Intrakat’s strong commitment to implementing sustainable practices across its entire range of activities is highlighted in the 2023 Sustainability Report, which was prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), reflecting progress and measurable changes implemented by the Group in each of the Sustainable Development (ESG) pillars during the past year.
On the occasion of the publication of the sustainability report, the vice-president of the Board of Directors and managing director of Intrakat, Alexandros Exarchou, stated: “At the Intrakat Group, sustainable development is a fundamental value and a pillar of our strategy. We adopt solutions aimed at protecting the environment and promoting social well-being. We aim to strengthen the national economy and improve the quality of life, through the implementation of infrastructure, energy, communications, transport networks and building projects that serve the needs of users and society as a whole.”
