The Sustainability Performance Directory's objective is to create a Business Indicator for Sustainable Development. It supports Greek companies in responding to the new landscape created by the regulatory framework presently in force, taking into account the disclosure of non-financial information arising from their business activity for securing more favourable financing from Banks and Investors, for their integration into Responsible Networks of Suppliers, and for labelling sustainable companies so they gain recognition from consumers.
