Last Sunday, as part of our ongoing support for the centre, the ERMA FIRST team visited the Etairia Prostasias Anilikon Pirea (Society for the Protection of Minors of Piraeus) for a community fun day and BBQ. Sustainability and having fun were the priorities for the day; in addition to seeing the new playground at the centre, we hosted a sustainable gardening workshop in collaboration with Open Farm and helped to plant a vegetable patch and garden for the children to enjoy.

This past weekend, teams from ERMA FIRST and Environmental Protection Engineering S.A., along with their families, came together to plant more than 250 trees on #Mount #Ymittos on the side of #Argyroupoli as part of our last #CSR initiative for #2022. It was an incredible day and project to be a part of!

The event was done in #collaboration with Let’s do it Greece, which organises #environmental projects for volunteers all over #Greece. You can find out more about all of their projects here: https://lnkd.in/eMvyZAgm

Reforestation is crucial in the battle against #climatechange, improving the quality of life for local residents and encouraging #biodiversity. ERMA FIRST and @EPE are proud to continue to do our part, working with our #localcommunity for the benefit of our #planet.

This weekend, ERMA FIRST and Environmental Protection Engineering S.A. welcomed the Sea Scouts of Athens and their families to an amazing day of on-shore and at-sea activities.

More than 60 young adventurers got the chance to learn how to sail and paddle in traditional wooden vessels, as well as take part in other nautical activities such as knot tying, map reading and navigation lessons. We also celebrated with an amazing BBQ at the end of the marina to close the festivities.

It was amazing to see so many Sea Scouts take the reins this weekend and join us to learn more about life at sea. We want to thank all those who took part, as well as our colleagues who gave up part of their weekend in order to give back to our community.

This event was the latest part of ERMA FIRST’s CSR strategy as we look to work with local communities to showcase the benefits of keeping our waters safe and clean. We strongly believe in meaningful and impactful #CSR to help change the world for the better. Let’s all continue to empower our local communities with our actions!

Stay tuned as we’ve got more CSR events to come in #2022year!

Today we are thrilled to unveil our new mural in downtown Athens to promote marine sustainability and boost the local community’s sensitivity towards environmental issues.

ERMA FIRST, in collaboration with Environmental Protection Engineering S.A. and HELMEPA – Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, has worked with local artist Atek and supported by elculture’s project ‘Γενιά 17’, to create this stunning seven-storey mural that will have a pride of place for the next two years. This artwork is part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations and designed to be a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.

This street artwork, which depicts the United Nations’ Global SDG 14 – ‘Life below Water’, is the latest part of our CSR strategy, which is based on sustainability, inclusivity and local community. EMRA FIRST strongly believes in meaningful and impactful CSR to help change the world for the better.

We hope local residents and the wider community enjoy this amazing artwork and reflect on the importance of taking care of our oceans. Let’s all get loud and spread the message: #icareaboutthesea.

At ERMA FIRST, we believe in building the future of our community by supporting initiatives that aim to improve the lives of everyone.

Today (20.04) at the ERMA FIRST Headquarters we enjoyed an amazing time together with our employees and their families along with kids from Saint Alexandros Shelter in Palaio Faliro, Athens. The Shelter accommodates girls from the age of six years old, who have faced considerable hardship. The mission of the Shelter is protection, education, as well as professional and social rehabilitation.

All together we had great fun, played games and created Easter candles, which are donated to the Shelter to support their social bazaar, as well as the kids got their Easter gifts! The action was supported the fantastic team of ethelon.

We strongly believe in meaningful and impactful #CSR to help change the world for the better. Let’s all empower our local communities with our actions!

ERMA FIRST Group is passionate about helping our local community. On December 2021, Helen Polychronopoulou, Konstantinos Stampedakis – and a host of ERMA FIRST volunteers – contributed to the refurbishment of the Saint Alexandros Shelter in Palaio Faliro, Athens.

The Shelter accommodates girls from the age of six years old, who have faced considerable hardship. The mission of the Shelter is protection, education, as well as professional and social rehabilitation.

On November 2021, Konstantinos Stampedakis, Helen Polychronopoulou and the ERMA FIRST team took on some reforestation at Mount Ymittos – on the side of Argyroupoli – which was destroyed by fires.

We planted Cypress, Oleander and Pine trees. ERMA FIRST is also delighted to supply 12 months’ worth of water to help them grow.

The ERMA FIRST Group is passionate about preserving all ecosystems. Reforestation is crucial in the battle against climate change, improving the quality of life for local residents and encouraging biodiversity.

Supported by ethelon, we would like to thank everyone who took part!
