Education and awareness EXPLAINING THE IMPACT We want to support the communities in which we operate and that's why we contribute year after year to the implementation of programmes that support the development of children and young people. Since 2017, we have been actively involved in supporting dual education in Romania and offer internship programs to young people who want to start a career in retail. Investing in the practical training of young people facilitates their integration into the labor market, including the opportunity to become our colleagues. Our involvement in projects to support students through scholarships and internship opportunities also aims to improve educational opportunities in the communities where we operate and promote equal educational opportunities for young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. OUR IMPACT AND PERFORMANCE IN FIGURES The implementation of education programs, both those carried out in collaboration with our partners and those administered by PENNY Romania, support the education of students and young people through charitable donations, hot meals and career support. In 2022 our impact in this area materialized through: z 77 new pupils enrolled in the "School of Books and Crafts" z 60 000 Euros invested in the development of 70 young people in the "I want to be in grade 9" programme HOW WE CONTROL THE IMPACT We promote the education and development of children and young people, which is an integrated part of our CSR strategy and an important objective of our business mission and identity. The dual vocational training programme "School of Books and Crafts", helps to support and facilitate youth education, early development and the development of new skills for young people who can be more easily engaged in the workforce. Together with World Vision Romania, we offer support in the form of monthly scholarships and internship and employment opportunities to students through the "I want to be in 9th Grade" programme. The good collaboration with our partners and the impact generated for young people at the beginning of their journey has motivated us to continue these projects, to further expand our involvement and to make progress from year to year.
