We are building the future of e-commerce 🚀 In March, we looked back into 2025, and it was a year of bold execution for us. We’ve embraced the opportunities in front of us as the technology platform for fashion and lifestyle, powered by data and infrastructure that moves as fast as you do. We’re unlocking tremendous value for our partners and 60 million customers by using AI to create experiences people actually love. From connecting you with over 7,000 lifestyle brands to helping our partners succeed across Europe, we’re focused on what’s next. After returning to growth in 2024 and accelerating through 2025, in 2026 we are executing with speed and determination. We’re not just following the trends; we’re building the future of European e-commerce. Speed, data, and a lot of heart. Let’s move.

Shopping convenience is a given. The next decade is about emotion. Let's talk 2030 at the World Retail Congress 2026 🚀 Our co-founder David Schneider will open the Congress on 28 April to share his view on retail’s roadmap to 2030. What’s on the agenda? 🔸Vision over short-termism: The pace of change today is an opportunity, not just a challenge. 🔸Retail is human - enhanced by AI: The next decade belongs to those who shift from transactional commerce to emotional, personal experiences, community-driven and personalised at scale by AI. 🔸Proximity to customer enables retail: The brands that will win are the ones that stay closest to their customers and turn data insights into rapid action. If you are in Berlin for the Congress, join us at 9:30 AM on 28 April to hear how we can map the future of retail together.

From getting dressed to getting dinner: Zalando Plus just got tastier 👗🍕 We’ve teamed up with Wolt to bring Wolt+ directly to our Zalando Plus members. Members in Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Croatia, and Luxembourg can now unlock free access to Wolt+ for 4, 6 or 12 months, depending on their tier — including €0 delivery fees and exclusive discounts across restaurants, grocery stores, and local retail partners. This is our first-ever partner benefit that lives outside our platform. Why? Because we want to be a useful part of your day, from finding your new favorite look to finding your next favorite meal. Our Director of Loyalty, Olga Batievskaya, puts it best: "Over the last year, we have evolved the Plus experience by introducing missions and rewards that recognise how our members actually engage with us. The results speak for themselves: our members visit us 2.2x more often and spend 3x more time exploring our assortment. Now, we are taking the next step. By adding Wolt+, we are offering a utility that makes Plus a useful part of our members' daily lives, well beyond the Zalando experience." Ready to eat?

Wow, what an event! The 45th edition of the NN Marathon Rotterdam was again a true experience with hundreds of thousands of visitors and 18,000 people running 42 kilometres. We were proud to be an official sponsor, supporting not only the athletes on the track but also the dedicated community of supporters who turned the marathon into a big happening. This partnership is a key pillar of our strategy to become the go-to multi-specialist destination for sports in Europe. We see huge untapped potential: over 85% of our customers are active in sports weekly. By creating specialised 'Worlds of Sport' and partnering with iconic events, we provide the technical expertise and inspiration our customers need for their specific sports journeys. Laura Toledano Khelif, General Manager Western Europe, says: “Teaming up with locally relevant moments like the NN Marathon Rotterdam allows us to connect authentically with the community. In a country where sports are essential to daily life, we want to support runners throughout their entire journey from the first training run to crossing the heroic finish line on the Coolsingel avenue – by becoming the ‘supporter of supporters’, we celebrated the unique spirit of Rotterdam”. A special thanks to Golazo Group.

We’re just getting started. 👟✨ Last Sunday, the Warsaw running community proved that the hardest part of any run is just getting out the door. We traded the snooze button for the pavement, and the energy at our first “Your Run Starts Here” social run was unmatched. From technical gear discussions to a post-run "Finish Line" fuel ritual at BAKEN, we’re redefining what it means to #ChooseRunning in Poland. It’s not just about the pace; it’s about the "me time" and the collective atmosphere that keeps us moving. Missed the first one? You’ve got two more chances to join the crew: Run #2: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 Run #3: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 Whether you’re a tempo regular or a first-timer, there’s a group for you—no judgment, just running. Start/Finish: BAKEN, Browary Warszawskie The Reward: Exclusive "Finish Line" bagels by Mariusz Mac and expert kit advice from the Zalando team. Secure your spot: Registration for the last run will open on April 20th. Head over to Bieganie.pl to sign up: https://zln.do/4vhYM62

Standard sizing vs real bodies: what can technology fix? At the London Fashion Tech Show by PI - Fashion's Technology Community, Pelin Anli Bedirhanoglu, Director of Product Management, shared how we’re tackling fashion’s biggest headache: size and fit. Technology is a powerful tool, but it’s not a solo mission. To move from "mass production" to "mass personalisation," we’re layering up our innovation: 🔸 Foundational: we use algorithms to provide size flags and recommendations – already informing over 65% of our orders. 🔸Advanced: we’re giving you more control with Body Measurement tools (used by 1 million customers!) and personalised Size Profiles. 🔸Disruptive: Our 3D Virtual Fitting Rooms bring the changing booth to your living room. The impact? It’s real. These tools have already prevented 8% of size-related returns across the platform. In our Virtual Fitting Room pilots, we’ve even seen returns drop by 40%. The future of fit isn't just about better code; it’s about reconnecting brands and consumers to create more tailored collections and less waste. As Pelin highlighted, technology can do a lot, but digitalising fit is a journey we’re taking together with our partners and brands. 🤝

Efficiency drives impact. At our Sports Knowledge Day, Tevy Tan, Senior Merchandise Planner, shared how we’re streamlining our strategic deliverables in Sports.
