HELLENIC DAIRIES SA is a family business of 3rd generation that operates in the dairy sector, continuing its uninterrupted operation and contribution to the Greek economy and to the primary production. It is present not only in the Greek market but also in 47 foreign countries. The deep and firm belief that behind every good there is something even better and the stable and consistent philosophy to produce safe and quality products has resulted in the use of high-quality raw materials, ensuring the quality and the safety. These two factors are placed to the top of our priorities. The development of new innovative products constitutes an important role. Combining the excellent raw materials, the high technology, the strict hygiene and safety in the production and the passion of its 800 workers, the company offers a full range of dairy products with the authentic traditional taste that has captured the consumers' heart. At the same time, for the HELLENIC DAIRIES SA, the Corporate Social Responsibility constitutes a part of a long-term strategy. Precisely, it is the only dairy company in Southeast Europe that has installed an integrated waste treatment plant including a biogas plant. More specifically, the installation of the biogas plant is an innovative investment, unique in Europe in the dairy sector, valued at 10 million euros. It aims at the efficient treatment of all liquid waste coming from the production activities of the plant. This project-based on the production of green energy shows our corporate responsibility towards the environment and society. By reducing the waste, the conventional energy, the carbon dioxide, and the pollution, we contribute to the overall effort for a better quality of life dedicated to future generations. HELLENIC DAIRIES SA remains faithful to its values, designs, invests and innovates. Its intention is sustainable growth, bringing value to its shareholders, employees, suppliers, customers, and consumers.
