The Hellenic Healthcare Group (HHG) was awarded, for the second consecutive year, the Silver Award by EcoVadis, the world's leading corporate sustainability assessment organization, for its socially responsible practices on responsible business, sustainability and sustainable development issues.

The HHG Group, which serves as an example for Greek business, always stands by people, providing leading, innovative medical services, advanced methods of diagnosis and treatment, while at the same time designing and implementing initiatives that contribute in a catalytic way to the sustainable development of the country. In fact, this award proves that HHG Group's corporate social responsibility activities go beyond the Greek borders, placing it among the top 10% of the world's leading companies in healthcare services.

The EcoVadis rating system (CSR Rating) refers to the evaluation of the quality of a company's Corporate Social Responsibility management systems, through its policies, practices and results. The assessment uses 21 criteria, which are based on international standards such as the Global Compact Principles , the conditions of the International Labor Organization, the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards) and the standard ISO 26000 among others. In particular, these criteria are grouped into four thematic areas: environment, labor practices and human rights, good business practices and sustainable procurement.

For Hellenic Healthcare Group, sustainable development is not just another goal, but is a fundamental part of the Group's philosophy and DNA, believing that the true evolution of a company or an organization can only be achieved when it aims at the development and evolution of the society in which it operates. In this direction, HHG Group stands by those who trust it and continues to build an inclusive future, while caring for society and the environment.
