The global non-profit environmental organization CDP upgraded PPC Group by three notches, from “D” to “B-”, in the Water Security theme, while maintaining the “B” grade in the Climate Change category. At the same time, the Group received an “A” score in CDP’s Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA). This international distinction concerns the active cooperation the Group has with its suppliers and the degree of their mobilization and involvement in climate change issues and the reduction of indirect emissions in the value chain (Scope 3).
As noted in the relevant announcement, the improved assessments of PPC Group by CDP reflect the Group’s continuous progress in integrating sustainability criteria into its strategy and operations, while at the same time strengthening the confidence of investors and other stakeholders.
The maintenance of the “B” score in Climate Change confirms the consistency of PPC Group in enhancing the quality and completeness of its disclosures, within an assessment framework that becomes more demanding every year, with an increasing number of companies in the sector participating in the CDP process.
At the same time, the significant three-notch upgrade in the Water Security theme, from “D” to “B-”, reflects the Group’s progress in water resource management, the assessment of related risks and opportunities, as well as the systematic strengthening of monitoring and data disclosure processes.
The inclusion of PPC Group in the “A List” of the Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) recognizes the systematic integration of sustainability criteria into supply chain management and cooperation with suppliers to reduce indirect emissions (Scope 3).

Since its establishment in 2000, CDP has collected and evaluated data on the environmental impacts caused globally by businesses and states in the areas of climate change, forests, and water management, constituting the largest environmental database in the world.
