During the Economic Forum in Karpacz, Żabka Polska presented a new kind of shop – Eko Smart, combining sustainable solutions with new technological developments. The first such shop will be opened in Poznań, with three more to follow.
Żabka Eko Smart continues and combines the projects that the company has been implementing since 2020, when the first shop powered by 100% green energy was launched in Warsaw. The next step was the opening of Żabka Smart in Poznań in April 2022 – a testing ground for technological solutions facilitating the work of franchisees and their employees.
“Żabka Eko Smart is teeming with innovative technological solutions based on AI, which co-operate and communicate with the shop assistants and perform certain actions on site,” said Adam Manikowski, Vice President and Managing Director. “Running this kind of shop is highly intuitive and productive for franchisees.”
“Żabka has had an ESG strategy for a few years already,” said Anna Grabowska, VP of the Management Board for Consumer Strategies. “As part of its fourth pillar, Green Planet, we focus mainly on two areas: decarbonisation and circularity. To decarbonise our value chain we are using green energy, green transport and innovative shop solutions cutting emissions. Equally important is working towards achieving a circular economy.”
