Spanos Group acts as a technological facilitator and innovation accelerator, offering the Greek market solutions that enhance both energy performance and environmental responsibility.

For Spanos Group, quality is not limited to production or products; it permeates every aspect of the company’s operations — from customer service and technical support to communication and human resource management.

Quality represents a key element of corporate culture, associated with reliability, responsibility, and continuous improvement, and serves as a foundation for long-term sustainability.

Spanos Group stands among the most innovative companies in the Greek equipment industry for infrastructure and recycling projects, with a strategy that directly links technological advancement to sustainable development.
Recognizing innovation as the driving force of the green transition, the company has invested in developing solutions that reduce emissions, conserve energy, and promote sustainable industrial production.

The result of this strategy is ECOBATCH®, the world’s first concrete batching plant with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification.
This certification, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), demonstrates that the product achieves significantly lower carbon emissions, high energy efficiency, and over 90% recyclability of its materials.

Through ECOBATCH® and other green technologies available in the Greek market, Spanos Group:

• Reduces the environmental impact of concrete production,
• Supports its clients in complying with EU Taxonomy and Green Deal principles,
• Contributes to the transition of the construction sector towards a resilient and circular production model.

For Spanos Group, sustainability is not merely an environmental obligation — it is a strategic and business value.
Innovation is integrated into every product and service design, guided by:

• Minimisation of CO₂ emissions,
• Efficient use of energy and raw materials,
• Long-term equipment reliability.

By adopting ESG principles, developing certified green solutions, and committing to continuous improvement, Spanos Group is shaping a new model of sustainable industry in Greece — one that unites technology, environment, and responsibility under a shared vision for the future.

Through its activities in designing, manufacturing, and promoting innovative concrete production systems and green technologies, Spanos Group fully complies with the principles and objectives of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 – EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Investments.

1. Substantial Contribution to Environmental Objectives

The ECOBATCH® technology, certified under EPD S-P-10261 in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804, demonstrates measurable contributions to:

• Climate change mitigation through a significant reduction of CO₂ emissions during operation (only 0.18 kg CO₂ eq./m³ of concrete, based on LCA),
• Efficient energy use, consuming only 0.5 kWh per m³ of produced concrete, with no use of internal combustion engines,
• Circular economy and recycling, as >90% of plant materials are recyclable (mainly steel and metals),
• Sustainable resource management, with limited water consumption and a long technical lifespan (20 years).

2. “Do No Significant Harm” (DNSH) Principle

The production and operation of ECOBATCH® cause no significant adverse impact on other environmental objectives under the EU Taxonomy:

• No emissions of hazardous substances into soil or water,
• All consumables are free of SVHCs (>0.1%),
• The product complies with REACH Regulation and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

3. Alignment with EU Taxonomy Activity Categories

The company’s operations fall under “Construction and Technical Activities” (NACE Code C28.92 – Manufacture of machinery for mining, quarrying and construction), specifically under:

• 6.14 – Construction and civil engineering (supporting low-carbon infrastructure),
• 3.6 – Manufacture of energy-efficient equipment and machinery (technologies reducing energy and resource consumption).

4. Economic Contribution under the Taxonomy

For the reporting year 2024:

• 90% of turnover derived from products and technologies aligned with the EU Taxonomy objectives.

5. Conclusion

Spanos Group’s operations and the ECOBATCH® product are fully aligned with the EU Taxonomy framework, demonstrating:

• Substantial contribution to the green transition,
