Selected non-financial indicator Material Theme GRI benchmark Definitions and criteria Localization in the Sustainability Report 1 Proportion of expenditure with local suppliers Regionality and local products GRI 204-1 – Proportion of spending on local suppliers a. Percentage of the procurement budget used for significant locations of operation that is spent on suppliers local to that operation (such as percentage of products and services purchased locally). b. The organization’s geographical definition of ‘local’. c. The definition used for ‘significant locations of operation’. Local supplier = an organization or individual that provides a product or service to the reporting organization and is based in the same geographical market as the reporting organization (in the case of PENNY, local, in relation to the merchandise supplier (what is sold in PENNY stores – due to the company's activity), is equivalent to the geographical market – Romania; the fiscal registration of suppliers considered local must be done by the National Trade Register Office of Romania). The main field of activity of REWE (Romania) S.R.L. is 471 – Retail trade in non-specialized stores, and the main activity of the company is 4 711 – Retail trade in non-specialized stores, with a predominant sale of food products, beverages, and tobacco. In the case of REWE (Romania) S.R.L., significant operating locations represent all sites on the territory of Romania where the company carries out its activity in accordance with Romanian laws and the Articles of Association. The sites are divided into three categories: the headquarters (the company's registered office), logistics centers, and PENNY stores, registe Chapter 'SUSTAINABLE ASSORTMENT', p. 21, 109 2 Energy consumption within the organization Climate protection GRI 302-1 – Energy consumption within the organization a. Total fuel consumption within the organization from non-renewable sources, in joules or multiples, and including fuel types used. b. Total fuel consumption within the organization from renewable sources, in joules or multiples, and including fuel types used. c. In joules, watt-hours or multiples, the total: i. electricity consumption ii. heating consumption d. In joules, watt-hours or multiples, the total: i. electricity sold ii. heating sold iii. cooling sold iv. steam sold e. Total energy consumption within the organization, in joules or multiples. f. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/ or calculation tools used. g. Source of the conversion factors used. Energy consumption parameters are calculated in kWh, being the unit of measurement from the source documents (invoices recorded in the accounting system; and where data is missing or not close to reality, from our own monitoring system; hardware and software used for measurement, recording, and reporting), for baseline data. Energy consumption is calculated using the following formula: (Power × Hours used per month) ÷ 1000 = Monthly kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption. The report presents Energy consumption within the organization in kWh, but also in Joules, applying a correction factor: 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ (https://www.physics.uci.edu/~silverma/units.html). Calculation standards for Energy consumption within REWE Romania: • Consumption recorded by electricity distributors and transmitted in the annexes of monthly invoices. • Consumption recorded by the own monitoring system, which remotely transmits information regarding the electricity consumption recorded by individual measuring stations installed at each work point. • Green / renewable energy is calculated based on information from the energy distributor – where they have purchased green certificates for REWE, and for the rest (rented spaces where we are re-invoiced by the supplier) we used the country's energy mix, based on the electricity label (drawn up according to ANRE Order no. 61/2016 – Electricity labeling regulation (www.anre.ro). No significant assumptions or estimates were considered for the calculation of this indicator. Chapter 'ENERGY, CLIMATE AND RESOURCES' , p. 147-149, 152 3 Energy intensity Climate protection GRI 302-3 – Energy intensity: a. Energy intensity ratio for the organization. b. Organization-specific metric (the denominator) chosen to calculate the ratio. c. Types of energy included in the intensity ratio; whether fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, steam, or all. The energy intensity report for the organization is calculated by considering the total electricity consumption from the grid in kWh, relative to the average total sales area. This ratio is calculated and presented both for the company's own activities and including the consumption of tenants or electric vehicle charging stations. The specific indicator (denominator) chosen to calculate the ratio is the average sales area used: 280 238.92 sqm (data source: financial-accounting system – based on the technical plans of the buildings). The type of energy included in the intensity report refers to electricity (energy from the national distribution grid as well as that produced through the company's own photovoltaic panel systems), gas consumption, and diesel consumption used exclusively for powering the stores.
