SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PENNY ROMANIA 2022 4/250 Dear Friends, In an ever-changing world, we accept responsibility for adding value to the communities in which we operate, ensuring a better future for future generations. At PENNY, we have built our vision for a responsible future on a strong foundation of sustainability. We think that the only way we can set an example for sustainable and trustworthy business is by respecting resources, protecting the environment, and showing gratitude to our partners, suppliers, and coworkers. Because at PENNY, the future is made TODAY, we act now for tomorrow's success. Therefore, in 2022, we ensured that each of our actions were aligned inside one of the three PENNY sustainability pillars: • Sustainable assortment – because developing a sustainable assortment and promoting the consumption of such products are our main objectives, additionally providing a balanced diet with local and regional products. • Energy, climate and resources – through energy efficiency, green buildings, electric mobility, online monitoring. • Employees and society – through social responsibility and food waste management. We are proud of what we have achieved in 2022. We have continued to support local producers and offer our customers a sustainable assortment through the TripleRO (3RO) target, which we have been committed to since 2020. By the end of this year, we aim for 60% of the assortment in our stores to be produced, processed and have the main ingredient in Romania. As part of TripleRO, in 2022, we launched the initiative "100 business ideas for Romania", where we analyzed 100 opportunities for the development of local businesses in industries such as agriculture, packaging or cosmetics, in order to find solutions that will be able to offer Romanians 100% Romanian products in the near future. The year 2022 also produced extremely good achievements in terms of energy efficiency and resource restructuring, bringing us closer to the ultimate objective of having the smallest possible environmental impact and reaching climate neutrality. And because at PENNY success starts with people and returns to them, in 2022, we continued to show all our colleagues why we deserve to be a Top Employer in Romania, through programs and benefits designed to give them the best possible work-life balance. The year 2023 has been declared the year of sustainability at PENNY. By implementing sustainable policies and practices that help in building a better, safer, and greener future for all, we are strongly committed to maintain our position as a significant player in Romanian retail. In the following pages, we invite you to explore our projects that have an impact on the community and the environment. Enjoy your reading!
