In a November 2022 podcast interview, Metro CEO Steffen Greubel discussed the company's operations in Russia. He stated that if Metro were to leave Russia, the company would be expropriated, effectively giving away a high three-digit million amount to a Russian oligarch or the Russian state. He questioned whether it would be better to remain, noting that the business is profitable and generates cash flow, rather than forfeiting the entire profit. Greubel also commented on management philosophy, saying that it would do every corporation good to carry a bit of Reinhold Würth within themselves. He described this as incorporating a grounded, Swabian approach and maintaining closeness to customers, products, and employees.
