Participation in WWF’s innovative program, "Adopt A Beach"

IASO Group’s “By Your Side” program adopted Agios Kosmas beach, aiming to monitor coastal or marine pollution in order to fight against plastic pollution, with all of us taking the lead! Through our voluntary contribution and recordings, we help collect valuable data on the litter we encounter on our shores, which is very important in fighting plastic pollution and protecting our seas.

#iasoteam carried out 7 actions with 80 volunteers and collected a total of 4,400 findings from Agios Kosmas beach!

Collaboration with Save your Hood

IASO Group, through its Corporate Social Responsibility program "By Your Side" proves its perpetual commitment to protecting the environment in practice, with less waste for us to live a better life.

The aim of the initiative is to build a relationship of trust both with the local community and with society in general, in order to raise awareness, inform and educate the public about environmental issues and more specifically for a clean environment, without garbage.

The health of the planet is closely linked to the citizens’ health. Our life depends on the natural environment and everything that it offers us in every possible way, which we protect and take care of. We must realize the dangers caused by environmental pollution that affects even the existence of humanity on our planet.

Adoption of an area in Chelidonous Stream!

IASO Group’s ‘’By your Side’’ comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility program in collaboration with Save your Hood, adopted their own area in Chelidonous Stream. A breath of green next to the only clear part of Kifissos river that is drowned every day by a large amount of litter.

We pledged to hand over to the next generations a clean area, full of greenery, with nature being the owner and humans being the guests. We don't forget that litter has no place in our home, therefore neither in the environment.

#teamiaso, consisting of 153 volunteers has started its work energetically, contributing to Save Your Hood’s goal! The team has already carried out 18 actions since 2021 and has managed to collect a total of 22.657lt of litter!
