Corporate Governance Code

In complying with Article 17 of Law 4706/2020, the Company’s Board of Directors decided on 15 July 2021 to adopt and implement the Hellenic Corporate Governance Code 2021 issued by the Hellenic Corporate Governance Council (HCGC). The purpose of the Corporate Governance Code, which draws experience from European and international best practices, always bearing in mind the characteristics of Greek business and the Greek stock exchange market, is to promote good governance in the belief that it will bolster the Company’s long-term success and competitiveness. Implementation of the Code should be treated by the Company or its investors as a process which adds value to the enterprise and not as a mere compliance exercise. The text of the aforementioned Code is available at the following link https://www.esed.org.gr/en/code-listed. Any justified deviations from the Code must be expressly referred to in the Company’s Annual Corporate Governance Statement which forms part of its Annual Financial Report.
