REWE Group has initiated a series of strategic expansions focusing on sustainability and digital service capabilities. The company established long-term environmental targets, including a goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 and specific improvements to packaging and meat welfare standards by 2030. In tandem with these goals, REWE launched a rapid grocery delivery pilot in Cologne through a partnership with Wolt. This service utilizes existing retail locations as fulfillment points to provide delivery within one hour. Following a testing phase, the company has upgraded this delivery service with new passive cooling technology developed with Va-Q-Tec. This system uses vacuum insulation panels and cooling accumulators to maintain temperature-sensitive goods without electricity, allowing for multiple temperature zones in a single delivery. Following successful practical tests at the Cologne fulfillment center, REWE Lieferservice has transitioned to the regular use of these specialized boxes for the delivery of chilled and frozen food products. Customers can order groceries via the company website or app, select delivery windows, and utilize cashless payment options such as PayPal, credit cards, or invoices. REWE intends to expand this technology to more locations across Germany by 2027.
