For Quest Group, sustainability is not a distinct initiative; it is a way of operating. It permeates every aspect of its business, from investments and technology to the daily operations of its 14 companies, which employ 3,500 people and are active in 30 countries, with consolidated sales of \u20ac1.47 billion in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Group is systematically implementing its ESG 2025\u20132030+ strategy, which is organized around four pillars: Environment and Climate Change, Human Resources, Responsible Entrepreneurship, and Sustainable Products and Services. In 2025, it made steady progress on all annual targets that it has set and is monitoring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Environment and Climate Change: Targeted actions for a smaller footprint<\/h2>\n

Quest Group reduced absolute emissions from its own activities (Scope 1 & 2) by 24% compared to the base year 2022 – the result of combined interventions such as: reducing fuel consumption, implementing optimal energy efficiency systems and purchasing green certificates for renewable electricity, as well as new investments in photovoltaic systems and electric charging points at its facilities. At the end of 2025, 63% of the vehicle fleet is now hybrid or electric. At the same time, Scope 3 emissions are measured on an annual basis throughout the supply chain of its companies, with the aim of reducing any negative footprint. Also, an important environmental goal is the effective management of electrical waste. The Group is also strengthening the circular economy model, where in 2025, through take-back programs, more than 8,600 used devices were returned, while ACS, in collaboration with APPLIANCE RECYCLING S.A., contributed to the collection of 18 tons of electrical waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Employees: Investment in training, AI skills and inclusion<\/h2>\n

Investing in its human capital remains a constant priority for the Group. In 2025, the average training amounted to more than 18 hours per employee, with an emphasis on digital skills and artificial intelligence. 36 employees graduated from the Quest Group mini MBA in its 6th cycle, while 161 executives were selected for the Group Talent Program.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, the Group is accelerating its equality and inclusion initiatives through its participation in the UN Women\u2019s Empowerment Principles (WEPs). It created the Better Together program, which focuses on supporting women in the Group, through specialized training programs. In 2025, the new ALLYship program was also launched, where Group employees voluntarily collaborate to establish a participatory culture that promotes diversity and inclusion with tangible results. The Group places particular importance on the health and safety of its employees and five subsidiaries have ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety, while the Armonia wellness program actively supports the mental and physical health of employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Responsible entrepreneurship: Transparency and accountability<\/h2>\n

The integration of ESG criteria into governance is a structural element of Quest Group\u2019s operations. 15% of the variable remuneration of the Managing Directors is directly linked to the achievement of ESG objectives. In 2025, zero incidents of serious data breaches were recorded in the Group\u2019s systems, a result of systematic investment in cybersecurity and the training of all employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

The responsible integration of the Group\u2019s ESG strategy into its operations has also received external recognition. For 2025, the Group\u2019s Sustainability Report was published for the second year in compliance with the European ESRS standards and received independent external assurance. Two of its companies, Info Quest Technologies and ACS, received a Silver rating from EcoVadis, one of the most recognized international rating bodies for sustainable value chains, while Quest Holdings was included for the second consecutive year in the FTSE4Good Emerging Markets index, as one of 14 Greek companies that meet its strict ESG criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainable products: Positive footprint as a competitive advantage<\/h2>\n

In 2025, over 13% of the Group’s revenues come from products and services with a positive environmental and social impact \u2014 the ESG target is to steadily increase this percentage beyond 10% by 2030. The Group’s companies systematically strengthen their portfolio with solutions and services that help their customers to reduce their own carbon footprint. Indicative examples are ACS\u2019s Smartpoint Lockers and electric-powered deliveries, Uni Systems\u2019 cloud solutions, Info Quest Technologies\u2019 electric mobility and energy storage products, and the energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions of air conditioning companies Clima Quest and G.E. Dimitriou.<\/span><\/p>\n

Responsible long-term growth<\/h2>\n

With EBITDA of \u20ac107 million and net profit after tax of \u20ac52.4 million in 2025, Quest Group proves that sustainability and profitability are not contradictory, but mutually reinforcing. The long-term commitment to responsible entrepreneurship remains a firm position of the Group and continues as a signatory member of the UN Global Compact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quest Group moves forward into the future, committed to its development and the continuous improvement of its ESG performance, with the aim of creating long-term value for shareholders, employees, the market and society.<\/span><\/p>\n
