In 2025, our total energy consumption increased by 5.3% compared with 2024, as a result of business growth (more than 400 new stores were opened) and the inclusion within the JMA universe of Supreme Fruits and Tasty Fruits. However, when looking at energy consumption in relation to sales, we observe a 2.0% reduction compared with 2024 – 65.0 MWh per million euros of sales in 2025 versus 66.0 MWh in the previous year.
Of our activities with a high climate impact1, retail accounted for 98.1% of total energy consumption, industry (Section C, NACE Rev. 2) for 1.1%, and agriculture and fisheries (Section A, NACE Rev. 2) for 0.7%. Jeronymo (Section I, NACE Rev. 2) was also considered, although it is not classified among the activities with high climate impact, and represents 0.1% of the Group’s energy consumption.

In 2025, and with the exception of Recheio, all the Companies consumed more energy. Ara and Biedronka recorded the largest absolute increase (more than 40 MWh each), due not only from the expansion of the number of stores but also from local factors: in Poland, the harsher and longer winter increased heating needs; in Colombia, there was a need to rely on the use of generators for electricity production. Pingo Doce’s energy consumption increased by 3.7% due to the expansion of ready‑to‑eat and takeaway sections to more stores.
In 2025, we increased the number of stores with electric and hybrid vehicle charging points to 515 at Biedronka, 260 at Pingo Doce and 7 at Recheio, having supplied more than 15.3 MWh.

More than half of the energy we consume comes from renewable sources, although its share decreased slightly (1.6 p.p. less than in 2024) due to the significant reduction of the renewable component in Poland’s energy mix. The decrease in the share of renewable energy was mitigated by the continued investment we have been making in power purchase agreements and guarantees of origin.
Considering only electricity consumption, around 63% came from renewable sources. The significant increase in nuclear energy consumption results from the strong penetration of this type of production in the Slovak electricity sector.
1 The high‑climate‑impact sectors considered in the calculation of energy intensity are: Section A – Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; Section C – Industry; and Section G – Wholesale and Retail Trade.
