• 100% replacement of R404a refrigerant in our installations with a refrigerant with a lower global warming potential (GWP) • Reduction of GHG emissions intensity by 10% (kg CO₂eq/ m² sales area) compared to 2023 and by 49% compared to 2019 Our stores and logistics centers are certified: • 2 BREEAM Outstanding certifications, New Construction (1 store and 1 logistics center) • 75 BREEAM certified stores in Use Part 1 – Asset Performance (3 with the "outstanding" score and the rest with the "excellent" score) • 19 BREEAM certified stores in Use Part 2 – Management Performance with the score (18 with the score "excellent" and one with the score "very good") Carbon Footprint Management In order to be able to develop specific climate protection measures and to be able to track performance in this area, every year we calculate our carbon footprint on Scope 1 (Scope 1, direct emissions), Scope 2 (Scope 2, indirect emissions) and Scope 3 (Scope 3, indirect emissions). We are aware that only evidencebased targets set by companies can have a substantial impact and support the transition to a low-carbon economy, helping to ensure that global warming does not exceed 1.5ºC. The achievement of the objectives set is addressed through detailed planning of the measures and investments taken by us to enable energy efficiency, the transition to renewable energy sources, the phasing out of refrigerants with a high climate impact and other aspects. We have kept the same methodology, through which we collect the raw data at the level of our company, we transmit the information to the REWE Group, where these data are processed by external consultants who perform the calculation. At the level of the 2024 financial year, we have kept the same calculation method for greenhouse gas emissions, following the GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Protocol) standards and using conversion factors from international databases. As in previous years, we calculate the amount of indirect emissions using both the market-based and location-based methods, and in this report we present the results according to the market-based method. The input data used for these calculations are part of the following categories: • Electricity (purchased from electricity suppliers and from own production, in kWh) • Space heating (natural gas, district heating or other fuels, in kWh) • Rented vehicles for transport of goods (distances/kilometers or used fuel, in liters) • Business travel (kilometers covered with rented cars, plane, train) • Refrigerants (quantity replaced, in kg) SUSTAINABILITY STEP-BY-STEP CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BUSINESS SUSTAINABLE ASSORTMENT ENERGY, CLIMATE AND RESOURCES EMPLOYEES AND SOCIETY INDEX GRI & SASB ENERGY, CLIMATE AND RESOURCES
