Dana BĂLĂNESCU Digital Commerce Operations Manager Supply and distribution chain Compared to the previous year, there were no major changes in the location of suppliers, the structure of the approval chain, or the relationship with suppliers, including procedures for selecting suppliers or for concluding or terminating contracts. Thus, we are continuing our efforts to improve the capabilities of these supply chain actors, with whom we actively collabo- rate to ensure the sustainability of our products and services to all customers. We do this by controlling the quality and quantity of supply and by developing environmental and social criteria in the selection of suppliers. The products marketed by PENNY involve collaboration with many actors in the value chain, and their overall structure is: manufacturers, suppliers, logistics centers, PENNY stores, E-Commerce partners, customers. As far as external suppliers are concerned, we have developed sustainable supply chains, based on the application of sustainable development principles, supply control and the development of environmental criteria in the selection of suppliers. The goods we receive from them are examined by our employees, who are regularly trained on hygiene and other requirements necessary for handling the goods. In addition to our continued collaboration with Glovo, in 2022 we entered into a new partnership with Bringo to be as close as possible to our customers regardless of the platforms they are on. Together with our partners at Step One Spedition and Mercedes-Benz Trucks & Buses Romania, we have started testing the eActros 300, the first electric truck available in Romania to transport the products we put on the shelf.
