7 About this report This is our sixth sustainable development report, published every two years, presenting the results of the operations of privately held company Nowy Styl sp. z o.o. and its selected related companies between 01.01.2022 and 31.12.2023. We have decided to use this reporting cycle, covering two financial reporting periods, because our company is not obliged to report sustainability information. Once the company is subjected to that obligation, the reporting cycle will be aligned with financial reporting. Our previous CSR report entitled Make Your Space Responsible , covering the years 2020-2021, was published in autumn 2022. This report for 2022-2023 was prepared in the same way as the previous one, based on the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative from 2021. The report has undergone an independent external audit by KPMG Advisory Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością sp.k. (hereinafter “KPMG Advisory”). Verification covered selected GRI indicators (marked with an “*” in the GRI table at the end of the publication). The financial data comes from financial reports audited by independent certified auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers Polska spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością Audyt sp. k. (hereinafter “PWC Polska”). This guarantees that the data it includes concerning the key areas of sustainability: employee relations, impact on the environment, local community and the market are reliable and complete, and that these areas are managed effectively. In order to optimise the costs of the companies operating on the German market and thus strengthen the Group’s position on that key market, the management board of the parent company decided to carry out local restructuring, as a result of which the production processes at Nowy Styl GmbH were terminated. As a result, and in alignment with the methodology used in our previous CSR reports for reporting information from production compa- nies belonging to the capital group, Nowy Styl GmbH was not included in the reporting scope for 2022-2023, which has ultimately been reflected in the aggregate data for the companies presented in this document. No significant errors in the values of the reported indicators were found in the 2020-2021 report, hence no corrections were made to the information originally presented. The methodologies for calculating the indica- tors have not changed compared to those used in previous reports, except for the reporting units for indicator 302-1 (we previously reported in MWh, now in GJ) and for indicator 303-1 (we previously reported in m 3 , now in ML). We regularly analyse Nowy Styl value chain because we are aware that each of its links can generate added value, opportunities, risks and chances for growth. The purpose of that analysis is to identify activities that are a source of competitive advantage or activities that can be optimized to increase the value delivered to customers, for example by improving production processes. We want to keep up with the changes taking place in the markets we serve and in their environment, in align- ment with the values arising from our organisational culture, therefore, due to the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine, Nowy Styl has closed its sales channels in Russia.
