We continue the initiatives from previous years: z The use of recycled paper in the framework of our marketing and promotion activities through the use of ecological flyers and other printed media. z Planting species resistant to water and thermal stress on the green areas. We invested in plants and landscape arrangements which require reduced water consumption and we irrigate these spaces with recirculated water, in order to reduce the water consumption. z Innovative solutions like the green roofs for the new stores where this is possible. They can have a positive impact on biodiversity, in particular by attracting living creatures. We use native species or locally adapted non-native species, in order to prevent the risk of contamination of ecosystems with invasive species that can create imbalances in the local ecosystems. z Sustainable Logistics Systems, aimed at reducing wood waste generation, and adding value to resource conservation: CHEP service for reusing the pallets. Moreover, we implement a mature program for reusing the plastic containers (CPR) from IFCO. z We protect the water discharged into the sewer. Each PENNY store is equipped with fat and hydrocarbon decanters and separators and we use only biodegradable cleaning agents, in order to ensure a high standard of water discharged into the public city network. z Waste prevention and reduction program. We have a dedicated waste management and environmental monitoring team, which ensures efficient management of the waste produced on our sites. We have a concrete plan to reduce waste and we focus our attention our attention on prevention and minimization projects which bring environmental benefits as well as economic benefits.
