Corporate Social Responsibility 2022
Τhe 2022 Sustainability Report for Euroclinic Group showcases our continuous progress towards and commitment to sustainable development.
As part of our commitment to be environmentally responsible, we undertook new initiatives relating to
sustainable development. We set targets to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy performance in all our Group facilities. We implemented measures to recycle and reduce our waste, while promoting renewable energy sources. We have already achieved a 25% reduction in energy consumption, while we continue to pursue our goal to constantly improve our environmental performance and minimize our environmental footprint. Moreover, we enhanced our planned social responsibility initiatives, by supporting local communities and contributing as much as possible to social prosperity. Our staff and associate physicians volunteered their services, allowing us to bring healthcare services to people with limited access to medical services. In collaboration with NGOs, our dedicated healthcare professionals volunteered their medical services to the residents of remote areas.

Corporate Social Responsibility 2021
It is a great honor and pleasure for us to be presenting you the second Euroclinic Corporate Responsibility Report, which highlights the value we create for everyone – our associates, employees, suppliers and stakeholders – but also our efforts to contribute to addressing crucial social and environmental issues.
In 2021, with the pandemic still posing a threat to our lives, we continued making the health and safety of our people our main priority and we remained on alert, applying strict protocols to protect our staff and patients. We kept our pledge to shape a culture of prevention and safe work conduct, adopted strict rules and procedures, and invested in training and informational campaigns, aiming to raise awareness among staff on workplace health and safety. We also ensured we maintained a meritocratic work environment that promotes mutual respect and offers ongoing professional development opportunities, aiming to become the employer of choice for our staff.

Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019-2020
Over its twenty-three-year course of successful operations, Euroclinic has realized that giving back to society is a critical success factor for the prosperity of our communities. The Group actively works at improving the daily life and health of people, especially amidst the current social and economic crisis the Greek society is experiencing, undertaking social contribution programs and initiatives.
CSR Activities 2020
As part of its dedicated Corporate Social Responsibility program implemented since July 2018, with a focus on initiatives and actions to support childcare facilities for children of all ages, the Euroclinic Children’s Hospital remained true to its commitment, even during the pandemic. The hospital actively supported the immediate need for vaccination of children cared for by the Non-Governmental Organization “The Smile of the Child”. The Euroclinic Children’s Hospital, responding to the needs of the organization during the challenging times of the pandemic, donated 320 vaccines to children in need. Most vaccines were used for refugee and migrant children, up to 2 years old, who lack access to the healthcare system.
The donation of vaccines by the Euroclinic Children’s Hospital is a testimony that we meet valuable allies in our intensive and often strenuous efforts to protect the health of hundreds of children who, due to financial or other difficulties, cannot receive proper medical care. This is an important offer that will support the vaccination of many more children by the Panhellenic Center for Health and Social Care Services of our Organization, which, even in these critical times and despite the difficulties, continues to vaccinate and provide comprehensive medical care to children in need.

The Athens Euroclinic qualified nursing staff participated in the emergency operational campaign of Axion Hellas in collaboration with the National Organization of Public Health (EODY) to perform 794 COVID-19 diagnostic tests (413 antibody tests and 381 molecular ones) on remote and isolated Aegean islands. The trip took place during June 5 -12, 2020, so that all the necessary sampling on Anafi, Koufonisi, Schinoussa, Heraklion, Donoussa, Amorgos, Kinaro, Levitha, Patmos, Agathonisi, Arkios, Lipsi, Pserimos, Tilos, Kastelorizo and Halki could be carried out. Euroclinic will continue to voluntarily provide its medical services, contributing to the endeavor of providing all residents of remote and isolated Greek islands equal access to healthcare.
Euroclinic supports the Athens Municipal Nursery, offering free medical examinations for all its employees. Notably, throughout 2020, the Group offered free complete blood count tests, Pap Smear tests for female employees, PSA tests for male employees, free visits to a dermatologist, otolaryngologist and ophthalmologist to more than 1,000 employees of the Municipality of Athens nurseries, of all specialties and departments. All medical examinations were carried out with the use of the most modern and cutting-edge medical equipment of the Athens Euroclinic by doctors and nursing staff of the highest caliber and expertise.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, the Group has provided the NHS with 10 beds in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an entire wing of the Athens Euroclinic, fully staffed, with a capacity of 20 beds to cover non-COVID-19 cases, as well as the Emergency Department for all patients with non-infectious diseases (such as cardiology, orthopedic cases, etc.), helping improve the availability of beds in the NHS hospitals. It is worth noting that for neurological emergencies, such as strokes that need immediate and urgent treatment, Athens Euroclinic has a dedicated Stroke Unit, which is open 24/7. Depending on the needs of the National Health System, the Group continues to offer its tangible support to this day.
In December 2020, as the Christmas holidays were approching, the staff of the fifth nursing floor of the Athens Euroclinic took the initiative to purchase food for the Social Kitchen group “The Other Person-Social Kitchen”, thus contributing to the efforts to provide food for people in need.
Euroclinic security staff participated twice – in April and December 2020 – in blood drives for the blood bank of the Ippokrateio General Hospital.
Euroclinic further supports the Hellenic Olympic Committee, covering the cost of any diagnostic and medical examinations, as well as hospitalization and surgery (in case of illness or accident) for the athletes participating in the “Adopt an Athlete on the Road to TOKYO” program.
