We are pleased that our energy and environmental interventions are starting to pay off for the benefit of our shareholders and consumers," said the company's president, Ayis Papadopoulos.

"In addition to the financial benefit we will secure from the 'green' bilateral contracts, we will achieve a reduction of our environmental footprint, with a positive impact on the company's valuation, as we participate in the Athens Stock Exchange ESG Index", Mr. Amanatidis concluded.
