German trade award
The German trading price is annually since 2002 by the trade association Germany awarded as part of the German Trade Congress. It is awarded to companies that have demonstrated outstanding management performance in a difficult environment, namely "for an unparalleled success story across industries in the retail sector" and "for an exemplary success story across industries in a niche of retail".
Another award, the Lifetime Award from German Retail, is given annually to a personality whose life's work has had an outstanding impact on German retail.
