In 2025, more than 52% of the energy purchased will come from renewable sources, with 73 photovoltaic systems active at points of sale and 148 electric recharging stations installed or planned.

"The implementation of our industrial plan focused on the redevelopment of the sales network, the evolution of the shop format, and the strengthening of our private label, which is increasingly central to the relationship of trust with the consumer and consistent with our promise of good shopping not only in words," emphasises Maria Luisa Podini, CEO of Md.

In terms of ESG activities, the sustainability and ethical impact of a company's activities, the brand has continued to invest in local communities by allocating more than EUR 2.3 million to improving urban spaces connected to shops and strengthening welfare, training and safety activities throughout the supply chain.

"Sustainability is now an integral part of our business model," emphasises Maria Luisa Podini, "and requires concrete and continuous investment every year. We are proud to be part of a large community made up of employees, customers and suppliers who daily share our commitment to generating widespread value for the territory and the communities in which we operate'.
