Diversity month, part 3: Inclusion at toom
To create more participation for people with intellectual or learning disabilities, toom uses plain language - in do-it-yourself brochures, explanatory films and on the company website. Dominique Rotondi, Managing Director Purchasing Logistics, on toom's commitment to inclusion.
Inclusion at toom
Mario Boy is hearing-impaired and has been working as a system merchandiser in the toom building block laboratory not far from the company headquarters in Cologne-Porz since 2019. He also wanted to get a taste of the market for a few days - as is customary for all toom centralisers. How did that work out? We spoke to him.
REWE Group jubilarians
If that's not a positive record: all those celebrating anniversaries at REWE Group's Central locations totalled 5,230 years of service - more than ever before. The reason for this record is a welcome innovation: for the first time, colleagues from toom were also honoured at the end of November in Cologne's Wolkenburg.
Chip magazine has recognised toom as the industry leader in the "digital service offering" in the DIY store and retail sector.
BUND pesticide test:
After 2021 and 2022, BUND has once again analysed bee-friendly plants in stores for pesticide residues. Of the seven garden centres and DIY stores examined, toom was the only one that did not detect any bee-harmful pesticides on plants advertised as bee-friendly. We spoke to Ribanna Jansen, Project Manager Sustainability at toom, about the "beneficial bee-friendly" range, the different needs of beneficial insects and quality control at toom.
