REDUCING OUR FOOTPRINT

Could you imagine a supermarket operating without refrigerators or freezers? Or a distribution centre without any refrigeration systems? A business like ours, which requires significant energy consumption, has a responsibility to seek the cleanest energy sources whenever possible. Investing in solar panels is an excellent way to reduce emissions, as the heat generated by the sun is a clean and renewable energy source that decreases dependence on fossil fuels.

In 2025, we expanded the installation of photovoltaic panels in our stores and distribution centres. Around 40% of our network already uses this technology, with a significant share of the equipment installed at Biedronka and Ara. The energy produced by these panels is for self‑consumption, reducing the emissions associated with purchasing electricity from the grid.

The purchase of electricity from renewable sources (for example, through power purchase agreements) and the modernisation of equipment that uses natural refrigerant gases and other low‑global‑warming‑potential gases are other measures we have been implementing. Since 2024, more than half of our total energy consumption has come from renewable sources.
