AKTOR strengthens focus on decarbonisation and circular economy

According to the report, the Group places climate change mitigation and adaptation at the core of its business strategy, implementing the “AKTOR Decarbonization Strategy 2030” plan with the aim of progressively reducing its carbon footprint and strengthening the resilience of its operations.

Decarbonisation strategy and climate resilience

As part of its new strategy, AKTOR has already introduced specialised tools and mechanisms for assessing environmental risks, such as the Climate Resilience Analysis and the Biodiversity Impact Assessment.

These initiatives enable the Group to identify climate-related risks at an early stage, adapt its operations to evolving conditions, and enhance its long-term operational resilience.

At the same time, the development of a Group-wide Biodiversity Policy is underway, along with a strategy for creating shared value for the local communities in which it operates.

Emphasis on circular economy

Particular importance is also being placed on the implementation of circular economy practices across the Group’s construction sites.

AKTOR applies structured waste management systems aimed at reducing the volume of construction, demolition, and excavation waste (CDW) sent to landfill, while promoting the reuse and recycling of materials wherever technically feasible.

In parallel, the Group is developing a comprehensive circular economy framework, which is expected to be gradually implemented from 2027, incorporating modern practices in responsible procurement, resource management, and circular production.

EcoVadis Silver Award

The Group’s progress was also reflected in its first assessment by the international sustainability rating agency EcoVadis, where AKTOR received the Silver Award.

This distinction places the Group among the top 15% of companies in its sector worldwide assessed on the EcoVadis platform, confirming the integration of sustainability criteria into its operations and strategy.

Strong environmental performance

The Sustainability Report records notable improvements in the Group’s environmental indicators during 2025.

Energy production from renewable sources increased by 35%, reaching 47,000 MWh compared to 36,000 MWh in the previous year, while fossil fuel-based energy consumption decreased by 15%, from 283,000 MWh to 238,000 MWh.

In addition, the volume of recycled and reused water increased by 8%, reaching nearly 140,000 cubic metres, while 91% of construction, demolition, and excavation waste was recycled or reused.

Investment in people and corporate governance

In the area of corporate governance, the Group recorded significant progress in equality and workforce development.

The proportion of women in senior management positions increased from 23% to 30%, while total employee training hours rose by 52%.

During the year, the new digital training platform AKTOR Drive was also launched, alongside specialised ESG training programmes for executives and employees.

In addition, the procurement policy and supplier evaluation system were revised to integrate sustainability criteria across the entire supply chain.

Social contribution and scholarships

In the social sphere, AKTOR continued to support initiatives for local communities, youth, sports, culture, and vulnerable social groups.

The gender pay gap remained at 4.40%, below the 5% target, while the AKTOR4The Future scholarship programme stood out as a flagship initiative.

This is the Group’s largest corporate scholarship programme, covering postgraduate studies in Greece and abroad, while also offering guaranteed five-year employment to recipients upon completion of their studies.

The 2025 Sustainability Report reflects AKTOR’s strategic transition towards a more sustainable, resilient, and efficient business model, with a strong focus on climate adaptation, circular economy, and the creation of long-term value for society and shareholder
