Dear all,
Please note that I have a financial conflict of interest as I am working in the communications department of Metro AG. As suggested by Robert_McClenon I would like to discuss the creation of an own article about the CEO of Metro AG, Olaf Koch, here on this talk page. I have suggested a draft within AfC here. I provided additional information on the books Olaf Koch wrote on the talk page of the draft.
I would be grateful if we could discuss here whether Olaf Koch should have an own article and whether my suggestion might be suitable.
@ Otr500:, @ Primefac: What do you think?
I am very much looking forward to your feedback.
Thank you in advance.

Dear all,
I wanted to discuss whether a deletion of the whole "Wholesale Operations" section would make sense. Why? Because today with a look on our website and the respective country websites the information on our stores can easily be found and the list here on Wikipedia seems often outdated: We open new stores and others may get closed. What do you think?
If it is believed that the section is still valuable to the reader, I would like to suggest to make the following updates:

"Unlike most of its Western competitors, MetroAG has been slow to announce any divestments or scaling back of its operations in Russia, drawing criticism."
"Unlike most of its Western competitors, Metro AG announced to keep its business in Russia open, which drew criticism. The company said that the decision was made after careful internal evaluation and based on its responsibility to its 10,000 colleagues in Russia."
"Wholesaler Metro Condemns Attack In Ukraine, Keeps Russian Operations Open". European Supermarket Magazine. 2022-03-14. Retrieved 2022-03-15.
The current wording (especially "been slow to announce any divestments or scaling back of its operations in Russia") is not reflected in the sources and seems to be the interpretation of the author. Furthermore, the company's point of view is not integrated, which would make it a more neutral statement. NPOV states "Articles must not take sides, but should explain the sides, fairly and without editorial bias." |
