Intensity of Electricity consumption (kWh/m²) - total consumption per average total sales area 2019 2022 2023 PROGRESS 2023 vs. 2022 vs. 2019 Electricity intensity from the grid (total - includes tenants) 482 434 422 - 2.76% - 12.45% Intensity of electricity consumption from the grid (without consumption of renters or charging stations for electric cars) 459 406 390 - 3.94% - 15.03% Energy efficiency Together with our ISO 50001 certified Energy Management System, we have assumed the REWE Group Energy Policy, which allows us to continuously develop our energy performance and achieve our strategic objectives in terms of climate protection. Through our Energy Policy*, we are committed to the following principles: z full legal compliance on energy consumption and energy efficiency z proper data management and continuous improvement of energy-related performance and our energy management system z Promoting awareness among our employees and customers about energy efficiency and climate protection z increasing energy efficiency and renewable energy use Overall, we are committed to operating in a responsible and sustainable way, with a focus on reducing the amount of energy generated from fossil fuels and switching to renewable sources. We take actions and implement various implemented technologies to optimize the specific energy consumption in the following areas of operations: stores, logistics centers, central and logistics transport. By adhering to these principles, we support the climate protection goal of the REWE Group through our energy management. We will continue to promote the expansion of renewable energy sources, take steps towards climate neutrality by 2040 and continue to use energy-efficient technologies. We are committed to providing all the information and resources necessary to achieve our energy and climate goals. The first step towards energy efficiency is to carefully monitor consumption and associate this data with operational activities, locations and other relevant factors that can indicate specific consumption patterns. We monitor different consumption categories annually, and for leased locations, the consumption of conventional energy, including nuclear, and renewable sources is determined based on the national production mix, as indicated by the energy labels. * For more information on PENNY Romania's Energy Policy, please visit: https://sustenabilitate.penny.ro/documente/politicaenergetica.pdf SUSTAINABILITY STEP BY STEP CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BUSINESS SUSTAINABLE ASSORTMENT ENERGY, CLIMATE AND RESOURCES EMPLOYEES AND SOCIETY GRI & SASB INDEX ASSURANCE OF SELECTED NON-FINANCIAL INDICATORS
