This strategy lays the foundation for strengthening infrastructure, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability.

The investment plan in Greece focuses on the development of modern facilities and the enhancement of environmental infrastructure for waste management, next-generation anti-pollution technologies, and the implementation of net-zero emissions solutions to reduce environmental impact.

At the same time, the Group is making strategic investments in new technologies, research, and the development of innovative tools. It is also embracing digital operations to enhance its services and implementing AI-powered solutions in practice.
