The outside-in perspective for the Company Inside-out perspectiv on the Environment and Society Risks Opportunities Negative impacts Positive impacts ENERGY, CLIMATE AND RESOURCES pillar 1 Energy efficiency • Increased operational costs caused by rising conventional energy prices when investments in consumption reduction are not maintained • Significant resources must be allocated to ongoing operational improvements and reducing energy consumption • Lower energy consumption leads to savings in operational costs • The use of non-renewable energy generates greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change and air pollution. Measures to reduce this impact include initiatives to lower energy consumption, purchasing renewable energy, and investing in renewable energy production • Contributing to the increase in the percentage of energy in the national grid • Improving the quality of life by ensuring a Cleaner environment • Promoting this approach to other companies to support the sustainable development of the Activities • Supporting new business sectors in specific areas such as production and installation of photovoltaic panels • Employees can have a sense of contentment by associating with a sustainable company, which brings Positive impacts on the environment 2 Climate change mitigation and adaptation • Increased footprint reduction efforts can can require significant financial and operational resources, in particular specifically, for on-chain data collection supply • Reducing the carbon footprint leads to savings in operational costs • Strengthening long-term partnerships by adding value to suppliers’ operations through carbon footprint reduction and improved quality standards • Greenhouse gas emissions have serious environmental and social consequences, including global warming, extreme weather events, ecosystem disruption, biodiversity loss, and negative effects on human health, agriculture, and water resources, with a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations • Improving climate quality through various decarbonization measures and gradual carbon footprint reduction 3 Conservation of resources • Implementation of new operational provisions e.g. SGR – has a greater operational impact on discounters when implementing the system • Allocation of significant financial resources for the initial investment, obtaining certification, Building Maintenance and Monitoring • Allocation of substantial financial resources for managing food waste • Damage to reputation in case of generating large amounts of food waste • Reducing operational costs by lowering resource consumption • Reducing operational costs through energyefficient buildings • Increasing asset value • Improving employee productivity by providing modern and efficient work environments • Accessing subsidies for the development of green buildings • Generating waste of any kind has a negative impact on the environment, requiring resource consumption for production and for recovery or disposal; we encourage recycling and proper waste sorting • Network expansion implicitly involves land occupation (regardless of the initial degree of land use or the land’s intended purpose) • Contributing to ensuring resource availability for both current and future communities so that finite resources remain accessible to stakeholders • Reducing environmental pressure through responsible consumption of finite resources • Promoting a responsible consumption pattern • Employees can feel a sense of satisfaction by associating with a sustainable company that brings positive environmental impacts MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGEMENT SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE ABOUT US AND OUR VALUE CHAIN ABOUT THE REPORT THE FUTURE IS MADE TODAY SUSTAINABILITY MILESTONES SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PENNY ROMANIA 2024 50/276
