Caring for the environment and the human being is an integral part of the philosophy of FINOBETON S.A. The company assumes its corporate responsibility by fully complying its activities with the applicable environmental legislation.
For this purpose the company implements an environmental management system according to ISO 14001:2015 international standard.
Additionally, within 2023 FINOBETON S.A. proceeds with the installation of 2 photovoltaic plants with the aim of producing electricity from solar radiation, using net metering mechanism with HEDNO (Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator S.A.).
With the operation of the photovoltaic plants, in addition to the reduction of energy costs, the company also implements its strategy for sustainable development by covering most of its energy needs from renewable energy sources.

- Has implemented tree planting in the production plant, endeavouring at improving the aesthetics and adaptation to the surrounding area, as well as, in the area of its privately-owned marble quarry, aiming at their complete restoration and regeneration, contributing, this way, to the environmental sustainability.
The application of effective management systems and systemic control programs, the proper maintenance and renewal of fixed and mobile equipment, and the use of preventive measures and hygiene and safety rules, contribute to the protection of both the company’s workforce and the local communities in which it operates.
