This is evident in our support for entrepreneurship, the creation of over 63,000 jobs, and enhancing the shopping experience for more than 3 million customers daily across our 10,000 stores in Poland. Our efforts in 2023 have again been recognized in the prestigious EcoVadis rating, placing us among the top 1% of companies worldwide in integrating ESG factors into our strategy and operations," says Tomasz Blicharski, EVP of the Management Board, Chief Strategy & Development Officer of Żabka Group.
