Praktiker received an AEO certificate

“I am confident that our initiative will work well in practice by rounding off our sales channels portfolio, ensuring greater proximity to customers, attracting new customer groups and enabling numerous synergy effects in terms of our other sales channels. Apart from that, our recently acquired AEO certification is primarily directed at our suppliers” . CEO of Praktiker Karl-Heinz Keth pointed out.

That is a form of certification awarded by the European Union. All fields of the company related to finances, logistics and safety were inspected. The certification process took over a year and a half. We are particularly proud that we could satisfy the conditions without having to bring in external consultants. We now possess a certificate that confirms we are a healthy, above-board and transparent company. It’s an ideal time for such recognition. In addition we are engaged in environmental protection with Praktiker's “green point” initiative.
