Public Policy

Retail is omnipresent: with both bricks-and-mortar and online stores, the industry ensures that consumers are reliably supplied with products and services. In a complex and quickly shifting environment, CECONOMY bears a major responsibility: we have an obligation of transparency vis-à-vis society.

On the basis of unified messages, we represent our positions to all stakeholders clearly and consistently at all times. CECONOMY is included in the EU’s transparency register. Thus we are committed to compliance with its associated Code of Conduct, which requires registered companies to declare their purposes and the interests and goals they pursue.

Our political objective

Transparency means dialogue. As a contact partner for policymakers, authorities and social organisations, we are engaged in close dialogue with various interest groups and actively contribute to the political debate in all countries in which we have business operations. In doing so, we pursue four objectives:

Building a reputation among the political stakeholders and in the societal environment

Coordinating the work of the organisation and participating at the German and EU levels

Monitoring and managing legislation, political developments and issues

Closely cooperating with and supporting the CECONOMY companies in all countries

At the same time, through our engagement in the political sphere, we give CECONOMY as well as its subsidiaries and participating interests a voice – thereby supporting our operational business through robust networks.
