Scope, with one change to previous year’s reports: All consolidated companies of the REWE Group that were part of the group in 2024, excluding units that left the group before the financial year. Self-employed retailers are no longer included in the figures and have therefore been adjusted retroactively for 2021 to 2023, as they do not fall under Scope 1 and 2 according to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and SBTi. This adjustment of the accounting methodology, including the associated update of the emission factors and an improvement in the data basis, explains the increase in the value compared to the previous year.

The quota of jobs for disabled people (disabled and severely disabled people) is calculated per capita and therefore has a different basis for calculation than the mandatory employment quota for severely disabled people in accordance with Section 154 SGB IX (Germany). This calculation was chosen in order to be able to determine a standardised key figure across countries (Germany and Austria). People with disabilities are defined in accordance with Section 2 of the German Social Code (SGB) (Germany) and the Disability Employment Act (BEinstG) (Austria). |
