Inclusion in sport is about access, visibility — and about having the right gear to perform. When para-athletes talk about adaptive clothing, they're not talking about minor adjustments; they're talking about freedom. As part of the lead-up to the BMW BERLIN MARATHON, we dove into conversations sparked by a panel talk with outstanding para-athletes Ali Lacin, Verena Bentele and Tina Deeken at the Zalando Run Zone. Their insights are powerful: 🔸 It's "armour:” Clothing designed for disabled people boosts confidence and comfort, serving as a powerful tool. 🔸 It's functional: Imagine pants with full-length side zippers—a total gamechanger for prosthesis users who need quick and comfortable access. These small design details make a massive difference in sport and daily life. 🔸 It’s access: Offering adaptive clothing that is both functional and stylish, including sportswear, helps make sports - and fashion - more inclusive. Hit play below to hear why inclusion in sport and adaptive clothing matter. Thanks to Achilles International Germany for hosting us all for a run.👇

Our mobile app just got a cross-platform superpower. 🚀 We recently combined our internal React-based UI composition framework Rendering Engine with React Native in a brownfield integration approach. This enables us to gradually modernise our Zalando mobile app while at the same time introducing cross-platform technologies to build shared experiences for App and Web. René Eichhorn dives deep into this integration approach and the lessons learned so far on our Engineering Blog: https://zln.do/4niClbQ #InsideZalando #ZalandoTech

Mentorship is a game changer—if you know how to play. 💡 Good mentorship isn't just about having a name; it's about getting the right boost to push your career forward. As part of our recent 'Game-Changing Mentorship' design community networking event, we invited top design leaders to Berlin for a frank conversation: what truly makes mentorship work, and what makes it fail? As our Principal Product Designer Anna Skorobogatova 🇺🇦 shares, "Many designers are actively seeking mentorship and see it as a valuable instrument for growth and development. To support this need, we invited respected leaders from the design field to share their perspectives and experiences." Ready to level up your career with the right advice? Check out our recap on the blog: https://zln.do/3WfXJn7 Thanks to Adam B Cochrane, Salman Farsi, Geon-Young Lee, Marc Mellone, Gloria Rupprecht & Lana Criggs for taking the stage with us.

More Than a Dream: We’re backing Germany's Olympic Bid. 🇩🇪 We know big dreams only happen when you build them together. That’s why we’re excited to join the Business Initiative for a German #OlympicBid, led by German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB). Hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games is a huge opportunity for Germany. It’s an investment that will boost innovation, infrastructure, and jobs—strengthening our location and competitiveness for the long term. What we set in motion today will achieve great things tomorrow. We're proud to be part of the collective effort to make this happen.

CDR isn't a side project at Zalando – it's coded into our DNA 🧬 Our SVP Corporate Governance & General Counsel, Dr. Lena Wallenhorst, MBA, LLM spoke at the CDR Conference about what Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) means in practice for a European tech company. For us, CDR is an integral part of the Zalando DNA. It’s integrated in our commitment to building a high-quality, trustworthy shopping experience and long-term relationships with our brand partners. However, that responsibility needs a fair foundation. Lena highlighted a critical point: CDR relies on the effective enforcement of laws. When competitors operate on non-compliant standards, it creates an unfair playing field and raises the question of how much responsibility companies can afford. Lena discussed this and other points with State Secretary Frank Schwabe, Janina Mütze and Isabelle Rosière – moderated by Christian Thorun. What unites all is the commitment to CDR and the value we see in it. Thanks to the CDR Initiative for having Lena on stage!  Thank you for the continued support of the Bundesministerium der Justiz und für Verbraucherschutz on the topic of CDR! #cdrk25
