PPC Group: New Milestones and Enhanced Transparency in the Annual Sustainability Report

• Publication of the Sustainability Report for the 14th consecutive year
• Alignment with international GRI & SASB standards, the ESG Guide of the Athens Exchange, and the new ESRS/CSRD regulatory framework
• Significant improvement in ESG performance and alignment of corporate actions with the UN Sustainable Development Goals

PPC Group published its Sustainability Report for 2024, marking the 14th consecutive year of reliable and transparent reporting on its progress in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) matters.

2025 marked a new milestone in the evolution and maturity of the Group's sustainability journey, as for the first time PPC Group published its Sustainability Report integrated into the Annual Financial Report for 2024, in line with the requirements of Directive (EU) 2022/2464 (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive – CSRD), the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852), and the corresponding national legislative framework (Law 5164/2024). At the same time, PPC Group published a standalone publication of the 2024 Sustainability Report, continuing the practice of voluntary sustainability disclosures applied in previous years.

The 2024 Sustainability Report includes enhanced qualitative information, initiatives and actions related to the Group's Creating Shared Value (CSV) strategy, consistent with previous Sustainability Reports. Additionally, it incorporates expanded quantitative data, collected and calculated across all Group companies, aiming to provide more comprehensive and meaningful information to stakeholders.

The Report, which covers all subsidiaries of PPC Group, has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 2021 Universal Standards and is aligned with the Communication on Progress (CoP) framework of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). The objective of the Report is to disclose additional sustainability-related information based on voluntary reporting standards, as a good practice to further enhance transparency and to support the continuous improvement of the Group's performance in ESG ratings.
