Helleniq Energy CSR initiatives continue
Entities: Thessaloniki · Lazaros Kyrizoglou · Lazaro Kyrizoglu · Ampelokipon‑Menenes Municipality · Park of Senses
Overview
Helleniq Energy’s CSR programme progressed through July 2026. After launching women‑empowerment centres in Athens, Thessaloniki and Komotini, the company opened the “Park of the Senses” in western Thessaloniki’s Ampelokipon‑Menenes district. More than 100 employees and their families helped plant trees, aromatic plants and herbs, renovating the public green space. The new vegetation is projected to capture about 225 kg of CO₂ in its first year and up to 7.9 tonnes over ten years, while lowering summer temperatures by 3‑6 °C and improving air quality. Municipal officials, including Mayor Lazaro Kyrizoglu, highlighted the park’s contribution to daily life and urban biodiversity. Together, the empowerment centres and the park illustrate Helleniq Energy’s ongoing commitment to social inclusion and environmental sustainability across Greek cities.
