6. 2020 SUMMARY
In an unprecedently challenging landscape, we delivered well, making the necessary short term adjustments without losing sight of the longer term vision for the businesses and for our corporate responsibility ambitions
We invested to protect the value propositions in difficult times and we believe this will bear fruits ahead
Cost structures were streamlined to the circumstances and in the case of Ara with improvements that will be carried forward
The strength of the balance sheet and the commitment of our teams gave us the confidence to do the right things for the longer run and we exited 2020 with strong models, resilient supply chain, solid logistic response and good cash generation
Good execution across the different areas of the Companies, well articulated and supported by the Group's Executive Management Team were pivotal for the performance
7. OUTLOOK 2021 - THE CONTEXT
2021 macroeconomic prospects will depend on the evolution of the pandemic scenario at global level and in each country, and with the evolution of large-scale vaccination
Continued lack of visibility on further confinement measures and on its impacts on the economies and consumer behaviour, in the countries where we operate, at least in the first half of the year
Poland, as in 2020, should be the economy with the strongest domestic private consumption.

1. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY IN VALUE CREATION
OUR APPROACH
As a food specialist, we believe that we can make a difference in the society and the environment by creating sustainable and socially responsible value, influencing practices and processes that have a relevant impact on people and the environment. That is why we promote the adoption of good practices and high-quality standards along the value chain, in food, in managing environmental risks, impacts and opportunities in our sourcing activities, in the jobs we create and in the way we support surrounding communities.
In order for our business, which has over 225 years of existence, to continue to thrive we have defined a Corporate Responsibility strategy, consisting of five pillars of action, which is transversal to the Group's Companies, seeking to address the challenges identified by stakeholders and the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations and the Global Compact Principles.
Promoting Good Health through Food - Fostering the quality and diversity of the food products that the Companies sell and ensuring food safety in its broader sense, including the availability, accessibility and sustainability of the products sold.
2020 Highlights
• Nutritional reformulations of Private Brand and Perishables products made it possible to prevent 2,468 tonnes of sugar, 184 tonnes of saturated fat, 28 tonnes of fat and 58 tonnes of salt from entering the market
• Lactose-free references increased by 30% in Portugal and Poland altogether and the offer of products for vegetarians and/or vegans was expanded with another 78 products
• In Poland, all food products aimed at children are free of preservatives, sweeteners, glucose-fructose syrup, phosphates, monosodium glutamate, hydrogenated vegetable oils and the polyglycerol polyricinoleate emulsifier (E476)
• Development of the "Dieta Mediterrânica à Portuguesa" conference ("Portuguese Mediterranean Diet") within the scope of Pingo Doce's 40th anniversary, which aimed to promote a healthier and more sustainable food pattern, and launched the "Juliana" brand that celebrates the Mediterranean traditions and flavours
• 13 thousand internal audits on the Group's infrastructures, complemented by around 148 thousand analysis of work surfaces and manipulators, among others, and around 60 thousand food product analysis
• More than 108 thousand training hours in hygiene and food safety reached around 35 thousand employees, in a total of more than 9 thousand sessions
Respecting the Environment - Work every day to reduce the environmental impact of our processes and our supply chain, improving the efficiency and incorporating procedures and technologies with a lower ecological footprint. There are three priority areas of action: climate change, biodiversity and waste management.
2020 Highlights
• Group's carbon footprint, per €1,000 of sales, decreased, in 2020, by 37.9% compared to 2017, meeting the reduction target for the 2018-2020 triennium
• 148 new ecodesign packaging projects were implemented, contributing to the annual savings of more than 3,700 tonnes of packaging materials. Since its beginning, in 2010, this project prevented the use of about 27,500 tonnes of materials, such as plastic or cardboard
• Ara's two new Distribution Centres are the first in the Group to take advantage of waste water that, after treatment, is stored in reservoirs for later use in irrigating green spaces and in toilets. In 2020, 2,089 m3 of these waters were reused, helping to reduce water consumption through recycling
• As part of its commitment to promoting the circular economy, Biedronka placed guiding pictograms for waste separation on its Private Brand packaging and its components, to raise consumer awareness about correct recycling practices. Also in 2020, the Company eliminated PVC - a plastic that presents difficulties in the recycling process and can contaminate other plastics of greater value - in more than 40 Private Brand references
• Pingo Doce and Recheio eliminated microplastics from their entire Private Brand range in personal hygiene, cosmetics and detergents categories, in a total of 520 products with these characteristics
• The Group maintained the "A-" score at CDP Climate 2020, continuing at the "Leadership" level and responded for the second time to the CDP Water Security theme in 2020, having obtained an overall "B" score, corresponding to the " Management" level
Sourcing Responsibly - Monitor the origins and production processes of the products we sell, incorporating ethical, social and environmental concerns in our decisions throughout the supply chain. We are committed to developing long-lasting commercial relationships, practising fair prices and supporting local production in the countries where we operate.
2020 Highlights
• Around 90% of all food products sold by the Group were sourced from local suppliers, keeping this ratio above our 80% target
• More than 200 Private Brand and Perishable products and/or packaging with sustainability certificates were launched, reaching a total of 659 references with these characteristics (95 more references compared to 2019)
• About 45% of the Group's Private Brand fresh eggs sold in 2020 were classified as "cage-free" (barn eggs, free-range eggs or organic eggs), an increase of 13p.p. compared to 2019, contributing to the goal of progressively increasing this proportion to 100% by 2025
• Support to the Forest Management Plan in the Açor mountain range (Portugal) which aims to preserve and enhance the landscape devastated by forest fires. The initiative will cover an area of 2,500 hectares in the interior of the country, where trees of fire-resistant species will be planted, creating new sources of income for local populations, contributing to the reforestation of this area and restoring the biodiversity of forests
• The Group updated its Sustainable Fish Strategy, in order to ban the purchase and sale of species classified as "Endangered" whenever they do not come from 100% aquaculture and/or from stocks sustainably produced and/or do not have a sustainability certificate
• For the second year in a row, Jerónimo Martins obtained a global score of "A-" in the CDP Forests 2020, for all evaluated commodities: palm oil, soy, beef and paper and wood, being the only food retailer in the world to obtain the leadership level for all commodities
