Social Profile(s)
Responsibility towards the environment, the society and the human being
Attiki Odos motorway operates with the aim to upgrade the quality of life of us all, contributing benefits to the Environment, the Society and the Human Being.
Environment
- Flora and fauna
More than 1,000,000 plants were planted, the landscape in the cut & cover sections was restored, the "green zones" of the motorway were enriched while the local fauna was protected. The green areas are maintained on a daily basis by specialised personnel.
- Flood protection
The drainage and flood protection works realised during the construction phase of the project contribute to the flood protection of the capital.
- Reforestation and Regeneration of Quarries
Thanks to the morphological and environmental regeneration of old quarries, new green areas have been created.
- Recycling
All waste materials by the operation of the offices and the operation of the motorway itself are given for recycling.
- Limitation of air pollution / noise pollution
The decongestion of the central road axles has resulted in the limitation of air pollution while special noise barriers and acoustic zones protect against noise pollution.
Society and Culture
- Contribution to road safety
With the belief that road safety is a matter of education, Attiki Odos organises educational activities while it supports similar actions and collaborations. The activities include:
- Annual campaigns for road safety
- Distribution of informative / educational leaflets and material which relate to road safety
- Collaborations with Entities and Institutes for Road Safety
- Collaborations with University Institutions and sponsorship of conferences
- Educational programmes for adults and children, such as meetings, educational presentations for children, interactive programmes in schools, educational theatrical play which more than 19,000 children have attended.
- Contribution to local society / Sports and recreation facilities
The best use of urban cut & cover sections into sports and recreation facilities smoothly incorporates the motorway into the built-up and natural environment.
- Support to the Municipal Cultural Activity
Within the framework of collaboration with the Municipalities of Attica, Attiki Odos supports various municipal festivals.
- Creation of Archaeological Museum
The greatest excavation ever performed in the Attica basin brought to light a big variety of findings which were handed over to the archaeological authority.
- Contribution to scientific research
The publication of the old maps of Johann August Kaupert constitutes significant contribution to the historical study of road networks of Attica, since it is a useful tool for the study of the old road network of Athens.
Employees
- Job positions
For the construction of Attiki Odos approximately 5,000 employees of various specialties were occupied while the operation of the project created approximately 1,200 new job positions.
- Safety at work
The minimisation of accidents at work is the result of successful personnel training.
- Medical care for the employees / Blood donation
The Occupational Health Department provides medical care and monitoring of the employees’ health condition and following the Department’s initiative the employees are encouraged to voluntary regular blood donations.
