In progress.
In 2025, 109 suppliers of perishable and Private Brand products were subject to new environmental audits, 34 of which held ISO 14001 certification. In the 2024-2025 period, 138 suppliers were audited according to the selection criteria, representing 12% of the established target.

Accomplished.
The goal had already been achieved in 2024 and, in 2025, all the units of the new fresh eggs suppliers for Biedronka’s Private Brand were also inspected.

Accomplished.
In Poland, audits with animal welfare related aspects were carried out in slaughterhouses and laying-hen facilities of Biedronka’s suppliers. In the operations in Portugal, animal welfare topics were performed in audits covering primary meat production, slaughterhouses and fresh aquaculture fish production (for suppliers not certified by GlobalG.A.P.). The results of these audits are reported in “Selection and monitoring of suppliers”.

In progress.
At Biedronka, suppliers in this category were assessed in 2024, with further audits planned throughout 2026. Additionally in Portugal, 100% of Pingo Doce and Recheio’s suppliers were assessed in 2025, according to the “Fish Welfare” standard, developed by the Group.
