We currently employ residents from neighbouring municipalities. Τo be precise, 378 individuals from the Thriassion region and 126 from the Western Thessaloniki area.
We also spend around €3 mil. annually on municipal duties and support the local economy through buying goods and services from various businesses in the neighbouring areas where we operate.
Purchases from local suppliers account for 13% for the industrial complexes (HELPE and DIAXON) and 97% for the Group’s marketing companies (not taking into account expenses for purchase &storage of raw material/intermediate products/petroleum products, expenses for water/energy/telephony, and intragroup transactions). For the definition of a local supplier, see indicator G4-EC9 at http://sustainabilityreport2015.helpe.gr/en/operational-efficiency-performance/GRI-G4-point/.
