Lighting We continue to focus on optimizing energy consumption for lighting in 2024 as well, knowing the significant impact it has on total energy consumption in our stores. That is why we are engaged in the relentless search for new approaches to make this field more efficient. We have also implemented innovative procedures and technologies, including sensorbased systems, to shorten the periods when lighting installations are active, thus helping to reduce the electricity consumption generated by lighting. The transition to full LED lighting, which we have been doing since 2019, has been essential in reducing electricity consumption per square meter of sales space in recent years. However, we are continuously searching for innovative methods to further reduce energy consumption. In this regard, trying with 2022, we have equipped our new stores with advanced lighting technology, including light control and energy management solutions, allowing us to have up to 35% lower energy consumption compared to standard LED systems. We plan to expand this technology to other stores, constantly exploring new ways to improve the energy efficiency of lighting. In 2024, new ZUMTOBEL EVIO lighting systems were purchased, a new standard (which allows the elimination of decorative lighting of the shelf ends) to replace the old ones (SCHRACK and PHILIPS) in the sales halls for 11 stores – normal and safety lighting – which leads to a reduction in the installed power by half.
