Logistics and Mobility EXPLANATION OF THE IMPACT In 2023, logistics in the retail sector remained a key area for business efficiency. Its impact on our corporate structure is profound, influencing both day-to-day operations and financial performance. As an essential element for the optimal performance of our activities, any disruption in the supply chain can trigger domino effects, affecting our entire operation. At the same time, road transport can significantly contribute to the deterioration of the environment and the quality of social life, through harmful emissions and pollutants resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. OUR IMPACT AND PERFORMANCE IN FIGURES z 87% of the freight fleet is composed of Euro 6 vehicles z While the covered distance for deliveries increased by 6.79%, we optimized transport routes to keep the same average distance between logistics centers and stores, increasing the average daily distance travelled by a truck by just 5% z We have reduced by 30% the business trips by rented car or private car (not the company's fleet) z 17% of the PENNY store network is equipped with electric charging stations HOW WE CONTROL THE IMPACT The efficient control of logistics flows is coordinated by our logistics department, which is essential for the optimal functioning of logistics centers and stores, as well as for the coordination of all freight transport processes. During 2023, all freight transport was carried out exclusively through subcontracted fleets from companies specialized in providing these services. We continued to improve our logistics processes by: z optimization of logistics processes and transport routes using a dedicated planning system z reducing distances between logistics centers and stores z increasing vehicle utilization z modernizating of the contracted fleet SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PENNY ROMANIA 2023 172/256 MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTORS SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE ABOUT US AND OUR VALUE CHAIN ABOUT THE REPORT THE FUTURE IS MADE TODAY SUSTAINABILITY MILESTONES CONTENTS
