The Piraeus Port Authority S.A. (PPA S.A.) received a distinction from the QualityNet Foundation for the fourth consecutive year as one of the most sustainable companies in Greece. This recognition is based on the annual evaluation of its performance across the three pillars of ESG — Environment, Society, and Corporate Governance.

ESG principles are not, as the company emphasized, an abstract concept, but a central part of its business strategy and long-term development.

In 2024, the company launched major initiatives to cut its environmental footprint and mitigate climate change impacts as part of its ESG commitments.

At the same time, it consistently implements a coherent program of social responsibility actions, focusing on strengthening the local community, promoting inclusion and empowering its human resources.

In corporate governance, PPA S.A. operates, as it noted, in terms of transparency and accountability, following the best practices of good governance and regulatory compliance.

The CEO of PPA S.A., Su Xudong, expressed his particular satisfaction for the company’s recognition, for the fourth consecutive year, among the most sustainable companies in the country.

As he pointed out, this new distinction reflects the consistency and commitment of PPA S.A. in implementing a modern development model that combines environmental responsibility, social concern and sound corporate governance.

These principles underpin the company’s strategic decisions and guide the long-term development of the port of Piraeus.
