PACKAGING MANAGEMENT EXPLANATION OF THE IMPACT To ensure that the quality and freshness of products are preserved, packaging plays an essential role in, but if not properly managed, it can have a significant negative impact on the environment, both in the production process and in the disposal phase. Aware of these challenges within PENNY Romania's supply chains, we take responsibility for integrating the use of sustainable packaging into our activities. We are committed to upholding the principles of the circular economy and incentivizing consumers to practice separate collection and combat food waste, by informing and facilitating access to effective recycling options. HOW WE CONTROL THE IMPACT We constantly evaluate all types of packaging used for our products, with the aim of finding solutions that reduce the impact on the environment. Our sustainability strategy includes the following main lines of action: z Reducing the size of packaging and the amount of plastic and microplastic used, z Improving packaging design to include circular economy principles such as recycling or reuse, z Preventing pollution by encouraging consumers to actively participate in the selective collection of packaging waste. OUR IMPACT AND PERFORMANCE IN FIGURES We calculate the plastic footprint annually, through which we consider the percentage of plastic allocated to the products we put on the market, thus monitoring our progress in reducing the environmental impact of the packaging used.
