• Higher score than the industry average and further rise of PPC in the S&P Global ranking
• CSA Score: 50 points from 42 in the previous year
• S&P Global ESG Score: 51 points from 44 in 2024
• S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment: one of the most widely recognized international sustainability assessment processes – participation of more than 12,000 companies worldwide
PPC Group recorded a significant new improvement in the global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) of S&P Global, further strengthening its position among energy sector companies internationally.
In the 2025 assessment, PPC’s score in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) increased to 50 points, from 42 in the previous year and 25 in 2023, while its ESG score reached 51 points, from 44 in 2024 and 37 in 2023
PPC’s new upgrade by S&P Global is mainly attributed to the Group’s improved evaluation in environmental matters (such as the management of GHG emissions, energy consumption, water and waste management), social issues (including human resources, health and safety, diversity, relations with local communities, customers and suppliers), as well as governance matters (among others focusing on business ethics, risk management and cybersecurity). It is worth noting that the S&P Global CSA assessment does not assign the same weight to all thematic areas for participating companies, as the indicators are industry specific.
The Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) of S&P Global is one of the most widely recognized international processes for assessing corporate sustainability. It evaluates thousands of companies worldwide, examining how sustainable development is integrated into each organization’s business model and strategy. Through a set of economic, environmental and social criteria, the CSA provides a structured framework for assessing and comparing corporate performance and serves as an important reference point for investors who incorporate ESG criteria into their decision-making.
For PPC, the assessment placed greater emphasis on commitments to international initiatives such as the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), as well as on the development of new sustainable and innovative products and services that respond to the needs and expectations of consumers.
PPC Group’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Mr. Achilleas Ioakeimidis, stated: “This new upgrade from S&P Global highlights the progress of PPC Group in integrating the principles of sustainable development across the full range of its activities, as well as in transparency regarding key issues and priorities that lie at the core of the Group’s transformation into a modern energy and technology Group with a positive impact on the economy, society and the environment.”
Green investments with sustainability at the core of the strategy
In recent years, PPC has been steadily implementing its transformation, with a strategic direction focused on sustainable development and energy transition. Within the framework of its updated Strategic Plan for the period 2026–2028, the Group is accelerating investments in renewable energy sources, flexible generation and modern energy infrastructure, while also strengthening the use of innovative technologies across the full spectrum of its activities.
With a focus on the development of renewable energy sources (RES) and full lignite phase-out in 2026, PPC aims to significantly reduce its environmental footprint and strengthen the resilience of the energy system. At the same time, it invests in network modernization and in providing new value-added solutions for customers, supporting electrification and the digital transition.
PPC’s objective is to create shared value for the economy and society, considering the needs of all stakeholders while contributing substantially to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
