to 54,000\u00a0kW will be installed by the end of 2024. This makes Aral one of REWE\u2019s most important e-mobility partners in Germany.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe cooperation between REWE and Aral began in February 2016 and today includes REWE To Go stores at 768 Aral petrol stations. The Aral partnership is bringing rapid, reliable charging to many of REWE\u2019s conveniently located supermarkets. The first charging station is scheduled to go into operation in the fourth quarter of 2023.\\r\\n\\r\\nAccording to Alexander Junge, Board Member for E-Mobility at Aral: \u201cPartnerships like this are exactly what we need for a fast rollout of our EV charging stations. Our goal is to provide our customers with rapid, reliable charging wherever they need it. The 150\u00a0kW charging stations from Aral pulse expand the offering of REWE stores and give customers the added convenience of being able to charge while they shop.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nTelerik Shishmanov, Member of the REWE Group\u2019s Management Board, added: \u201cWith Aral pulse\u2019s fast-charging stations, we are expanding our e-infrastructure. This additional service will help make the daily lives of our customers and employees easier. One of our climate goals is to install a total of 4,000\u00a0charge points at existing leased properties and new buildings by 2024. Our partnership with Aral goes a long way toward helping us achieve this.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nUnder the cooperation, between two and six fast-charging stations, to be entirely powered by renewable energy, will be set up at each of the selected REWE car parks. Each station will have two charge points and a charging capacity of 150\u00a0kW, allowing customers to charge a range of up to 150\u00a0km within ten minutes provided they have the required battery technology.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn addition, Aral pulse offers Plug \\u0026amp; Charge technology, which allows customers to charge at public charging stations without a charging card or app. The driver simply connects the electric car to the charging point and leaves the charging station and the car to take care of everything else. Thanks to the underlying ISO 15118 standard, the vehicle authenticates itself automatically, transmitting the customer account data stored in the vehicle. Billing is then automatic and does not require the driver to connect to WiFi. E-car drivers can thus get back on the road much faster.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe planned partnership will initially include 180 REWE leased properties. Aral and REWE are also looking into rolling out the service to up to 600 locations in Germany not owned by the company.\\r\\nThrough this expansion of e-charging facilities in store car parks, REWE is responding proactively to the Building Electromobility Infrastructure Act (GEIG). This act stipulates that, starting in 2025, all non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces must have at least one charging point.\",\"_textblock_content\":\"field_5f85c3517327d\",\"link\":\"\",\"_link\":\"field_5fb6afba326c9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-article-explainer {\"id\":\"block_63453446aa12d\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-article-explainer\",\"data\":{\"article_explainer_post\":183,\"_article_explainer_post\":\"field_5f6debdfe29bb\",\"article_explainer_opened\":\"1\",\"_article_explainer_opened\":\"field_5f7bk4dwbd6c5\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-article-explainer {\"id\":\"block_6345354faa130\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-article-explainer\",\"data\":{\"article_explainer_post\":19652,\"_article_explainer_post\":\"field_5f6debdfe29bb\",\"article_explainer_opened\":\"1\",\"_article_explainer_opened\":\"field_5f7bk4dwbd6c5\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-contact-person {\"id\":\"block_6345343baa12c\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-contact-person\",\"data\":{\"contact_person\":2682,\"_contact_person\":\"field_vf44r23ak4ie9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section {\"bgColor\":\"gray\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-gray section-padding-top section-padding-bottom\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-full-single -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-post-slider {\"id\":\"block_6345347faa12e\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-post-slider\",\"data\":{\"post_slider_layout\":\"slider\",\"_post_slider_layout\":\"field_5f725c7k3e21q\",\"post_slider_headline\":\"Read more\",\"_post_slider_headline\":\"field_5f89611b6b259\",\"post_slider_copy\":\"\",\"_post_slider_copy\":\"field_5fcfc7db7a166\",\"post_slider_categories\":[\"8\"],\"_post_slider_categories\":\"field_5f8962476b25b\",\"post_slider_tags\":\"\",\"_post_slider_tags\":\"field_5fdk3id76b25b\",\"post_slider_post_types\":\"\",\"_post_slider_post_types\":\"field_5f8962d66b25c\",\"post_slider_posts\":\"\",\"_post_slider_posts\":\"field_5fb5f510f57d1\",\"post_slider_links\":\"\",\"_post_slider_links\":\"field_5f8963956b25e\",\"post_slider_number\":\"8\",\"_post_slider_number\":\"field_5f896fbad9394\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-full-single --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-white section-padding-top section-padding-bottom\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-full-single -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-twitter-icon-teaser {\"id\":\"block_634534a8aa12f\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-twitter-icon-teaser\",\"data\":{\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"preview\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-full-single --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/template-root -->","post_title":"Aral pulse and REWE introduce fast charging at 180 REWE stores in Germany","post_excerpt":"Aral and REWE expand their partnership","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"aral-pulse-and-rewe-introduce-fast-charging-at-180-rewe-stores-in-germany","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-10 16:02:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-10 14:02:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rewegroupcom.psl.dev\/de\/?post_type=press_release&#038;p=26525","menu_order":0,"post_type":"press_release","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"date":"11.10.2022","headline":"Aral pulse and REWE introduce fast charging at 180 REWE stores in Germany","excerpt":"REWE has expanded its partnership with Aral to install Aral pulse fast-charging stations at 180 REWE stores across Germany, allowing customers to charge while they shop.

You look forward to it, but you don\u2019t know what to expect. You guide it, watch it grow, and do everything you can to make it successful. That\u2019s exactly how it was with the REWE delivery service. At the beginning, it was very hands-on. We tried out a lot of things and quickly learned from our mistakes. Over time, just as it is when you are a parent, you continue to learn. It is now time for the next step. Our child has grown up. We can loosen the apron strings and let it stand on its own two feet more.\\r\\n\\r\\nI can give you two examples. Initially, we delivered from stores and received a great deal of support within the various REWE regions. This was a good start but, at the end of the day, it was not very practical because in some stores, the share of goods being sold online soon exceeded the 50 per cent mark. That was what prompted us, in 2014, to open our first Food Fulfilment Center, or FFC for short, in H\u00fcrth with the active support of Region West. Before opening time, I would put bread on the shelf at four in the morning. At six, the warehouse manager came and took over. That\u2019s how it was back then.

Six years ago, customers we surveyed said weekly shopping that was delivered within two days was fine. When we introduced same-day delivery in 2017, this was well received by customers. This illustrates the change in customer behaviour and we are adapting to that. Technically, we can now deliver a shopping order in three hours.\\r\\n\\r\\nHowever, it is important to make a distinction here between the delivery service and quick commerce, where deliveries are expected within ten minutes. The REWE delivery and collection services are both geared towards big weekly purchases. Quick commerce, as offered by many delivery services in large cities by bicycle courier, is more geared towards small purchases and thus serves a completely different target audience.\",\"_qa_answer\":\"field_5f85b16133649\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-q-and-a {\"id\":\"block_6347dd93c1e08\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-q-and-a\",\"data\":{\"qa_question\":\"\\u003cstrong\\u003eHow sustainable is the delivery service today?

We plan to roll this out further.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe use of electric vehicles is somewhat more complicated, as the goods have to be refrigerated, which requires a lot of energy. The refrigeration limits the range of the vehicles, meaning that they cannot deliver to as many customers in one trip. However, we are trialling different options for this and are now ready to buy some electric vehicles. We have already largely changed the refrigeration concept from dry ice to ice packs.\\r\\n\\r\\nFrom a sustainability perspective, route planning is key. Orders from the same area are combined in the same delivery run. In larger cities, for example, many customer orders can be shipped over very short distances. We are also committed to reducing food waste. Like the REWE stores, we cooperate with the food banks to avoid food waste. At the moment, we are working intensively on our packaging.

The REWE Group has entered into a strategic partnership with EnBW and Shell, with the aim of building one of the largest and most up-to-date fast charging station networks in Germany. This will see the installation of up to 2,000 fast charging points at no fewer than 400 selected group-owned premises (REWE and PENNY) and other rented premises by the end of 2024. During the same period, the REWE Group plans to equip existing rented premises and new stores with up to 4,000 additional charging points. At present, 130 stores in Germany have a charging infrastructure in place. When combined with existing charging points, the network will include well over 6,000 charging points by the end of 2024.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe REWE Group\u2019s network will expand significantly as a result of the partnerships. Germany currently has approximately 26,000 EV\u00a0charging stations, ten percent of which are provided by retailers. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, there were around 1.1 million electric vehicles (electric or plug-in hybrid) in Germany at the end of October 2021. The provision of charging stations is therefore becoming increasingly important in strategic terms. Depending on the infrastructure and electric vehicle in question, a five-minute charge can provide enough power to cover a distance of around 60 miles or 100 kilometres.\\r\\n\\r\\nREWE Group Divisional Director, Telerik Schischmanow, said: \u201cThe REWE Group has recently announced its intention to become a climate-neutral corporation by 2040. This is a highly ambitious goal, particularly as we will be reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent of 2019 levels as early as 2030. For us as a business, e-mobility has a crucial role to play here, in terms of company vehicles for instance. With this major expansion of the fast e-charging station infrastructure, we now want to focus on making e-mobility more straightforward for our customers. Only when we as a society do everything in our power across all areas of life will we stop climate change.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn Shell and EnBW, we have two strong partners that enable us to offer our customers the convenience of charging their electric vehicles using state-of-the-art, fast-charging stations while they shop. I am convinced that this is exactly the approach needed to further accelerate the wider use of electric vehicles. 70 percent of respondents in a 2020 survey saw the lack of charging stations as a significant factor discouraging them from purchasing an electric car.\u201d Schischmanow also believes that this will change in the foreseeable future, thanks to strategic partnerships such as these.\\r\\n\\r\\nLinda van Schaik, Head of Shell\u2019s filling station business in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, said: \u201cElectric vehicle owners will have different requirements. Some will have a charging point in their garage, others will charge their vehicle at their workplace, a lamp-post charger, a car park or an ultra-fast charging point at one of our filling stations. We want to be the partner of choice and to make it easier for customers to switch to a battery electric vehicle because they can charge it whenever and wherever they want.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\n\u201cIn recent years, EnBW has developed Germany\u2019s largest fast charging network. This expertise makes us a strong and reliable partner for REWE. Together, we are driving electromobility forward in this country,\u201d adds Timo Sillober, EnBW\u2019s Chief Sales &amp; Operations Officer with responsibility for electromobility. \u201cWe want to easily integrate electromobility into our customers\u2019 daily lives . Nowhere is this better demonstrated than at the supermarket: I drive to the supermarket car park and connect my car to the fast charger. When I finish my shopping and return to my vehicle 20 to 30 minutes later, it now has sufficient charge to last the next week or two.

In the next few days, the distribution centres will receive long-life food worth 2.64\u00a0million euros to give out to those affected by poverty, including refugees, the unemployed, senior citizens, single parents and young people on tight household budgets. From 10 to 22\u00a0 October, more than 3,700 REWE and 450 nahkauf stores nationwide, as well as the REWE online shop, asked customers to donate to the purchase of food bank donation bags for their local food bank. The motto of the grassroots campaign was \u201cGemeinsam Teller f\u00fcllen\u201d (Putting Food on People\u2019s Plates Together).\\r\\n\\r\\nREWE COO Peter Maly: \u201cThe growing numbers of people unable to afford a healthy, balanced diet in this country is a tragedy. Food banks play a vital role in society in supporting people affected by poverty. They should not be left to go it alone. For me, the high level of donations achieved demonstrates once again that solidarity is alive and well in Germany and that our customers\u2019 support of food bank users continues unabated.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nJochen Br\u00fchl, Chairman of Tafel Deutschland e.V.: \u201cMore and more people are currently asking for the support of the food banks because they can no longer afford basic food staples. Many areas are seeing a decline in food donations and volunteers are stretched to their limits. The food donated as part of REWE\u2019s food bank bag donation campaign goes directly to helping people affected by poverty. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the customers of REWE and nahkauf as well as to the company itself for their solidarity during this difficult time.\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nThe 2.35-kg donation bags were each filled with six foods agreed with Tafel Deutschland: rice, noodles, cream of tomato soup, pretzel sticks, granola bars and cookies. Customers were charged 5 euros per bag, which would then be placed in the in-store donation box intended for the local food bank. Volunteers are currently collecting the donations and will distribute them to food bank users at the distribution centres in the coming weeks. REWE itself donated a further 200,000 euros to the food banks, which follows on from the 500,000 euros of emergency aid for Ukraine refugees in April 2022.\\r\\n\\r\\nREWE has cooperated closely with the food banks since 1996. For example, local distribution centres receive surplus food from the stores and warehouses on a daily basis. This is largely fresh produce that will soon be out of date, but can still be consumed safely. On top of this, the company gives financial donations as well as organising and implementing campaigns with the participation of customers.\",\"_textblock_content\":\"field_5f85c3517327d\",\"link\":{\"title\":\"More Information here\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/www.rewe.de\/tafel\",\"target\":\"_blank\"},\"_link\":\"field_5fb6afba326c9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-article-explainer {\"id\":\"block_6358d6ac448ad\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-article-explainer\",\"data\":{\"article_explainer_post\":183,\"_article_explainer_post\":\"field_5f6debdfe29bb\",\"article_explainer_opened\":\"1\",\"_article_explainer_opened\":\"field_5f7bk4dwbd6c5\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/my-contact-person {\"id\":\"block_6358d6b6448ae\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-contact-person\",\"data\":{\"contact_person\":2682,\"_contact_person\":\"field_vf44r23ak4ie9\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside-cell-main --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-margin-aside --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section {\"bgColor\":\"gray\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-gray section-padding-top section-padding-bottom\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-full-single -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-post-slider {\"id\":\"block_6358d6d1448af\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-post-slider\",\"data\":{\"post_slider_layout\":\"slider\",\"_post_slider_layout\":\"field_5f725c7k3e21q\",\"post_slider_headline\":\"Read more\",\"_post_slider_headline\":\"field_5f89611b6b259\",\"post_slider_copy\":\"\",\"_post_slider_copy\":\"field_5fcfc7db7a166\",\"post_slider_categories\":[\"5\"],\"_post_slider_categories\":\"field_5f8962476b25b\",\"post_slider_tags\":\"\",\"_post_slider_tags\":\"field_5fdk3id76b25b\",\"post_slider_post_types\":\"\",\"_post_slider_post_types\":\"field_5f8962d66b25c\",\"post_slider_posts\":\"\",\"_post_slider_posts\":\"field_5fb5f510f57d1\",\"post_slider_links\":\"\",\"_post_slider_links\":\"field_5f8963956b25e\",\"post_slider_number\":\"8\",\"_post_slider_number\":\"field_5f896fbad9394\",\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-full-single --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section -->\n\n<!-- wp:myblocks\/section {\"paddingBottom\":0} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-section block-section section-bg-white section-padding-top\"><!-- wp:myblocks\/row-full-single -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-full-single row-full-single my-row-block row-full\"><!-- wp:acf\/my-twitter-icon-teaser {\"id\":\"block_6358d6f1448b0\",\"name\":\"acf\/my-twitter-icon-teaser\",\"data\":{\"onpage_anchor_name\":\"\",\"_onpage_anchor_name\":\"field_5f85d1blpa1\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"preview\"} \/--><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/row-full-single --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/section --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:myblocks\/template-root -->","post_title":"REWE and nahkauf donate 2.64\u00a0million euros\u2019 worth of food to Tafel food banks","post_excerpt":"Customer campaign results in 487,000 food bank donation bags \u2013 a sign of solidarity and humanity","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rewe-und-nahkauf-helfen-tafeln-mit-lebensmittel-fuer-264-millionen-euro","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-12 09:59:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-12 07:59:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rewegroupcom.psl.dev\/de\/?post_type=press_release&#038;p=26909","menu_order":0,"post_type":"press_release","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"date":"26.10.2022","headline":"REWE and nahkauf donate 2.64 million euros\u2019 worth of food to Tafel food banks","excerpt":"The \u201cGemeinsam Teller f\u00fcllen.
