Sustainable growth

Our commitment to sustainability is not simply part of our strategy, but a pillar of our identity. Our Group was listed in the ATHEX ESG Index in November 2023.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy is built upon the following guidelines:

Education – Road Safety – Support for fellow human beings with mobility challenges – Sports and Environment.

Education: we support the young generation through initiatives such as partnerships with Educational Institutions, Junior Achievement Greece, TEDx of Greek Universities. We offer scholarships through ALBA Graduate Business School and the wonderful ExcellenSeas program, which provides opportunities to children living in remote islands. We proudly stand with Library4All, helping to stock public school libraries across the country. We believe that education is the touchstone of evolution and has the power to transform individuals and shield societies.

Road safety: We adopted the Road Safety training program “Drive Change. Move Safe” taught by Thanasis Chountras, who trained more than 1000 young people during the academic year.

Support for fellow human beings with mobility challenges: Together with the Athens University of Economics and Business, we assist students with motor challenges in improving their mobility. In addition, we stand by the first sailing team of people with disabilities in Greece, hosted by the Nautical Club of Kalamata.

Sports: We are supportive of top athletes such as Maria Sakkari, Antigoni Drisbioti, Emmanouil Karalis, Pavlos Kagialis – Ioannis Orfanos, as well as of amateur sports, supporting Nautical Clubs & Sports Clubs and major sports events.

Environment: We have been in solidarity with the voluntary organization Humanity Greece from the very beginning, helping them to respond immediately to major natural disasters, such as fires and floods (in Evros, Thessaly, Attica).

Through initiatives such as “Our Forest”, we actively show our environmental sensitivity: we have adopted a section of the burned forest in Agios Stefanos, Attica —an initiative supported by the organization ‘Alliance for Greece’ and other companies— which has already begun to transform the landscape. Finally, all our locations in Athens and Thessaloniki participate in the “Just Go Zero” Circular Economy movement.
