PPC Group has received a significant upgrade from global index provider MSCI, with its ESG rating rising to “A” from “BBB.” The upgrade reflects the Group’s consistent progress in sustainability performance and strengthens its position in the evolving energy landscape.
This improvement confirms the recognition of PPC Group’s ongoing progress in ESG performance, as well as the alignment of its strategy with international sustainability standards.
MSCI is a leading global provider of data, analytics, and indices based on extensive research and advanced technology. Its benchmarks set standards for global investors, helping them assess risks and opportunities, make better-informed decisions, and drive innovation across markets.
According to MSCI’s report, the upgrade of PPC Group’s ESG rating is attributed to improved performance in key areas:
- Water and toxic waste management, with lower exposure to the related risks compared to peer companies in the sector.
- Renewable energy portfolio expansion, through increased installed capacity in renewables and the gradual decommissioning of high-emission units, reinforcing the company’s competitive position in the transition to clean energy
- Corporate governance, where PPC demonstrated stronger performance compared to most international peers, due to the independent oversight of management by a Board of Directors composed predominantly of independent and non-executive members
PPC Group continues to advance its green and digital transformation, investing in clean technologies and innovative energy solutions while strengthening its presence in Greece and Southeast Europe. With a firm commitment to transparency, sustainable growth, and value creation for society and the economy, PPC Group actively contributes to accelerating the energy transition across the regions where it operates.
