Legal compliance Legal compliance refers to the fulfillment of all obligations established by law. We implement this principle by ensuring an efficient quality system, which includes constantly monitoring and updating potential legislative changes, establishing and complying with internal procedures and conducting internal audits that allow the early identification of any weaknesses or vulnerabilities. At the same time, we aim to implement an efficient system for document control that allows us to maintain traceability and comply with the legal provisions in all our operational areas. Given the size and complexity of our business, although we implement a multitude of measures to ensure legal compliance in all our operations, there is always the risk of error. In 2023, we were sanctioned with fines totaling 0.06% of the turnover of REWE (România) S.R.L., in the following categories: z Product labeling – 0.036% of turnover z Shelf price labeling – 0.006% of turnover z Storage conditions and product quality – 0.013% of turnover z Environmental protection – 0.0004% of turnover z Marketing communications – 0.0012% of turnover Product labeling problems accounted for about half of the sanctioning situations, and this is due to the dynamics of the extensive product portfolio we manage (regardless of whether they are our private label or products outside our own PENNY assortment). In this regard, all the identified situations were quickly addressed by remedying the problems identified following the controls. At the same time, in 2023 there were a series of legislative changes that impacted our activity.
