At Circet Hellas, responsibility is not just a word — it’s our everyday mindset. We are committed to operating with respect for the environment, care for society, and transparency in everything we do.

Circet’s ESG strategy is built on four key commitments that guide our actions and address the most important issues for our company and its internal and external stakeholders.

Care for our workforce

We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and safe. That’s why our first ESG commitment is the care and well-being of our workforce and partners.

Goals

  • Achieve a minimum of 30% women in senior management positions across the Group by 2030.
  • Reduce the severity rate of workplace accidents by 5% each year.

 

Act locally

At Circet Hellas, we don’t just provide services — we make a meaningful contribution to the lives of people around us.

  • We deliver high-quality solutions to thousands of households and businesses through reliable and modern infrastructure.
  • We create employment opportunities, train young professionals, and support those who face challenges entering the job market.
  • We stand by our community through corporate volunteering initiatives that offer genuine support and make a positive impact.

 

We stand by society through actions

At Circet Hellas, we actively support causes that matter — not just with words, but with actions. As part of the Circet4Communities initiative, our team embraces volunteering as a core value of our corporate culture.

Since joining the Circet4Communities program, we have carried out meaningful initiatives aimed at giving back to society and supporting those in need. In 2024, we proudly participated in the following actions:

  • Race for the Cure with Alma Zois, raising awareness about breast cancer
  • Human Meals with Equal Society, contributing to the fight against food insecurity
  • Beach cleanup at Zouberi Beach, in collaboration with Helmepa, protecting the marine environment

Driven by our people and inspired by purpose, we remain committed to expanding our positive impact on the community with every initiative.

 

Responsible of the environment

At Circet Hellas, we believe that sustainability is not just theory — it’s action. Every day, we work to reduce our environmental footprint and promote a greener, more responsible way of operating.

Our key goals:

  • Less fossil fuel use – more green energy
  • Pollution reduction and proper waste management
  • Sustainable mobility in every country by 2025
  • Efficient use of equipment and natural resources

All our initiatives are based on measurable targets aligned with the Science Based Targets (SBTi) initiative, ensuring our active contribution to global climate goals.

What We Aim to Achieve by 2030

Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring that our actions are aligned with global climate goals.

  • 42% reduction in direct and indirect emissions related to energy consumption (Scope 1 & 2)
  • 25% reduction in indirect emissions related to the purchase of goods and services, as well as emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities (Scope 3)
  • 44% of our suppliers committed to the SBTi by 2028

Our approach is holistic — from the energy we consume to our supplier collaborations and the adoption of green practices at every level.

 

Compliance & Integrity – The Way We Operate

At Circet Hellas, success is measured not only by what we achieve, but by how we achieve it.

Integrity, transparency, and accountability are values that guide our every step.

Compliance is not just a policy — it’s a mindset that defines how we collaborate, make decisions, and operate every day. We work to maintain a fair, trustworthy, and ethical business environment for everyone.

What this means in practice:

  • We fight corruption and any unfair practices
  • We protect personal data with the utmost respect
  • We uphold human rights throughout our supply chain
  • We integrate Corporate Social Responsibility into every aspect of our business

Our goals:

  • 100% of our employees trained on anti-corruption every two years
  • Protection of employees’ and customers’ personal data
  • Full integration of Corporate Social Responsibility across all areas of our business, ensuring respect for human rights throughout our supply chain.

Anti-corruption code of conduct

Our comprehensive Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct, which applies to every Circet employee, clearly defines acceptable and unacceptable behavior. The Code has been translated into all company languages and is regularly distributed to our teams. It provides clear guidelines on how to report suspected cases of corruption, as part of our zero-tolerance policy toward unethical conduct.

Whistleblowing platform

To create a safe space for reporting concerns, we have established a confidential reporting platform accessible from all Circet websites. This platform allows anyone — employees, partners, or other stakeholders — to report inappropriate, fraudulent, or illegal behavior anonymously and at any time. We take every report seriously and ensure that all concerns are addressed promptly and thoroughly.

Competition Law Compliance Guide

Circet is committed to being a trusted partner for all its stakeholders. The Competition Law Compliance Guide outlines the anti-competitive practices that employees must be aware of to ensure adherence to applicable regulations. This guide is essential for maintaining a fair and competitive business environment and for protecting the integrity of our operations.
