Reporting framework, references and guidelines This report follows the same reporting frameworks as those of recent years: GRI (Global Reporting Initiative of 2021) and SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board). The full list of specific standards and indicators in both reporting frameworks is included in the last section of the report, entitled 'GRI and SASB Index'. The report was prepared by PENNY representatives with the assistance of an external consultant specialized in sustainability. At the level of REWE Group, we have started updating and restructuring the sustainability reporting process to meet the new requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The non-financial data presented in this report were not provided by a third party. Understanding the content In order to provide clarity and traceability in terms of the information reported, we have kept the same structure of the report as in the previous year. This structure has been developed to facilitate the rapid and efficient recognition of the fundamentals of our business. The only update in terms of the structure of the report was the elimination of the sections dedicated to the initiatives for progress at the end of each chapter, since there were no new developments in this regard. At the same time, we moved the sections with the centralizing tables on the impacts of material aspects on the economic, environmental and social directions from the beginning of each chapter. The im-pacts have been updated and supplemented with risks and opportunities and can be found in a centralized way in the chapter "Sustainability Step by Step", section of "Matrix of materiality". It is essential to communicate how we manage the impact we generate and highlight our measurable achievements. We monitor progress not only to meet our sustainability goals, but also to support operational goals that help reduce our impact. Within the report, you'll find specific icons that will help quickly identify information of interest and that have particular meaning.
