The independent assurance report, which includes the objectives and scope of the external review, as well as the procedures used and their conclusions, are attached as an appendix.
This document forms part of the FY2022 consolidated Management Report of Compañía de Distribución Integral Logista Holdings S.A. and its subsidiary companies. It is subject to the same criteria for approval, presentation and publication as the Management Report. By drafting this report, Logista complies with the provisions of Articles 262 of the Spanish Companies Act and Article 49 of the Spanish Code of Commerce, as amended by Act 11 of 28 December 2018 on non-financial information and diversity.
The report’s quantitative data correspond to the year 2022 financial year – the period from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022. Figures are rounded, except percentages and certain remuneration data.
The qualitative information included in the report explains the historical performance and the performance expected by the Company from analysis of the current context. It does not make a commitment to attaining those objectives, since they are subject to risks and uncertainties.
The scope of this report encompasses all the operations carried out by 100% of Logista’s subsidiaries included in the consolidation scope.
PIn addition, according to the analysis completed and as required by Law 11 of 28 December 2018, Logista companies which have a legal obligation to present a non-financial reporting statement in accordance with Law 11 of 28 December 2018, and the new wording of Article 262.5 of the Spanish Code of Commerce, are exempt from issuing a non-financial reporting statement as this information is included in the 2022 Integrated Annual Report, except for Logista Libros S.L. which will issue its own non-financial reporting statement given that it is equity-accounted by Logista.
For further information on the 2022 financial year, Logista also publishes the following reports, which are also available on our website.
During the 2022 financial year, Logista has reviewed the aspects identified as the most material aspects during the 2021 financial year, carrying out a materiality analysis on them once again in order to include any new aspects considered material and/ or any that have emerged throughout the course of 2022, such as the macroeconomic context’s potential impact on the Company’s results due to inflationary pressures.
Both internal and external sources have been considered in order to update the aspects requiring assessment, as have the opinions and concerns expressed by the Company’s stakeholders, primarily shareholders and investors.
Materiality analysis
For the 2022 financial year, Logista has applied the same double materiality analysis that it applied the previous year. It directly contacted its external stakeholders (analysts, investors, clients, suppliers and CSR agents) to hear their view on Logista’s impact from an environmental, social and corporate governance standpoint; and it also consulted its internal stakeholders – its employees – in a bid to assess how these factors respectively affect the company in the short, medium and long term.
In order to broaden the scope of this analysis, Logista has increased the list of contacts for its various stakeholders, reaching out to a total of over 900 contacts to complete the analysis.
The conclusions drawn from this analysis indicate that client satisfaction and financial performance , are the most material aspects overall. For external stakeholders, the most material aspect is client satisfaction while employees consider financial performance to be the most relevant.

The EU Taxonomy Regulation is part of the European Commission’s action plan (EU Green Deal), which aims to redirect capital flows to achieve a carbon neutral economy by 2050 in a more sustainable economic framework aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
In line with this Regulation, we have consulted the list of economic activities described in Annexes I and II to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021 concerning the European Union’s first two environmental objectives (climate change mitigation and adaptation).
We have determined the Company’s activities deemed eligible based on those annexes. We have considered the following aspects:
Economic activities eligible for the Taxonomy are described in Annex I and II to the above mentioned Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021, regardless of whether the economic activity meets some or all of the stipulated technical selection criteria.
According to the Taxonomy, any economic activity not described in the annexes is a non-eligible economic activity.
For all economic activities identified as eligible, we have obtained the key performance indicators associated with turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure (OpEx) as laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021.
Prior to calculating the key eligibility indicators, we have assessed the potential eligibility of all economic activities relevant to our business in accordance with Annexes I and II to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139.
In this analysis we have taken account of both Logista’s revenue-generating activities and cross-organisational activities that do not bring in revenues but incur capital and/or operating expenditure (CapEx and/or OpEx).
The following table describes the types of operations carried out by Logista that correspond to activities categorised as eligible under the above-mentioned regulation.
Regarding the activity “6.6. Road freight transport services”, the Taxonomy activities attributable to Logista and thus eligible were identified as transport services in which the Company has operational control.
Logista prepared its own method to identify the transport services in which the Company has operational control. Using this method, Logista collected a set of predefined vehicle and route characteristics for each transport service. By reference to these characteristics, criteria were developed to determine whether the transport service is conducted under Logista’s operational control, such as whether there is control over the route by defining the exact route to be followed by the carrier, over the vehicle or over the driver.
We effectively control the remaining (cross-organisational) operations. In particular our real estate department determines the technical specifications of projects and systems in place in the assets managed by the Company.

Set out below are the calculations for the eligibility KPIs based on Annex I to Delegated Regulation 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021, which specifies the calculation approach.
Revenue KPI
Delegated Regulation 2021/2178 defines this KPI as the ratio of revenues from eligible activities to total revenues at the group level. These are revenues recognised in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 1, paragraph 82.a), as adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008.
The numerator for this KPI was calculated taking into consideration eligible revenue-generating activities. In view of the group’s business model, the Company only identified as an eligible activity: “6.6. Road freight transport services”, i.e. freight transport services categorised as under operational control and thus eligible.
Revenues from such activities (activity 6.6. according to the Taxonomy) amount to €9.5M.
The KPI denominator is include on the notes to Logista’s consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 September 2022 (see the income statement line “Net turnover”).
Eligible total (€ Million) | Total (€ Million) | Eligible economic activities according to Taxonomy (as a %) | |
Revenue | 9.5 | 11,463.6 | 0.1% |
Logista plays an important role as a wholesaler of tobacconists and other local retail establishments, which means that a large part of our turnover comes from the sale of the products we supply to our channels. This particularity of our business model explains the amount of eligibility reported.
CapEx KPI
The CapEx KPI is defined as the ratio of CapEx associated with eligible activities to total CapEx at the group level. Total CapEx covers asset additions before depreciation, amortisation, restatements and impairment losses (excluding fair value changes). The types of asset additions to be recognised, in accordance with the Taxonomy legislation, are defined by the following accounting standards:
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, paragraph 73, letter e), indents i) and iii);
IAS 38 Intangible Assets, paragraph 118, letter e), indent i);
IAS 40 Investment Property, paragraph 76, letters a) and b), (for the fair value model);
IAS 40 Investment Property, paragraph 79, letter d), indents i) e ii), (for the cost model);
IAS 41 Agriculture, paragraph 50, letters b) and e);
IFRS 16 Leases, paragraphs 53 letter h).
In Logista’s case, only asset additions associated with property, plant and equipment (IAS 16), intangible assets (IAS 38) and right-of-use assets under long-term leases (IFRS 16) were identified. These three types of assets were therefore included in the calculation of both the numerator and the denominator of the CapEx KPI.
The KPI numerator was therefore calculated based on these types of asset additions (mentioned in the previous paragraph) relating to the identified set of eligible activities. The total of this numerator amounts to €10.4 million.
The KPI denominator is directly linked to the Logista group’s consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 September 2022 and is the sum of the costs reflected under “additions or charges” associated with the following headings: “Property, plant and equipment” (see the table for 2022 in Note 6.1, “Rights of use” (see the table for 2022 in Note 6.2 and “Other intangible assets” (see the table for 2022 in Note 8).
Eligible total (€ Million) | Total (€ Million) | Eligible economic activities according to Taxonomy (as a %) | |
Capex | 10.4 | 80.0 | 13.0% |
In relation to these results, it should also be noted that most of Logista’s eligible CapEx comes from activities: 7.2 Renovation of existing properties and 6.6 Road freight transport services.
OpEx KPI
Finally, the Taxonomy regulation defines the eligibility indicator KPI associated with total expenditure (OpEx) as the ratio between the operating expenditure defined by the Taxonomy (referred to below as: “Taxonomy OpEx”) associated with eligible activities and total expenditure.
According to applicable legislation (Annex I to Delegated Regulation 2021/2178), Taxonomy OpEx is limited to non-capitalised operating expenses relating to research and development, building renovation measures, short-term leases, repairs and maintenance, and other direct expenditure incurred in the daily maintenance of property, plant and equipment by the company or a subcontracted third party, which must be necessary to allow the continued, efficient use of the assets.
In view of the group’s business model and based on the provisions of paragraph 1.1.3.2 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021, the Logista group reports this eligibility KPI as immaterial.
To support non-materiality, the Company calculated the ratio of the “Taxonomy OpEx” to the group’s total costs. This ratio is well below the Company’s materiality threshold of 5%. Specifically, only 0.2% of the Company’s total costs meet the Taxonomy OpEx definition, as shown in the table below.
The result obtained is consistent with the type of total costs incurred by the Company and, in particular, with the relevance of procurement expenditure compared to other operating expenses, due to the business model of Logista, which plays an important role as a wholesaler of tobacconists and other local establishments, which implies that supplies are a necessary expense for the development of its activity.
Consequently, and considering the provisions of paragraph 1.1.3.2 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation of 6 July 2021, the Company reports the numerator of the OpEx KPI to be zero.
Total (€ Million) | Ratio of operating expenditure as defined by the Taxonomy to total costs (as a %) | |
Total costs* | 11,151.2 | 0.2% |
Operating expenses according to the Taxonomy | 20.7 |
