The installation of photovoltaic systems at the company's headquarters in Magoula, Attiki,  has as its primary objective the reduction of our environmental footprint, being the first step in the green transition by enhancing environmental protection. In addition, the company's goal is to reduce energy consumption and save financial resources, while contributing to its sustainable development. Finally, by maintaining a responsible attitude towards the environment and promoting its actions and investments for sustainable development, the company, through its large network, aspires to raise awareness among all stakeholders to follow similar actions, thus contributing to the change of social and corporate culture on environmental issues.

This investment has been completed in 2022 and is in full use, but it is not an isolated action of the company, but it is part of a general strategy towards "green growth", regarding the achievement of the objectives of European Green Deal.

Almost all of our carbon footprint comes from electricity consumption. So, we focused all our attention on finding an action plan for ways we could reduce our consumption. In addition, our most energy-intensive facility is the company's headquarters in Magoula. So as the first step of the action plan to reduce electricity consumption, we decided to install a photovoltaic system at the company's headquarters in Magoula, because it would have the biggest and most immediate effect. So, moving in this direction, in December 2022 the company proceeded to install photovoltaic systems on the roof of the building in Magoula with a maximum PV power of 900kw. The cost of the investment was close to 430,000€ and it operates through a net metering program. 

The year of 2023 was the first year of full use of the photovoltaic system and the Company achieved a 45% reduction in energy consumption in its most energy-intensive installation compared to 2022.

The energy savings resulting from the use of the PV system for 2023 was 1.040MWh, while the total electricity generation from the PV system was 1,273MWh. The remaining energy (233 MWh) produced from PV, was injected into the grid. With this action, the company achieved a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and its overall environmental footprint, helping to promote sustainability by investing in renewable energy sources.
