Our association with both the broader society and the local communities that our facilities are neighboring is durable, multi-faceted and substantial.
The initiatives undertaken by the Group are linked to the needs of each region and concern the society, the environment and the local economy. They are formed through open dialogue with stakeholders, research and identification of material topics, public opinion surveys, public debates and consultations.
The results of these practices are evaluated and reviewed so as to take into account and respond to the needs of the stakeholders, as reflected in the related surveys and studies.

The Group's social contribution and its responsible stance as against the social whole, taking into account the on-going economic crisis in Greece, in collaboration with more than 130 NGOs, was based on five main keystones: Socially Vulnerable Groups, New Generation, Sustainable Cities & Environment, Culture, Sports & Health.
In 2017 we pursued initiatives and focused our attention on urgent issues and sectors where the needs are greater, such as the refugee issue. In this way, we contributed to social solidarity, mutual assistance and voluntarism, lending special emphasis to developing initiatives via collaborations.
The Group's multi-faceted action plan in Greece and abroad also supports activities related to infrastructure projects and improving quality of life, as well as programs related to the environment, culture and sports, evidencing the Group's on-going efforts to contribute to the sustainable development of local communities and society generally.
