Three modern fire engines were recently donated by HELLENiQ ENERGY to the Association of Municipalities for the Protection and Redevelopment of Pentelikos (S.P.A.P.).
The official handover took place at Kifissia City Hall, marking yet another targeted corporate responsibility action with immediate and lasting impact. This initiative is not just a donation. It is an investment in the future, protection of the environment and strengthening of social cohesion, through cooperation with local government agencies.
6 reasons that make this action essential
The strengthening of the S.P.A.P. of the three new fire trucks takes place in multiple levels:
- Increasing operational readiness
- Faster response to emergencies
- Prevention and patrols during the critical summer months
- Immediate detection and response to fire hazards
- Support of regeneration works
- Transport of water and restoration materials
Responsibility becomes commitment
During the ceremony, The CEO of HELLENiQ ENERGY, Andreas Siamisii, said: “HELLENiQ ENERGY has always stood by the State in critical moments. We supported civil protection actions, or direct interventions in specific areas where natural disasters had to be dealt with. Our new initiative to donate the three fire engines, was done recognizing the importance of Mount Pentelikos as one of the most important green lungs of the capital. The need for its protection and regeneration is imperative and is an investment in the future and in the quality of life of the millions of residents of the Basin”.
The President of S.P.A.P. and Mayor of Kifissia, Vassilis Xipolytas, stated: “HELLENiQ ENERGY’s initiative to donate three modern fire engines to S.P.A.P. is an act of high symbolism and substantial social contribution. The protection of the environment and human life is not the responsibility of the state or local government alone, but a common obligation of all of us. This specific donation essentially strengthens the operational readiness of the Association’s member municipalities, facilitating their faster and more effective response to crisis situations. At the same time, it highlights in the clearest way how responsible corporate action can leave a tangible and lasting positive imprint on society. I express my warm thanks to HELLENiQ ENERGY for its constant support and for the consistency with which it proves that corporate responsibility can be turned into an act of real contribution to society and the environment.”
Investment in the environment, investment in the future
The donation of the three fire engines to S.P.A.P. it is not an individual energy, but part of HELLENiQ ENERGY’s long-term strategy for sustainable development, with an emphasis on prevention. Strengthening civil protection and supporting critical infrastructure in high-risk areas are key axes of the company’s environmental policy.
Mount Penteliko is one of the most valuable ecosystems of Attica, but also extremely vulnerable. The need for rapid intervention in cases of fire, but also for continuous surveillance and restoration of forest wealth, is more urgent than ever. The new vehicles will substantially enhance the Association’s role, giving it the necessary means to protect and regenerate the region.
HELLENiQ ENERGY continues to prove that corporate development can – and must – go hand in hand with respect for the environment and the support of society. With an emphasis on action rather than theory, the company invests in solutions that leave a positive and measurable impact.
