Rossmann returns home with new accolades from the Retailer of the Year and Symbol of Sustainability competitions

The Retailer of the Year competition, organized by Trade Magazine, was held for the 11th time this year. The aim of the competition is to award the most outstanding representatives of stores and chains with different commercial profiles. The professional jury also evaluated the design of the stores, the customer experience, the work of the staff, the level of service and innovations. The Rossmann store located in the Árkád Budapest shopping center not only marked the chain’s anniversary, the opening of its 250th store, but also deservedly earned the recognition of the professional jury with its sustainable operation and modern solutions, serving an average of 1,600 customers per day.

The Sustainability Symbol competition, announced by Trade Magazine for the sixth time this year, highlights initiatives supporting carbon footprint reduction and the circular economy. Rossmann has taken a revolutionary step in the aerosol cosmetics market with the introduction of the Respray x Rossmann refill machine: customers can refill their deodorants with the help of the sustainable system, thus significantly reducing waste and environmental impact.

“It is a special pleasure for us to receive two prestigious awards at the same time at this year’s Business Days conference. The award for our Árkád store shows that our commitment to customer experience and innovation has borne fruit, while the Sustainability Symbol award confirms our belief that green solutions not only shape the future, but also make our customers’ everyday lives more comfortable,” said Kornél Németh, Managing Director of Rossmann Hungary.

32 applications were awarded in this year’s Retailer of the Year competition, and 20 applications won the Sustainability Symbol award, including several absolute winners and audience winners. Rossmann’s successes prove once again that the company represents both professional excellence and responsibility for a sustainable future.
