The Athens Stock Exchange announces that, starting on 1.1.2021 (1.7.2021 for the branch in Thessaloniki), it is consuming electricity that is 100% from renewable sources for its operation through its electricity provider PUBLIC POWER CORP.

The transition to using green electricity is an important step towards the implementation of the Sustainability policy of the Group, as part of which it is reexamining all aspects of its operation in order to reduce its footprint.

The operation with green electricity includes the colocation service that the Group has been successfully providing for years. Through this initiative, the Group responds to the challenges of today and at the same time provides the level of service that is required to its present and future clients.

It should be noted that the Athens Stock Exchange, responding to the challenge and the need to incorporate ESG matters (Environmental, Social, Governance) in its strategy and in the operation of Greek enterprises, published back in 2019 the ESG Reporting Guide. The Guide is a practical tool based on international best practices in order to assist companies to determine the material ESG issues that they should monitor and manage based on the effect that these issues have in their long-term performance. Through these guidelines presented by the Guide, companies can develop and strengthen their activity in matters of sustainable development.
