The outside-in perspective for the Company Inside-out perspectiv on the Environment and Society Risks Opportunities Negative impacts Positive impacts • Lowering costs for managing generated food waste • Reducing financial losses caused by the loss of saleable products and their conversion into waste • New technological opportunities for processing meat into animal protein • Food waste leads to greenhouse gas emissions during decomposition in landfills; therefore, we apply various methods to reduce the amount of food waste and to repurpose it when it is no longer intended for human consumption • Food waste, and implicitly the generation of food waste regardless of quantity, presents a social problem by worsening shortages among disadvantaged populations • Generating waste of any kind has a negative impact on the environment, requiring resource consumption for recovery or disposal • Reducing negative environmental impact during the development, construction, and operation phases of a certified green building compared to a conventional building • During the operational phase, the main advantages are energy efficiency, conservation of natural resources through reduced consumption, and support for the circular economy • Promoting sustainability in construction Positive social impact for vulnerable population groups by reducing food insecurity through collaboration with food banks and product donations • Reducing environmental impact and fostering the circular economy by collaborating with food waste recovery partners instead of disposal • Creating a positive impact in the value chain by educating consumers and partners on the topic of food waste 4 Logistics and Mobility • The lack of widely available viable solutions to replace conventional freight transport (based on fossil fuels) makes proper management of this material aspect very difficult • Reducing operational costs and improving operational performance by optimizing transport routes • Lowering fuel costs by replacing highconsumption vehicles • Any activities related to logistics and land mobility have negative impacts, such as noise and harmful emissions, affecting both the environment and human health • Even as we gradually transition to more efficient transport modes, we continue to consume large amounts of fossil fuels due to the lack of widely available viable alternatives to conventional freight transport • For consumers (customers who might use charging stations), the transition to electric vehicles may involve a financial effort • Through the development of our activity, we contribute to creating jobs for our logistics suppliers • We help reduce emissions by optimizing transport routes, renewing the fleet with more efficient vehicles, and equipping our stores with electric charging stations • Promoting the transition to more sustainable mobility SUSTAINABILITY STEP-BY-STEP CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BUSINESS SUSTAINABLE ASSORTMENT ENERGY, CLIMATE AND RESOURCES EMPLOYEES AND SOCIETY INDEX GRI & SASB SUSTAINABILITY STEP-BY-STEP
