Of this amount, €334 million was allocated to contractors and suppliers, €63 million to employee wages and benefits, and €14 million was paid in taxes and mining royalties to the Greek State, of which €5.1 million was directly allocated to the Municipality of Aristotelis through mining royalties arising from 2023 activities, thus substantially strengthening public revenues and the region’s development potential.

During the same year, 33,291 hours of training were conducted and €2.6 million were invested in Health and Safety programs, achieving a 30% reduction in the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR).

The sustainability strategy of Hellenic Gold is based on active collaboration and consultation with local communities and the implementation of initiatives that create long-term social value. In 2024, 137 social investment actions were carried out, totaling €2.5 million, which represents a 43% increase compared to the previous year. These actions focused on sectors such as education, infrastructure, and social welfare.
Regarding environmental management, in 2024 Hellenic Gold invested a total of €6.7 million in environmental activities, undertaking significant initiatives for environmental restoration and further reduction of its environmental footprint through limiting the consumption of natural resources such as water. A total of 1,115 new trees were planted, water recycling increased by 19.8% compared to 2023, and 288,000 tons of historical waste from previous mine owners were safely removed. Through these targeted actions, the company demonstrates that responsible mining operations can successfully combine efficiency with respect for the environment.
