Report for the Educational/Academic Year 2023-2024

For the educational/academic year 2023 - 2024, over 700 children and young people from Athens, Agrinio, Lamia and Grevena got to know the world of environmental sustainability, green energy and circular economy through experiential activities. Students from Grevena and Edessa visited the wind farms "Monastiri 2" and "Zoodohos Pigi", where, with the help of Principia's engineers, they got to know the operation of wind turbines up close and learned how wind is converted into energy. In addition, Principia organized a special educational action at the "Zoodohos Pigi" park on the occasion of Global Wind Day on June 15. In collaboration with the Hellenic Wind Energy Association (HWEA), the wind farm was transformed into an original "knowledge center" for children and young Scouts. Finally, at the Martino wind farm, in Fthiotida, Principia welcomed students from the Special Laboratory of Vocational Education and Training in Lamia, offering them an experiential and entertaining acquaintance with modern energy production technologies from RES.

To conduct Energy On The Go, Principia employees voluntarily support the program and contribute their knowledge and experience to inform and raise awareness among participants on sustainability and green energy issues.

The company's social initiatives are fully aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
