Modern companies both around the world and in our country are increasingly including ESG criteria in their development strategies, in line with the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals and the European Union’s goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. In this context, Olympic Brewery is among the companies that have committed themselves not only to take but to continue the necessary ZERO initiatives through the Together to ZERO and Beyond program. In particular, with a long-term plant in 2040 and a medium-term plant in 2030, the company aims to reduce its impact on the environment as a whole through a coordinated and comprehensive program.

In particular, the company’s ESG strategy is based on the principle of “ZERO”, which is implemented through a specific and broad framework of actions aimed at achieving ZERO carbon footprint, ZERO raw material footprint, ZERO packaging footprint, ZERO water consumption, ZERO irresponsible consumption and ZERO accident at enterprises. Job. The above principles demonstrate in tangible action the Olympic Brewery’s commitment to protecting the environment and supporting society itself.

In terms of reducing carbon emissions, among the many process-related actions that lead to the reduction of CO2 emissions and consumption of heat and electricity, the company is partnering with Absolicon to use solar energy in the context of covering energy needs in terms of steam production at its plant. in Sindos.

Two new components of the ESG program contribute to the same direction: ZERO raw material footprint, in terms of sustainable cultivation and processing of raw materials used to protect the climate and biodiversity, and ZERO packaging footprint. which is related to the sustainability of the packaging used for the products. As a result, Olympic Brewery has begun de-inking DraughtMaster barrels in order to improve their recycling methods.

A key component of the Olympic Brewery’s ESG program is zero waste. Therefore, the company optimizes the processes used at every stage of the production of its products, reusing and recycling water where possible. Thus, over the past three years (2019-2022), the company has achieved a reduction in water consumption in the production process at both of its plants by 13%.

Promoting responsible consumption through information and public awareness activities is vital for Olympic Brewery, which promotes low or no alcohol products in the Greek market, engages in targeted partnerships to promote responsible consumption, and communicates about responsible consumption of up to 100% of the packaging of their alcoholic products.

ZERO accidents at work is also an ongoing and top priority as Olympic Brewery implements a comprehensive safety and security program across all of its facilities across the country, coupled with the active participation of its employees. For example, over the past two years (2020-2022), compliance with basic safety rules has increased by 2%, and the number of reports of unsafe behavior has increased by 22%. In the long term, by 2030, the goal is zero accidents.

At the same time, Olympic Brewery strives to systematically promote well-being both locally and broader. In this direction, it is implementing initiatives to support institutions and organizations across the country to protect vulnerable social groups, and the intensive program implemented by FIX Hellas has already completed three important renovations in the capital’s districts.
