Climate protection
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. As food retailers, we therefore have a special responsibility. That's why we are committed to climate protection and are implementing targeted measures to reduce our ecological footprint.

REWE and the NABU Climate Fund: together for a better climate

More sustainable agriculture
The way food is produced has a direct impact on our environment. Through environmentally friendly cultivation, the promotion of organic farming, and the protection of biodiversity, we make an important contribution to more sustainable agriculture. At the same time, we support farmers in Germany as a reliable partner.

Regionality
For us, regional cooperation is more than a trend—it's a lived responsibility. Through close partnerships with regional producers and suppliers, we offer high-quality, locally sourced products, promote sustainable agriculture, and actively support animal welfare.

Better packaging
Packaging optimization is a top priority at REWE. Whether it's packaging-free shopping, reusable alternatives, or more environmentally friendly packaging – our goal is to conserve resources, reduce waste, and promote sustainable consumption.

Sustainable purchasing
Sustainability begins with shopping: with a diverse range of regional, vegan, organic, and Fairtrade products, as well as reusable alternatives, we set standards for environmentally conscious shopping. Furthermore, eliminating paper flyers reduces the consumption of valuable resources and sustainably lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
