Pepco Group Sustainability Strategy

Our sustainability strategy: Where Growth Meets Care

“Where Growth Meets Care” is more than a commitment, it’s our guiding framework for becoming a responsible, resilient and future-fit organisation. As one of Europe’s leading variety discount retailers, we believe it is vital to embed sustainability into how we operate and approach long-term planning.

Our values – Care for our people, Be at our best, Love our customers – remain the foundation of this transformation. They define who we are. Where Growth Meets Care turns our values into action, making growth and care interdependent.

Our sustainability strategy has been further developed after our 2025 double materiality assessment and initial target setting. It focuses on our most material sustainability topics, organised under three strategic pillars, anchored by our Sustainability Statement reporting framework and supported by strong governance. Aligned with evolving European regulations – including CSRD, the EU Taxonomy and CSDDD – our sustainability strategy ensures we remain competitive, compliant and trusted.

These three pillars are underpinned by our Sustainability Statement reporting framework, which ensures good governance, transparency and compliance.

Together, they enable us to proactively address our ESG impacts, risks and opportunities – from operational disruption and regulatory change to shifting customer expectations – with clear mitigation and measurable progress.
