Bread and bakery products In 2024, we collaborated with 65 local producers of bread and bakery products, registering a decrease of 4% compared to the 69 of the previous year. The number of local bread suppliers with direct delivery to branches has been reduced We are following as before: • Lowest price guarantee in the locality • Product availability/ fast delivery • Supporting local producers By collaborating with local bread suppliers, we ensure the freshness of our products by: • The shortening of the distribution chain, which allows the supply of bread even twice a day, and implicitly the large volume of products purchased from local bread suppliers, allows the significant growth of their businesses; • Inclusion in the selection process of local suppliers of the criterion of distance of 50 km from the stores to be served. We further ensure the transparency of the baking process by using ovens placed in plain sight. The products arrive in stores ready to be baked and offered for sale directly on site. We make sure that we comply with the specifications for baking various assortments and that we use the baking equipment safely. Hygiene and food safety are priorities, as is the assessment of the quality of products and the implementation of appropriate measures if they do not reach the established standards. We have also introduced a system for monitoring baking schedules to ensure the consistency and quality of our products.
