Our Commitment to ESG

At NORDIA, we are dedicated to sustainable and responsible business practices, firmly rooted in our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Our ESG strategy is integral to our operations, ensuring that we not only deliver exceptional products but also contribute positively to the communities and environments in which we operate.

Environmental Stewardship

We recognize the importance of protecting our planet for future generations. Our environmental initiatives focus on:

• Sustainable Quarrying: Employing advanced techniques and technologies to minimize environmental impact, reduce waste, and preserve natural landscapes.

• Resource Efficiency: Continuously improving our processes to enhance energy efficiency, reduce water usage, and lower our carbon footprint.

• Rehabilitation and Restoration: Committing to the rehabilitation of quarry sites post-extraction, transforming them into green spaces or other beneficial uses.

• Implementation of anti-corrosion & flood control works over an area of 2,000,000 m²: The unprecedented catastrophic wildfires that devasted Greece in August 2021 have deserted millions of acres in several parts of the country. Feeling the urge to protect nature and help it recover, NORDIA has taken over the flood defense and soil anticorrosion works in Varybombi - Tatoi. The works lasted for a period of three months and the quality of the work received kudos by the Greek State representatives.

• Reforestation works over an area of 200.000 m²: Committed to our goal to assist the nature to overcome the catastrophe we have organized and completed 4 open to the public reforestation days on the mountain of Penteli. We have planted more than 2.000 trees. Our initiative was embraced by volunteers of all ages, making sure that the burnt land was resurrected and hope for a green and auspicious environment was born again. Of course our collective action does not stop here. We also take care of the irrigation of the plants and make sure that our effort is successful

Social Responsibility

We believe in the power of community and the importance of social well-being. Our social responsibility efforts include:

• Community Engagement: Building strong relationships with local communities, supporting education, healthcare, infrastructure development projects, and funding community service efforts, such as reforestations.

• Employee Welfare: Ensuring a safe, inclusive, and supportive work environment for our employees, providing opportunities for growth and development.

• Ethical Practices: Upholding the highest standards of labor practices, human rights, and fair treatment across our supply chain.

Governance Excellence

Strong governance is the foundation of our long-term success. Our governance framework focuses on:

• Transparency and Accountability: Maintaining open communication with stakeholders and adhering to rigorous reporting standards to ensure transparency in our operations.

• Ethical Leadership: Promoting integrity and ethical behavior at all levels of the organization, guided by a robust code of conduct.

• Risk Management: Proactively identifying and managing risks to protect our business, employees, and stakeholders.

By integrating ESG principles into our core business strategies, we strive to create lasting value for our customers, employees, communities, and the environment. At NORDIA, we are committed to building a sustainable future, one marble block at a time
