The company recognises that its future growth and competitiveness depend on the systematic incorporation of environmental, social, and ethical values (ESG) at every operational level.

Management’s objective is to achieve full alignment with European sustainability standards, specifically following the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework, which is also used by ICAP CRIF and Synesgy for corporate ESG assessments.
Spanos Group has already initiated the process of developing its ESG strategy in accordance with the principles of the GRI and the EU Taxonomy.
