All for a Green Ilia

Our company shows its concern for the environment and social issues in practice: the General Manager and Chairman of the Board, Kostas Panagiotopoulos, took part in the tree planting organised by the Prefecture of Ilia on the mountains of Alifeira, burnt in the wildfires of 2007.

Within a few hours the participants planted 2,500 stone pine and Judas trees and sowed oak seeds, under the supervision and guidance of the Amaliada Forestry Office.

Many organisations and individual volunteers – concerned citizens – took part, while Panagiotopoulos Bricks and Roof Tiles S.A. was one of the sponsors that helped make the event happen.

The Prefect of Ilia, Mr Charalambos Kafyras, said: “Many people answered our call. More than 200 people stood by us, and we thank them for volunteering to come and help with our work. Environmental actions will continue both in this area and in other municipalities. We are pleased with this participation. Through these actions our aim is to restore the battered landscape of the areas burnt by the fires.”
