IMPACT ECONOMIC SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL Ethics in the Supply Chain Processes The marketing of regional products has the effect of stimulating the local economy and reducing the transport costs. Also, the transparent and sustainable practices that we promote help to increase our brand's reputation. The sustainable management in the supply chain is consistent with the customers’ needs. Moreover, it implies compliance with human rights and the provision of favourable working conditions to collaborators. We are vigilant that all our suppliers do not use methods involving forced labour, as this does not comply with PENNY's principles of labour conduct, and the Romanian Labour Code. Local or regional products have a much lower carbon footprint, and we want to meet our customers’ expectations concerning fresh products, but also taking into account their origin and possible impact generated by the transport or even their manufacturing. Animal welfare The failure to comply with responsibility principles can affect the company's reputation, but it can also have legal consequences. The attention that we give to animal care standards is essential to the health and wellbeing of consumers. The compliance with animal welfare conditions by our producers and suppliers can help our company to place on the shelf local or regional products with a lower environmental impact, if the consumers’ demand is balanced enough. Environmental protection The support of producers of sustainable products leads to the creation of economic added value to the local communities and the creation of new jobs. Our awareness campaigns are aimed at reducing waste and, implicitly, at reducing environmental pollution, with a positive effect on the health of communities we are living in. The implementation of topics of circular economy leads to conservation of the planet's limited resources and to waste reduction. And the support of farmers who use environmentalfriendly production methods helps reducing water, air, and soil pollution. Nutrition We reply to the consumers’ demand for healthier products, therefore helping to increase our consumers’ quality of life. By establishing the quality criteria and the products' nutritional content, we promote a healthy lifestyle for our customers and employees. We do not always succeed in satisfying the demand, but we pay attention to the consumers’ needs and expectations. By the campaigns ran with our local partners, we promote ecological agriculture and sustainable products.
