We want to make it easy for c and more sustainable decisio In 2022 many house- holds have experienced a pressure on their budgets. At REMA 1000 we wish to help our customers to remain able to make healthier and more sustainable choices. Even with a greater focus on the economy. That is ”Discount with an a tt itude”. In 2022, for the second time in a row, we re- ceived the award, ”The Most Sustainable Brand in Denmark”*, through a consumer survey by Sustainable Brand Index. We are incredibly proud and believe that this should be accred- ited to the great e ff ort made by our colleagues, store owners, suppliers and partners every day. At the same time, this award is an obligation, and it becomes our driver of our continued e ff orts to make it possible and easy to make healthier and more sustainable choices while grocery shopping. We help our customers in a busy daily life In 2022, together with the food planning app, Mambeno, we made it even easier for our cus- tomers to plan and shop for a more varied and healthier daily day, with a a ff ordable budget. We continue focussing on ways to expand our assortment of products with o ffi cial labelling regulations and certifications able to guide our customers towards selecting healthier food and products produced with special consideration given to humans and the environment. *) Sustainable Brand Index is the largest independent brand survey in Europe with a focus on sustainability.

INTRODUCTION customers to make healthier ons in their everyday life ENVIRONMENT HEALTH PEOPLE We focus on our ability to monitor our e ff orts Food waste and plastic are examples of some of the e ff orts with which we have been working for a long time, and with which we have initiat- ed concrete solutions on a product level which we gather have been very well received by our customers. In these years, at the same time, we focus on being able to monitor the general results of the numerous activities that we initiated. We have started monitoring and reporting on our food waste and on the total climate impact of our en- tire corporate group. In 2022 we expanded our carbon footprint ac- counting, for it to include numerous additional emission factors. We have not completed this by 100 per cent , and we expect our data quality and measurements to undergo development for the next many years to come. Our work to increase our transparency with data is time demanding but important. We need to know and document the impact coming from us on our surrounding society and vice versa. We must ensure that our initiatives have the desired impact, and that we as a company are taking our share of the responsibility for a sustainable tran- sition of our society. We are pulling together 2022 has been another year in which our cus- tomers, colleagues, store owners, suppliers and partners have been joining us pulling o ff our sustainable e ff orts. Out customers have continued supporting REMA 1000 and selected us in their busy every- day lives. They have been shopping groceries for each others and supporting their local store through REMA 1000 with Vigo. Our colleagues and store owners have been car- rying our culture on their shoulders and placing the customers as the boss at the highest level. They have ensured that our colleagues have been part of a strong community regardless of age, gender or background. Our suppliers have delivered innovative solu- tions for sustainable problems – including Gram Slot which said goodbye to soy and became the producer of their own feed. Our partners have been supporting our sustain- ability e ff orts by sharing knowledge and contin- uously helping us improve and implement initia- tives within our sustainable areas of focus. I therefore wish to thank all customers, store owners, colleagues, suppliers for their great ef- forts made during 2022. I look forward to con- tinuing this work in future.
