Sustainability is an important part of our corporate identity and business strategy, making it one of the 7 strategic pillars of how we conduct our business. In 2024 we continued our journey of sustainable development of the PENNY network in Romania and continued our efforts to integrate economic, environmental and social responsibility into the core of our strategy, governance and operations. For several years, we have been establishing a link between our business decisions and strategic areas of sustainability. Our strategy remains focused on generating a positive economic, social and environmental impact within the community. We have established four central pillars of sustainability that have allowed us to align sustainability initiatives with the strategic objectives of the business, aware that this integration brings added value. We aim to establish the concept of sustainable consumption at the level of the entire market, so that our company's sustainability strategy is based on the four pillars, one that sets the limits and directions, and the other three operational, within which the areas of action define the main topics of our commitment to sustainability: SUSTAINABLE ASSORTMENT.
