We encourage social and environmental criteria to be incorporated into the development and production processes of the products we sell, endeavouring to communicate that to our customers, whenever possible.
In 2018, we launched over 290 Private Brand and Perishable products with sustainability certification:
Biedronka and Pingo Doce have launched the Go Bio range, a global brand of organic products exclusively available in these two companies. All products are certified by an external entity to ensure that they do not have pesticides or genetically modified organisms, and that they respect best environmental practices, assuring the consumer of all the benefits of organic farming.
In 2018, 78 references were launched in Biedronka and 36 in Pingo Doce. Some of these references also feature the V-Label seal, a certificate which ensures that these products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
The data referring to Private Brand products with sustainability certification launched in 2018 was verified by an external and independent entity in the context of the Group’s 2018 Annual Report.
