Last week, I attended the Italian Tech Week, a conference that brings together founders and tech enthusiasts from around the world. The conversation I had on stage with Diego Piacentini, moderated by Amy O'Brien, circled around company culture, a topic that is close to my heart and the focus of our yearly founding days that just took place yesterday, 16 years after we brought Zalando live. On stage, we asked ourselves: How do you scale and internationalise a company without compromising on its culture and spirit? A question which David and I, like any founder, had to face early on. What became crystal clear: You have to actively invest in your company culture and the communication around it. You need to create mechanisms to ensure that employees are not only clear about your company strategy but also have the tools to stay on track with it. For us, this is our Founding Mindset, a set of principles to help Zalando employees make decisions independently and efficiently while never losing sight of what made us successful in the first place: customer focus, an entrepreneurial mindset, speed and empowerment. But the main thank you goes out to the thousands of employees who have built such a unique culture and diverse company to serve our 50 million customers in 25 European markets, bringing quality, innovation and inspiration to fashion e-commerce.

The recent Forward Festival Berlin was a great opportunity for our product design community ambassadors to explore the adjacent territories of the arts and other creative industries. A nexus of diverse international creatives, the two-day digital arts event — encompassing talks, hands-on workshops, and interactive formats — aimed to inspire attendees with pure, unexpected, and uncompromising creativity. Head to our blog to read the highlights and reflections of three Zalandos from our product design community, Senior Product Designer Marija, Product Design Manager Anna, and Senior DesignOps Manager Alejandra. They touch on cutting-edge tech, brand storytelling, productive failure, the impact of design, and the power of play: https://zln.do/47RHMIG #InsideZalando #ZalandoDesign

We're excited to join forces with Special Olympics Deutschland in promoting greater inclusivity through sport! ⚽ We recently co-hosted a Unified Football Tournament that brought together Zalando employees from our Mönchengladbach Logistics Site, Dortmund Tech Hub, and amazing athletes from Hephata. The energy on the field was electric, as mixed teams shared their mutual love for football, creating an unforgettable, joyful atmosphere. After the matches, we came together for lunch to get to know each other and exchange stories. This event reminded us that sport has the unique power to unite us, celebrate diversity, and foster teamwork 🧡 #SpecialOlympicsDeutschland #InsideZalando #ZalandoTech #ZalandoLogistics #InclusiveByDesign
