IBERSOL | Integrated Management Report | 2025
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT REPORT 2025 3.4. Price Risk Significant changes in commodity prices are largely reflected in the selling prices of products and monitored by the market. However, when commodity price increases are much higher than general inflation, these changes are gradually impacted in selling prices, and in the short term there may be a degradation of the gross margin. 3.5. Environmental risks Environmental impact The Ibersol Group’s management of environmental risks is largely based on the implementation and certification of manage- ment systems, such as ISO 14001. In particular, the main flows of packaging materials are monitored and reporting obligations are met with the entities licensed to manage and promote the selection, collection and recycling of packaging in the Portu- guese and Spanish markets. Climate change Climate change is increasingly affecting agricultural production in various markets, leading to food shortages, price volatility and disruptive events in global supply chains. To help mitigate these situations and guarantee the continuity of its activities, the Ibersol Group is working on reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and adjusting its sourcing strategies. Extreme events The increasingly frequent occurrence of extreme natural events threatens people’s safety and business continuity. The Ibersol Group has ISO certifications that guarantee high standards of occupational health and safety, as well as complying with all legal rules on physical safety and civil protection. Use of energy and natural resources The Ibersol Group depends on the use of energy and natural resources, namely electricity, gas and water, for its operations. The Group is aware of the impacts that factors such as the increase in average global temperature and price volatility in the energy market may have on its operations and results, and therefore maintains internal policies and specific initiatives for more efficient use of these resources. 383
