At HELLENIC PETROLEUM the remuneration system is designed to recognize and reward employees for their accomplishments and performance and for the value that they bring to the Group. The Group is committed to providing competitive salaries that are designed to attract, retain and motivate employees and ensure the skills required for succeeding in all aspects of our business activity.

The remuneration policy for our staff is determined by the Business Collective Labour Agreement. The remuneration and benefits for Executive Level employees are determined by a remuneration system which is directly linked to the assessment of their positions, their individual performance and the attainment of goals set.

While these benefits vary by company and by country, all employees are provided with medical insurance, full or partial disability insurance, pension plans, and child benefits, such as nursery expenses, educational aid, awards for outstanding academic performance, etc.
