Three Gold Awards for PCT S.A. at the Hellenic Responsible Business Awards 2025

PCT S.A. (Piraeus Container Terminal S.A.), a member of COSCO Shipping Ports Group, having completed 15 years of successful presence and operation, continues to invest in a landmark program exceeding €600 million, creating over 2,500 direct employment positions and strengthening the country’s economic and social prosperity.
PCT received three Gold Awards at the Hellenic Responsible Business Awards 2025, held on Tuesday, October 14, under the auspices of the Ministry of Development, the Ministry of Environment and Energy, SEV-BIAN, and SETE, and with broad institutional support—confirming its steadfast commitment to sustainability, innovation, and safety.
The company was awarded two Gold Awards for its Decarbonization Strategy in the categories “ESG Strategy” and “Business Transformation & Sustainable Development”, while the third gold award was granted for the Microclimate Forecasting Network in the “Sustainable Technology” category.
PCT’s Decarbonization Strategy is based on real data and scientific tools, such as the Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) analysis, which enables the evaluation of each action according to cost, environmental benefit, and strategic prioritization. This approach allows the company to accurately identify which measures deliver the greatest impact in line with its dynamic business targets—already achieving a 36% reduction in emissions compared to the 2022 baseline year.
The SMART Microclimate Forecasting Network, comprising 28 meteorological stations that leverage Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, enhances resilience and safety in the workplace by providing real-time forecasts and timely alerts on microclimate conditions.
Nina Argyropoulou, Deputy Manager, Public Relations & Sustainability Department at PCT, stated upon receiving the awards: “Every step brings us closer to a meaningful goal: to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future, supporting the transformation and preservation of the Port of Piraeus as a leading maritime gateway to the Mediterranean and Europe.”
Through the recognition of best practices and innovative strategies, the Hellenic Responsible Business Awards highlight the power of collaboration and sustainable growth as drivers of progress. With these distinctions, PCT reaffirms its commitment to sustainable operations and innovation, emerging as a model for ESG implementation in port infrastructure, and contributing actively to establishing Piraeus as the Smart & Green Maritime Hub of the Mediterranean.
