Because for us, creating circular economy solutions is not just our job — it is the foundation upon which the future is built.

Growth only matters when it endures. When it’s sustainable. That is the purpose guiding our every move. We create conditions for development that add value to society and to the future of Greece.
Transparency
Transparency lies at the heart of all our activities. It is the constant in a continuously evolving course. It defines how we operate and how we perceive our role.

We keep raising the bar. That’s the only way to grow, to improve, and to fulfill our mission.

We are building a better future, for the generations to come!
The green transformation of our country requires deep knowledge and understanding of Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance (ESG) principles.
At WATT, we believe that education is a key vehicle for achieving this goal. Through teaching and educational initiatives, we promote environmental responsibility, enhance social awareness, and provide the tools needed to develop sustainable living and development strategies.
Over the years, we have opened the doors of our facilities to schools and organizations, hosting demonstrations and educational activities aimed at raising awareness and instilling valuable knowledge and values in younger generations and the wider public.
