Energy performance of buildings Our energy performance highlights a significant improvement in energy efficiency, reflected in the increased number of stores achieving higher energy performance classes*. Energy performance Number of newly opened stores 2022 2023 2024 Class A 20 13 17 Class B 9 14 7 Class C 0 1 0 * Leased locations or buildings built prior to the arrangement of the PENNY store were not included in the calculation of the energy performance. The implementation of photovoltaic systems has contributed significantly to the reduction of energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. The new methodology for calculating energy performance has brought an additional advantage to the use of renewable sources, helping to improve the energy classification of buildings. Currently, 57% of our CPE stores opened between 2023 and 2024 are built according to the nZEB (nearly Zero Energy Building) standard, which reflects our strong commitment to energy efficiency and sustainable infrastructure development." The construction of wooden stores is an important step towards reducing the carbon footprint, using a renewable material, with low environmental impact, which contributes to the creation of sustainable, energy-efficient commercial spaces with a natural design harmoniously integrated into the landscape. Currently, our portfolio includes 6 stores made entirely of wood (Oltenița, Hunedoara, Titu, Pucioasa, Turnu Măgurele, Brașov), along with 3 other locations (Victoria, Cisnădie, Breaza) where the main structure (beam) is made of wood, reflecting our commitment to the use of renewable materials and sustainable construction solutions.
