Sustainability

Growthfund actively stands for and promotes the transition to a regenerative, just and green economy, with emphasis on the protection of the environment and biodiversity, while building social value. Our ambition as the National Fund of Greece is to develop a world-class sustainable development and ESG strategy, as tangible evidence for the responsible management of our public assets and investments. With the input of independent expert consulting partners, we create and implement a roadmap for integrating ESG into the operation of our SOEs and shareholding participations, creating value for the economy, citizens and the environment equally, through ESG strategy. At Growthfund we work on three levels:

  • We lay the foundations of the ESG approach, with policies and reports.
  • We address ESG and sustainable development as part of the transformation of our portfolio companies.
  • We create quick wins and a positive contribution, with an emphasis on citizens.

At the same time, we create the appropriate framework to exercise our investment role through sustainable investments. Our new investments will include a corresponding framework of due diligence and ESG criteria and policies. Our goal is for the entire Growthfund portfolio, existing and new, to follow the philosophy of sustainable development.
