For Attiki Odos, fully integrating the principles of sustainability into the core of its activities is a strategic choice and the safest path to a better future. In this context, respect for the environment and the implementation of methods to minimize environmental impact are an important parameter in every manifestation of the project.

It is also characteristic that literally the last grain of greenery on the highway has been used, specialized personnel are working on a permanent basis, caring for 800,000 trees and shrubs and 78,000 sq.m. lawn.

Responsible for the environment

In 2022 Attiki Odos S.A. and Attic Routes SA, the companies behind the project, reduced overall fuel oil consumption and GC operation by 16% year-on-year, while 8,190 kg of plastic, 1,200 kg of tires and 23,910 kg of iron were recycled. .

In addition, in order to reduce noise on the route, an appropriate study was carried out and anti-noise measures were applied depending on the terrain and the needs of each area. In 2022, 127 daily measurements were taken with mobile noise measurement units, and a total of 20 km of sound curtains were installed over these years.

Caring for local fauna and homeless animals

In order to protect the local fauna, the sound curtains have special stickers based on international standards to prevent them from bumping into these passing birds. Both companies are partnering with the ANIMA Wildlife Protection and Care Association to take care of wild animals and birds that happen to be on the highway. In addition, over the years they have collaborated with the Hellenic Benevolent Society to support the organization in the collection and protection of stray and abandoned animals, the treatment of injured animals, and the care of their neutering and adoption.

Attiki Odos will continue to coexist in harmony with the environment and develop steadily in line with the principles of sustainable development.
