Water consumption Within our locations, the primary use of water is focused on office activities and maintaining a clean environment. We are committed to recycling and using water to irrigate green spaces whenever possible. In our current practices, we do not resort to the use of water in industrial processes or other complex procedures. We are honored to share in this report our progress in the efficient management of water resources. During the period under review, we achieved a Water Intensity Ratio of 103 cubic meters consumed for every million Euros generated as net income. This value represents the total water consumption in all our operations, including logistics centers and branches, and reflects our ongoing dedication to the prudent use of water. We also want to be transparent about the total amount of water discharged, which in the reported period was 170,500 cubic meters, discharged into sewerage systems. This figure highlights the relevance of our purification procedures and minimizing the impact on aquatic ecosystems. To protect the quality of the water we discharge, each PENNY store is equipped with fat and hydrocarbon settling and separation systems. In addition, we use only environmentally friendly detergents, thus ensuring that the water we reintroduce into the environment meets the high-quality standards imposed by public water services.
