Corporate Social Responsibility

In all areas of its activity, the Group complies with the principles of professionalism and business credibility, while at the same
time ensuring the quality and safety of the products it trades. We also conscientiously care for relations with clients, suppliers,
employees, local community and investors, basing them on respect and mutual trust. The UNIMOT Group tries to conduct its
business activity in a socially responsible and sustainable way, i.e. so that the needs of the present generation are satisfied
without diminishing the chances of future generations to satisfy their needs. The Group’s priority is to act transparently,
considering environmental (including climate), social and management objectives.
On 25.03.2022, the Board of Directors adopted a Sustainability Strategy, which is based on five pillars (strategic objectives)
addressing each of the main ESG areas: environment (“E” for environment), society (“S” for social responsibility) and corporate
governance (“G” for corporate governance). Under these pillars, the Group has defined twelve activities to achieve these
objectives. In addition to the existing internal regulations (policies, procedures) concerning the ESG area, additional regulations were adopted to support the achievement of the set objectives and activities. The Management Board declared to support the activities resulting from the above regulations and will ensure appropriate resources and means to implement the objectives defined therein. Full content of the Strategy was published on 25-03-2022 and posted on the website

The UNIMOT Group also endeavours to respect the natural environment and the surrounding in which it operates. As a fuel
company it strives to minimise the negative impact on the natural environment, among others, through a diligent
implementation of the National Indicative target and development of alternative means of transport powered with electricity.
The Group, being simultaneously also an electricity seller strives to ensure that it comes to the largest extent from renewable
energy sources.
The AVIA station chain offers Fairtrade-certified coffee in its new Eat&Go dining concept. The Fairtrade certification system
seeks to improve the situation of small farmers in the global South who grow coffee, among other things. Farmers in Fairtrade
cooperatives receive at least a minimum purchase price for their crops, which protects them from sharp price drops on the
world market. For every pound of coffee sold, they receive a Fairtrade premium for development projects. In addition to
economic issues, Fairtrade places great emphasis on appropriate social conditions – equal rights for women and combating
forced and child labour.
