ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
of the Company
“PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.Α.” with the distinctive title “PPA S.A.”
from 1st January 2025 until 31st December 2025
(In accordance with article 4 par. 2(c) of L. 3556/2007)
On the Financial Statements for the year
from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025
Economic performance, comments on Financial Statements
A.Economic performance
International Trade Conditions
The nature of Company's business activities depends on Greek and international trade, as well as on
external macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. The immediate market of Piraeus port focuses on the
countries of the eastern Mediterranean and thus economic and geopolitical conditions have a key influence
on the volume served. It is further influenced by developments in the global port industry in general, as
well as by the developments of individual port activities, highly interconnected to both PPA's investment
plan and to the level of service provided to port users.
The economic environment in 2025 was highly influenced by the rising unilateral tariffs and geopolitical
tensions. Global tariffs rose in 2025, with manufacturing most affected. Governments are expected to
continue using tariffs in 2026 to pursue industrial and strategic objectives. Global rising tariffs had two
results.
The threat of a trade war between the United States and the EU led to a sharp rise in both imports and,
particularly, exports in Q1 2025. However, in Q2 2025, EU imports fell by 3.2%, while exports declined
more markedly by 6.7%. The downward trend continued in Q3 and Q4 2025, although at a slower pace,
with imports down 1.4% and exports down 0.8% in Q4 2025.This meant that both imports and exports
registered decreases for 3 consecutive quarters.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
In the middle of a turbulent economic environment created by rising trade tariffs and geopolitical
challenges, IMF expects global economy to grow at 3.3% in 2026 at par with 2025. World trade volume
growth is expected to decline from 4.1 percent in 2025 to 2.6 percent in 2026 and increase to 3.1 percent
in 2027
2
. The EU Commission expects World trade volume to decline from 2.8 percent in 2025 to 2.1 percent
in 2026 and increase to 2.7 percent in 2027.
Greek Economy
For the Greek economy, a growth rate is expected, exceeding the Eurozone average, at 2.1% in 2025 and
2.2% in 2026, according to the Commission’s autumn forecasts
3
. In January 2026, imports decreased by
7.4% and exports decreased by 11.9%. Excluding petroleum products and ships, the value of imports fell by
4.7% and exports by 3.6% compared to the corresponding month of 2025
4
. The EU estimates that in 2026
imports will increase by 3.7% and exports by 2.4%.
The geopolitical conditions in the east Mediterranean and middle east continue to affect Piraeus port
volumes. On one hand the closure of the Suez Canal instigated by the turbulence in Israel and subsequent
attacks by Houthis is seized. However, there is still no mass rerouting through Suez as shipping lines are still
testing the durability of the status quo
5
. As a result, volume build up at the Port of Piraeus, which is a key
transshipment hub, is expected to be gradual and can significantly benefit port volumes within 2026.
B. Comments on Financial Statements for the 2025
Revenues
The «Revenues” for the year 2025 amounted to 250.8 million, where compared to the corresponding
year of 2024 increased by 8.6% or € 19.9 million (2024: € 230.1 million). The increase is mainly due to the
revenues’ increase of the container terminal sector, of the revenue from the concession of piers II & III as
well as from the the cruise sector by 17.0%, 10.8% and 24.8% or by8.5 million, 8.8 million and7.5
million respectively.
The increase in revenue from loading/unloading is mainly due to the activities of the Container Terminal.
Throughput at the Container Terminal, Pier I, for the year 2025 reached 664,581 TEUs, recording an
increase of 17.9% compared to the corresponding year 2024 (563,725 TEUs).
In particular, a significant increase was recorded in domestic cargo (imports and exports) from 232,252
TEUs in 2024 to 254,591 TEUs in 2025 (+9.6%), as well as transshipment cargo by 23.7% from 331,473
TEUs in 2024 to 409,990 TEUs in 2025.

The total number of passengers recorded an increase of 9.68% (1,863,397 passengers) compared to 2024
(1,698,877 passengers). Specifically, compared to 2024, there was an 8.2% increase (1,091,364 passengers
compared to 1,008,209 passengers) in homeport passengers and an 11.8% increase (772,033 passengers
compared to 690,668 passengers) in transit passengers.
The significant increase in revenue from the Pier II + III concession agreement is mainly due to the increase
in the variable consideration, which amounted to 74,215,831.56 (31.12.2024: 66,009,391.37). The
concession consideration is calculated and recognized in income for the period in accordance with the
terms of the contract and considered as lease contract based on IFRS 16.
This increase was offset by a decrease in revenue of the ferry sector by 28.4% or by € 3.6 million (Note
24 &25).
The decrease in revenue from ferry shipping is mainly because, from May 1, 2025, and for a period of one
(1) year, the Company proceeded to reduce the fees for ships and passengers of Ferry Shipping by 50% in
accordance with the relevant amendment of the Ministry of Shipping & Island Policy. The amendment has
a significant impact on the revenue of the activity for the period of application of the current year, i.e.
reduction by an amount of 3.4 million compared to the corresponding period last year, as well as a
decrease of 1.1 million resulting from the mooring of coastal shipping and included in the "Mooring"
item.
Cost and Expenses
" Payroll and employee related costs" constitute the most important category of the Company's operating
expenses, which during 2025 showed a significant increase and amounted to € 79.7 million compared to
71.1 million in 2024 (Note 26). The significant increase in Payroll and employee related costs in the
current year compared to the corresponding last year is mainly due to the additional staggered increase
of payroll of employees and dock workers according to the Collective Bargaining Agreements in force from
1/8/2024 and 1/7/2024 respectively, the implementation from 1/4/2025 of the new Collective Bargaining
Agreement for Supervisors & Foremen, the increased employment (hourly wages) of dock workers to
serve the organic growth that occurs in most of the Company's activity sectors during year 2025, as well
as the increase in personnel during the current year compared to the previous year. Also, the Company's
Management, both in the current and the previous year, decided to grant voluntary retirement incentives
to those employees who had established the right to retirement and had reached the age of 60 on
December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively. The total charge for the current year amounted to € 0.9 million
compared to € 0.7 million in the previous year.
In regard to the remaining operating costs, except for payroll costs, they remained consistent to the prior
year figures except for the following:
A significant increase was recorded in Various expensesby 3.7 million or 44.7%, which is mainly
due to the increase in cleaning port services expenses by the amount of 2.0 million or 102.1%, and
in port guard fee by the amount of € 1.0 million or 32.3% (Note 26).
An increase was recorded in “Third Party Fees and Expenses” by 1.2 million or 23.4%, which is mainly
due to the increased use of external partners for loading and unloading services by approximately
1.8 million compared to the previous year, which was partially offset by the decrease in consultants'
fees and expenses by the amount of 0.4 million (Note 26).

during the current year (Notes 18 & 26).
The "Greek State Concession" fee presented an increase during the year 2025, by 0.7 million or by
14.1% which is mainly due to the increase in revenues of the current year compared to the
corresponding year of 2024 (Note 22 & 26).

the current year to 2.4 million while in the corresponding last year it amounted to 2.7 million (Notes

amounting to € 0.5 million or by 7.0% amounting to € 6.4 million (31.12.2024: € 6.9 million) (Note 27).
Other operating expenses for the current year amounted to 1.7 million compared to the
corresponding year of 2024 (€ 0.6 million) presented an increase amounting to € 1.1 million. This increase
is due to the increase in compensation to suppliers arising from the execution of their contracts by the
Company (Note 27).
Net impairment losses on financial assets

years’ provision of € 0.6 million was used (31.12.2024: € 0.4 million) (Note 11).

by 59.8% (31.12.2025: € 2.1 million instead of € 5.2 thousand in 31.12.2024) which is due to the decrease
to the amount of the time deposits concluded, as well as the relevant interest rates (Note 28).
Total Assets
Total assets at December 31, 2025 amounted to 689.8 million, increased by 4.1% or 27.0 million
(31.12.2024: € 662.8 million).

26.1% due to the additions 110.9 million of the year reduced by 17.3 million current year

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
These increases were mainly offset by:
decrease in cash and cash equivalents by € 54.7 million or by 26.8% mainly due to the early repayment
of the Company's loan obligations, the high dividend yield of the previous year, as well as the significant
tangible investments of the current year (Note 13).

year payments of € 3.7 million, finance cost € 2.2 million and additions of € 0.2 million (Note 5).

According to article 150 of Law 4548/2018, large enterprises are required to disclose information
regarding the key intangible assets that directly affect their business model, strategic direction and value

reflected in the financial statements, but they decisively affect the competitiveness and long-term
performance of a company.
The Company relies heavily on its intangible assets to create added value, differentiate the services
provided and maintain a strong position in the competitive international port environment. In the case of
the Port of Piraeus, intangible assets do not simply function as complementary assets, but are
fundamental pillars of its operation, contributing decisively to ensuring its financial performance, business
continuity and long-term sustainability.
In the port of Piraeus, intangible resources contribute substantially to value creation and include a set of
elements that enhance the operational efficiency, reputation, innovation and strategic advantage of the
Company. These resources are categorized as follows:
1. Human Capital

and know-how of the staff directly affect the quality of the services provided and the operational
efficiency.

long-term experience in providing a wide range of port services, such as the handling of containers,
vehicles and passengers (cruise and coastal shipping), the supply chain and ship repair. This accumulated
knowledge is a critical factor in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of port operations.

Page 19 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The Company categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value in three categories, defined as
follows:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) values from active financial markets for identical negotiable assets or
liabilities.
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inflows that have a significant impact on the recorded fair value are
identified or determined directly or indirectly from active financial markets.
Level 3: Techniques that use inflows that have a significant impact on the recorded fair value and are not
based on quoted prices from active financial markets.
During the year ended December 31, 2025 , there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
Financial risk management:
The financial risks related to the Company and their respective management are as follows:
Credit Risk: The Company's Management estimates that its exposure to credit risk is limited towards the
contracting parties, - as a matter of policy - it receives advances payments or letters of guarantee for most
of its provided services . From the above applied policy are excluded customers who belong to the same
group of companies, as mentioned in note 32 "Related Party Transactions". In addition, the transactional
activity between the Company and its related party company, Piraeus Container Terminal SA, which is the
Company's largest customer in terms of volume, is mainly covered by the terms of the concession
agreement between them, which is under the supervision of the Greek State. It should be noted that
despite the very significant amount and range of related parties transactions, no credit event has occurred
until now that could raise a credit risk.
In addition, the Company's cash at banks and time deposits are placed in bank financial institutions in
Greece and generally in European Union, with the following ratings (Moody's credit rating):
Foreign Exchange Risk: The Company is neither involved in international trade nor has any long-term loans
in foreign currency and therefore is not exposed to foreign exchange risk resulting from foreign currency
rate variations.
Interest rate risk: The Company's bank lending concerns two loans in Euro and is subject to one fixed rate
and the other to a variable interest rate (Note 19). The Company, during the year does not use bank
borrowing and therefore there is no interest rate risk.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Additionally, in the context of managing its assets as effectively as possible, as well as limiting any possible
impact of increased borrowing interest rates on its results, the Company's Management, taking advantage
of its strong liquidity, implements short-term reinvestments of these, expoiting the increased interest rates
on term deposits.
The table below presents and analyses the sensitivity of the result in relation to financial assets (cash on
hand and in banks) and financial liabilities (loans) of the Company to the interest rate risk changes assuming
a simultaneous change in interest rates by ± 100 basis points on the Company’s profit.
Liquidity risk: The effective management of liquidity risk is ensured by maintaining sufficient cash and the
availability of financing in case of need. Corporate liquidity risk management is based on the proper
management of working capital and cash flows.
The following table summarizes the maturity dates of the financial liabilities of 31 December 2025 and 2024
respectively, arising from the relevant contracts at unpaid prices.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The most significant events after December 31, 2025, are the following:
First Investment Period Duration
In accordance with the provisions of article 7.2 and Annex 7.2a of the Concession Agreement between PPA
SA and the Hellenic Republic (the contracting parties), ratified by law 4404/2016, as amended (law
4838/2021), the identification and quantification of one or more Suspension Events, by the Independent
Engineer, during the execution of the Mandatory Investment projects, results in a corresponding extension
of the First Investment Period. The identification and quantification of the Suspension Events falls under
the competence of the Independent Engineer and is recorded in the Reports that they submit to the
contracting parties. In this case, the Independent Engineer has identified, quantified and recorded in his
Reports, to date, Suspension Events of a total duration of 1177 days. Consequently, the First Investment
Period, which was to expire on August 9, 2026, has been extended by the corresponding period, i.e. by 1177
days, with a new expiration date (as of this day and subject to any occurrence of new Suspension Events in
the future) on October 29, 2029. The above is established and recorded in the most recent 35
th
Quarterly
Report of the Independent Engineer referenced to the last quarter of 2025, which has been duly notified
by the Independent Engineer to both parties (PPA SA and the Greek State) on January 28, 2026.
Evolutions in the Middle East
Following the reporting date, and specifically during February 2026 ,an armed conflict broke out in Iran,
forming part of the broader context of geopolitical instability in the Middle East. This development does
not constitute an adjusting event in accordance with IAS 10 “Events after the Reporting Period”, as the
relevant conditions did not exist at the reporting date.
The Company’s Management closely monitors and continuously assesses the impact of the volatile situation
in the Middle East on the macroeconomic and financial environment , such as potential energy instability
and increase in energy costs, inflationary pressures, and severe disruptions in international shipping and
global trade, in order to ensure that all necessary actions and measures are taken to minimize any potential
effects on the Company’s operations.
As part of the Company’s operations, cargo containers are transported either from or to ports in the
countries involved or neighboring regions. These shipments for the 2025 fiscal year were not significant in
relation to the Company’s overall operations.
At the same time, in the context of developments in international shipping and trade flows in the wider
region, certain changes and diversions in routes and cargoes towards to Piraeus have been observed so far.
The nature of these changes is currently assessed as temporary, as the situation is evolving dynamically and
is constantly being reassessed in light of geopolitical developments, both by the Company and by shipping
providers.
As of the date of approval of the financial statements, it is not possible to estimate any potential
quantitative impact of this development on the Company’s results and financial position.
Other than the above, there are no other significant events after December 31, 2025, that may have a
material impact on the company's financial position.

GOING CONCERN DISCLOSURE
The Company, for the preparation of the Financial Information of December 31, 2025, has adopted the
going concern basis. For the application of this principle, the Company took into account the current
financial developments as well as the risks arising from the financial environment and made estimates for
the shaping, in the near future, of the trends and the economic environment in which it operates. The main
factors that can affect the implementation of this principle are mainly related to the economic environment
in Greece and internationally as well as the ongoing Russia/Ukraine, unstable environment in the Middle
East region), with the resulting issues in the energy sector, rising inflation and the free navigation of
commercial ships.
As part of the consideration of whether to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial
statements, management has considered the Company’s financial performance in the year, as well as a
quantitative viability exercise, including the performance of various stress tests that consider the
Company’s principal risks, including that relating to climate change, and confirms the Company’s ability to
generate cash in 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and beyond. The
Company’s strong balance sheet and liquidity position, its operation in several segments, the strong and
dynamic management and the experienced human resources will allow the Company to successfully
overcome any period of uncertainty.Therefore, it is deemed appropriate that the Company continues to
adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements.
Accordingly, and having reassessed the principal risks, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing the Annual Financial Statements and have not identified any material
uncertainties to the Company's ability to continue trading as a going concern over a period of at least 12
months from the date of approval of annual financial statements.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
II. Deviation from the Corporate Governance Code and Justification of Deviations
The Company fully complies with the provisions of the relevant Greek legislation, rules and regulations
and internal corporate values for the development of corporate governance principles it applies and has
adapted to those defined by the existing institutional framework of corporate governance. As mentioned
above, following a Board of Directors (BoD) decision and in accordance with article 17 of law 4706/2020,
it implements and adopts the Hellenic Corporate Governance Code (HCGC, June 2021) of the Hellenic
Corporate Governance Council (HCGC).
The Company has not adopted some specific practices of the Code that are specifically mentioned below
but remains faithful to its commitment to take all the necessary actions for the implementation of the
provisions of Law 4706/2020:
Deviation from the Special practice of Code 2.2.15: “The company ensures that the diversity criteria
concern, in addition to the members of the BoD, senior and/or senior management with specific
representation objectives by gender, as well as timetables for achieving them”.
Explanation: Due to the particular nature of the port industry area in which the Company operates and
given that the overwhelming percentage of its staff is employed in labor-intensive activities (dockworkers,
operators of lifting machines, drivers of heavy-duty vehicles, workshop staff, etc.), it is not possible to
define and ensure specific goals of representation by gender, (beyond the BoD members in accordance
with the provisions of Law 4706) among the Managerial staff. Apart from the BoD members selection
where the Company applies the diversity criteria provided for in the BoD Suitability Policy, no specific
gender representation goals and specific timetables for their achievement have been set for the selection
of the Company's Managerial staff. However, the Company's Code of Conduct, which is uploaded on the
Company's website, states (Chapter of Equal Opportunities) that the Company promotes a work
environment that respects equality, individual rights and diversity no matter on characteristics such as
age, gender, race, nationality and physical ability. On 31.12.2025, the participation of women in all of the
Company's managerial positions amounted to 36.5%.
Deviation from the Special practices of Code: 2.2.21: “The Chair shall be elected by the independent non-
executive members. In the event that the Chair is elected by the non-executive members, one of the
independent non-executive members shall be appointed, either as vice-chair or as a senior independent
member (Senior Independent Director)”. 2.2.22: The independent non-executive Vice-Chair or Senior
Independent Director shall, as appropriate, have the following responsibilities: to support the Chair, to
act as a liaison between the Chair and the members of the BoD, to coordinate the independent non-
executive members and lead the evaluation of the Chair”. 2.2.23: “Where the Chair is an executive, then
the independent non-executive vice-chair or the senior independent member (Senior Independent
Director) shall not replace the Chair in his executive duties.”.
Explanation: The Company's BoD, when constituted as a Body, applies the provisions of article 8 of Law
4706/2020 "In the event that the BoD appoints one of the executive members as Chairman, it must
appoint a Vice-Chairman from among the non-executive members". In addition, 67% of the members of
the Company's existing BoD are Non-Executive members, while the Chairmen and the majority of the
members of the Article 10 Committees (Audit, Remuneration, Nomination) are Independent Non-
Executive members.
Page 27 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Taking into account the above, the Company's BoD considers that the non-appointment of one of its
members as Senior Independent Director does not create any problem in its orderly operation and the
fulfillment of its duties, as well as that the burden of the independent non-executive members with the
additional burden of the object of the Vice Chairman of the BoD was not desirable, while it might cause
obstacles in the work of the above Committees. With the above specific balance, its efficient and
productive operation has been ensured during all the last years.
Deviation from the Special practices of Code: 2.3.1: “The company has a framework for filling positions
and succession of the members of the BoD, in order to identify the needs for filling positions or
replacements and to ensure each time the smooth continuation of the management and the achievement
of the company's purpose”. 2.3.2: The company ensures the smooth succession of the members of the
BoD with their gradual replacement in order to avoid the lack of management.”. 2.3.3: “The succession
framework shall in particular take into account the findings of the evaluation of the BoD in order to
achieve the necessary changes in composition or skills and to maximise the effectiveness and collective
suitability of the BoD.”.
Explanation: Regarding to the succession of the BoD members, given that the term of office of the BoD
members launched in July 2025, it was not considered appropriate within 2025 to have a procedure for
the activiation of the Nominations Committee. In the event of the need to replace one or more members
of the BoD, the Nominations Committee is activated to find suitable candidates for new members in
accordance with the Company's Nominations Policy in order to carry out the replacement of members,
the procedure defined in the Committee's Operation Regulation and the BoD Operation Regulation.
Deviation from the Special practice of Code 2.3.4: The company also has a succession plan for the
Chief Executive. The preparation of an integrated succession plan for the Chief Executive shall be
entrusted to the nomination committee, which in this case shall be responsible for: (a) identifying the
required quality characteristics that the Chief Executive should have, (b) ongoing monitoring and
identification of potential internal nominees, (c) where appropriate, search for potential external
nominees, (d) and a dialogue with the Chief Executive on the evaluation of nominees for his / her
position and other senior management positions. ”.
Explanation: The company has not formulated a special succession plan for the CEO, as the CEO is
replaced (by BoD decision), in case of absence or impediment, by the Chief Financial Officer who is also
an executive BoD member. In addition, the CEO has six (6) Deputies CEO, thus ensuring the smooth
continuity of the management of the Company's affairs and its daily corporate operation.
Deviation from the Special practice of Code 2.3.7: “The Board of Directors shall set up a nomination
committee, which shall play a leading role in the nomination process, in the design of the succession
plan and for the members of the Board of Directors and senior management.”
Explanation: The approval of the recruitment process of a senior management member and the
evaluation of his/her performance in the context of the implementation of the Corporate Governance
Law is of crucial importance for the successful achievement of the Company's objectives, as these
executives make the key decisions that lead to its development. In the event of the quit of a senior
management member of the Company or the creation of a need for a new position, the major
Shareholder proposes the appropriate candidate for it, and after a review of his/her qualifications by
the Nomination Committee, a proposal is submitted for approval by the BoD to fill the specific position.

which in turn proceeded to a relevant determination of fulfillment of the independence criteria of its

th
, 2025).
6. Suitability Policy of the BoD Members
The Company has adopted and implements a Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the
BoD (Suitability Policy), which has been approved by decision of the GA of 02.08.2023, following BoD
recommendation by its resolution dated 22.12.2022, and constitutes the set of principles and criteria that
apply when selecting, replacing, and re-appointing Board members, in terms of assessing their suitability
on an individual and collective level. This Policy aims to ensure the quality of recruitment to the Board, its
effective functioning and fulfilment of its role, based on the Company’s general strategy and medium and
long -term business goals for promoting its corporate interest.
The Suitability Policy of the Members of the BoD is posted on the Company’s website at the following
address: https://www.olp.gr/en/about-us/corporate-governance/policies.
The Eligibility/Suitability Policy aims to ensure that;
a) the BoD is staffed with sufficient number of members and a suitable composition;
b) the BoD is staffed with persons of morality and reputation;
c) the members of the BoD have the skills and experience required based on the duties they undertake
and their role on the BoD, while at the same time they have sufficient time to perform their duties;
d) in the selection, renewal of the term of office and replacement of a member, the evaluation of
individual and collective suitability is taken into consideration;
e) the Eligibility/Suitability Policy stipulates that the candidate members of the BoD know, among other
things, as much as possible, before taking the position, the culture, the values and the general strategy of
the Company.
The suitability of the BoD members is assessed both on an individual and a collective level.
Individual suitability means that a person is considered to have - as a Board member - sufficient
knowledge, skills, experience, independence of mind, good repute and moral standing for the
performance of their duties as a member of the Company’ s BoD, for which performance of duties he/she
shall also commit sufficient time, pursuant to the said Policy, which establishes specific criteria for the
assessment of all above factors.
Collective suitability means that the Board collectively should be suitable for carrying out its
responsibilities and should be composed in such manner as to contribute to the effective management of
the Company and to balanced decision-making.
BoD members should collectively be able to take appropriate decisions taking into account the business
model, risk-taking, strategy and markets in which the Company operates. Also, the members of the BoD
collectively are able to effectively monitor and critique the decisions of senior management.

PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
All areas of knowledge required for the business activities of the Company are recommended to be
covered by the Board collectively with sufficient expertise among its members. It is recommended that
there be a sufficient number of knowledgeable members in each area to be able to discuss the decisions
to be taken. The Bod members collectively have the necessary skills to present their views.
The composition of the BoD reflects the knowledge, skills and experience required to carry out his / her
responsibilities. The BoD in its executive function should benefit from a high level of managerial skills as
a whole; whereas in its supervisory function the BoD should avail itself of sufficient management skills as
a whole in order to organize its work efficiently and be able to understand and process the proposals for
respective decisions. In this context, the BoD as a whole adequately understands the areas for which
members are collectively responsible and to have the necessary skills to exercise the actual management
and supervision of the Company, including in terms of:
- its business and the main risks associated with it,
- strategic planning,
- financial reports,
- compliance with the legislative and regulatory framework,
- understanding corporate governance issues,
- the ability to identify and manage risks,
- the impact of technology on its activity,
- adequate gender representation.
In compliance with Law 5178/2025 and in particular with the provisions concerning the balanced
representation of genders on the Board of Directors, it is necessary to update the Company's regulatory
framework and specifically the "Suitability and Eligibility Policy of the Members of the Board of Directors".
The new law provides for an increase in the minimum percentage of representation of the
underrepresented gender on the Board of Directors from 25% to 33%, further strengthening the principles
of equality, diversity and inclusion in the administrative operation of companies. This change requires its
respective incorporation into the approved Regulations of the Company, so that they are fully aligned
with the current institutional and regulatory framework. The Company's Board of Directors, with the
resolution no. 77/2025, of December 17th, 2025, approved the update of the "Suitability-Eligibility Policy"
of its Members (which will be submitted for approval by the upcoming Ordinary General Assembly of
Shareholders), in order to explicitly include this specific quantitative parameter in the said policy.

As it turns out, the Company already fully complies with the provisions of article 3A par. 3 and 4 of Law
4706/2020, which was introduced by Law 5178/2025, with effect from 30.06.2026, as the participation of
the underrepresented gender in the Company's Board of Directors, due to its size, is not less than thirty-
three percent (33%) for all four indicators in the above table.
The Company recognizes that compliance with the relevant provisions on balanced gender representation
in the Board of Directors, in addition to being a legal obligation, is also an indicator of sound corporate
governance and is committed, as a leading Company in its sector of activity, to remaining committed to
its principles of eliminating any type of exclusion or unfair treatment based on gender.
Measures implemented by the company to improve gender balance representation on the Board of
Directors
Despite the provisions (Articles 3A par (3), (4), and (5) and 3B of Law 4706/2020, as applicable) coming
into force on June 30, 2026, the already Company's compliance as from this very present moment,
confirms both its constant vigilance in ensuring, through continuous review and implementation of the
necessary measures, its timely compliance with the legislative and regulatory framework, with the aim of
its lawful and smooth operation, as well as its willingness to adopt best corporate practices. Indicative,
but not restrictive, are mentioned:
Representation in executive positions: Since July 2021, the underrepresented gender has been
represented by 33% of the executive members of the Board of Directors, in order to ensure balance in
decision-making.
Promotion of women to positions of responsibility: Despite the particular nature of the port industry
in which the Company operates and given that the overwhelming majority of its workforce is employed
in labor-intensive activities (dockworkers, crane and forklift operators, truck drivers, manual services staff,
etc.), the participation of women in all management positions in the Company amounted to 36.5% on 31
December 2025.

PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Continuous monitoring and compliance: The composition of the Board of Directors is assessed annually
by an external consultant (a relevant report is included in the corporate governance statement of the
Annual Financial Report) to ensure that the percentage of the underrepresented gender remains within
or, ideally, exceeds the limits set by law.
Training: Training executives on gender equality, discrimination prevention, and fair selection enhances
the effectiveness of the practice followed and contributes to changing mindsets, avoiding unconscious
biases, and promoting balanced representation.
Integration into corporate governance: Promoting balanced gender representation is not a stand-alone
action, but is integrated into the company's governance policies, strategy, and internal procedures, such
as the Company's Suitability Policy and Diversity Policy.
Conclusion
The Company fully complies with the obligations of Article 3A of Law 4706/2020, as applicable. It
constantly strives to improve balanced representation through the above measures and ensures the
continuous monitoring and adjustment of its policies.
On the above, the Company drafted a special annual report in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 1 of article 3C of Law 4706/2020, which was added by article 7 of Law 5178/2025 as well as in

b) to the "Documentation, Research and Digital Support Department (Observatory)" of the General
Secretariat for Equality and Human Rights of the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family and

13. Monitoring conflict of interest situations
In order to timely diagnose and deal with possible situations of conflict of interest:
The Internal Audit Department reports to the BoD of the Company cases of conflict of private interests
of the BoD Members or Executives with the interests of the Company, which they ascertain during the
exercise of their duties.
In the event of a conflict of interest being identified, the BoD undertakes to deal with it, deciding on any
corrective measures or consequences, including their escalation according to the seriousness of the
situation and the potential invitation of negative consequences to the Company’s interests (indicative
and not limited to: temporary removal from the position of responsibility, suspension of performance
of duties, non-continuation of performance of duties, imposition of penalties provided for by law).
14. Communication with stakeholders and shareholders
Dialogue with other stakeholders
As a responsible corporate organization that prioritizes transparency and continuous communication of
its actions and activities, Company interacts systematically with its Stakeholders, who play an important
role in the Company's decision-making process. The Company's objective is to create the conditions for
a continuous two-way dialogue with the interested parties in order to understand the effects of its
activity and to improve its performance taking into account the opinion, needs, expectations and
proposals of all the parties it affects and they influence the decision-making and the formulation of the
Company's strategy.
For this reason, and in the context of conducting a materiality analysis, the Company redefines the
stakeholders who participate in, influence, and are significantly affected by its business activities, in
accordance with its principles/values, strategy, market, and the proximity of its activities to them.
The materiality analysis is a key to identifying, defining, and evaluating the priorities set by the Company
for sustainable development. To this end, it has been implementing a materiality analysis systematically
since 2018. In addition, the Company, in the context of its interaction with stakeholders, continuously
assesses its impact on people and the environment. This regular review allows for the timely
identification and management of the impacts of its activity, even if these change or new ones arise.
In 2025, the Company proceeded to a double materiality analysis for the second time, taking into
account the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), while at the same time adhering to the
requirements of the GRI Standards, as the main reference standard for determining the content relating
to the completeness of the data, the double materiality of the issues, the response to the needs of
stakeholders and the overall framework for the Company's approach to Sustainable Development, as
well as all the principles for its quality.
Four main steps were followed in this process, to understand and address the most critical issues that
shape Company’s sustainability performance and financial success:
Step 1: Contextualization and Mapping
Step 2: Material Impact Identification
Step 3: Assessment of Financial Risks and Opportunities
Step 4: Double Materiality Results

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Results
Following the ESRS process and evaluating the outcomes of the interviews with internal and external
stakeholders, material topics were identified. The impact materiality assessment process enabled
Company to identify topics which considered material to the organization, topics which are recognized
for promoting a positive impact on one or more dimensions (environment, economy and people), and
topics were identified as having the potential to cause a negative impact on one of these dimensions.
The financial materiality assessment supported the process of identifying which of these material topics
are associated with financial risks and opportunities for the organization. Were identified financial
opportunities and financial risks to which Company is potentially exposed. As a final step, the double
materiality score was calculated considering both impact and financial materiality assessments.

ANNUAL SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
ESRS 2 General Disclosures
Sustainability Report
General Disclosures
Sustainability Report
Piraeus Port Authority S.A. (hereinafter the Company or PPA S.A.) publishes its second Sustainability Report
(hereinafter the “Report”) for the reporting period from 01/01/2025 to 31/12/2025. The current report is
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Law 5164/2024 as in force and the EU Taxonomy Regulation
(2020/852).
The Double Materiality Principle forms the foundation of this Report, constituting a methodological framework
that was first applied in 2024. For the current reporting year, the approach included a comprehensive
reassessment of the actual and potential impacts arising from port operations. In addition, all financial risks and
opportunities were reviewed and re-evaluated, taking into account not only direct effects but also the broader
interconnections, dependencies, and conditions extending across the entire value chain. This holistic approach
ensures that both impact materiality and financial materiality are accurately reflected. In this context, the
impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) presented in this Report have been updated compared to the previous
year, primarily with regard to their definitions and designations, in order to enhance clarity and achieve closer
alignment with the ESRS Standards. However, the material topics, as identified in accordance with the ESRS
Standards, remain unchanged compared to the previous year.
Scope of the Sustainability Report [ESRS 2: BP-1_5 a, bi ]
The Sustainability Report has been prepared on an individual basis, consistent with the scope applied in the
Company’s annual financial statements for the financial year 2025. As the Company does not have subsidiaries,
the preparation of a consolidated Sustainability Report is not required.
Assessment of the Value Chain [ESRS 2: BP-1_5 c ]
Information relating to the value chain is presented in various sections of the Sustainability Report. This includes
a description of the Company’s upstream and downstream value chain, due diligence processes across the value
chain, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The assessment conducted includes an analysis of impacts,
risks, and opportunities and considers how these extend across the Company’s value chain.
Omission of Information
The Company did not make use of the option to omit information related to intellectual property, know-how, or
the results of innovation [ESRS 2:BP-1_5 d]. It also did not apply the exemption from disclosure relating to
pending developments or matters under negotiation [ESRS 2: BP-1_5 e].

Time Horizon, Metrics, and Uncertainty Framework
Definition of Time Horizons [ESRS 2: BP-2_9 a, b]
Throughout the Report, the Company applies the time horizons defined by the European Sustainability Reporting
Standards (ESRS) without deviation from the established definitions. This ensures the preparation of the Report
with transparency, consistency, and accuracy.
The definitions used are as follows:
Short-term: objectives with a time horizon of less than one year
Medium-term: objectives with a time horizon of one to five years
Long-term: objectives with a time horizon of more than five years
Data Related to the Value Chain [ESRS 2: BP-2_10 a, b, c, d], [ESRS 2: BP-2_11 a, bi,
bii]
The data included in this Report primarily reflect the Company’s own operations and are recorded and monitored
directly through internal systems, covering energy consumption, water use, waste management, and
procurement activities. Where relevant, data from third-party providers are also incorporated, particularly where
such services influence the Company’s environmental and operational performance, including maintenance
contractors, waste management partners, logistics providers, and suppliers.
While most quantitative indicators (such as Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) are based on direct, primary, and
verifiable data, certain environmental metricsspecifically Scope 3 emissions (see Environment Chapter, Climate
Change section)are often calculated using industry-average data or other proxy values and are therefore
subject to a degree of uncertainty.
The measurement indicators used are based on primary data collected for Categories 3.3 and 3.5, while in certain
cases average values were used to estimate the relevant parameters. In particular, for Category 5.1, emission
factors as well as engine power were based on average data due to limited availability of asset-specific
information.
For Category 3.3, the distance-based approach of the GHG Protocol was applied, whereby emissions are
estimated based on distances travelled per mode of transport and the application of appropriate emission factors
per kilometre. The data used for the calculations were derived from a staff mobility survey conducted within the
organisation, with a participation rate of 46%.
For Category 3.5, the distance-based approach of the GHG Protocol was applied to air travel, while the average-
data approach was applied to hotel stays during business travel. In the case of air travel, the data were primary
and verifiable; however, in a limited number of instances, due to the absence of information on ticket class, the
assumption of an average passenger was applied. For the calculation of emissions from overnight stays, the data
used were primary and verifiable, while the emission factors applied were based on country-level average data.
For Category 5.1, the fuel-based approach of the Fourth IMO GHG Study 2020 was applied for CO₂ emissions,
while the energy-based approach was used for CH₄ and N₂O emissions from berthed vessels, using the respective
emission factors from the Fourth IMO GHG Study 2020. The available primary data included vessel type and size,
year of construction, and time spent at berth. Based on vessel size and type, engine power was determined using
data from the Fourth IMO GHG Study 2020, which provides average operational power values per vessel type and
size. Based on engine power and berthing time, the required energy was estimated, and subsequently, based on
the required energy and standard fuel consumption per engine type, fuel consumption was estimated for the
duration of the vessel’s engine operation.

Values
Profitability: Safeguarding and promoting corporate interest and the interests of our shareholders

Safety: Maintaining high standards for health and safety
Professional Growth: Guiding the professional development of employees
Responsibility: Acting to ensure both environmental and social responsibility
Sustainability Strategy [ESRS 2: SBM-1 40 e, f, g]
Being one of the largest ports in Europe, PPA S.A. aspires to create long-term value through strong service
governance and strategic partnerships. Our strategic approach progressively integrates sustainability ambions
and ESG principles into decision-making, ensuring the eecve management of impacts, risks and opportunies.
The Companys commitments are outlined in its ESG and Sustainability Policy (see Policies related to business
conduct and corporate culture Chapter G1-1). The policy is reviewed annually and provides the framework for
the sustainability strategy, which is evaluated through the double materiality assessment (DMA). This approach
ensures comprehensive monitoring and supports the ongoing update of policies, acons, and targets to eecvely
manage material impacts, risks, and opportunies (IROs).
The sustainability strategy of PPA S.A. is grounded in three ambions that drive economic progress and sustainable
outcomes, focusing on reducing the environmental footprint, fostering social involvement, and supporng the
growth and development of employees, alongside strong corporate governance. Through these commitments,
we set a series of key objecves.
As part of the Group’s sustainability strategy, the ESG Committee, established by the Board of Directors, oversees
the Company’s environmental, social, and governance performance and ensures the effective integration of non-
financial factors into business strategy and decision-making. In 2025, the Committee met five times to review the
value chain, significant impacts, risks and opportunities, and to propose sustainability goals and monitoring
indicators to the Board, while also supporting the preparation of the Sustainability Report. Through its work, the
Committee strengthens the port’s risk management and due diligence processes and ensures the implementation
of the Company’s Sustainability Policy.

Business Model and Value Chain [ESRS 2: SBM-1 42]
Identifying Stakeholders
A clear understanding of PPA S.A.’s business environment and the key parties involved at each stage was achieved
through a comprehensive value chain mapping. This mapping enabled the identification of the core stakeholder
groups embedded in the Company’s upstream and downstream activities, as well as how these stakeholders
interact with and influence the Company’s operations
Upstream Activities
The upstream segment of the value chain encompasses all entities involved in supplying the essential products,
services, and resources required for the port’s operations. This stage focuses on the delivery of foundational
inputs such as infrastructure, utilities and energy, skilled workforce, and operational as well as management
systems. These elements collectively ensure the port’s efficient, safe, and continuous functioning. Upstream
activities are organized into Tier 1, consisting of direct providers of core services and assets, and Tier 2, comprising
indirect suppliers and contractors who support and enable the primary providers.
Own Activities
PPA S.A. oversees interconnected port operations. Its core activities include cargo handling, cruise and ferry
passenger services, and ship repair, supported by warehousing and coordinated transport. Commercial
operations target shipping lines, logistics providers, cruise operators, ship repair clients, and real estate tenants.
Service quality is ensured through customer support, infrastructure upkeep, and adherence to environmental,
safety, and regulatory standards. These functions rely on procurement, advanced IT systems, skilled staff, and
financial and administrative support.
Downstream Activities
The downstream value chain of PPA S.A. includes entities that rely on the port’s after-delivery services. The
downstream boundaries extend to Tier 1 and 2, covering Tier 1 direct customers (shipping companies, terminal
operators, vehicle importers/exporters, cruise lines and tenants) and Tier 2 indirect customers (the customers of
those customers), as well as suppliers and partners involved in service and product distribution and further
handling of cargo and passenger flows. It also includes regulatory authorities, environmental and waste service
providers (working directly with the port’s output rather than vessels), as well as the local community impacted
by the port’s operations.

How the Company creates value
[ESRS-2_SBM-1 42a, b, c]
The Company creates long-term value for
stakeholders. The main purpose of the port is
to act as a secure hub for trade,
communication and exchanges. Our strategic
focus on operational efficiency, safety, and
sustainability guides all operations, guided by
our values.
The value creation model demonstrates the
transformation of input capital into output
capital and highlights the multidimensional
impacts generated across economic,
environmental and social sectors.

Stakeholder Engagement [ESRS 2: SBM-2_45]
Interest and views of stakeholders
PPA S.A. interacts with a wide range of stakeholder groups across all parts of the value chain. The
engagement process is designed to support a comprehensive understanding of stakeholders’
interests and expectations. As part of an ongoing action plan initiated in 2024, a survey was conducted
targeting key stakeholder groups and remained open throughout 2025. This survey has now been
updated and is to run for yet another year. This step establishes an open communication channel and
enables the identification of material issues along the value chain that require attention, planning,
and action.
The Company’s goal is to ensure transparency, build trust, and provide stakeholders with insight into
its strategy, performance, and objectives. Feedback gathered through various communication
channels (as presented at the table below), is supporting regular and constructive dialogue tailored
to each stakeholder group. The importance of this engagement is reflected during the Double
Materiality Assessment, where stakeholders actively participate in identifying actual and potential
negative impacts of the organization and are informed about the measures taken to mitigate or
remediate these impacts. The Company actively informs and engages employees and other key
stakeholders on materiality results and ESG performance through ongoing communication and
through its sustainability reporting.
Stakeholder input (based on surveys, meetings, and feedback collection) is assessed and presented
during the Company’s annual management review, with emphasis on issues related to sustainability.
These insights are discussed among the Board of Directors and the ESG Committee for the
determination of relevant actions [ESRS 2: SBM-2 45 b, d]. The outcomes of this process contribute
to the adjustment of corporate strategy, governance practices, and capital allocation decisions. The
material issues and associated material impacts, risks and opportunities are recorded as important
factors that become the subject of internal strategic reviews.

Double Materiality Assessment [ESRS 2: IRO-1 53]
Priorizing sustainability and transparency, PPA S.A. conducted the rst Double Materiality
Assessment in 2024 to evaluate the material topics that have environmental and social impacts
resulng from its operaons, and the associated material risks and opportunies alongside their
eects on nancial performance and value creaon. In 2025, the DMA exercise was re-evaluated and
the relevant IROs have been re-dened. The materiality of each IRO has not changed, yet the
denions on specic IROs have been claried. .
The Double Materiality Assessment followed a structured methodological approach in four steps. The
process involved data collecon and analysis with the acve parcipaon of experts and stakeholders.
This enabled the clear idencaon of the Company’s material impacts, risks, and opportunies. The
results of this assessment have been incorporated into the central risk management system, to ensure
resilience of the business strategy in managing challenges, meeng stakeholder expectaons and
eecvely addressing its material topics.
The review of the process during the second year of implementaon included the incorporaon of
updates and addional data sources. This review included a reassessment of stakeholder engagement
approaches, monitoring and reporng mechanisms, and the integraon of sustainability into overall
business strategy.

The four-step DMA process:
[ESRS2: IRO-1-53 a, b]
The DMA methodological approach [ESRS 2: IRO-1 53 a]
The DMA is founded on the principles outlined in the ESRS. The process evaluates how the acvies
of PPA S.A. have actual and potenal posive or negave impacts on the environment, people, and
society (impact materiality). Addionally, it considers how sustainability issues inuence the
Company’s operaons by presenng real and potenal nancial risks and opportunies (nancial
materiality).
To address this dual approach the following step was followed:
1. Understanding the business context
PPA S.A. conducted a thorough analysis of its internal and external environments, as well as its enre
value chain, to idenfy key material topics. To support this evaluaon, internal data, including
stakeholder inquiries, exisng due diligence processes, and the risk management system were all
reviewed alongside publicly available company informaon from published reports. Insights from the
value chain analysis, stakeholder feedback, and external expert contribuons were all incorporated to
idenfy the key topics for the assessment.
This assessment phase was completed during 2024. In the cycle of the current reporng period (2025),
no signicant internal changes occurred in the Companys operaons and strategy and thus the
exercise has only been updated rather than repeated.
2. Identification of Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs)
To ensure a robust and comprehensive idencaon of potenal impacts, risks and opportunies, the
process began with an extensive review of leading sustainability frameworks and external sources.
This included analysing SASB and ISSB sector-specic standards, MSCI and other ESG rang
methodologies, emerging industry and sustainability trends, and benchmarking against peer reporng
pracces.

Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Insights from these sources, together with relevant regulatory requirements and sustainability-
focused guidelines, were consolidated to develop an inial long list of topics that reect the most
relevant sustainability consideraons for the sector.
The long list of sustainability topics was inially compiled from various sources and subsequently
reviewed and rened into a list of relevant topics through consultaons with internal and external
stakeholders. This stakeholder engagement, including workshops, working groups, and interviews
with execuves and relevant teams, ensured that the topics reect the Group’s actual impacts, risks,
and opportunies. Based on this rened list, a preliminary inventory of potenal impacts, risks, and
opportunies (IROs) was developed, which was further elaborated and validated through ongoing
stakeholder dialogue.
In the current reporng period (2025), the process was reviewed through addional discussions and
stakeholder input. The idened impacts, risks and opportunies were reassessed, and the IROs list
was reviewed accordingly.
3. Evaluation of Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs)
Aer idenfying the potenal material IROs, company execuves, external experts and stakeholders
were engaged to evaluate their materiality from an impact and a nancial perspecve. In this step,
the company applied dened criteria for assessing impact and nancial materiality to idenfy which
actual and potenal impacts, risks, and opportunies are considered material.
Impact Assessment- Impact Materiality [ESRS 2: IRO-1_53 c]
PPA carried out the impact materiality assessment to idenfy the most signicant environmental and
social topics across its value chain, examining both direct and indirect eects from operaons,
partners, and local communies, with a focus on sensive operaons and spots along the value chain.
The analysis considered both actual and potenal impacts. The evaluaon combined internal data
derived from Company operaons and processes with external sources, including academic research
and industry reports.
The materiality assessment for negave impacts is based on likelihood and severity, considering scale,
scope, and irremediability. For posive impacts, it is based on scale, scope, and likelihood. These
criteria are scored to assess the materiality of impacts. Materiality thresholds help establish
signicance, while scoring supports the priorizaon of future sustainability acons.
The Company maintains an ongoing dialogue with its stakeholders, including the survey conducted in
2024–2025, which incorporates the Double Materiality assessment for idenfying and priorizing ESG
maers that aect the Company. The feedback collected through this process was used to inform the
assessment of material topics.

Risk and Opportunies Assessment - Financial Materiality [ESRS 2: IRO-1 53 c]
This process began with the assessment of potenal nancial risks and opportunies by analyzing
PPAs operaons, market environment, and value chain. Focus was placed on acvies or contexts
related to sustainability, such as regulatory shis, stakeholder expectaons, or environmental
pressures, may have an impact on nancial outcomes. The materiality of risks and opportunies was
assessed based on the likelihood of and the potenal magnitude of the nancial eects.
The likelihood of occurrence is esmated based on industry experience, market trends, historical data,
and professional judgment. A standardized scoring scale is applied to facilitate priorizaon and
integraon of the risks into strategic risk planning.
The magnitude of the nancial impact is esmated based on their potenal impact on key nancial
and operaonal indicators such as revenue, operang costs, brand reputaon, customer trust,
investor appeal, and regulatory compliance.
The nature of the nancial impact is categorized and assessed based on the following criteria [ESRS 2:
IRO-1_53 c ii]:
Direct or indirect impact (e.g. operaonal cost increases due to regulaon or demand shis
due to environmental performance)
Short-term or long-term (e.g. compliance costs incurred today to secure access to green
nancing in the future)
Financial or non-nancial (e.g. reduced occupancy rates in the event of a safety incident or
loss of trust due to poor HR or waste management)
Integrating Sustainability risks into risk management and strategy
The Double Materiality Assessment process has been fully embedded into the Group’s strategic and
risk management systems, ensuring that material impacts and dependencies are idened promptly
and considered in strategic decision-making. This approach enhances the Group’s long-term resilience
and allows for connuous adaptaon to market dynamics and the evolving regulatory requirements.
During the materiality assessment, aenon was given to how material impacts, whether posive or
negave, arising from the Group’s operaons, products, and stakeholder relaonships could lead to
nancially material risks or opportunies. Likewise, key dependencies were also assessed, including
the availability of natural resources (such as water and energy), geopolical stability, the availability
of skilled workforce, and the stability of Supply Chains and Logiscs. Disrupons to these
dependencies may signicantly aect operaonal connuity, reputaon, and nancial performance.

Sustainability risks are prioritized within the Company’s overall risk management framework, using
the same methodology applied to operational and financial risks. Emphasis is placed on serious ESG
risks with long-term implications. These key risks are integrated into the central risk register and
monitored by the Board of Directors, ensuring a holistic approach and increased strategic priority
relative to other risks. [ESRS 2: IRO-1_53 ciii]
4. Selecting Material Topics
The outcome of the assessment nalized the selecon and priorizaon of the material impacts, risks,
and opportunies included in the Sustainability Report. The assessment criteria were based on clear
and well-documented methodologies to ensure that the topics idened as material have a genuinely
signicant eect on the Company’s business model, as well as on the environment and society. Upon
compleon of the assessment, the material impacts, risks, and opportunies were idened by
comparing their scores against the established thresholds. The process for determining material topics
included the use of specic criteria and thresholds to assess which issues should be considered
material. The methodology was applied by evaluang the range of scores assigned to impacts, risks,
and opportunies. Issues exceeding the predened minimum thresholds were classied as material.
The Company idened as material those maers that aect the environment and society, operang
costs or revenues, as well as any issue that may have an adverse impact on the Companys reputaon
or its compliance with regulatory requirements. In addion, issues aecng the Company’s strategy
and its ability to respond to sustainability-related challenges are also assessed. [ESRS-2: IRO-2_59]

Decision-Making process and related safeguards [ESRS-2: IRO-1_53 d]
The Double Materiality Assessment, inially implemented in 2024, is now integrated into the
Company’s broader strategic and risk management framework. Through this process, material ESG
topics are idened and assessed with the acve involvement of execuves from various business
units, ensuring their mely integraon into strategic and operaonal planning. Throughout the
process, the ESG Commiee was consulted on the Double Materiality Assessment, the approval of
which forms part of the overall approval of the Sustainability Statement. For more informaon, see
the discussion in GOV 5.
Integraon of Risks and Opportunity Management in the General Management System [ESRS-2: IRO-
1 _53 e, f, c]
PPA S.A. assesses risks through a structured COSO-based ERM approach, integrang sustainability
consideraons idened in the DMA. A central Risk Register consolidates all convenonal and ESG-
related risks and opportunies, supporng consistent priorizaon across business units. Risks are
assessed for inherent and residual exposure, ranked by likelihood and severity, and reviewed through
internal audits, the Board-approved Risk Appete Statement, probability–impact matrices, and Key
Risk Indicators (KRIs). Opportunies are evaluated in a similar manner and monitored through Key
Opportunity Indicators (KOIs) to support strategic development. Risk reporng is conducted quarterly
and annually, updang senior management and the Audit Commiee on exposures, migaon
progress and emerging issues. The 2025 Risk Registry covers key areas such as climate change,
resource management, health and safety, regulatory compliance and data protecon.
As per ISO standards requirements, each department has established its own SWOT analysis and Risk
& Opportunies assessment. In line with these requirements and governance pracces, the Quality
Department records risks and opportunies at departmental level, progressively integrang
sustainability-related aspects. This includes embedding both climate-related and other ESG risks and
opportunies into operaonal business risk assessments. All idened risks and opportunies are
documented, evaluated, and communicated through the Management Review process (ISO 9001,
14001, 50001, 14064-1).
This integrated approach strengthens oversight and accountability, ensuring that sustainability-related
risks and opportunies emerging from the DMA, are embedded into strategic and operaonal
decision-making and contribute to the Company’s long-term resilience and performance. For more
informaon see the discussion in GOV 5 Risk Management and Internal Control Systme related to
sustainability reporng.
Input Parameters to the Impact, Risk & Opportunity Assessment Process [ESRS 2: IRO-1_53g]
The company’s DMA process is based on a combinaon of quantave and qualitave input
parameters. The company’s business units contributed by providing the necessary data and relevant
informaon. The collecon, processing, and analysis of data were conducted in accordance with
internaonally recognized standards, sciencally established methodologies, and applicable
reporng frameworks.

suppliers, customers, and instuonal stakeholders
These parameters inform both the selecon of material topics, and the mapping of impacts, risks, and
opportunies.
Changes in the Impact, Risk and Opportunity Assessment Process [ESRS 2: IRO-1_53h]
During the current reporng period, the Company introduced several improvements to the impact,
risk and opportunity assessment process compared to the previous reporng period. These
enhancements improve clarity, reliability and alignment, and include:
A clear disncon between impacts and risks and opportunies, along with the development
of a clear, concise and robust IRO matrix.
An assessment of sustainability trends within the sector and among peer companies.
Enhanced stakeholder engagement through more structured feedback processes and a
recurring simplied stakeholder survey.
The DMA is reviewed and updated on an annual basis, with future revisions scheduled to be carried
out annually as part of the Companys regular reporng cycle and strategic planning process.

Impact on the Environment and People
Environmental, social and governance issues affect the Company's business model and value chain,
requiring strategic adaptation and investment. Climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, resource
consumption, and community health risks are key challenges for businesses. These issues influence
the Company's strategy, shape the business model, and also arise throughout the entire value chain,
from upstream suppliers to downstream port users.
In the previous reporting period, a list of ESG-related objectives was submitted (see updated version
of the Objectives, Targets and Progress section). In the current Sustainability Report, the Company
presents the progress made and the efforts to gradually incorporate the necessary changes into its
operations.
The Company has launched actions to address climate change and reduce carbon dioxide emissions,
focusing on investments in renewable energy sources, alternative fuel supply services to ships,
circular economy practices and digital technologies (IoT, preventive maintenance and automation) to
improve efficiency. This direction has already begun to guide project planning and resource
allocation. [ESRS 2: SMB-3_48 b].
The Company recognizes that its operations create both positive and negative impacts. Negative
environmental impacts include greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions, noise pollution, and
potential marine or coastal pollution, which can impact ecosystems and community well-being.
Positive impacts include contributing to economic development, creating jobs and strengthening
green infrastructure and services. These impacts stem both from direct activities, such as ship
movements and cargo management, and from activities along the entire value chain, including
relationships with suppliers and shipping companies. [ESRS 2: SMB-3_48 c(i)]
To manage these impacts, the Company has started to implement targeted actions, such as switching
to electrified equipment, enhancing environmental monitoring and applying ESG criteria to supplier
selection (see section Governance G1-2). The Company is also actively involved in 9 EU-funded
projects that support decarbonization and biodiversity protection. Through the risk assessment
process, the Company integrates and monitors the environmental impacts that may create financial
obligations, regulatory risks and loss of stakeholder trust, while opportunities support innovation and
competitive advantage. [ESRS 2: SMB-3_48 c(i)]
The Company recognizes the social dimension of its operations, including employee well-being, health
and safety, and the port's relationship with local communities. Initiatives to improve infrastructure,
port-city connectivity, and stakeholder engagement have been initiated and continue to enhance
resilience and compliance with evolving expectations. negative or positive. Among the negatives are
the pressure on local communities and the challenges for the workforce, while the positive ones
include local employment, skills development and the strengthening of regional economic activity.
Unmanageable social risks can cause reputational damage or operational disruption, while
opportunities contribute to stronger partnerships and increased social value. [ESRS 2: SMB-3_48 ci]

Impact of Activities and Business Relationships
The environmental and social impacts associated with the Company's operations and business
relationships may manifest as financial risks or opportunities, impacting the Company's operational
performance and cash flow. [ESRS 2: SBM-3_48 c i, ESRS 2: SBM-3_48 civ] Tightening environmental
and other regulatory requirements is a key source of financial risk, as it may require additional
compliance investments, temporarily putting a strain on the Company's financial position. In addition,
potential deviations from the regulatory framework could result in fines, legal consequences, or
adverse effects on the Company's reputation. In line with new environmental requirements, they may
be impaired, while increased environmental remediation obligations may lead to the recognition of
new provisions. [ESRS 2: SBM-3_48 d]
As part of its strategy, the Company is making investments in sustainable technologies and green
infrastructure, which have contributed to enhancing the value of its fixed assets. Although the
implementation of these investments implies a temporary increase in liabilities and short-term cash
flow pressures, it is expected to pay off in the long term through the reduction of operating costs.
The adoption of energy-efficient solutions and the utilization of renewable energy sources support
improving profitability while reducing the environmental footprint. [ESRS 2: SBM-3_48 ci]
At the same time, the transition to more sustainable practices creates significant opportunities, such
as further improving energy efficiency, containing operating costs and developing partnerships with
environmentally responsible stakeholders. These developments strengthen the port's competitive
position and support the diversification of the Company's revenues [ESRS 2: SBM-3_48 c, iv]. In
addition, participation in innovative partnerships, EU programs and improved transparency promote
competitiveness and strengthen the Company's strategic direction. (ESRS 2: SBM-3_48 c i]
Resilience of the Strategy and Business Model [ESRS 2: SMB-3_48f]
Risk management plays a central role in decision-making and, together with strategic and execuve
management, supports the Company's transion from tradional risk and crisis management to
enhancing organizaonal resilience. As part of its sustainability strategy, the Company plans to
conducta resilience analysis aimed at enhancing its ability to address signicant impacts and risks,
while idenfying and capitalizing on signicant opportunies. Upon compleon of this analysis, the
Company will be able to further assess the resilience of its strategy in relaon to the signicant risks
and opportunies in the next reporng period.
Changes in IROs compared to the previous reporting period [ESRS 2: SMB-
3_48g]
In 2024, impacts, risks, and opportunies were idened and revised in 2025. In this context, no new
double materiality assessment was carried out in 2025. Instead, changes were made to the IROs to
ensure a clearer and more accurate representaon of topic materiality, including separaons,
renamings, and new addions.

Governance Structure and Sustainability Oversight
[ESRS2.GOV-1, ESRS2.GOV-2]
PPA S.A. maintains a structured and transparent governance framework designed to ensure
eecve oversight, accountability and the integraon of sustainability consideraons into
strategic and operaonal decision-making. This framework is aligned with the Hellenic
Corporate Governance Code (June 2021), adopted by decision of the Board of Directors in
accordance with Arcle 17 of Law 4706/2020, and operates through clearly dened mandates,
documented responsibilies and specialised bodies that supervise both nancial and non-
nancial informaon.
Administrave and supervisory bodies of the Company
The General Assembly of Shareholders is the supreme governance body responsible for
approving the nancial and sustainability statement, for elecng the Board of Directors, for
approving the Remuneraon Policy and the Suitability Policy, and nally for endorsing maers
relang to the Company’s sustainability strategy when required. Resoluons put forward by
the Shareholder Assembly bind all shareholders [ESRS2.GOV-1_22a].
The Board of Directors (hereinaer BoD) exercises management and oversight over the full
range of the Company’s acvies, including strategic direcon, major transacons, monitoring
of material impacts, risks and opportunies, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and
corporate governance requirements. The BoD safeguards the completeness and reliability of
nancial and non-nancial informaon in line with Arcle 151 of Law 4548/2018 [ESRS2.GOV-
1_22a, 22c].
The current BoD consists of nine members, three Execuve (33%), six Non-Execuve (67%)
and three Independent Non-Execuve, corresponding to an independence rao of 33%, in
accordance with Arcle 4 of Law 3016/2002 and Arcle 9 of Law 4706/2020 [ESRS2.GOV-
1_21a], [ESRS2.GOV-1_21e].

Gender representaon is ensured by the parcipaon of three women in a total of nine
members of the BoD (33%), fully meeng the minimum threshold of Law 4706/2020 and
reecng the eecve implementaon of the Company's suitability and diversity policy.
Diversity is also demonstrated through cizenship, with six members of Chinese naonality
(67%), two of Greek cizenship (22%) and one member of American cizenship (11%), which
is consistent with the internaonal ownership structure, the business prole of the Company
and extroversion [ESRS2. GOV-1_21d]. This compliance is already conrmed in the Special
Annual Report in accordance with arcle 3 of Law 4706/2020 (2025), demonstrang that the
Company has achieved the legal requirement of at least 33% representaon of the
underrepresented sex in all categories of the Board of Directors well before the imposion
date of June 30, 2026.
The average age of the members of the BoD is 58.3 years (reference date 31.12.2025), while
the average tenure is 1.7 years, ensuring an eecve blend of connuity, instuonal
knowledge and renewal.
The BoD exhibits a high level of professional diversity, collecvely possessing extensive
internaonal experience and specialized experse in areas such as shipping, port operaons,
logiscs, nance, accounng, corporate governance, and strategic management. Several
members have served as senior execuves of China COSCO SHIPPING or its global subsidiaries,
possessing extensive knowledge of container shipping, port development, large-scale
infrastructure planning and internaonal market dynamics. Addional members contribute a
strong background in nancial management, investment supervision, and auding, ensuring
sound decision-making on issues related to nancial performance, compliance, capital
allocaon, and operaonal resilience. [ESRS2. GOV-1_21c].
In 2025, the BoD further strengthened its sustainability capabilies through the aendance
and compleon of an ESG seminar on "ESG Key Concepts for Board Members and Senior
Management", held on 08/10/2025 and supported by the Greek Corporate Governance
Council The seminar enhanced the understanding of the new sustainability frameworks,
regulatory developments and governance expectaons. Complemenng internal experse,
the ESG Commiee acvely supports the BoD in overseeing sustainability issues, examining
signicant ESG risks and opportunies, and ensuring the integraon of sustainability principles
and objecves into strategic planning.

The Company is addionally supported by a dedicated external team of sustainability
consultants, which contributes with expert guidance in the assessment of Double Materiality
and helps in the formulaon of ESG objecves aligned with operaonal priories and
regulatory obligaons, as well as in the compleon of the annual Sustainability Report [ESRS2.
GOV-1_23, 23a, 23b]
The views of the workers are incorporated through ve recognized trade unions: the Union of
Permanent Employees, the Union of Technicians and Operators, the Union of Port Workers,
the Union of Supervisors, and the Federaon of Employees of Greek Ports. These unions
engage in a structured, instuonalized dialogue with senior management, contribung to the
knowledge of the workforce on working condions, labor relaons, operaonal issues and
emerging needs of employees. The Company maintains bilateral relaons, meaning that
engagement is carried out exclusively between employee representaves and management,
thus ensuring transparent and balanced consultaon processes that eecvely inform
governance and strategic decision-making [ESRS2. GOV-1_21b]
In addion, the BoD is supported by specialised commiees in accordance with Law
4706/2020. The Audit Commiee, composed of three non-execuve members of the BoD (two
of whom are independent), oversees nancial and sustainability reporng, internal controls,
risk management and regulatory compliance, including maers related to sustainability
disclosures and due diligence. [ESRS2.GOV-1_22a, ESRS2.GOV-1_22b, ESRS2.GOV-2_26a]
In 2025, the BoD met thirteen mes to review the annual and interim nancial statements,
the results of the audit, to approve the annual compliance and risk management reports, to
assess the eecveness of the internal control system, to make recommendaons on the
appointment of external auditors, to approve the Annual Budget for Donaons and Grants,
the Investment Plan and the Asset Allocaon Plan, to approve the Company's Strategic
Business Plan, to approve the work related to Mandatory Investments, transacons with
related pares, as well as to approve internal operang regulaons. This approach provides
systemac oversight of sustainability-related policies, acons and controls [ESRS2.GOV-1_22a,
ESRS2.GOV-2_26a]
The Nominaon Commiee shall ensure the suitability, independence, diversity and
competence of the members of the BoD in accordance with Arcles 10 and 12 of Law
4706/2020. It met six mes in 2025, reviewing the evaluaon of BoD and the commiees
carried out by an external consultant and preparing recommendaons for the elecon of the
new BoD by the next General Meeng. [ESRS2.GOV-1_22a, ESRS2.GOV-1_22b, ESRS2.GOV-
1_23, ESRS2.GOV-1_23a]
The Remuneraon Commiee oversees the remuneraon framework, ensuring alignment
with the company's strategic objecves and considering, on a future basis, the possible
integraon of sustainability-related indicators into execuve compensaon. The
Remuneraon Commiee met ten mes during the reporng period and prepared the
Remuneraon Report and related submissions to the General Meeng [ESRS2.GOV-1_22a,

The newly established (November 2025) Strategy Commiee analyses, evaluates and advises
the Management and the BoD of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of its
Regulaon of Operaon, on issues related to the general strategy of the Company, as well as
in parcular on strategic issues related to sustainable development, as well as new
technologies and innovaon, including the Company's digital transformaon and sustainability
through innovave technologies. The goal of the Commiee is sustainable development and
opmizaon of the value of the Company.
The ESG Commiee serves as the main internal governance body for sustainability issues. It
coordinates the mapping of the value chain, the idencaon and assessment of material
impacts, risks and opportunies, the development of sustainability targets and the monitoring
of key performance indicators. The ESG Commiee also reviews the Sustainability Report
before subming it to the BoD and ensures that sustainability iniaves are aligned with
corporate risk management and due diligence. [ESRS2.GOV-1_22a, ESRS2.GOV-1_22d]
The ESG Commiee consists of sixteen members represenng all key operaonal and support
funcons, such as Strategy and Development, Regulatory Compliance, Risk Management,
Environmental Services, Port Security, Markeng and Quality, Human Resources, Finance,
Procurement, Cruise and Coastal Shipping, Projects and the Secretariat of the Board. Its
composion ensures the availability of appropriate experse to monitor signicant impacts,
risks and opportunies, and supports the interoperable ow of informaon. There are four
women on the Commiee, represenng a gender representaon rate of 25%. [ESRS2.GOV-
1_21c, ESRS2.GOV-1_21d, ESRS2.GOV-1_23b]
The day-to-day management is done by the Chief Execuve Ocer, who is supported by the
Deputy and Assistant Chief Execuve Ocer and by specialized departments such as Internal
Audit, Regulatory Compliance, Risk Management, Human Resources, Environmental Services,
Legal Department, Quality Assurance, Operaons and Strategic Planning. The reference lines
from these funcons to the BoD and its commiees ensure the structured and mely ow of
informaon on important sustainability issues. At the same me, the BoD oversees the
denion of relevant targets related to material impacts, risks and opportunies and regularly
monitors progress towards them, as further described in the secon "ESRS 2 Objecves,

The informaon provided to the governance bodies follows structured reporng procedures.
The Board of Directors, the ESG Commiee and other Commiees receive regular updates on
the idencaon and assessment of signicant impacts, risks and opportunies, the
implementaon and eecveness of sustainability-related policies and acons, the results of
internal control, compliance with applicable legislaon, including the European Sustainability

All the above demonstrate the integraon of sustainability consideraons into organisaonal
governance, risk management and strategic oversight [ESRS2.GOV-1_22a, ESRS2.GOV-

The administrave, management, and supervisory bodies supervise maers related to
business ethics within the framework of the responsibilies formally assigned to them, as set
out in the Internal Operang Regulaons, the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors,
and the approved policies of the Company. The oversight of ethical conduct, integrity, and
compliance is exercised through the governance established by the Company, with
responsibilies distributed among the Board of Directors, its Commiees, and the competent
internal Units, in accordance with the applicable legal and regulatory framework. Informaon
related to business ethics is submied to the governance bodies through established reporng
procedures as outlined in the Company's internal regulaons [G1. GOV-1_5a]
All bodies collecvely, as well as each member parcipang individually, have the knowledge
and experse required to oversee the Company's signicant impacts, risks and opportunies.
Their responsibilies cover key areas such as port operaons, marime logiscs, nance,
regulatory compliance and corporate governance, as explicitly stated in the "ESRS 2 GOV"
Governance Disclosures. The skills, background and professional experience of all members of
the governance body are provided in the Corporate Governance Statement included in the
current Annual Financial Report [G1. GOV-1_5b]
GOV-3 - Integration of Sustainability-Related Performance in Incentive
Schemes
The Company applies a Remuneraon Policy approved by the General Meeng in accordance
with Arcle 110 of Law 4548/2018. The Policy sets out the structure of xed and variable
remuneraon, the applicable contractual terms and safeguards that ensure independence,
objecvity and alignment with the Companys long-term interests [ESRS2.GOV-3_29a,
G1.MDR-P_65a]. The Policy applies to members of the BoD and to Depues and Assistants to
the Chief Execuve Ocer and is valid for the nancial years 2023 to 2026, unless amended
by the General Meeng during this period [G1.MDR-P_65b]
Fixed remuneraon consists of annual Board fees and, for Execuve Members and senior
execuves, salary, relocaon allowances and benets in kind. Variable remuneraon is
available only to Execuve Members and to the Depues and Assistants to the Chief Execuve
Ocer and may include short-term prot sharing and long-term incenve components linked
to predetermined corporate and individual targets [ESRS2.GOV-3_29(a)]. These targets are
primarily based on nancial indicators, and therefore, no sustainability-related benchmarks
are currently used ESRS2.GOV-3_29b, ESRS2.GOV-3_29c]
The Remuneraon Commiee oversees the performance assessment process and evaluates
the achievement of performance targets related to variable remuneraon [ESRS2.GOV-
3_29e], [G1.MDR-P_65c]
The Commiee operates independently, is composed exclusively of Non-Execuve Directors,
the majority of whom are Independent, and is mandated to propose performance criteria for
Execuves, to review the dra Annual Remuneraon Report and to submit recommendaons
to the BoD [G1.MDR-P_65c]

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The Commiee meets at least twice annually, always before the preparaon or revision of the
Remuneraon Policy and the Remuneraon Report. It has full access to all informaon and
may invite senior execuves for claricaons [G1.MDR-P_65e]
The Commiee respects all requirements of the Greek corporate governance framework and
the relevant provisions of Arcles 109 to 114 of Law 4548/2018 [G1.MDR-P_65d]
In accordance with the requirements of the European Sustainability Reporng Standards
(ESRS) issued under the CSRD framework, no sustainability-related performance indicators
are currently included in the variable remuneraon system, and therefore zero (0%) percent
of variable remuneraon is linked to sustainability-related targets or impacts [ESRS2.GOV-
3_29c, ESRS2.GOV-3_29d].
Recognizing the increasing importance of sustainability for long-term value creaon, PPA S.A.
is considering the gradual integraon of sustainability-related indicators into the remuneraon
structure within future review cycles and with a planning horizon up to 2027. This process
considers evolving regulatory expectaons, market pracces and the Companys material
impacts, risks and opportunies.
The Remuneraon Policy is reviewed every four years or earlier if required. The Remuneraon
Commiee submits proposals for approval to the BoD for any amendments prior to submission
to the General Meeng. [ESRS2.GOV-3_29e]. The Policy is publicly available on the Companys
website and available to all stakeholders [G1.MDR-P_65f].

GOV-5 Risk Management and Internal Control System related to
sustainability reporting
As previously stated in the statement, the Company operates an integrated Risk Management
and Internal Control System that supports both nancial and sustainabilityreporng. The
system is based on the principles of the COSO ERM framework and covers operaonal,
nancial, compliance and ESG-related risks. It combines structured risk assessment processes,
clearly dened roles and responsibilies, formal policies and procedures and dedicated
internal control funcons. All parameters collecvely ensure the reliability, completeness, and
consistency of the informaon disclosed in the sustainability statement and the nancial
statements. The Internal Control System is periodically evaluated by an independent external
assessor in line with Greek corporate governance legislaon and the internal Policy for the
Periodic Evaluaon of the Internal Control System and implementaon of Law 4706/2020. The
latest evaluaon, with reference date 31 December 2024, concluded that no material
weaknesses were idened in the design and eecveness of the Internal Control System
[ESRS2.GOV-5_36a].
The scope of the Internal Control System at the company level covers all business units,
corporate funcons, and informaon systems that contribute to nancial and non-nancial
reporng, including processes for collecng, validang, and consolidang sustainability data.

The Internal Operang Regulaon denes dues and responsibilies for all key posions and
ensures an adequate segregaon of dues, parcularly in areas related to nancial and non-
nancial reporng, procurement, risk management and compliance. The Internal Control
System includes controls over the preparaon of nancial statements under IFRS as adopted
by the European Union, as well as controls over the preparaon of interim and annual reports,
which are reviewed by the Audit Commiee and approved in their enrety by the Board of
Directors. The same governance and control environment is progressively extended to the
ESRS sustainability reporng processes, using common denions, documentaon standards
and approval workows for quantave indicators and qualitave disclosures [ESRS2. GOV-
5_36a, ESRS2. GOV-1_22c(ii), ESRS2. GOV-2_26a].
The risk management framework integrates the Company's risk appete and applies to both
business and ESG risks. For all idened risks, a dual assessment is carried out, consisng of
an inherent risk assessment and a residual risk assessment that takes into account the exisng
controls, acons and migaon measures. Risks are recorded in the central Risk Register,
which is updated at least annually. The risk assessment uses a qualitave scale that classies
risks according to their severity and likelihood (low, medium, high, crical), supported by
probability esmates and impact assessments. The methodology combines historical data,
external market and environmental informaon and internal performance data. In addion,
the Company applies Key Risk Indicators that are monitored on a quarterly basis and provide
early warning signals on changes in the Companys exposure to specic risk categories. These
indicators are complemented by Key Opportunity Indicators that are used to monitor the
material opportunies recorded in the Risk Register [ESRS2. GOV-5_36b].
The risk management framework covers a wide range of risk categories that are relevant to
the long-term resilience of the Company, including risks related to weather and climate
change, cyber and informaon security, regulatory and compliance developments,
occupaonal health and safety, geopolical developments, port-security and safety, nancial
risks and reputaonal risks. These risks are managed through documented Policies and
Procedures, investment in infrastructure and technology, business connuity plans, employee
training and targeted migaon acons [ESRS2.GOV-5_36c, ESRS2.GOV-2_26b, ESRS2.GOV-
2_26c].
As far as sustainability is concerned, the main risks relate to data quality and completeness for
ESG metrics, mely alignment with evolving regulatory requirements and the integraon of
ESG risks and opportunies into strategy and planning. These risks are migated by the
establishment of dedicated ESG governance structures, formal documentaon of
methodologies for double materiality and KPI calculaon, engagement of external
sustainability advisors and the gradual integraon of material sustainability topics into the Risk
Register and the Internal Control System. For material ESG issues idened through the double
materiality assessment but not yet recorded in the Risk Register, the Company incorporates
those in the upcoming review cycle. [ESRS2.GOV-5_36c, ESRS2.GOV-5_36d, ESRS2.GOV-
2_26a, ESRS2.GOV-2_26b, ESRS2.GOV-2_26c].

Findings through the risk assessment process and internal controls are systemacally
integrated into internal funcons and decision-making. These results feed into the review and
update of policies, procedures and the Internal Operang Regulaon, the design of correcve
acons and remediaon plans, the seng of relevant targets and indicators and the allocaon
of resources to higher-priority risks. The outcome of the double materiality analysis for the
current year is incorporated into the Risk Register and is used by management and the ESG
Commiee when dening the sustainability strategy, acon plans, and the content of the
sustainability statement. The Internal Audit Department evaluates the Internal Control
System, including the reliability of nancial and non-nancial informaon, and issues reports
with ndings, risk implicaons and recommendaons. These reports are discussed with the
audited units, and the agreed acons and melines are monitored unl closure [ESRS2.GOV-
5_36d, ESRS2.GOV-2_26a, ESRS2.GOV-2_26c].
The Company maintains dedicated governance and control funcons to support the
connuous operaon and monitoring of the Internal Control System and the risk management
framework. These include the Audit Commiee, the Internal Audit Department, the
Regulatory Compliance Unit and the Risk Management Unit, all of which operate in
accordance with approved internal regulaons and have direct reporng lines to Senior
Management. Following the BoD’s reconstuon on 8 July 2025, the Audit Commiee was
also reconstructed with a new composion [ESRS2.GOV-1_22a, ESRS2.GOV-1_22c(ii),
ESRS2.GOV-2_26a].
The Regulatory Compliance Unit is funconally independent and staed with appropriately
qualied personnel holding professional cercaons and receiving ongoing training in
relevant regulatory topics [ESRS2.GOV-5_36a, ESRS2.GOV-1_23a].
Risk management reports, including the Annual Risk Management Report, the Annual Report
of the Audit Commiee and the Annual Compliance Funcon Report, are submied to the
Audit Commiee and subsequently to the BoD for review and approval. The Internal Audit
Department submits quarterly reports to the Audit Commiee, outlining signicant ndings,
progress of remediaon and any audit scope limitaons. Τhe Audit Commiee in turn reports
these maers to the BoD. The results of the external evaluaon of the Internal Control System
and of the Corporate Governance System are presented to the Audit Commiee and the Board
and are summarised in the Corporate Governance Statement of the Annual Financial Report.
In addion, risk-related reporng on ESG topics, including the evoluon of material ESG risks
and opportunies and progress on migaon acons, is communicated to the ESG Commiee
and to the Board of Directors, supporng the oversight of the sustainability strategy and the
preparaon of the ESRS sustainability statement [ESRS2.GOV-5_36e, ESRS2.GOV-2_26a,
ESRS2.GOV-2_26b, ESRS2.GOV-2_26c].

Our Commitment to Environmental Responsibility
European Taxonomy
The Taxonomy of "environmentally sustainable" economic activities is the European Union's
classification system for activities that can, under certain conditions, be considered
environmentally sustainable or activities that facilitate the transition to an environmentally
sustainable economy. Within the Taxonomy legislative framework, companies and
organisations can attract investment to further expand and evolve their sustainable activities,
provided they meet specific criteria.
Through the Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852, the EU has defined the criteria
that determine the level of sustainability of eligible economic activities. Specifically, the
European Union has established the following six environmental objectives, the achievement
of which will promote sustainable development within the Union:
i. Climate change mitigation (CCM)
ii. Climate change adaptation (CCA)
iii. The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources (WTR)
iv. The transition to a circular economy (CE)
v. Pollution prevention and control (PPC)
vi. The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems (BIO)
The Delegated Acts adopted in addition to the Taxonomy Regulation specify certain technical
screening criteria that must be met to demonstrate Taxonomy alignment. At the time of this
report’s publication, eligible activities under Taxonomy are described in two effective
Delegated Acts. In 2021, the EU adopted the first Delegated Act, the "Climate Delegated Act"
(EU) 2021/2139, which presented activities and technical screening criteria for making a
substantial contribution to the achievement of objectives I-II (as presented above), including
criteria for Doing No Significant Harm ("DNSH") to the remaining objectives. Furthermore, in
2023, the second Delegated Act, known as the "Taxo 4" (EU) 2023/2486, was adopted and
published regarding activities that contribute significantly to objectives III-VI (as presented
above).
Alignment with one or more of the objectives implies that an economic activity can be
considered "environmentally sustainable," "transitional," or "enabling" under the EU
Taxonomy. Therefore, to be considered Taxonomy-aligned, an economic activity must fulfill
all of the following criteria:
I. Make a substantial contribution to one or more of the environmental objectives set
out in the Regulation and to comply with the technical screening criteria established
by the Committee for each economic activity in order to achieve the environmental
objectives of the EU Taxonomy.
II. Do no significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives set out in the
Regulation.
III. Be carried out in compliance with the minimum safeguards laid down in the
Regulation.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
PPA continuously monitors its alignment with these criteria and publishes the relevant data
on an annual basis within the non-financial report of its annual financial statements. It should
be noted that the Taxonomy Regulation is still under development (e.g., amendments to the
first Delegated Act, variations in the presentation of KPI templates), which entails
uncertainties during its phased implementation. In the coming years, the EU Taxonomy is
expected to evolve into a comprehensive and more detailed framework. Accordingly, PPA
strives to provide clear and accurate information in accordance with current provisions, taking
into account clarifications from the European Commission, the European Supervisory
Authorities (ESAs), and the Platform on Sustainable Finance, as published in the Official
Journal of the EU.
The provisions of the Taxonomy framework in effect at the time of this report’s publication
require companies within its scope to disclose the amount and percentage of activities that
are eligible, non-eligible, and aligned with all six (6) objectives (including those described in
the "Taxo 4" Delegated Regulation adopted in 2023) as a proportion of their total Turnover,
Capital Expenditure (CapEx), and Operating Expenditure (OpEx), and to conduct relevant
alignment assessments for all such activities. Finally, all quantitative information is
accompanied by specific qualitative disclosures for all objectives (I to VI). PPA has applied
Regulation (EU) 2020/852, as supplemented by Commission Delegated Regulations (EU)
2021/2139, (EU) 2021/2178, (EU) 2023/2485, and (EU) 2023/2486, to identify eligible
activities as of 31 December 2025. In future reporting periods, PPA will adjust
its methodology accordingly, in line with applicable legislative requirements.
Piraeus Port Authority Activities
Having carefully reviewed the developments in the Taxonomy framework that came into
effect in 2023 regarding amendments to existing Delegated Regulations, the introduction of
new Delegated Regulations, and the publication of further clarifications in the Official Journal
of the EU, PPA has reassessed its economic activities to present their eligibility. Based on the
above, the Company concluded that focusing its activities on the environmental objective of
climate change mitigation provides a more representative view of its long-term climate
approach. As a result, the Company has assessed the eligibility of its three (3) activities under
the environmental objective of “Climate Change Mitigation” (CCM) for the financial year 2025.
I. 6.10. Sea and coastal freight transport, vessels for port operations and auxiliary
activities.
II. 6.16. Infrastructure enabling low-carbon water transport.
III. 6.5. Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
Following the eligibility assessment, PPA evaluated the relevant alignment criteria provided
for by the Climate Delegated Act (EU) 2021/2139 and the Environmental Delegated Act (EU)
2023/2486. The results of this assessment are presented in the following section of this
report.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
6.10. Sea and coastal freight transport, vessels for port operations and
auxiliary activities
Taxonomy Activity Description:
The activity includes acquisition, financing, chartering (with or without crew), and operation
of vessels designed and equipped for the transport of freight or for the combined transport of
freight and passengers in sea or coastal waters, whether scheduled or non-scheduled. It also
includes the acquisition, financing, leasing, and operation of vessels required for port
operations and auxiliary activities, such as tugs, mooring boats, pilot boats, salvage vessels,
and icebreakers.
Description of Eligible Activity for PPA S.A.:
PPA S.A. owns and operates three (3) floating docks (ship lifts), which are utilised in
shipbuilding and ship repair processes as auxiliary equipment/infrastructure. These maritime
structures play a critical role in shipbuilding and repair procedures, as they allow for the
complete removal of vessels from the water to ensure the proper execution of relevant works.
The floating docks operate on electricity and batteries, thereby significantly reducing direct
exhaust emissions and contributing to overall greenhouse gas reductions from the repair
process.
Alignment Assessment with the DNSH Technical Screening Criteria for
the Environmental Objective of Climate Change Adaptation
1. Substantial Contribution to Climate Change Mitigation (CCM)
These auxiliary vessels have zero direct CO2 emissions and are used exclusively for supporting
ship repair activities; consequently, they do not perform any activities related to fossil fuels.
2. DNSH: Climate Change Adaptation (CCA)
Specific details regarding the assessment of physical climate risks in relation to PPA S.A.’s
activities are presented below, in the subsection “Physical Climate Risk Assessment (DNSH:
Climate Change Adaptation)”.
3. DNSH Sustainable Use and Protection of Water and Marine Resources (WTR)
The auxiliary vessels, as part of the broader mechanism for the regular operation of port
facilities, have been examined within the framework of the Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) conducted for the port infrastructure. The EIA includes measures to address the
identified climate risks, which have been implemented by PPA S.A. (among others) in the
operations of the auxiliary vessels. Furthermore, these vessels neither intake nor discharge
water from/to any water body.
Page 198 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
4. DNSH Transition to a Circular Economy (CE)
Given that the auxiliary vessels are utilised in ship repair operations, the volume of
operational waste generated by the vessels themselves is minimal. The primary waste streams
produced consist of sludge from tank cleaning, which is collected and transported to
a specialised facility for recovery and alternative management (production of biogas and soil
improvers).
5. DNSH Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC)
Due to their nature and operational mode, the floating docks do not have direct atmospheric
emissions, such as sulfur oxides, particulate matter, or nitrogen oxides. The regulatory
obligation for such emissions applies to ships; therefore, this criterion is not applicable to
auxiliary maritime structures. Furthermore, the floating docks do not discharge sewage,
domestic wastewater, or other liquid waste (petroleum products, oils, etc.). Waste generated
(sewage) categorised under MARPOL Annex IV from the vessels serviced within the docks is
managed under the Port Waste Reception and Handling Plan, collected and processed by the
port’s specialised waste contractor.
6. DNSH Protection and Restoration of Biodiversity and Ecosystems (BIO)
There are no ballast water discharges from the floating docks during their operation, as these
structures are stationary. Consequently, the introduction of non-indigenous species via
biofouling on the hulls of the floating docks is not possible. Discharges of liquid or solid ballast
may occur only during repair or maintenance works on the dock itself. Even in such instances,
the water originates from the same local area, as the floating docks remain in a fixed position.
Noise and vibrations resulting from the operation of all PPA S.A. activities adhere to the
limits established by the DAEC (Decision Approving Environmental Conditions). In accordance
with this decision, a specific Noise Monitoring Programme is implemented at the outer
boundaries of the facilities (boundaries between the port and the urban fabric and other
uses outside the port).
6.16. Infrastructure enabling low-carbon water transport
Taxonomy Activity Description:
The activity includes the construction, modernisation, operation, and maintenance of
infrastructure required for the operation of vessels with zero tailpipe CO2 emissions or for the
port’s own operations, as well as infrastructure specifically intended for transshipment, modal
shift, service facilities, safety, and traffic management systems. Economic activities in this
category do not include the dredging of waterways. An economic activity in this category is
considered an enabling activity, as referred to in Article 10(1), point (i) of Regulation (EU)
2020/852, provided that it meets the relevant technical screening criteria.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Description of Eligible Activity for PPA S.A.:
PPA S.A. owns and operates the Port of Piraeus, the largest port in Greece, as well as the
surrounding area, including facilities and infrastructure for commercial purposes. Within the
scope of its activities, PPA S.A. also undertakes the maintenance and modernisation of these
facilities. The services provided to incoming maritime traffic include, among others, the
provision of shore-side services to moored vessels, as well as the loading, unloading, and
transshipment of goods.
Assessment of alignment with the DNSH (Do No Significant Harm)
technical screening criteria regarding the environmental objective of
Climate Change Adaptation.
1. Substantial Contribution to Climate Change Mitigation (CCM)
PPA S.A. aims to become a key stakeholder in sustainable maritime transport and, as
such, participates in numerous major international programmes. Specifically, the action
portfolio includes the MISSION project, concerning the development of a traffic management
and port call optimisation system. Furthermore, the TRAVELWISE project connects PPA
systems with air and rail operators to improve traffic management. This constitutes a
modernization of the port's operational infrastructure, enabling more effective berthing
management and reducing CO2 emissions by minimizing waiting times. The Super-AlFuel
programme aims to assess the risks associated with the use of ammonia, methanol, and
hydrogen as alternative fuels. The TRIERES programme focuses on the use of green hydrogen
for specific port activities, the GREENLIFE4SEAS programme involves the pilot application of a
sustainable material mix for infrastructure repair, and the TREASURE programme focuses on
developing a pollution reduction methodology. Regarding the Cold Ironing project,
the Company completed the implementation studies and the Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) conducted under the European CIPORT program. Leveraging the results of
CIPORT and EALING, the Company is proceeding with the design and implementation of
Onshore Power Supply (OPS) infrastructure at the cruise and ferry facilities, specifically for
four cruise ship berths at the Themistokleous coast. Detailed information on the above is
presented in the Environmental chapter of the ESG Report. However, since these projects will
contribute to this criterion only upon completion, PPA S.A. has included as aligned only the
turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx), and operating expenditure (OpEx) related to
infrastructure and facilities intended for the transshipment of goods between transport
modes: terminal infrastructure and superstructures for loading, unloading, and transshipment
of goods (in accordance with Criterion 1(d)). Furthermore, the Company confirms that its
infrastructure is not specifically intended for the transport or storage of fossil fuels.
2. DNSH Climate Change Adaptation (CCA)
Specific details regarding the assessment of physical climate risks in relation to PPA S.A.’s
activities are presented below, in the subsection “Physical Climate Risk Assessment (DNSH:
Climate Change Adaptation)”.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
3. DNSH Sustainable Use and Protection of Water and Marine Resources (WTR)
PPA S.A. monitors the achievement of good water status and ecological potential in
accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC by implementing a specific Marine Water Quality
Monitoring Programme across the port's entire jurisdiction, the results of which are assessed
based on the provisions of said Directive. The Company ensures the daily cleaning of all marine
areas under its responsibility from floating debris through a specialised crew. Finally, all
relevant activities of PPA S.A. have been examined in the Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) and are included in the Decision Approving Environmental Conditions (DAEC) of PPA S.A.
4. DNSH Transition to a Circular Economy (CE)
All non-hazardous construction and demolition waste generated by PPA S.A. during new
projects, as well as the maintenance of existing port infrastructure, is prepared for reuse,
recycling, or other forms of material recovery in accordance with applicable legislation. PPA
S.A.’s Decision Approving Environmental Conditions (DAEC) encompasses all construction
works undertaken by PPA S.A. and contains specific provisions and Best Available Techniques
for the environmentally sound management of solid and liquid waste and the transition to a
circular economy.
5. DNSH Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC)
As with waste management, the DAEC governing the construction works undertaken by PPA
S.A. contains specific provisions for pollution prevention and control,
particularly regarding the reduction of noise, vibration, dust, and gaseous pollutant emissions,
etc. Regarding compliance with Appendix C, PPA S.A. falls within the relevant categories and
belongs to the activities that do not lead to the manufacture, placing on the market, or use of
the substances referred to therein. Compliance regarding usage is ensured through the
provisions of the DAEC and the implementation of the National Climate Law (L. 4936/2022,
Art. 20), with verified Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions calculated according to ISO 14064-
1:2018, where the direct emissions category includes emissions from refrigerant gases.
6. DNSH Protection and Restoration of Biodiversity and Ecosystems (BIO)
PPA S.A. does not operate within or in proximity to any biodiversity-sensitive areas or
environmentally protected zones. Relevant potential risks to ecosystems have been examined
in the Environmental Impact Assessment of PPA S.A., and the Company implements a
comprehensive environmental monitoring programme for the port aimed at protecting the
biodiversity of the wider area, in accordance with its Decision Approving Environmental
Conditions (DAEC).
6.5. Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and
light commercial vehicles
Taxonomy Activity Description:
The activity includes the purchase, financing, renting, leasing, and operation of vehicles
classified as categories M1 (passenger cars) and N1 (light commercial vehicles), which fall
within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the
Council, or category L (two-wheel, three-wheel, and four-wheel vehicles).
Page 201 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Description of Eligible Activity for PPA S.A.:
PPA S.A. possesses both owned and leased vehicles of the aforementioned categories, which
are assigned to authorised Company personnel to meet operational requirements. The use of
these vehicles is deemed essential for ensuring the seamless daily operation of port facilities
and the execution of necessary support tasks.
Assessment of alignment with the Technical Screening Criteria for
Substantial Contribution and DNSH regarding the
environmental objective of Climate Change Adaptation
Regarding this activity, no internal verification has been conducted to date concerning the
achievement of the Technical Screening Criteria for Substantial Contribution, as defined in the
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139. Consequently, the Company has
not proceeded with further assessment procedures regarding the relevant Do No Significant
Harm (DNSH) criteria. This approach reflects the current maturity stage of data collection
processes for this eligible and non-aligned activity, with the objective of further strengthening
control mechanisms in future reporting periods.
Assessment of Physical Climate Risks (DNSH Climate Change Adaptation
(“CCM”)
PPA S.A. systematically monitors physical climate risks to its operations, utilizing the most
recent scientific sources. Given that all of its economic activities are carried out within the
same narrow geographical area, Management has determined that a comprehensive Climate
Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA), applied at the organisational level, sufficiently
reflects the risks for individual activities, thereby fulfilling the EU Taxonomy disclosure
requirements.
The Company's climate risk analysis considers RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios from the IPCC
report in its best effort to cover a wide range of probabilities. At the national level, the only
comprehensive national climate change impact and vulnerability assessment report has been
prepared by the Bank of Greece, and PPA S.A. has carefully reviewed its findings and
recommendations. The Company designs and implements targeted measures in accordance
with the proposals of the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (NAS), the Regional
Climate Change Adaptation Plan (RCAP) for Attica, the National Strategy for the protection
and management of the marine environment, and related documents. It is worth noting that
the NAS and RCAP propose actions and measures based on the findings presented in the Bank
of Greece report. Furthermore, the Company incorporates scientific models and forecasts into
its risk analysis, such as reports from the Hellenic National Meteorological Service, in order
to continuously improve the accuracy and reliability of its business plans, as well as to
safeguard long-term successful and sustainable operations.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
PPA S.A. considers its existing climate and environmental risk registry to be sufficient for the
technical screening criteria for climate change adaptation. The process implemented by PPA
S.A. for identifying and addressing physical climate risks follows a series of distinct stages as
presented below:
I. PPA S.A. examines and records climate and environmental risks and proposes
technical solutions and actions through technical studies managed by the Property
and Environment Department of PPA S.A., as described below
II. This information is fed to the Risk Analysis Officer of PPA S.A., who examines all
economic activities that have the potential to be affected within a
reasonable timeframe
III. Identified risks are categorized and prioritized utilizing, among other things, the
technical data provided by the Property and Environment Department according to
the likelihood and severity of their impact on economic activities
IV. The Risk Analysis Officer of PPA S.A. prepares an annual report detailing the actions
to be taken and providing recommendations to Management
V. Based on the results of the risk report, PPA S.A. designs and implements
countermeasures in accordance with national and international recommendations.
Through its existing procedures, PPA S.A. has identified a series of risks, including physical
climate risks to its operations. Following a thorough review of the risk table provided in
Appendix A of the Climate Delegated Regulation, PPA S.A. presents the physical climate risks
within its current portfolio that correlate most directly with the following risks listed in
the Taxonomy Annexes:
1. Changing wind patterns
2. Changing precipitation patterns and types (rain, hail, snow/ice)
3. Storms
As mentioned in the first section, the EU Taxonomy is a dynamic framework within which PPA
S.A. is committed to regularly reassessing developments and its alignment with the relevant
criteria. To this end, all of the Company's activities have been examined in the Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) of PPA S.A., which led to the issuance of the new Decision Approving
Environmental Conditions (DAEC) in September 2023. This decision aims to mitigate and offset
all impacts of PPA S.A.'s activities on the climate and the environment through appropriate
measures.
In compliance with the provisions of the DAEC (Decision Approving Environmental
Conditions), PPA S.A. conducted a Special Climate Resilience and Adaptation Study for the Port
of Piraeus in 2025, in collaboration with the Academy of Athens. This study includes:
Specialization of findings from the Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) regarding the climate vulnerability and adaptation needs of the port, based on
current climate models.
Examination of the consequences of climate change on the port.
Ensuring compatibility with the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan (RCAP) for
Attica.

Identification of points requiring additional actions for the climate resilience of the
project or the adjacent areas affected by it, along with corresponding proposals for
adaptation measures.
On 22 May 2025, the Management of PPA S.A., in the presence of the Minister of Maritime
Affairs and Insular Policy and the Deputy Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection,
presented the initial findings of the aforementioned study during a workshop titled “The
Port of Piraeus and Climate Change”. The session highlighted the actions that establish the
Port of Piraeus as a leader in climate change awareness and readiness.
Additionally, a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction plan is being developed for the
entire port in compliance with the requirements of the National Climate Law.
Finally, it is noted that since 2023, PPA S.A. has been participating in Project ARSINOE, an EU-
funded programme aimed at creating climate-resilient ports through systemic solutions and
innovations.
Upon completion of all the aforementioned actions, PPA S.A. expects a significant upgrade of
its existing climate risk portfolio, as well as the measures taken for the adaptation of its
activities.
Based on the above, PPA S.A. is considered to fulfill the "Do No Significant Harm" (DNSH)
criterion for the Climate Change Adaptation objective.
Minimum Safeguards (MS)
The Taxonomy criterion related to Minimum Safeguards is considered to apply at the Entity
level rather than for each specific economic activity within an organisation. In the absence of
a specific reporting methodology for the topics covered by Minimum Safeguards, PPA S.A.
presents its structured approach to safeguarding social issues within the context of its
operations and value chain.
Having examined the Commission Notice (2023/C 211/01) on the interpretation and
application of the provisions set out in Article 18 of the Taxonomy Regulation, as well as the
Final Report on Minimum Safeguards by the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance referred to
in said Notice, PPA S.A. reports the following information in compliance with the Minimum
Safeguards.
Corporate Responsibility is part of PPA’s DNA. Building relationships of trust and cooperation
with local communities is a priority for PPA’s Management, aiming to create a sustainable
development model that emphasizes environmental protection, charitable activities,
education, and support for athletic and cultural causes, within PPA’s capabilities.
PPA recognizes that the cornerstone for achieving its goals is the effective utilization of its
human resources. With understanding and respect for personnel needs and based on
meritocratic criteria, PPA ensures the continuous training and development of its
employees, taking into account the Company's needs and the protection of corporate
interests.

At PPA, we support the United Nations 2030 Agenda, as expressed through the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). We intend to contribute actively to their achievement by
promoting the prosperity and safety of the population, environmental protection, and the
fight against poverty. Our priority is to achieve those goals directly linked to the activities and
challenges of our sector, as well as all material topics arising from this report.
OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
In 2020, PPA S.A. established the “PPA S.A. Code of Conduct”, which was distributed to all
personnel and members of Management and is available on its website. The PPA Code of
Conduct has been developed based on the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. At
PPA, we consider our people to be our most valuable asset. Therefore, we invest in our human
resources with the aim of maximizing efficiency, organization, and the services provided. We
ensure excellent working conditions, benefits, opportunities, and educational and
development opportunities for our employees. The PPA Code of Conduct was revised and
updated by the Board of Directors in 2024. Additional details regarding the diversity of the
Board of Directors are available in the “Governance Structure and Sustainability
Oversight” section of the Sustainability Statement.
Responsible Risk Management
PPA aims to provide high-quality, high-performance port services safely, contribute to the
local and national economy, and strengthen the port's position through sustainable
development. Various factors, such as internal and external issues, and the needs and
expectations of stakeholders, could be considered potential risks with an impact on human
rights that negatively affect or may affect PPA (e.g., reputational risk) in achieving its goals
and strategy; therefore, it is necessary to identify and address them. PPA’s Management is
committed to ensuring continuous efforts to address all risks associated with PPA’s operations
and to taking all necessary preventive actions. PPA promotes risk-based thinking across all its
departments to protect its values, resources, and reputation, and to effectively manage
uncertainty arising from its internal and external environments. Within this framework, the
risk of Human Rights violations is fully integrated.
Each operational unit bears the responsibility for:
Identifying and recording potential risks related to its activities.
Assessing the probability of occurrence and the impact of each risk.
Defining and implementing appropriate control and prevention measures.
Monitoring and reviewing risks regularly.
The risk assessment for Human Rights Violations is conducted at least annually, and is
coordinated and supported by the Human Resources Department. Simultaneously, the
continuous monitoring and management of relevant risks are reinforced by the
Whistleblowing Policy and the Anti-Harassment Policy, both already in force within the
Organization.
Integrating the risk assessment process into daily operations ensures continuous
improvement, operational resilience, and compliance with the company's regulatory and
strategic requirements.

Respect for Human and Labour Rights
Respecting human rights as well as the rights of its employees, PPA S.A. complies with all
relevant legislation. To this end, the following matters are significant for PPA:
Employee Unions
A total of four (4) primary Unions operate within PPA S.A. (Permanent Employees’ Union,
Technicians & Operators’ Union, Dockworkers’ Union, Supervisors-Foremen’s Union) and one
(1) secondary Union (Federation of Port Employees of Greece). PPA’s Management
maintains close cooperation with employee representatives to ensure the smooth operation
of its services and to promote the common interest of both PPA and its employees.
Diversity, Equal Opportunities, and Non-Discrimination
PPA’s core principles include promoting equal opportunities and protecting diversity. PPA’s
Management does not tolerate any form of discrimination in hiring or personnel selection,
remuneration, training, assignment of work duties, or any other labour activities. PPA respects
each employee's diversity and does not tolerate behaviors that may lead to discrimination in
any form.
At PPA, the experience, personality, academic background, qualifications, performance, and
skills of each individual are the primary factors determining selection for more complex and
demanding positions of responsibility. Characteristics related to gender, age, religion, origin,
color, physical particularities, or beliefs are not grounds for preference or exclusion. In this
way, we promote a climate of equality, rooted in respect for diversity and human
dignity. Simultaneously, we have implemented three key tools for safeguarding equal
opportunities and diversity. Furthermore, we provide our employees with a range of
additional benefits, in accordance with the applicable Company Collective Labour Agreement
(ECLA), to meet their medical and financial needs, thereby contributing to their health and
well-being and that of their families. These benefits demonstrate our willingness to invest in
our employees and our commitment to providing a quality work environment.
Occupational Health and Safety
At PPA, we recognize the importance of providing safe working conditions and environments
for our personnel, as well as safe transit and traffic conditions for all stakeholders, associates,
passengers, etc. Employee safety at work is a top priority and an essential prerequisite for our
operations. As an employer, PPA is obligated to take all appropriate measures to protect the
safety and health of employees in the workplace.
At PPA, we ensure the hygiene and safety conditions for our employees and the areas under
their responsibility. To this end, we establish health and safety rules through circulars,
announcements, and instructions.
Stakeholder Engagement
As a business organization that priorites transparency and the continuous communication of
its actions and initiatives, we interact systematically with our Stakeholders. We recognize as
stakeholders those groups that, directly or indirectly, affect and are affected by our activity,
belonging either to PPA’s internal environment (shareholders, employees) or to the external
environment (suppliers, customers, Local Community representatives, NGO representatives).

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Our primary concern is maintaining continuous, open communication with our stakeholders
to build mutual trust and excellent cooperation. Communication and dialogue with each of
our key stakeholders are particularly important for identifying their needs and expectations,
which are essential for PPA’s operations, and for continuously improving our relationship with
them. Please find more information in the "General Disclosures" section and the "Stakeholder
Engagement" subsection of the Sustainability Statement. In comparison, the "Our People"
section contains more information regarding negative impacts on people, namely the
Company's employees and affected communities.
Corruption
PPA demonstrates zero tolerance for corruption and continuously works to raise awareness
among its employees regarding the minimization of corruption risks. Anti-corruption
measures are primarily included in the "Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Code," which all
employees are required to follow. Furthermore, PPA has had zero incidents of non-compliance
with anti-corruption legislation. For more information, please refer to the “RESPONSIBLE
BUSINESS CONDUCT” section.
Taxation
Taxation is treated as a top priority and is overseen by the highest governing bodies of PPA
S.A. To this end, we have implemented adequate tax risk management measures, as described
in the OECD Guidelines covering taxation. Furthermore, PPA has had zero incidents of non-
compliance with tax legislation. Finally, in accordance with applicable national legislation, PPA
receives an annual Tax Certificate following a tax audit conducted by its appointed auditor
during the statutory annual audit. More information on this topic is provided in the “Tax
Compliance Report” section (Note 9).
Competition Rules
PPA S.A. and its Senior Management are committed to observing and promoting fair
competition practices across all its activities and through the daily professional conduct of all
its employees. The Internal Audit function ensures compliance with applicable national and
international competition regulations throughout the Organisation. In contrast, the
Compliance Department ensures compliance with applicable competition rules in the
provision of our services. More information is presented in the Organisation’s annual
Corporate Responsibility Report: https://www.olp.gr/en/corporate-responsibility/social-
responsibility.

Qualitative Information
Accounting Policy
I. Proportion of Annual Turnover
The proportion of aligned and eligible economic activities in the total turnover was calculated
based on the net turnover from the provision of services corresponding to Taxonomy activities
(numerator), divided by the total net turnover (denominator), both referring to the
2025 financial year. Specifically, the total turnover of PPA S.A. is presented in the “Revenue”
item of the “Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 December 2025” in
PPA’s “Annual Financial Report”.
II. Proportion of Annual Capital Expenditure (CapEx)
The proportion was calculated based on the capitalised expenditures incurred for additions to
assets or processes associated with eligible and aligned economic activities. It
includes Taxonomy-eligible and aligned capital expenditures (numerator) divided by total
capital expenditures (denominator). Total capital expenditure includes additions to property,
plant, and equipment, as well as intangible assets and right-of-use assets during the
fiscal year, before depreciation and any impairment. Total capital expenditure is determined
based on the Statement of Financial Position and is the sum of the following chapters of PPA
S.A.’s "Annual Financial Report": the "Additions" line in "Property, Plant & Equipment" (Note
4), the "Additions" line in "Leases" (Note 5), and the "Additions" line in "Intangible Assets"
(Note 7).
III. Proportion of Annual Operating Expenditure (OpEx)
The proportion was calculated from operating expenditures for the repair and maintenance
of assets or processes associated with eligible and aligned economic activities. It
includes Taxonomy-eligible and aligned operating expenditures (numerator) divided by total
operating expenditures for repair and maintenance, as well as short-term leases of less than
12 months (denominator). The EU Taxonomy definition of operating expenditure includes
research and development (R&D) costs, building renovation costs, maintenance and repair,
and any other direct expenditures related to the day-to-day servicing of property, plant, and
equipment.
The accounting principles used for the preparation of the table presented above are described
in Note 3 "Significant Accounting Policies" of the "Annual Financial Report" as of 31 December
2025. The financial report of PPA S.A. has been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU). To avoid double-
counting in the calculation of the numerator for the Turnover, CapEx, and OpEx KPIs, for
activities that contribute substantially to more than one environmental objective, the
relevant KPIs are allocated to only one objective.

Relevant information
I. Regarding turnover
PPA’s eligible turnover for 2025 amounts to 60%, remaining essentially stable compared to
the 60% reported in 2024. This eligibility stems primarily from floating docks and cargo
handling activities. Of this total, 35% is considered Taxonomy-aligned, arising specifically from
the operation of floating docks and cargo management that meet the Technical Screening
Criteria for Climate Change Mitigation, compared with 36% in 2024. The steady ratio of aligned
to eligible turnover indicates a consistent performance of the Company's sustainable
activities. In contrast, the remaining eligible turnover (24%) represents infrastructure that is
eligible but not yet aligned.

II. Regarding Capital Expenditure (CapEx)
Taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure showed a slight increase to 86% in 2025, compared to
83% in 2024. This change is attributed to expenditures on floating docks, which recorded a
significant increase of approximately 2%, compared with the nearly zero alignment rate in
2024. The steady ratio of aligned to eligible CapEx indicates a balanced investment strategy in
the Company’s sustainable activities, with the remaining eligible CapEx (82%) involving
infrastructure that is eligible but not yet aligned.

III. Regarding Operating Expenditure (OpEx)
Taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure amounted to 49% in 2025, up from 45% in 2024,
reflecting the operational costs of maintaining eligible port infrastructure and floating docks.
Within this category, 22% of total operating expenditure is classified as aligned, compared to
15% in 2024, covering the maintenance of assets that already meet the Substantial
Contribution and Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criteria. The increase in aligned and the
corresponding shift in eligible OpEx is directly linked to the maintenance needs and repair
cycles required by the floating docks and infrastructure. Additionally, the 4% increase in
eligible OpEx stems from maintenance performed on the Company’s eligible vehicles during
the year.

It is noted that during the current reporting period, a reclassification of amounts related to
the Company's eligible activities was performed. This adjustment was deemed necessary for
the more accurate allocation of economic sizes between Activity "6.10. Sea and coastal
freight water transport, vessels for port operations and auxiliary activities" and Activity "6.16.
Infrastructure enabling low-carbon water transport," due to an inadvertent data mapping
error. This adjustment restores the accuracy of the KPIs (Turnover, CapEx, OpEx) per activity
for the previous reporting year, ensuring the correct reporting of each activity's contribution
based on the definitions of the Taxonomy Regulation.
The information presented in this report complies with the requirements of the Regulation
and the Delegated Acts issued up to 31 December 2025, without the application of the
simplifications introduced by Regulation (EU) 2026/73.The relevant guidelines allow for some
interpretation and are continually adapted to the needs of the process. Taking these factors
into account, PPA S.A. pays close attention to relevant developments and adjusts
its approach accordingly, based on the assumptions and applicable methodology.
Activities related to nuclear energy and mineral gases
PPA is not involved in any of the activities listed in the table above and, therefore, does not

Our Environmental Management Approach
Environmental responsibility remains a fundamental pillar of PPA S.A.s operaons, as the Port
of Piraeus constutes a strategic reference point for commercial and passenger ows in the
southeastern Mediterranean. Since publishing its rst Sustainability Report, under CSRD
framework, in 2024, the Company has connued to strengthen its environmental governance
mechanisms and enhanced its processes for assessing impacts, risks and opportunies,
supporng the transion toward improved environmental performance and climate resilience.
In 2025, the Double Materiality Assessment was updated and rened.
As a result of this process, the Company idened the most material environmental impacts,
risks and opportunies (IROs) and integrated relevant acon into the annual environmental
plan.

Our Approach to Manage PPA S.A. Material Impacts, Risks, and
Opportunities (IROs)
Climate Change
Climate change aects the operaonal connuity, infrastructure performance and long-term
resilience of PPA S.A. The port is exposed to physical hazards such as sea-level rise, extreme
temperatures and intense rainfall, which may impact vessel servicing, cargo handling, crical
infrastructure and the safety of employees and passengers.
Recognizing that climate change is both an environmental and an operaonal/economic factor,
the Company has conducted a comprehensive assessment of physical climate risks in line with
the Naonal Climate Change Law and the ESRS. The assessment supports strategic planning,
future infrastructure design and long-term resilience.
Assessment of Physical Climate Risks
Climate change is an increasingly signicant factor inuencing port infrastructure and the daily
operaons of Piraeus Port. To fully understand the potenal impacts, PPA S.A. completed in
2025 an updated resilience and vulnerability assessment covering all acvies and crical
assets of the port area, following the methodological requirements of the Naonal Climate
Change Law and the Regional Adaptaon Plan for Aca (PeSPKA) [E1-IRO-1-AR-11c, E1_SBM-
3_19_a]. The analysis includes all of the Company's infrastructure and acvies but does not
include its value chain. [E1_IRO-1_20_b].

The assessment was conducted in the framework of the “Climate Change Vulnerability and
Adaptaon Study of Piraeus portin collaboraon with the Academy of Athens. The scope of
the study is as follows:
Analysing climate changes using models and scenarios aligned with the Aca Regional Climate
Change Adaptaon Plan (PeSPKA).
Assessing short- and long-term impacts of climate change on port infrastructure and
operaons, using the latest climate data. Vulnerability is evaluated against key climate risks
such as sea-level rise, wave acon, ooding, strong winds, and extreme temperatures.
Idenfying areas requiring addional climate-resilience measures, proposing acons,
esmang implementaon costs, and exploring potenal synergies with other stakeholders.
Checking the compability of proposed measures with the Aca PeSPKA [E1_SBM-3_19_b].
The analysis incorporates climate parameters derived from internaonally recognized climate
models and the IPCC Representave Concentraon Pathways (RCPs), combined with high-
resoluon projecons tailored to the port’s geographical seng. Specically, the analysis used
the RCP4.5 scenario (an intermediate or migaon scenario) and the RCP8.5 scenario (a
scenario of drasc increase in GHG emissions or a no-acon scenario).
Methodology
The assessment used seven EURO-CORDEX simulaons of 11 km spaal resoluon,
subsequently downscaled to a ner grid of approximately 250 meters to capture localized
climate dynamics. Projecons covered the period 1970–2100, and mean values of climate
variables and indices were calculated for four me horizons:
1986–2005 (baseline period)
2041–2060 (short term)
2061–2080 (medium term)
2081–2100 (long term) [E1_IRO-1_AR11_b, Ε1_SBM-3_AR7_b]
The Company's assets and business acvies were reviewed to assess their exposure to
climate risks across all the above me horizons. [E1_IRO-1_AR11_a]
The analysis evaluated both chronic and acute climac changes, focusing on temperature,
humidity, precipitaon, wind, wave height and sea-level rise. These parameters were assessed
using a combinaon of:
Quantave analysis of climate model outputs to evaluate likelihood and magnitude
Qualitave assessment of potenal impacts on port infrastructure and operaons
Risk categorizaon, based on:
1. Likelihood (high, medium, low)
2. Impact severity (extreme, signicant, moderate, minor)
3. Duraon (short- or long-term eects)
The categorizaon process supports decision-making and helps priorize adaptaon
measures.
The climate scenarios used for the physical vulnerability analysis were: [Ε1_IRO-1_21]

RCP8.5 Scenario
The RCP8.5 scenario is a high-emissions pathway characterized by rapidly increasing
greenhouse gas concentraons, expanded fossil fuel use and accelerang land-use pressures.
It represents a “worst-case” situaon, with projects temperature increases of approximately
3.7°C for the period 2081–2100 compared with 1986–2005. [E1_IRO-1_AR11_d]
RCP4.5 Scenario
The RCP4.5 scenario is a stabilizaon pathway in which emissions peak around 2040 and
decline thereaer, supported by reforestaon eorts, increasing renewable energy use and
reduced reliance on fossil fuels. The projected temperature rise is approximately 1.8°C by
20812100.
Key Physical Climate Risks Idened
PPA S.A.s Specic Study on Climate Resilience highlights the Company's ability to adapt its
strategy and business model to the impacts of climate change in the short, medium, and long
term. In this context, specic climate change adaptaon acons have been planned (see next
paragraph), through which the connuous adaptaon of PPA S.A.'s strategy and business
model to changing climac condions is supported.
In the short term, the Company integrates the ndings of the Specic Study on Climate
Resilience of PPA S.A. into operaonal planning, the monitoring of crical physical climate risks
and the determinaon of immediate adaptaon measures for its acvies and infrastructure.
In the medium term, the Company may adjust individual technical projects, infrastructure,
operaonal processes and investment priories, in order to limit exposure to physical climate
risks and ensure business connuity. In the long term, the Company maintains the ability to
revise planning, upgrade or redesign infrastructure and adapt the way port services are
developed and operated, with the aim of maintaining the resilience of its business model
under changing climac condions. [E1_SBM-3_AR8_b]
For example, the acon "Development of a cooperaon network with academic and research
instuons" provides for systemac cooperaon with scienc and research bodies to
monitor climate change developments, ulizing new scienc data and regularly updang
individual adaptaon acons. Through this process, the Company ensures the mely review
and adjustment of its acons and planning, strengthening the long-term resilience of its
acvies and infrastructure to the impact of climate change.
The secon "Climate Adaptaon Acons, Planning, and Ongoing Iniaves" presents the
adaptaon acons designed to strengthen the Company's ability to adapt, and where
necessary, readjust its strategy and business model to climate change condions in the short,
medium, and long term.
The results of the assessment indicate that the most signicant climate-related risks aecng
the Company are the following two physical climate risks (climate-related physical risks). PPA
S.A.s Specic Study on Climate Resilience examines only physical risks, while transional risks
will be assessed separately, to complete this assessment by 2028.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
According to the ndings of the Specic Study on Climate Resilience, there is uncertainty
regarding the likelihood of certain climate risks occurring due to the nature of climate
projecons and related scenarios. This uncertainty is addressed using expert judgement,
based on the best available informaon and data, including stascs, event logs, simulaons,
and scienc studies, as well as knowledge gained from consultaons with relevant
stakeholders. For this reason, the study examines exible and adapve risk management
measures, such as systemac monitoring of relevant phenomena and the implementaon of
technical measures when condions exceed predened crical thresholds. [E1_SBM-3_18,
E1_SBM-3_19_c]
1. Increase of average summer temperature and increase of heatwaves, leading to higher
energy and water consumpon, challenging outdoor working condions, reduced service
capacity during peak passenger periods and addional strain on electromechanical
equipment. Milder winters, however, may reduce heang demand and improve working
condions.
2. Rise of average sea level, which may cause damages to port infrastructures and pose
challenges for berthing operaons.
All risks appear under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, though their intensity becomes signicantly
more pronounced under RCP8.5 toward the end of the century.
According to the results of the Climate Change Study, the likelihood and ming of certain
physical climate risks remain uncertain, parcularly in the medium and long term. The analysis
is based on climate model scenarios and available scienc data, but future developments
may dier due to uncertaines related to global emissions, technological developments, and
macroeconomic condions.
To address these uncertaines, the Company adopts an adapve approach, which includes
connuous monitoring of crical indicators, regular updang of the analysis, and
implementaon of adjustment measures when predetermined risk thresholds are exceeded.
Assets and business acvies that are considered to be exposed to signicant natural climate
risks are taken into account in the Company's strategic planning, in infrastructure investment
planning and in the denion of exisng and future migaon and adaptaon measures, as
described in the secon “Climate Adaptaon Acons”. [E1_SBM-3_AR8_a]
Climate Adaptation Actions, Planning and Ongoing Initiatives
In 2024, no specic adaptaon measures had yet been idened in the context of the climate
resilience study. Following the compleon of the “Specic Study on Climate Resilience" in
2025, PPA S.A. formulated for the rst me a targeted set of adaptaon acons aimed at
ensuring adequate resilience to extreme and chronic climate events. Strengthening the port's
resilience is considered crical for both its connued smooth operaon and the protecon of
its crical infrastructure.

At the same me, PPA S.A., as part of its overall strategy for decarbonizaon and reducon of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is developing a special "Acon Plan for the Reducon of
Greenhouse Gas Emissions" that will cover the enre port area. This plan is currently in its nal
stages of development and is expected to be completed and published in 2026.
In the context of the preparaon of the above-menoned Acon Plan measures and specic
targets for greenhouse gas emissions in the port area are being examined; however, they have
not yet been nalized and remain under development. [E1 IRO-1, AR 11 (c)]
Indicavely, among the inial direcons that have been proposed are the upgrading of the
energy eciency of the facilies, the priorizaon of intervenons in the building stock, the
replacement of convenonal lighng with LED lighng, the integraon of renewable energy
soluons and smart energy management systems, as well as the improvement of the energy
management of building and electromechanical infrastructure. These measures are at a stage
of further specicaon and will be incorporated into the nal Acon Plan aer its compleon.
[E1-1_16, E1-1_AR18]
The acons presented in this secon primarily concern the adaptaon of the port to climate
change. However, some of them are also expected to contribute indirectly to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, while supporng the Company's broader goals of reducing its
carbon footprint. [MDR-A_68_a]
The short-term acons to be implemented between 2027 and 2035 include: [E1_SBM-

The “Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptaon Studyis the main acon implemented and
completed by the Company in 2025 in relaon to climate change. At this stage, the study has
been submied to the Ministry of Environment and Energy for review. The study examines the
climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunies that may aect the Companys port facilies
and was completed and submied to the Ministry of Environment in 2025.

Migaon and adaptaon acons are planned across short, medium and long-term horizons.
PPA S.A. has already commied €169,000 to support the implementaon of the study. As of
the reporng date, these commied resources pertain exclusively to the support of the Study.
The above expenditure relates exclusively to the preparaon and support of the “Climate
Change Resilience and Adaptaon Study” and, as at the reporng date, is not associated with
implemented investments or physical adaptaon projects. As such, the relevant expenditure
concerns the current stage of preparaon and assessment and is linked to the relevant
operang expense items / fees and third-party expenses, as presented in the Financial
Statements for the year [E1-3_29_c_i]. As at the reporng date, the above expenditure does
not correspond to an implemented investment project or eligible technical intervenon and,
therefore, is not directly linked to the key performance indicators (KPIs) required under
Commission Delegated Regulaon (EU) 2021/2178. Any future linkage with relevant CapEx or
OpEx indicators will be assessed at the stage of specicaon and implementaon of the
individual acons foreseen by the Study. [E1-3_29_c_ii]
The future nancial instruments for implemenng the adaptaon acons proposed by the
Study will be specied aer the compleon of the Study's evaluaon by the Ministry of

To ensure connuous monitoring of such climate-related developments, PPA S.A. parcipates
in the EU-funded project ARSINOE (Climate-resilient regions through systemic soluons and
innovaons). The project idenes climate-related risks and opportunies and examines
measures that can enhance the ports resilience to the impacts of climate change.
Climate Change Management, Energy, & GHG Emissions
Energy management and GHG emissions constute a key priority for PPA S.A. In this context,
the Company implements a cered ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System and, in
accordance with the Naonal Climate Law, calculates its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions based
on ISO 14064-1:2018 since 2022. In 2025, the Company also calculated the signicant
categories of Scope 3 emissions in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018. [E1_IRO-1_20_a]
As part of the Double Materiality Assessment process and the annual emissions inventory, the
Company conducts systemac screening of all its acvies, facilies, and business plans, with
the aim of idenfying exisng and potenal future sources of greenhouse gas emissions in its
acvies and along the value chain. The process includes recording direct emissions from fuel
consumpon and equipment operaon, indirect emissions from purchased electricity (Scope
2), and an assessment of relevant Scope 3 categories associated with moored vessels,
employee commung, and business travel. [E1_IRO-1_20_a]
The assessment of actual and potenal impacts on climate change is based on the quantave
calculaon of total greenhouse gas emissions (tCO₂e), the analysis of the main sources of
emissions, and the assessment of each category's contribuon to the Company's total carbon
footprint.

This process idenes the areas with the largest contribuon to emissions, which are taken
into account when designing reducon and energy opmisaon measures. This assessment
focuses mainly on physical risks, which are examined in the context of the Company's Climate
Change Study. As the dedicated climate resilience study of PPA S.A. was completed at the end
of the reporng period and is under evaluaon by the Ministry of Environment, the crical
assumpons related to climate are not currently reected in the nancial statements [E1 IRO-
1, AR 15]. During the reporng period, the Company has not yet completed a disnct
assessment of transion risks related to climate change (transion risks), such as risks
associated with regulatory developments, technological changes, changes in the market or
demand and other factors related to the transion to a low-carbon economy. The assessment
of these transion risks is expected to be examined separately at a later stage, with a
compleon horizon up to 2028. [E1_IRO-1_AR9_a], [E1_IRO-1_AR9_b]
Regarding alignment with the EU Taxonomy criteria, the Company discloses the relevant
nancial indicators as required by Regulaon 2021/2139. However, a specic capital
expenditure or operaonal expenditure plan for full acvity alignment with the Taxonomy
criteria has not been developed for the current period. [E1-1_16_e]
At the same me, the Company is in the nal stage of preparing the Acon Plan for the
Migaon of Greenhouse Gas Emissions” for the enre port area with the goal to reduce the
overall GHG emissions of the Companys acvies. The analysis is centered around measures
and acons that reduce GHG emissions, such as energy eciency, electricaon, fuel
switching, and use of renewable energy etc., by 2030.
The Company does not fall under the exempons of Regulaon (EU) 2020/1818 and is
assessed based on the European alignment indicators with the Paris Agreement. [E1_1_16_g]
To ensure data reliability and process alignment a uniform methodology for both carbon
footprint measurement and target seng for reducing emissions is applied. During the
reporng period, quantave greenhouse gas emission reducon targets are being developed
and will be nalized aer the compleon and approval of the Acon Plan for the Reducon of
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Once nalized, the targets will be disclosed in absolute values
(tCO₂e and/or as a percentage of the base year) and, where applicable, in terms of intensity,
and will be specied for Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3, either separately or in combinaon.
[E1-4_34_a, E1-4_34_b]
Addionally, a climate transion plan has not yet been developed, therefore locked-in
emissions are not calculated or reported [E1-1_16_d]. The emission targets set to date are not
based on a pathway that limits global warming to 1.5°C [E1-4_34_e], nor was climate scenario
analysis used to determine them [E1-4_AR30_c]. The Company has set 2028 as the reference
year, when it will assess the possibility of developing a formal transion plan [E1-1_17].
During the reference year, the Company did not make any CapEx investments related to coal,
oil, natural gas, or energy producon acvies (NACE B.05, C.19, D.35.1, D.35.3, G.46.71) [E1-

During the reporting period, PPA S.A. has not yet finalized measurable, outcome-oriented and
time-bound targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the improvement of
energy efficiency. The relevant targets are under development and will be further specified
following the completion and approval of the “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Action
Plan”, from which both the base year and the corresponding quantitative targets, as well as
the individual actions for their achievement, are expected to be derived. As a result, during
the current reporting period, the disclosure requirements relating to specific quantitative
characteristics of targets are not yet applicable, as no final, measurable, outcome-oriented
and time-bound targets have been set. [MDR-T_81_b_i, MDR-T_81_b_ii, MDR-T_80_h]
Actions Related to Own Operations
PPA S.A. implements a series of energy acons focused on the gradual increase of renewable
energy parcipaon in the Companys energy mix, the reducon of electricity consumpon
and the improvement of overall energy performance. These iniaves fall within the
framework of the ESRS obligaons and the requirements for climate change migaon. [MDR-

The Company operates a 430 kWp photovoltaic plant within the Container Terminal, which
channels the electricity generated to the Hellenic Electricity Distribuon Network. The
electricity generated by this staon contributes to increasing the producon of electricity from
renewable sources in the naonal energy system. For the exisng installed capacity, the
esmated annual renewable energy producon corresponds to emissions avoidance of 232 t
CO₂e according to locaon-based factors and 171 t CO₂e according to market-based factors, at
the level of the electricity system.
Producon capacity is expected to increase by 2030 through the expansion of the exisng
facility, which will provide an addional 1,000 kWp of capacity, bringing the total to 1,430 kWp.
The provision is currently under study. The facility is expected to generate around 2,030 MWh
of electricity per year, thereby strengthening the contribuon of renewable energy sources to
the energy system. [MDR-A_68_a, MDR-A_68_b, MDR-A_68_c]
Based on esmates, the total installed capacity of 1,430 kWp could correspond to the
avoidance of approximately 770 t CO₂e per year according to locaon-based factors and 568 t
CO₂e according to market-based factors, at the level of the electricity system. The addional
contribuon aributable exclusively to the 1,000 kWp expansion is esmated at 538 t CO₂e
(locaon-based) and 397 t CO₂e (market-based) according to the Ministry of Environment and
Energy's latest emission factors. [E1-3_29_b]
The above esmates take into account both exisng electricity producon from the 430 kWp
photovoltaic system and the planned installaon of a new system by 2030. These calculaons
are based on the assumpon of stable electricity consumpon and emission factors for
imported energy throughout the reporng period. [MDR-T_80_f]
The electricity generated by PPA SA's photovoltaic systems is fed into the naonal electricity
grid and is not consumed by the Company itself during the reporng period. During the
sameperiod, the Company did not consume energy from nuclear sources; therefore, total
nuclear energy consumpon was zero (0). In addion, during the reporng period, the
Company did not consume renewable energy or other forms of energy beyond those reected
in the relevant table in secon E1-5. Informaon on the energy mix and energy consumpon
is presented in detail in secon E1-5 of this Report. Furthermore, PPA S.A. does not implement
projects involving the removal, capture or storage of greenhouse gases (E1-7), nor does it
apply an internal carbon pricing system (E1-8). [E1-5_37_b, E1-5_37_ci, E1-5_37_ciii, E1-

In parallel, the Company is preparing the Acon Plan for the Migaon of Greenhouse Gas
Emissions”, which covers all port facilies and aims to dene coherent measures for reducing
emissions by 2030. [MDR-A_68_a], [MDR-A_68_b] The study incurred operang expenses
totaling €25,500, as presented in the “Expenses” table [MDR-A_69_a], [MDR-A_69_b]. Given
that the Acon Plan for the Migaon of Greenhouse Gas Emissions” is sll under
preparaon, as the reporng date it is not yet possible to esmate reliably the amount of
future nancial resources that will be required for the implementaon of the proposed
acons. The relevant cost and funding esmates will be determined aer the implementaon
and nalizaon of the plan and of the individual measures to be proposed. [MDR-A_69_c].
The Acon Plan examines a series of decarbonizaon iniaves, such as energy eciency,
electricaon, transion to other types of fuels and the expanded use of renewable energy
sources. The Acon Plan is expected to be completed within the rst half of 2026.
Through the Acon Plan specic targets for the reducon of greenhouse gas emissions and
specic acons for achieving those targets will be dened. During the reporng period, there
is not yet any available quaned esmate of the amount of future nancial resources that
will be required for the implementaon of the acons under the Acon Plan for the
Reducon of Greenhouse Gas Emissions”, which is sll under preparaon. The relevant
esmate will be made aer the compleon and nalizaon of the Plan and of the individual
measures to be proposed. [MDR-A_69_c]
Moreover, PPA S.A.s Masterplan (Government Gazee 32D/2023) provides for the design and
renovaon of building infrastructure in accordance with energy eciency and green building
standards (LEED, ELGBC, DGNB), which will further contribute to the reducon of Scope 2
emissions and improve the Company’s overall environmental performance. [MDR-A_68_a],
[MDR-A_68_b] Given that the Acon Plan for the Migaon of Greenhouse Gas Emissions”
is sll under preparaon, there are currently no available esmates regarding the amount of
future financial resources that will be required for the implementation of the proposed
actions. The relevant cost estimates will be determined after the completion and finalization
of the plan and of the individual measures to be proposed. [MDR-A_69_c]

With regard to the completion time horizons of the main actions, it is noted that:
I. the Action Plan for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions” is expected to be
completed within the first half of 2026,
II. the interventions arising from the Masterplan will be implemented gradually, depending on
the maturity and approval of the individual projects,
III. the existing operational optimization actions are already being implemented and continue
on an ongoing basis, and
IV. the actions related to the potential use of artificial intelligence tools are under evaluation
and, if approved, will be included at a later stage of implementation. [MDR-A_68_c]
At the operaonal level, PPA S.A. implements a range of energy- and fuel-saving pracces,
including algorithmic opmizaon of container-terminal operaons (CATOS), the gradual
replacement of lighng with LED xtures and the procurement of energy-ecient equipment
where technically feasible.
In addion, the Company is examining the potenal use of digital and AI-supported tools to
enhance operaonal and energy performance. Such technologies may support improved
monitoring of equipment eciency, opmizaon of terminal operaons and the early
idencaon of “abnormal”/elevated consumpon paerns. These iniaves are intended to
complement PPA S.A.s broader acons under its GHG Migaon Plan.
The Company also supports emission reducons beyond its own boundaries through acons
that support port users in their own eorts to reduce emissions. In this context, the Company,
through its parcipaon in an EU-co-funded project (CIPORT) has prepared technical,
environmental and nancial studies for ve passenger-ship berths and four cruise berths. OPS
infrastructure is expected to signicantly reduce fossil fuel consumpon and emissions during
berth periods and contribute to the migaon of the ports GHG and air pollutant emissions.
[E1-3_29_a]
Project nancing is covered by both EU and Company funds, with PPA S.A. contribung
approximately 50% of eligible costs. PPA S.A.s budget allocaon amounts to €170,000 for the
CIPORT project, with the Company covering 50% of eligible expenditures. [MDR-A_69_a],
[MDR-A-69_b], [MDR-A_69_c, E1-3_AR21]
The implementaon of the above iniaves is subject to the availability and allocaon of
appropriate nancial and technical resources, as well as the integraon of the relevant
technological soluons into the Company's exisng operaonal framework.
In addion, the Company is working on the development of liqueed natural gas (LNG)
bunkering services for cruise vessels, as a rst step towards providing alternave fuel
bunkering services to vessels [MDR-A_68_b, E1-3_29_a].

This acon is expected to support the gradual transion of the port towards lower-carbon
soluons and to contribute to the Company’s broader goals for reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. Liqueed Natural Gas is considered a transional fuel towards decarbonization, and
its bunkering requires research and the implementaon of specic procedures to ensure safe
operaon. The meline for decision-making on related acons is expected within 2026. [MDR-
A_68_c]
Energy Efficiency and Carbon Footprint
PPA S.A. relies on actual electricity and fuel consumpon data, drawn from supplier invoices
and from available measuring equipment installed within the facilies. These data are used to
record and disnguish consumpon by facility, operaon and type of equipment, ensuring
accuracy in data collecon and subsequent processing.
For the conversion of fuel consumption into energy and GHG emissions, the official emission
factors and the relevant methodologies issued by the Ministry of Environment and Energy are
applied, aligned with the framework of the national climate change law. The emission factors
used for the following calculaons of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are based on the
published factors of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy for the year 2024. These
calculaons will be updated aer the publicaon of the corresponding factors for the year
2025 by the Ministry of Environment and Energy and will be subject to external vericaon in
accordance with ISO 14064-1. It should be noted that, as part of this process, there may be
minor dierences in the inially esmated results due to the updang of emission factors or
improvements in the available acvity data. Upon compleon of the external vericaon, the
updated data will be reected in the Company's subsequent Report. [E1-6_AR_39_b], E1-

Category 3.3: Emissions from business travel
Category 3.5: Emissions from employee commung
Category 5.1: Emissions or removals from the product use stage
These categories were calculated for both 2024 and 2025, remaining essenally unchanged in
terms of their scope. However, for 2025, the Company adjusted the coding of emission categories,
switching from the GHG Protocol classicaon to the corresponding coding provided for in ISO
14064-1:2018. During the current reporng period, PPA SA focused mainly on updang and
improving the quality and completeness of the data used for the calculaon of Scope 3 emission
categories. The remaining Scope 3 emission categories were assessed as not relevant, primarily
based on qualitave assessment and documented professional judgment, taking into account PPA
S.A.s operaonal prole, the nature of its acvies, and the relevance of each category to port
operaons. This assessment was not based on a full quantave esmaon for all other
categories. [E1-6_AR_46_i]

The GHG emissions calculaons were carried out in accordance with ESRS requirements and
ISO 14064-1:2018. [E1-6_44, E1-6_48_a, E1-6_49_a, E1-6_49_b, E1-6_50, E1-6_51, E1-
6_52_a, E1-6_52_b, E1-6_AR_41, E1-6_AR_46_d, E1-6_AR_50, E1-6_53, MDR-T_80_j, MDR-
M_75].
The Company does not parcipate in regulated emissions trading schemes [E1-6_48_b], nor
does it use guarantees of origin or other convenonal means for Scope 2 emissions. [E1-
6_AR_45_d]
No biofuels are used in the Company’s acvies or in the reported Scope 3 categories,
therefore biogenic emissions are considered insignicant. During the reporng period, there
were no signicant changes in the denion of the reporng enty or in the scope of the
upstream and downstream value chain of the Company compared to the previous reporng
period. Therefore, there are no eects from "subsequent signicant events or changes in
circumstances" between the reporng dates of the enes in the value chain and the date of
approval of the nancial statements of the Company for the purposes of calculang emissions.
However, in 2025, the Company undertook a signicant methodological review of the
calculaon of category 5.1 emissions in order to improve accuracy. The new approach includes
the use of more detailed calculaon methods, improved data collecon and analysis, and the
idencaon of new parameters relang to the specic condions of vessels and their
acvies. These changes have led to a change in the results compared to the previous
reporng period, enhancing the consistency and connuous improvement of the
methodological calculaon approach. As a result of the methodological review and the
adaptaon of the coding of emission categories to the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard, dierences
arose in the results for the 2025 period compared to the previous reporng period. For
comparability purposes, the corresponding 2024 data were recalculated according to the new
methodological approach and the comparave gures were updated accordingly. [E1-6_47,
E1-6_AR_43_c, E1-6_AR_45_e, E1-6_AR_46_j, E1-6_47, E1-6_AR_42]
Scope 2 locaon-based emissions were calculated with the countrys unied energy mix, while
market-based emissions were calculated using the suppliers energy mix. The CO₂e conversion
factors were obtained from DAPEEP, while CH₄ and N₂O factors were applied based on the
Naonal Climate Law (4936/2022). [E1-6_AR39_b]

Category 3.3 Emissions from Employee Travel includes the daily commutes of the
organisaon's sta to and from work, using private cars, public transport, or alternave means
(such as bicycles, scooters, walking, etc.). Employees and senior management who use
company vehicles are excluded from the calculaon, as emissions related to company vehicles
are included in the organisaon's Scope 1 emissions. It should be noted that no teleworking
model is applied, so this parameter is not examined. For quancaon purposes, a travel
survey was conducted with a 46% response rate, and the results were extrapolated to the
enre workforce (excluding those who travel in company vehicles). Emissions were calculated
based on distance traveled and the latest emission factors per mode of transport from the UK
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Aairs (DEFRA). To esmate the number of trips
per employee, the ve-day working week, public holidays, and an average number of vacaon
days per employee were taken into account, in accordance with naonal legislaon. [E1-
6_AR_46_g].
Category 3.5 Emissions from Business Travel includes domesc and internaonal travel
undertaken by sta for business purposes. The scope includes air travel and overnight stays in
accommodaon for business purposes, regardless of whether the trip was organised through
a contracted travel agency or directly by the employee.
Emissions from air travel were calculated based on distance traveled (distance-based
approach). Flights were categorised by type (domesc, short-haul, long-haul) and seat class
(economy, business, average), and the most recent DEFRA emission factors available for the
corresponding reference year were applied.
Emissions from hotel stays were esmated based on the total number of overnight stays per
country. Country-specic emission factors, as published by DEFRA and the GREENVIEW tool,
were used for the calculaon, taking into account variaons in the energy mix and average
energy intensity of the hotel sector in each country.
The methodology was applied based on available primary data (distances, number of
overnight stays) and secondary emission factors from internaonally recognised sources,
ensuring consistency and comparability between reporng periods.
Secon 5.1 Emissions or removals from the product use stage includes vessels moored at the
organisaon's port facilies. The scope includes vessels operang at the Container Terminal,
the Ro-Ro Terminal, the Coastal Shipping Lines (including Argosaronic, Perama ferry terminal
and G1), the Ship Repair Zone and other repair areas, as well as the vessel service areas of
AGET, CORAL, foreign cargo ships, and small vessels operang within the port.
Emissions were calculated using the boom-up methodological approach of the Fourth IMO
GHG Study 2020, based on the operaon of main and auxiliary engines during berthing. The
following were used to determine emissions:
arrival and departure mes (where available from the Agency and/or the competent
Port Authority),
vessel type and size data,
technical characteriscs (engine power, year of manufacture),
typical fuel consumpon values.
The technical data were obtained either from available internal informaon or from
recognised external databases (Fourth IMO GHG Study 2020, EQUASIS, MarineTrac).

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
In cases of insucient data (e.g., unavailable precise data on berthing mes or vessel technical
characteriscs), documented assumpons were applied regarding average dwell me and
engine operaon. Where crical technical data (e.g., year of manufacture) were missing, a
conservave approach was adopted, selecng the most unfavorable technological scenario to
avoid underesmang emissions.
The CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O emission factors per fuel type were taken from the Fourth IMO GHG
Study 2020 and converted to CO₂e based on the corresponding global warming potenal
(GWP) values. The calculaon took into account the regulatory framework governing the use
of fuels within European ports, in accordance with applicable European and naonal
legislaon[E1-6_AR_46_h, E1-6_AR_39_b]
Greenhouse gas emission intensity indicators are calculated as tons of CO₂e per million euros
of turnover (tCO₂e/€ million). The revenue used to calculate the specic indicators
corresponds to the net revenue of PPA S.A., as presented in the published nancial statements
for the reporng period. No adjustment or exclusion of revenue is made for the calculaon of
the intensity indicator, and therefore the net turnover used to calculate the emission intensity
is fully consistent with the net revenue in the nancial statements, without any dierenaon
or balance of revenue that is not taken into account. [E1-6_55, E1-6_AR_55, E1-6_55, E1-
6_AR_55]
Pollution
Within the framework of the Double Materiality Assessment and in accordance with the
requirements of the European Sustainability Reporng Standards (ESRS), PPA S.A. carried out
a systemac screening of all port facilies, acvies and operaonal areas, with the objecve
of idenfying actual and potenal impacts, risks and opportunies related to polluon.
[E2_IRO-1_11_a]
During the assessment, a stakeholder consultaon process was conducted, involving shipping
companies, employees, port service providers and local communies aected by port
operaons, in line with the engagement process described in the relevant chapter of this
Report. [E2_IRO-1_11_b]
The screening process for polluon issues was based on the approved Environmental Impact
Study (EIS) and the applicable Decision on the Approval of Environmental Terms (AEPT), which
specify the relevant sources of polluon, monitoring requirements, and prevenon and
migaon measures for port acvies. At the same me, the results of the Environmental
Monitoring Programme (seawater, sediments, air polluon, noise) were taken into account, as
well as the Company's procedures and acons for the prevenon and management of
polluon incidents. The basic assumpons of the assessment were the full coverage of the
facilies and acvies controlled by PPA S.A., the examinaon of both actual and potenal
impacts, and the use of measurement data where available. [E2_IRO-1_11_a]
The results revealed that material impacts are primarily linked to acvies within the port
value chain, including berthing, vessel operaons, loading/unloading acvies and fuel
handling, which may result in leaks of lubricants or fuels and local air quality degradaon. [E2-

Targets and Actions for Pollution Prevention and Reduction
Although the acvies of PPA S.A. do not involve the discharge of pollutants into the
environment, the Company has established a structured framework of objecves and
prevenve measures aimed at minimizing the risk of any small-scale leaks or polluon
incidents that may occur. The Company systemacally monitors and evaluates the impact of
its acvies and remains commied to their connuous reducon, in full alignment with its
Integrated Management System, the Environmental Terms Approval Decision, and the
European Sustainability Reporng Standards (ESRS). The relevant targets cover all acvies of
PPA S.A. within the port area and are monitored at company level, with 2024 as the base year,
unless otherwise stated in the relevant table [MDR-T_80_a], [MDR-T_80_b], [MDR-T_80_c],
[MDR-T_80_f], [MDR-T_80_g]
To address marine and land-based polluon, the Company implements approved Emergency
Response Plans and programmes for monitoring the quality of seawater and sediments, which
are supported by annual preparedness exercises, with the aim of ensuring an immediate and
eecve response in the event of an incident. [MDR-T_80_b], [MDR-T_80_c], [MDR-T_80_d],
[MDR-T_80_e], [E2-3_23_b]
In terms of air quality, the Company operates atmospheric quality monitoring staons and a
digital data management plaorm to ensure that pollutant concentraons remain within the
applicable legal limits. [MDR-T_80_b], [MDR-T_80_c], [MDR-T_80_d], [MDR-T_80_e], [E2-
3_23_a]
All polluon-related objecves and acons have been developed following consultaon with
employees and stakeholders, in line with the requirements of the Management System and
the environmental permits framework. [MDR-T_80_h]

The above objecves are linked to the prevenon and control of air polluon through the
monitoring of pollutant concentraons and compliance with the applicable limit values [E2-
3_23_a], and to the prevenon and control of emissions/discharges into the aquac
environment through the implementaon of marine water and sediment monitoring
programmes and the implementaon of Emergency Response Plans [E2-3_23_b], as well as
by liming incidents of land-based polluon through control and operaonal readiness
procedures [E2-3_23_c]. During the reporng period, targets are monitored mainly through
compliance indicators (concentraon limit values, number of exceedances, number of
incidents and exercises), without quaned targets being set at the level of specic loads”.
The targets related to the prevenon and reducon of polluon derive from the obligaons
set out in the applicable Environmental Terms Approval Decision (AEPO) of PPA S.A. and
therefore, are of a mandatory nature. [E2-3_25]
The implementaon of Emergency Plans and the relevant operaonal readiness are carried
out in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework (indicavely: OPRC90
Convenon, Law 743/1977, Presidenal Decree 55/1998, Presidenal Decree 11/2002, and
HNS Protocol 2000). [MDR-T_80_f], [MDR-T_80_g]
Actions, Performance and Measurement Indicators
To quanfy performance and monitor progress against the commitments of both the
Environmental Policy and the approved targets and in alignment with the provision of the port
Environmental Approval Decision, the Company implements integrated monitoring and
control programmes. These programmes allow the mely idencaon of deviaons and the
adopon of addional, or emergency measures where required.
Within the Double Materiality Assessment, polluon has been idened as an actual negave
environmental impact for PPA S.A. However, the Company is not subject to Regulaon (EC)
166/2006 (E-PRTR), as its acvies do not fall within the scope of the regulaon. Therefore,
PPA S.A. is not required to submit pollutant release and transfer reports. [E2-4].
Furthermore, the Company does not produce, use, procure, or release any substances
classied as substances of concern or substances of very high concern (SVHCs) under
applicable EU chemicals legislaon. Consequently, no such substances arise as emissions or
outputs from its operaons. [E2-5]
In the event of a signicant polluon incident aecng the local community or the marine
environment, PPA S.A., together with the responsible party (e.g. the pollung vessel), is
commied to cooperang with aected stakeholders to provide support and ensure the
restoraon of any related impacts, in accordance with applicable legislaon and
environmental terms. [MDR-A_68_d], [E2-2_AR_13]

Emergency Response
PPA S.A. applies approved Emergency Response Plans for marine and land-based polluon
incidents, developed in accordance with the OPRC 90 Convenon, Law 743/1977, Presidenal
Decree 55/1998, Presidenal Decree 11/2002 and the 2000 HNS Protocol. [MDR-A_68_a],
[MDR-A_68_b] These Plans dene the required procedures for responding to oil spills or
hazardous substance releases within the areas under the Company’s responsibility. To ensure
operaonal readiness, the Company conducts one polluon-response drill annually, rotang
between dierent operaonal areas. [MDR-A_68_c]
Following the Company's stated objecves for the prevenon/response to incidents of
marine and land polluon, and in parcular the objecve of conducng at least one (1) drill
per year, the Company conducted its annual drill on 26/11/2025 at the Central Port of Piraeus
(Gate E7 Cyclades). Consequently, the annual drill objecve for 2025 was achieved. The
exercise was evaluated based on the procedures of the Emergency Plans and recorded the
eecveness of coordinaon between the pares involved (Company, specialised contractor,
Coast Guard), as well as any necessary improvement/correcve acons that are incorporated
into the Company's preparedness programme. [MDR-T_80_j], [E2-2_AR_13] [MDR-T_80_j]
Oil spill response drill at the Central Port of Piraeus
During the drill and the acvaon of the relevant conngency plans, coordinaon between
the Hellenic Coast Guard and the polluter (e.g. vessels) is closely monitored and maintained
to simulate the migaon of the potenal negave impacts. [E2-2_AR_13]

In the present case, no revenues arise from products or services that are or contain substances
of concern or substances of very high concern. The Company cooperates with a specialized
contractor for the acvaon and implementaon of its Emergency Response Plans, when
required. For 2025, the related cost amounted to €45,518.40 excluding VAT. These costs are
recorded under the Companys operang expenses in the “EXPENSES” table, while no relevant
capital expenditures were incurred during the reporng period. [MDR-A_69_a], [MDR-
A_69_b] A slight increase is ancipated for the following year. [MDR-A_69_c], [E2-6_40_b]
The acvaon of the emergency response plan is assessed in accordance with the applicable
legislaon and is used to evaluate PPA S.A.s performance on likely impacts of coastal and
marine polluon. It should be noted that the Coast Guard is responsible for approving the
emergency plan and all the procedures it provides for. In cases where the Emergency Plan is
acvated, the competent Port Authority is immediately noed and all intervenon work is
carried out under its coordinaon, in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework.
[MDR-M_75], [MDR-M_77_a].
The measurement of the indicator (number of Emergency Plan acvaons) is based on
internally recorded operaonal data and is not subject to validaon by an external body other
than the provider of the Assurance Report. [MDR-M_77_b]
As illustrated in the chart below, in 2025 the emergency plan was acvated eight (8) mes for
marine polluon incidents and 23 mes for land-based polluon incidents. It is important to
note that 12 of the 23 land polluon incidents were extremely minor (spill less than 5 m
2
),
while all incidents were eecvely dealt with based on PPA S.A.'s Emergency Response Plans.

the impacts of PPA S.A.s
business acvies on the natural environment. The programme includes:
Noise monitoring programme
Air quality monitoring programme
Marine water monitoring programme
Marine sediment monitoring programme
Measurements and analyses are carried out by specialized external partners and scienc
bodies (including the Naonal Technical University of Athens), using internaonally
recognized laboratory and instrumentaon methods and applying quality assurance
procedures. In summary, the measurement methodologies include:
Seawater quality: periodic sampling (summer and winter) is carried out at representave
locaons. The samples are analyzed for basic physicochemical parameters, nutrients, heavy
metals, microbiological indicators, and selected organic pollutants in order to assess the
condion of the water column and idenfy any trends or deviaons.
Μarine sediments quality: periodic sampling is also carried out at targeted locaons of
interest. Samples are prepared and analyzed for heavy metals and key organic pollutants (such
as PAHs/PCBs), as well as for indicators related to the organic composion of sediments,
supporng the assessment of potenal pressures from port acvies.
Air polluon: Permanent monitoring staons operate within the port area, systemacally
recording key atmospheric pollutants (e.g. nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, parculate maer,
ozone, carbon monoxide, and/or volale organic compounds—per staon). The operaon of
the staons is supported by a programme for monitoring and ensuring the quality of
measurements.
Noise: the acousc environment is monitored by taking 24-hour measurements at specic
locaons every quarter, as well as by ulizing data from permanent connuous recording
staons. The assessment is based on established noise indicators and the relevant regulatory
framework.
Trac load: 24-hour measurements are carried out at selected cross-secons of the road
network serving the port, in order to correlate changes in trac load (including heavy
vehicles) with the observed pressures on the acousc and atmospherice environment. [E2-

The measurement of indicators is based on data collected by specialized external partners and
scienc bodies. The data is not subject to separate validaon by an external body.
[MDR-M_77_b]
To enhance the eecveness of the Environmental Monitoring Programmes, PPA S.A.
developed in 2024 an electronic plaorm for the consolidaon of monitoring data and
observaons. The plaorm provides:
direct access to observaons and data for each monitoring staon
the ability to idenfy data points that require invesgaon or correcve acons
detecon of potenal sensor malfuncons
automac generaon of charts and comparave visualisaons
data export for reporng or internal evaluaon.
Noise Pollution
Noise Monitoring Programme
PPA S.A. in cooperaon with a specialised licensed partner implements the Noise Monitoring
Programme to assess the impacts, risks and opportunies related to noise from port acvies.

The Programme covers the main operaonal sectors of the port (commercial, passenger,
repair etc.) and includes:
Recording Lden and Lnight indicators at eight (8) locaons, with 24-hour noise
measurement
Joint assessment of measurements from three (3) connuously operang Permanent
Noise Monitoring Staons
Trac load measurements at four (4) high-load points
All measurements follow the methodology of the naonal legislaon (ΚΥΑ 211773/2012) and
include the recording of percenle indicators (L1, L10, L50, L95, L99), maximum and minimum
values (Lmax, Lmin), LAeq (day-night, 24h), and Lden/Lnight/Lday/Levening indicators.
Noise measurements for 2025 were carried out in four quarterly cycles, lasng two days per
locaon, during the following periods:
24/02/2025 - 28/02/2025
12/05/2025 - 16/05/2025

03/11/2025 07/11/2025
Key Monitoring Results for 2025
Assessment of the 2025 measurements revealed that:
Noise levels are in general within PPA S.A.s targets and the permied limit of the
regulaons as well as the Environmental Approval Decision of port.
Road trac noise is a major contributor to the overall noise levels at the port
(commercial and central port)
Port operaons make a notable contribuon to noise levels in the area of the
Container Terminal.
Noise Action Plan
Based on the ndings of the Noise Monitoring Programme and having as priority the
migaon of the noise impacts linked with port operaons, in 2024 PPA S.A., prepared a
comprehensive Noise Migaon Acon Plan for the Container Terminal which was approved
by the Ministry of Environment. In this context in 2025 the Specic Acousc Calculaon and
Implementaon Study (ΕΑΜΥΕ) for Noise Barriers in the Container Terminal was elaborated
and approved by the Ministry of Environment. The implementaon of the proposed measures
is in progress and will be implemented gradually by 2028. [MDR-A_68_a], [MDR-A_68_b],
[MDR-A_68_c]
The cumulave cost for implemenng the Noise Monitoring Programme and for EAMYE study
in total in 2025 was €27,500 plus VAT and has been recorded in the Company’s operang
expenses [MDR-A_69_a], [MDR-A_69_b]. There are currently no esmates available
regarding the amount of future nancial resources that will be required for the connuaon
and further development of the relevant acons, as the relevant needs will be determined in
the context of the annual planning and updang of the Company's environmental acons.

Air Quality Monitoring Programme
The integrated Air Quality Monitoring Program, which has been carried out since 2009 in
cooperaon with the Naonal Technical University of Athens, was sll acve throughout the
year. The aim of the Programme is the connuous recording, assessment and quancaon
of air pollutants associated with port acvies, as well as the development of appropriate
techniques and measures to protect and improve air quality in the port and neighbouring
areas. [MDR-A_68_a], [MDR-A_68_b], [MDR-A_68_c].
The air quality monitoring programme is based on a network of 5 permanent air-quality
monitoring staons located within the Companys area of responsibility. The concentraons
of the following parameters are monitored: [E2-4_30_b], [E2-4_30_c]
nitrogen oxides (NOx),
sulfur dioxide (SO₂),
carbon monoxide (CO),
ozone (O₃),
parculate maer (PM10 and PM2.5),
hydrocarbons (BTEX).
The total operang and monitoring and evaluaon costs for the reporng year including the
operaon of the digital monitoring plaorm is 34,000 plus VAT, are recorded as operang
expenses and disclosed in line with ESRS requirements. The relevant cost esmates will be
determined at a later stage [MDR-A_69_a], [MDR-A_69_b], [MDR-A_69_c].
Posions of permanent Air quality monitoring staons
According to the 2025 Annual Report, the results show no signicant deviaons from previous
periods and are consistent with the 2024 values; they are summarized in the following charts
[E2-4_30_a] [E2-4_30_a].

None of the values of the remaining parameters (NO₂, SO₂, CO, O₃) exceeded the limits during
2025. With regard to the target set for maintaining the average daily concentraon below the
limit of 125 μg/m³, as shown in the chart below, it is fully complied with and no exceedances
are observed [MDR-T_80_j], [MDR-M_75] [MDR-T_80_j]

Although, all SO₂ measurements for the reporng year remain within the permied limits,
PPA S.A. connues to systemacally monitor this specic pollutant due to its connecon to
ship acvity. The expected operaon of expanded measures for supplying electricity to
berthed ships from shore (cold ironing) is esmated to further contribute to reducing the
related air polluon loads.
All measurement data are submied to the Ministry of Environment in accordance with the
requirements of the Environmental Approval Decision of PPA S.A. and are summarised in PPA
S.A.s Annual Environmental Report, which is publicly available on the Companys website
hps://www.olp.gr/el/prostasia-perivallontos/prostasia-perivallontos-prasino-limani.
Seawater and Sediments Monitoring Programmes
PPA S.A.s Seawater Monitoring Programme and Sediments Monitoring Programme remained
acve and in eect in 2025 and were run in cooperaon with the Laboratory of Sanitary
Engineering Technology of the School of Civil Engineering at the Naonal Technical University
of Athens. The aim of the Programmes is the integrated assessment of the state of the marine
environment and the formulaon of proposals for its improvement, within the requirements
of DAEC and the Company’s Integrated Management System. [MDR-A_68_b], [MDR-A_68_a]
For the implementaon of the seawater and sediments monitoring acvies in 2025, PPA S.A.
allocated a total amount of 40,000 excluding VAT. These expenses are recorded in the
Company's operang expenses in the EXPENSEStable. The relevant cost esmates will be
determined at a later stage. [MDR-A_69_a], [MDR-A_69_b]
Seawater Monitoring Programme
In 2025, two monitoring campaigns of the water column were carried out:
Summer sampling: on 24/06/2025
Winter sampling: on 10/12/2025
During these campaigns, 20 seawater samples were collected each me from selected
representave locaons across the port area, including the passenger port, commercial port,
and ship-repair zone. [MDR-A_68_c]
The samples were analysed for:
general physicochemical parameters (temperature, pH, salinity, conducvity, total
dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, transparency, coloraon, suspended
solids),
nutrients (orthophosphates, ammonium nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen),
heavy metals (nickel, lead, copper, iron, chromium, zinc, cadmium, mercury, arsenic),
microbiological parameters (total coliforms, E. Coli, enterococci),
organic pollutants (hydrocarbons and TBT),
ensuring a complete and accurate assessment of the marine water quality.

Sediment Monitoring Programme
Sediment monitoring was carried out through the collecon of 10 sediment samples from key
points within the port basin, including the passenger port, commercial port, and ship repair
zone. Sampling was conducted:
Summer sampling: on 24/06/2025
Winter sampling: on 10/12/2025
Samples were analysed for:
heavy metals (nickel, lead, copper, iron, chromium, zinc, cadmium, mercury, arsenic,
manganese),
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) related compounds),
PAHs (polycyclic aromac hydrocarbons),
TBT compounds,
TOC (total organic carbon).
Due to the large number of measurements and the wide range of parameters examined, the
results of the laboratory analysis are not presented in this report. As foreseen, the full
technical reports have been submied to the Decentralized Administraon of Aca and are
included in PPA S.A.s annual Environmental Report, which is published on the Companys
website hps://www.olp.gr/en/environmental-protecon/environmental-protecon. [MDR-
A_68_ d].
Water Management
PPA S.A.s water impact mainly concerns the use of freshwater which is supplied through the
public network. The Organisaon’s business acvies do not extract marine resources either
biological or non-biological [E3_IRO-1_8_a] [E3_IRO-1_8_b]. The value chain analysis and
Double Materiality Principle did not conclude in the materiality of either impact to the
freshwater resources or the marine ecosystem. This was reinforced through specic
consultaon with stakeholders, which conrmed that water use and water quality do not
constute a material environmental issue for PPA S.A.s operaons.
With regard to freshwater withdrawal related to the PPA's business model, water is drawn
exclusively from EYDAP and is divided into three uses to meet the needs of: PPA S.A.'s own
facilies, third-party land sub-concessionaires, and ships. However, most of the fresh water is
supplied to ships to meet their drinking water needs, as well as for hygiene, equipment
washing, cooling, reghng systems, etc.
As the volume of water consumed depends largely on ship trac which varies annually
depending on the number and type of ships calling at the port water demand cannot be
reliably predicted or stabilized. In 2025 PPA S.A. connued to systemacally monitor water
consumpon in all operaons. This monitoring helps to idenfy potenal changes that could
aect the materiality of the issue in the upcoming reporng periods and to plan responsible
resource-use pracces for the future. Customary annual quality tesng of the supplied water
was carried out, to ensure full compliance with EYDAP specicaons for drinking water and
its safe provision to third pares within the port zone.

Circular Economy
Waste Management in the Port Zone
Within the framework of the Double Materiality Principle and stakeholder consultaons, the
topic of Circular Economy was reassessed and again deemed non-material for PPA S.A.
[E5_IRO-1_11_a]. This conclusion is consistent with the previous period, as the Company’s
business model is based on providing port services and does not include a producon process
or the use of raw materials in signicant volumes.
In addion, PPA S.A. does not produce products or materials, while the resource inputs
required for its acvies are limited and are analysed in the Value Chain” in chapter
“Business model and Value Chain” [E5-4_30]. Consequently, no signicant resource oulows
linked to products, packaging or residual ows were idened in line with ESRS E5-5_35
requirements. [E5_IRO-1_11_a], [E5_IRO-1_11_b]
Although no material IROs for the topic of Circular Economy have been idened, PPA S.A.
ensures the lawful and proper management of waste generated within the port zone through
licensed and specialised contractors. Waste ows are classied into two main categories:
1. Ship-generated waste
Ship-generated waste is managed in accordance with the Ship Waste Management Plan,
which has been approved by the competent Ministry. In accordance with the Plan, PPA S.A.
implements a port recepon system for the collecon and management of solid and liquid
ship waste by licensed, qualied contractors, giving priority to recovery and recycling.
2. Waste generated from port operaons and facilies
This category includes waste generated from PPA S.A.s acvies and infrastructure,
disnguished as:
Waste from the ports regular operaonal acvity (daily port operaons)
Waste from emergency works
7
, such as excavaons, construcons, and dredging

The waste data for the year 2024 are finalised by registering the annual Waste Report of 2024
to the Electronic Waste Register (HMA) of the Ministry of Environment and Energy. It is noted
that the waste data for 2024 as published in the “Annual Financial Report 2024” of PPA SA
were based on internal company data, because the Waste Report 2024 was not submitted at
that time.

This is the reason for the slight differences between waste quantities of 2024 in the two
reports.
In 2025 (as in 2024), high amounts of waste are observed due to dredging works implemented
in the main port, as well as other maintenance works, which are classied as "Waste from
emergency works" (WEEW). Waste in this category is classied as Excavaon, Construcon,
and Demolion Waste (ECDW) and is intended for recovery, while part of it is classied as
hazardous solid waste.
The table below shows the individual amounts of waste delivered to Alternave Management
Systems for the years 2024 and 2025 and are included in the category "Operaonal waste for
recovery/ Recovery," as reected in the above table of total port waste.

When comparing the amounts of waste delivered to Alternave Management Systems for the
years 2024 and 2025, it can be observed that there is no signicant change and that, in
general, the amounts are small, with the excepon of Excavaon Waste, Construcon and
Demolion Waste (CDW), which is aributed to the emergency dredging works in the main
port.
Waste volumes for 2025, compared to 2024, show that the amounts of waste generated by
normal port operaons (hazardous and non-hazardous) remain at similar levels, indicang
stability in the port's daily operaons.

Biodiversity
PPA S.A. operates within the coastal and marine environment. The port zone is classied as
an Arcially Modied Water Body under the EU Water Framework Direcve. This
classicaon is taken into account when assessing the potenal environmental impacts of PPA
S.A. on the marine and coastal environment. Furthermore, the Company’s facilies are neither
located in nor in close proximity to protected areas or zones of high biodiversity value
[E4_IRO-1_19_a].
As part of the Double Materiality Assessment, the Company examined potenal impacts,
dependencies, risks, and opportunies related to biodiversity. The assessment concluded that
biodiversity was not a material topic during the reporng period, considering the nature of
the Company’s acvies, the locaon of its facilies, and the exisng environmental
monitoring and control measures [E4_IRO-1_17_a].
The Company does not use raw materials in a producon process, as its acvies are primarily
operaonal and service-based rather than industrial [E4_IRO-1_17_e_i].
Nevertheless, the Company operates within and depends on the coastal and marine
environment and therefore maintains funconal interacons with ecosystems that may be
aected by port-related acvies [E4_IRO-1_17_b].
During the assessment of impacts, risks, and opportunies related to biodiversity, the
Company also considered potenal systemic risks associated with cumulave environmental
pressures on the coastal and marine ecosystem, including possible interacons among
atmospheric emissions, marine water quality, sediments, and noise. Based on the nature and
scale of the Company’s acvies, the locaon of its facilies, and exisng monitoring and
control mechanisms, these factors were not considered a material biodiversity issue during
the reporng period. Addionally, according to the Environmental Impact Study of PPA S.A.,
approved by the Ministry of Environment and Energy, the impacts of the Companys
operaons on the natural environment (ecosystems, ora, and fauna) are assessed and
documented as non-signicant [E4_IRO-1_17_d].
Environmental pressures related to air emissions, marine water quality, sediments and noise
are monitored through the Integrated Environmental Monitoring Program, implemented in
accordance with the Environmental Approval Decision of port operaons and applicable
legislaon.
During the double materiality assessment, a consultaon with stakeholders was conducted to
assess potenal impacts, risks and opportunies [E4_IRO-1_17_c], [E4_IRO-1_17_e, E4_IRO-
1_17_e_ii], as described in the secon “Stakeholder engagement.

Stakeholders' Interests and Opinions [S1.SBM-2 12]
The Company recognizes its workforce as a key stakeholder group and integrates their views,
expectaons, and rights into the formulaon of its strategy and business model. Through
established engagement mechanisms and communicaon channels such as internal plaorms,
employee engagement surveys, and grievance mechanisms feedback is gathered on material
issues including working condions, Occupaonal Health and Safety, professional
development, equal opportunies, and fair treatment. This informaon is evaluated by
Management and incorporated into decision-making processes, contribung to the
development of policies and pracces that promote a safe and fair work environment, as well
as the respect for human rights within the framework of the Company’s overall strategy and
responsible operaons.
PPA S.A. places its workforce at the core of its strategy and business model, recognising it as
the foundaon for the port's safe, ecient, and resilient operaon. Due to the nature of port
acvies, including 24/7 operaons, the use of heavy machinery, and connuous service
provision, actual and potenal impacts on employees stem directly from and are closely linked
to the Companys strategic objecves, such as operaonal excellence, digital transformaon,
and sustainable development, as well as its operang model. [S1.SBM-3 13 a (i)] The
Company’s commitment to responsible employment pracces, equal opportunies, and
connuous development is reected in its mission and values, and is further reinforced by
stable employment structures, such as the universal applicaon of full-me employment
(100%).
As of the end of the 2025 reporng period, PPA S.A. employed a total of 1,058 employees. The
workforce consists exclusively of employees operang within the Organisaon’s facilies in
Greece. PPA S.A. also engages one self-employed employee, who is not included in the
Company’s total number of employees. All workforce-related data presented in this Report
have been calculated using the headcount methodology as of 31 December 2025.

S1.SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities related to
own workforce and their interaction with strategy and business
model
The actual and potenal impacts idened through the Double Materiality Assessment inform
the Company’s strategic choices, parcularly in strengthening occupaonal health and safety
systems, enhancing professional development and maintaining stable labour relaons. These
data support the adaptaon of PPA S.A.s strategy to evolving workforce needs, sectoral trends
and applicable regulatory requirements. [S1.SBM-3 13 a (ii)]
Through the Double Materiality Assessment, PPA S.A. idened material impacts aecng its
own workforce, risks and opportunies, informed by input from employees, unions and
management representaves. [S1.SBM-3 13 a (ii)] The process highlighted that employees are
the most aected by working condions, especially health and safety maers in high-risk port
areas, equal treatment and inclusion, employee engagement and the need to build capabilies
for new technologies. These insights feed into decision-making processes and shape ongoing
and future strategic iniaves, as indicavely, the development of an occupaonal health and
safety management system (in accordance with ISO 45001 standard) and extensive training
programs for upskilling and reskilling. [S1.SBM-3 13 a (ii)], [S1.SBM-3 13 b]
To fully understand how the Company’s activities may impact its people, the assessment
covered the entirety of the Company’s workforce. Consequently, all employees who may be
materially affected by the Company’s operations are included within the reporting scope of
the assessment, in full compliance with the requirements of the European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS). [S1.SBM-3 14]
The Organisation’s workforce consists of 1,058 full-time employees, comprising both
permanent staff (1,000 employees) and temporary staff on fixed-term contracts (58
employees). Additionally, the Company engages one self-employed employee. [S1.SBM-3 14

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The Double Materiality Assessment for 2025 idened Occupaonal Health and Safety as an
actual and potenal negave impact on its workforce, due to the nature of port acvies and
the possibility of isolated workplace incidents. This impact is not characterised by a systemic
or broad-scale eect but is associated with individual occurrences, which are systemacally
monitored. The Company implements extensive prevenve and migatory measures aimed at
liming associated risks and connuously improving working condions, while acknowledging
that, given the nature of its operaons, such risks cannot be enrely eliminated. [S1.SBM-3 14
b]
Furthermore, the assessment conrmed the existence of signicant posive impacts
stemming from the Companys established employment pracces and its long-term
commitments. PPA S.A. provides stable and quality employment, supported by a full-me
workforce and Human Resources management processes that promote fairness, equal
opportunies, and inclusion. These posive impacts are further enhanced by the
Organisaon’s robust social dialogue framework, which includes acve trade union
representaon and mulple channels for employee communicaon and engagement,
contribung to a construcve work environment. Simultaneously, the Organisaon
systemacally invests in workforce development through structured training programs and
connuous learning iniaves, strengthening professional growth and workforce adaptability
as technologies evolve and industry demands increase. These pracces generate actual and
potenal posive outcomes for employee well-being, engagement, equal treatment, and long-
term skills development. [S1.SBM-3 14 c]
The material risks and opportunies idened for the Company regarding its impacts and
dependencies on its own workforce primarily relate to performance in Occupaonal Health
and Safety, sta competencies in adopng new technologies, and the acquision of diverse
talent. Due to the nature of port acvies involving heavy equipment, vessel movements, and
operaons in high-security zones, there is an inherent risk of isolated occupaonal incidents.
This risk is addressed through structured preventave measures, systemac monitoring, and
emergency management procedures, as well as the phased development of a cered
Occupaonal Health and Safety Management System in accordance with the ISO 45001
standard, aiming for the connuous improvement of working condions.
Furthermore, in an environment where the marime sector is dynamically evolving toward
more digitalised and technologically advanced operaons, the Company systemacally invests
in upskilling and reskilling iniaves. These acons aim to enhance the readiness and
adaptability of the workforce, supporng the eecve ulisaon of emerging technologies
and modern operaonal pracces. [S1.SBM-3 14 d]
Beyond the risks associated with the Company’s workforce, the assessment also idened
opportunies arising from its ability to leverage exisng human capital strengths. These
opportunies include aracng diverse talent through the Companys equal opportunity
Page 257 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
framework and inclusive recruitment pracces, as well as enhancing technological
competencies through connuous professional development.
Maintaining robust social dialogue structures and stable employment pracces, the
Organisaon is well-posioned to transform these opportunies into long-term value for both
the Company and its people. [S1.SBM-3 14 d]
The marime sector's transion toward digitalisaon, automaon, and low-carbon
technologies was assessed as material to the Company’s workforce, as it creates both potenal
impacts and dependencies that require management. Within the context of the assessment,
no signicant negave impacts were idened regarding the Company’s transion eorts, as
no restructuring, job losses, or adverse changes in employment condions are ancipated.
Conversely, the transion presents a signicant opportunity for the Organisaon linked to the
need for upskilling and reskilling for new technologies; the Company’s ability to adapt to future
alternave fuel systems and digital port operaons depends on having a workforce with the
appropriate competencies. This dependency is reected in the Companys long-term
commitment to connuous educaon and professional development, supported by structured
learning programs and technological skill enhancement iniaves already in place. [S1.SBM-3
14 e]
The transion also entails challenges associated with the potenal emergence of a skills gap,
should the workforce be insuciently prepared for the technological evoluon of port
operaons. This risk impacts producvity, safety, and long-term compeveness, and is
migated through the strengthening of internal training systems and the implementaon of
targeted upskilling and reskilling iniaves. [S1.SBM-3 14 e]
The Company implements a comprehensive framework of internal policies and regulaons,
which ensures the protecon of labour rights and guarantees that all employment pracces
are grounded in respect, fairness, and protecon against misconduct. This framework aims to
prevent any potenal labour rights violaons and to promote a safe and non-discriminatory
working environment. As part of the Company’s Human Rights Due Diligence, the Organisaon
assessed the potenal risk of forced or compulsory labour within its operaons and idened
no such risk, given that the Company operates exclusively in Greece and complies with the
applicable naonal and European regulatory frameworks for the protecon of employees'
rights. [S1.SBM-3 f (i)] The Company does not engage in any acvies that could pose a
signicant risk of human rights violaons, including forced or compulsory labour, and no such
incidents have been recorded within its operaons. Correspondingly, the risk assessment
idened no operaonal acvies or geographic locaons involving a signicant risk of forced
or compulsory labour. [S1.SBM-3 f (ii)]
The Company also assessed the potenal risk of child labour within the scope of its operaons.
The assessment idened no such risk, as the Company operates exclusively in Greecea
jurisdicon with a stringent regulatory framework for employee protecon and the
enforcement of the minimum age for employment—and maintains no operaons in countries
or regions where child labour is prevalent. The Company implements a comprehensive internal
policy framework that safeguards human and labour rights and establishes clear protocols for
fair and safe working condions. In alignment with this framework, no incidents related to
Page 258 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
child labour or other material human rights violaons were recorded during the reporng
period. [S1.SBM-3 g (i)]
Consequently, no type of operaonal acvity or geographic region within the Company’s scope
has been idened as posing a signicant risk of child labour. [S1.SBM-3 g (ii)]
Within the framework of the Double Materiality Assessment, the Company examined how
dierent segments of its workforce may be exposed to risks or benet from emerging
opportunies. The analysis accounted for the specic nature of dues performed across the
port, recognising that employees in high-risk operaonal areas, such as the Container Terminal
and the Ship Repair Zone, are exposed to heightened occupaonal health and safety risks due
to their working environment. Concurrently, the assessment integrated characteriscs
protected under the Company’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy, the Policy for the
Prevenon and Combang of Violence and Harassment at Work, the Internal Grievance
Mechanism for Incidents of Violence and Harassment, and the Code of Conduct. Indicavely,
factors such as gender, age, and disability were examined to guide the Organisaon in
idenfying vulnerable groups or cohorts requiring addional support or enhanced workplace
protecon measures. [S1.SBM-3 15]
The assessment also highlighted that certain material risks and opportunies pertain to
specic workforce segments. For instance, the potenal risk of a skills gap primarily aects
employees in technical and operaonal roles, who are more directly impacted by the
technological evoluon of port operaons; this is addressed through targeted training and
capacity-building programs. Similarly, the opportunity to aract and retain diverse talent is
supported by the Companys Inclusion Policy, specically focusing on groups such as women
and employees with disabilies. Insights derived from ongoing social dialogue with employees
and labour unions enhance the Companys understanding of these groups' needs and provide
aconable guidance for designing iniaves that ensure safe, equitable, and supporve
working condions for all. [S1.SBM-3 16]
S1.1 Policies related to Own Workforce
ESG and Sustainability Policy
The ESG and Sustainability Policy sets the overarching framework that guides the Company
in operang responsibly, ethically and sustainably, acng as a reference point for
integrang environmental management, social responsibility and sound governance into its
business pracces.
Its stated purpose, as explicitly described in the Policy, is to ensure that the Company not
only complies with applicable legislaon but also takes steps to address stakeholder
expectaons, migate environmental and social risks, enhance social dialogue, promote
human rights and maintain ethical business conduct. Through this framework, the Company
aims to reinforce its long-term value, build a resilient business model and contribute
posively to society and the environment. [S1.MDR_P_65 a]
In relaon to the Company’s own workforce, the Policy underpins several material IROs
idened in the Double Materiality Assessment, including:
Work-life Balance & Well-being

Equal Opportunies
Employee Engagement & Social Dialogue
Training and Skills Development for New Technologies
Upskilling – Technological Capabilies of Workforce
Employee Health & Safety Incidents
Skill Gap and Technological Readiness [S1-1_17]
Within the framework of the Corporate Social Responsibility pillar, the Policy commits the
Company to creang an inclusive and diverse working environment that supports employee
development and promotes work-life balance. It also arms that the Company does not
tolerate any form of discriminaon, and that advancement is based solely on performance,
eciency, skills and qualicaons. These commitments form a high-level policy basis for
managing workforce-related Impacts, Risks & Opportunies, later operaonalised through
more specic internal policies. [S1-1_18]
The ESG & Sustainability Policy applies to all acvies of PPA S.A. and is to be followed by
all employees, contractors, partners and third pares collaborang with or operang on
behalf of the Company, with no excepons menoned. [S1.MDR_P_65 b], [S1-1_19]
The Policy also relates to the two workforce-related risks idened in the assessment. Its
aim is to maintain a safe, healthy and respecul work environment, and compliance with
ILO convenons on occupaonal health and safety, supporng the management of the
Employee Health & Safety Incidents risk. Its emphasis on connuous learning and employee
capability-building provides a policy foundaon for addressing the Skill Gap and
Technological Readiness risk linked to technological evoluon.
The ESG Commiee is responsible for the publicaon of the latest version of this Policy and
for ensuring its disseminaon to all employees. [S1.MDR_P_65 a] The Commiee is also
responsible for the supervision of the implementaon and the review of this Policy..
[S1.MDR_P_65 c]
The Policy is publicly available on the Company’s ocial website (hps://www.olp.gr/en/)
in both English and Greek, ensuring accessibility for all employees, partners and other
stakeholders. [S1.MDR_P_65 f]
The Policy undergoes reviews on an ad hoc basis as needed. Revisions are driven by legal
and regulatory changes, the idencaon of risks or adverse impacts, ATHEX ESG scoring,
opportunies for improvement, updates in the Company’s strategic direcon and broader
stakeholder awareness. This ongoing review process helps ensure alignment with evolving
sustainability and workforce priories. [S1.MDR_P_65 e]
The Policy explicitly states that the Company adheres to the UN Global Compact’s Ten
Principles and supports the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. It also
conrms compliance with Internaonal Labour Organisaon (ILO) convenons, including
those on working condions, freedom of associaon and occupaonal health and safety.
[S1.MDR_P_65 d], [S1-1_20], [S1-1_20 a], [S1-1_21]
Through these commitments, the Policy sets out the Company’s human rights and labour
rights expectaons for its workforce, including respect for dignity, equal treatment, safe
working condions and eecve social dialogue. [S1-1_22]

Code of Conduct
The Company’s Code of Conduct (hereinaer “the Code”) sets out the Company’s
fundamental principles, values and rules of professional behavior, ensuring that all
members of sta and the Board of Directors act with integrity, honesty and respect in full
alignment with applicable legislaon relang to human rights, labour, the environment
and an-corrupon. The Code serves as a reference framework that guides employees in
managing ethical dilemmas and in applying responsible business conduct across daily
operaons and interacons with colleagues, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
[S1.MDR_P_65 a], [S1-1_18]
The scope of the Code clearly covers the total number of employees, as well as all
members of the Board of Directors, both inside and outside Greece. It denes
expectaons for behavior, communicaon, condenality, fair treatment, equal
opportunies, and professional responsibility. These principles apply across all
organisaonal levels and business acvies. [S1.MDR_P_65 b], [S1-1_19]
Responsibility for applying and upholding the Code is shared across the Company.
Managers are required to set an example, ensure that their teams understand and comply
with the Code, foster transparency, and respond promptly when concerns are raised.
Employees are responsible for demonstrang moral values, reporng potenal violaons,
remaining up to date with ethical standards and performing their dues in accordance
with Company policies and the law. [S1.MDR_P_65 a], [S1.MDR_P_65 c]
The Code is approved and periodically updated by the BoD and is made publicly available
on the Company’s ocial website (hps://www.olp.gr/en/), ensuring full transparency,
accessibility and consistent communicaon to all employees and external stakeholders.
[S1.MDR_P_65 f]
The Code of Conduct contains explicit provisions relevant to workforce-related impacts
and opportunies idened in the Double Materiality Assessment, including:
Equal Opportunies
Diverse Workforce Aracon
Interacon with employees & Social Dialogue
Work-life Balance & Well-being [S1-1_17]
Equal Opportunies Policy (Arcle 14 of the Code)
Furthermore, the Code sets a clear commitment to equality, personal rights and diversity,
covering both visible characteriscs (age, sex, race, ethnicity, disability) and non-visible
ones (culture, religion, marital status, experience, opinion). The Company explicitly
prohibits any form of discriminaon, harassment or retaliaon, requiring full compliance
with legislaon on equal treatment in the workplace. [S1-1_20 a], [S1-1_24 a], [S1-1_24

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Forced and Child Labour (Arcle 15 of the Code)
The Code states that the Company does not use any form of forced labour and does not
employ individuals below the legal minimum age. Child labour is dened as employing any
person under the legal working age in Greece. [S1-1_22]
Violence and Harassment in the Workplace (Arcle 16 of the Code)
The Code denes violence and harassment as any act or threat that may cause physical,
psychological, sexual or economic harm or violate a person’s dignity.
All forms of violence and harassment are strictly prohibited.
The Code explicitly references the dedicated “Policy on prevenng and combang
violence and harassment at work & the management of internal complaints about
incidents of violence and harassment,” establishing a formal link to the Company’s
internal complaint mechanisms. [S1-1_20 a], [S1-1_24 a], [S1-1_24 d]
The Code requires sta to report violaons or concerns regarding ethical issues through
designated internal channels, including:
the whistleblowing email address (whistleblowing@olp.gr)
internal complaint boxes located in Company facilies
It states that all complaints are treated imparally, condenally and in accordance with
the Whistleblowing Policy and other compliance mechanisms. These provisions
contribute to the Company’s overall remediaon framework for addressing workplace
concerns. [S1-1_20 c]
Compliance with the Code is monitored through various mechanisms and policies,
including the Whistleblowing Policy, conict of interest procedures, the recruitment
process, and the Policy to Prevent and Combat Violence and Harassment. Reviews are
undertaken by the Regulatory Compliance Unit and/or the Internal Audit Department.
[S1.MDR_P_65 a], [S1-1_20 c]
Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DE&I) Policy
The Diversity, Equality & Inclusion (DEI) Policy sets out the Company’s commitment to
promong a respecul, fair and inclusive working environment, where every employee is
treated with dignity and without discriminaon. Diversity, as dened by the Policy,
encompasses visible characteriscs such as age, gender, race, naonality and physical
ability, as well as non-visible characteriscs such as culture, religion, marital status,
experience and opinion. The Policy arms zero tolerance for discriminaon, harassment
and retaliatory behavior, and emphasizes that dierences of opinion are valued as a
source of construcve dialogue and connuous improvement. [S1.MDR_P_65 a], [S1-
1_24 a], [S1-1_24 b]
The Policy applies to all individuals employed or engaged by the Company, irrespecve of
employment status, including dependent employees, independent service providers and
individuals working under salaried mandate arrangements. It covers all aspects of the
employment lifecycle; recruitment, compensaon, development, training, promoon and
career progression, without exclusions. [S1.MDR_P_65 b], [S1-1_19]

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The DEI Policy is adopted through a formal decision of the competent corporate body and
is publicly available on the Company’s ocial website (hps://www.olp.gr/en/),
ensuring visibility and accessibility for employees and external stakeholders.
[S1.MDR_P_65 f]
By requiring equal opportunies and fair treatment, the Policy supports the Company’s
workforce-related material impacts and opportunies and forms part of the foundaonal
policy framework for managing issues related to:
Equal Opportunies
Diverse Workforce Aracon
These commitments promote merit-based career development, ensuring that skills,
qualicaons and performance are the sole criteria for advancement. [S1-1_17], [S1-
1_18], [S1-1_24 b], [S1-1_24 c]
The Policy also sets clear expectaons for employee behavior: sta must behave with
respect and tolerance toward colleagues, parcipate in relevant training and report
incidents of discriminatory or inappropriate behavior. Any concerns can be raised through
the complaint procedure established in the Policy to Prevent and Combat Violence and
Harassment at Work and for the Management of Internal Complaints about Incidents of
Violence and Harassment, ensuring a structured, condenal and responsive mechanism
for addressing issues. [S1-1_24 d]
Furthermore, the Policy emphasizes the Company’s commitment to diversity and
inclusion at the highest levels of leadership. The selecon of Board members and senior
managers must reect diversity criteria, including gender, race, sexual orientaon,
religion, polical opinions, social origin, disability and age. This approach aligns leadership
appointments with principles of equal opportunity and contributes to the Company’s
ability to aract and retain diverse talent, a signicant impact according to the Double
Materiality Principle. [S1-1_24 c]
Overall, the DEI Policy reinforces the Organisaon’s broader human-rights commitments
by promong equality, prohibing discriminaon and embedding inclusion throughout
the Company’s operaons. It complements the Code of Conduct and the Policy to Prevent
and Combat Violence and Harassment at Work, forming an integrated framework that
supports employee dignity, well-being and a culture of respect.
Policy to Prevent and Combat Violence and Harassment at Work and for the
Management of Internal Complaints about Incidents of Violence and
Harassment
The Policy to Prevent and Combat Violence and Harassment at Work and for the
Management of Internal Complaints about Incidents of Violence and Harassment sets out
the Company’s commitment to ensuring a workplace where every person is treated with
dignity and respect. Its purpose is to prevent, address and eliminate behaviors that may
cause physical, psychological, sexual or economic harm, or that violate an individual’s
dignity, in full alignment with the denions and obligaons established by Greek Law
4808/2021. [S1.MDR_P_65 a], [S1-1_20 a]

The Policy applies to all the Company’s employees, regardless of their employment
relaonship, and to any individual present in or connected to the work environment. It
covers conduct occurring at Company premises, during work-related travel or events, and
in any context linked to the employment relaonship, ensuring that protecon extends
across all workplace sengs. [S1.MDR_P_65 b] [S1-1_19]
Responsibility for implemenng the Policy lies with specically designated internal bodies.
The Violence and Harassment Incidents Reference Person (the Secretary of the
Disciplinary Board) acts as the rst point of contact for the receipt of internal complaints.
The Complaint Management Team, comprised of the Regulatory Compliance Manager,
the HR Manager and the Deputy HR Manager, examines and assesses complaints,
ensuring imparality, condenality and mely handling.
Depending on the severity of the incident, cases may be escalated to the Disciplinary
Board, which determines correcve or disciplinary acons.
The Policy is also made publicly available on the Company’s ocial website
(hps://www.olp.gr/en/) to ensure transparency and accessibility for employees and
external stakeholders. [S1.MDR_P_65 c], [S1.MDR_P_65 f]
In relaon to PPA’s own workforce, the Policy supports several material impacts idened
in the Double Materiality Assessment. By promong dignity, respect, non-retaliaon and
a safe working environment, it contributes directly to the Company’s commitments to
workforce well-being and construcve internal communicaon. [S1-1_18]
Specically, the Policy is linked to the following material impacts:
Work-life Balance & Well-being
Interacon with employees & Social Dialogue [S1-1_17]
A core feature of the Policy is its internal complaints mechanism, which provides
employees with secure and condenal channels for reporng incidents of violence or
harassment. Complaints may be submied in wring to the Reference Person, the HR
Department or through the communicaon channels specied in the Policy. The
procedure outlines the steps for receiving, assessing and addressing complaints, while
ensuring condenality and protecon for complainants throughout the process. This
framework strengthens the Company’s broader human-rights approach by oering
employees reliable avenues to seek support and remedy. [S1-1_20 c] [S1-1_24 d] [S1-
1_AR 17 g]
The Policy also claries the responsibilies of employees, who are expected to refrain
from behavior that may harm the dignity or safety of others and to report any incidents
they witness or experience. Awareness-raising and training iniaves, coordinated by the
Human Resources Directorate and other responsible funcons, help reinforce a shared
understanding of acceptable conduct, promote respect in the workplace and prevent
inappropriate behavior before it occurs. [S1.MDR_P_65 a] [S1-1_18]

Health & Safety Regulaon of Container Terminal
The 'Occupaonal Health and Safety Regulaon for Pier I Container Terminal' constutes
the Company’s ocial regulatory framework for managing health and safety issues within
the Pier I workspaces. Its purpose is the prevenon of occupaonal accidents and
diseases, the idencaon and assessment of occupaonal risks, and the implementaon
of appropriate measures to protect the life and health of employees. The core content of
the Regulaon includes the documentaon of the obligaons of the Company,
employees, and supervisors; the descripon of risk prevenon and control procedures;
and detailed instrucons for the use of Personal Protecve Equipment and the safe
execuon of stevedoring and technical operaons.
Compliance is monitored through audits, inspecons, sta training, and collaboraon
with the Safety Technician and the Occupaonal Physician, as provided for by the
Regulaon.
The Regulaon aims to manage material health and safety issues associated with
Container Terminal (CT) operaons, covering risks arising from the use of heavy
machinery, container handling, loading and unloading acvies, as well as technical
works. It outlines preventave measures, the obligaon to provide training and inducon,
and the mandatory compliance with safety protocols. [S1.MDR_P_65 a]
The scope of applicaon of the Regulaon extends to all acvies conducted at Pier I
Container Terminal and covers the enrety of the workforce operang within the
facilies, including stevedores, equipment operators, and technical personnel. No explicit
exclusions are cited regarding acvies or geographic areas outside the Container
Terminal facilies. [S1.MDR_P_65 b]
The BoD holds ulmate responsibility for the approval and updang of the Regulaon,
which is formally signed by the Chairman of the Board. Concurrently, the responsibility
for implementaon lies with the relevant execuve management, department heads, and
site supervisors, who are mandated to ensure strict adherence to the prescribed
measures within the workplace. [S1.MDR_P_65 c]
The framework for the development and implementaon of the Regulaon provides for
employee informaon, training, and consultaon, with employees being required to
adhere to safety measures and report hazards or deciencies. Their parcipaon in the
prevenon process, alongside their cooperaon with the Safety Technician and the
Occupaonal Physician, reects the integraon of employees' needs and protecon into
the Company's safety culture. [S1.MDR_P_65 e]
The Regulaon is made available to employees through inducon and training sessions,
while the Company is mandated to provide the necessary instrucons and protecve
equipment. While there is no specic protocol for public disclosure to external
stakeholders, the implementaon of the Regulaon directly concerns all individuals
operang within the Container Terminal facilies. [S1.MDR_P_65 f]

Personnel Training Policy
The Personnel Training Policy establishes the framework for the connuous development
of employees’ skills at the Company, ensuring that all training acvies support the
strategic needs of the Company and contribute to maintaining a high-performing and
compliant workforce. Its purpose is to dene the principles and procedures governing
employee training and to promote connuous learning as a core element of operaonal
excellence. [S1.MDR_P_65 a]
The Policy applies to all sta of the Company, including xed-term employees, providing
equal access to training and professional development opportunies across all employment
categories. [S1.MDR_P_65 b], [S1-1_19]
Responsibility for implemenng, coordinang and reviewing the Policy lies with the Human
Resources Department. Its dues include idenfying training needs, preparing the Annual
Training Plan, evaluang training proposals, coordinang approvals and overseeing
parcipaon and evaluaon procedures. The Policy is approved by Company management
and may be revised whenever necessary to reect operaonal requirements or changes in
legislaon. [S1.MDR_P_65 c]
The Policy sets out four core objecves, which reect the Company’s commitment to
workforce development:
Skills Development: enhancing exisng skills and acquiring new ones.
Performance & Producvity: improving work eciency through targeted
training.
Compliance & Ethics: ensuring adherence to Company rules, internal
procedures and legal requirements
Professional Development: supporng employees’ long-term career
growth
These objecves directly support several workforce-related material impacts, risks and
opportunies idened in the Double Materiality Assessment, including:
Training & Skills Development for New Technologies
Upskilling – Technological Capabilies of Workforce
Equal Opportunies
Interacon with employees & Social Dialogue
Skill Gap & Technological Readiness [S1-1_17], [S1-1_18], [S1-1_AR17 h]
Training needs are idened through four structured processes:
the Annual Training Plan, compiled based on needs submied by
Department Heads
ad hoc needs, arising from new challenges or operaonal changes
performance evaluaon results, which reveal skills gaps and areas for
improvement
cercaon or qualicaon needs, in line with the Regulaon for the
Coverage of Cercaon and Educaonal Qualicaon Costs
Page 266 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Once a training request is approved, the Human Resources Department evaluates training
programmes available, liaises with providers, and nalizes parcipaon arrangements.
Parcipaon in approved programs is mandatory, and cercates of aendance or
successful compleon are recorded in each employee’s personal le. [S1.MDR_P_65 a],
[S1-1_AR17 f]
The Policy is supplemented by the Regulaons Governing the Reimbursement of Expenses
for Cercaons and the Acquision of Educaonal Qualicaons for Company
Employees, which provides fair and transparent procedures for nancial support to
employees seeking job-related cercaons or degrees. This Regulaon supports equal
access to development opportunies and strengthens the Company’s framework for
connuous learning.
Training eecveness is monitored through structured tools. Parcipants complete the
Training Program Assessment Form, evaluang content relevance, usefulness and overall
sasfacon. Departments complete the Training Program Eecveness Assessment, which
assesses whether newly acquired skills are being applied, contribung to improved
performance, problem-solving and employee engagement. These tools provide a
systemac mechanism for monitoring outcomes and implemenng improvements in the
training process. [S1.MDR_P_65 a], [S1-1_AR17 f]
Whistleblowing Policy
The Whistleblowing Policy establishes the framework through which the Company enables
employees and other individuals working under its supervision to report concerns or
suspected violaons safely, condenally and without fear of retaliaon. Its purpose is to
promote integrity, ethical behavior and compliance across the Organisaon by providing
structured and secure reporng channels, in line with the requirements of Direcve (EU)
2019/1937 and Greek Law 4990/2022. [S1.MDR_P_65 a]
The Policy applies to all employees, members of the BoD and Top Management, as well as
to external collaborators, contractors, suppliers, customers, users and any third pares who
work with or provide services to the Company. This broad scope ensures that anyone who
becomes aware of misconduct or potenal violaons is able to report them. [S1.MDR_P_65
b] [S1-1_19]
Reports may concern breaches of EU or naonal legislaon, violaons of Company policies
or procedures, issues related to corrupon, bribery, fraud, conicts of interest, nancial
irregularies, data protecon breaches, or/and other forms of unethical or improper
conduct. The Policy describes the available communicaon channels, which include:
a dedicated email address (whistleblowing@olp.gr)
postal submissions addressed to the Whistleblowing responsible and
marked “Condenal”
physical report boxes located at designated points across PPA S.A. facilies
All channels guarantee condenality, secure handling of informaon and the protecon
of the whistleblower’s identy. Retaliaon against any person who reports a concern in
good faith is strictly prohibited under the Policy and in accordance with Arcle 17 of Law
4990/2022. [S1-1_20 b]

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Responsibility for receiving and monitoring internal reports lies with the Whistleblowing
responsible, who is the Manager of the Risk Management Unit. The Whistleblowing
responsible registers incoming reports, ensures condenality and independence, and
forwards cases requiring invesgaon to the Reports Management Commiee
(Whistleblowing Commiee).
This three-member Commiee, comprised of the Managers of the Regulatory Compliance
Unit and the Human Resources Department, and the Deputy Manager of the Legal
Department, with the support of the DPO, conducts invesgaons following a structured
and imparal procedure. At its discreon, the Commiee may request addional
informaon, invite the whistleblower or the reported party to interviews, consult relevant
Departments and issue a nal invesgaon Report. [S1.MDR_P_65 c] [S1-1_18] [S1-1_AR
17 g]
The Policy is communicated internally to employees, execuves and external collaborators
through email, the Company portal and other internal channels. It is also publicly available
on the Company’s website (hps://www.olp.gr/en/), ensuring transparency and
accessibility for all stakeholders. [S1.MDR_P_65 f]
In relaon to the Company’s own workforce, the Policy supports several material impacts
idened in the Double Materiality Assessment. By providing safe and trusted channels for
raising concerns, it promotes fairness, well-being and open communicaon in the working
environment.
Specically, it contributes to:
Work-life Balance & Well-being
Interacon with employees and Social Dialogue
Equal Opportunies [S1-1_17]
The Policy also sets out a clear procedure for the management of reports and complaints.
This includes melines for acknowledging reports, safeguarding condenality, establishing
imparal assessment of facts, preserving evidence, and informing whistleblowers of the
outcome, in line with the requirements of Law 4990/2022. These elements ensure that
employees have reliable and eecve avenues to seek remedy when observing or
experiencing misconduct, reinforcing the Company’s broader commitment to responsible
conduct and the protecon of human and labour rights. [S1-1_20 a], [S1-1_20 c]
Sta Promoon Policy
The Sta Promoon Regulaon governs the framework through which the Company
ensures that posions of responsibility are lled by competent personnel and that
employees who demonstrate high performance, skills and professional behavior are
recognised and advanced within the Company. [S1.MDR_P_65 a]
Its stated purpose is to promote a culture of meritocracy, movaon and connuous
development, ensuring that professional progression aligns with organisaonal needs and
supports long-term workforce stability and engagement.
The Regulaon applies to all the Company’s sta employed under an open-ended
employment relaonship, excluding only top management execuves who fall under
Page 268 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
separate governance frameworks. All eligible employees are provided with equal
opportunies for professional development and advancement. [S1.MDR_P_65 b], [S1-
1_19]
Responsibility for implemenng the Regulaon lies primarily with the Human Resources
Department, in collaboraon with Department Heads, Deputy CEOs and ulmately the CEO,
who provides nal approval for senior-level promoons. This governance structure ensures
that decisions are properly reviewed, documented and aligned with organisaonal needs.
[S1.MDR_P_65 c]
Promoonal decisions are based on clear, predened criteria, including length of service,
performance assessments, skills and competencies required for the target posion and
demonstraon of values consistent with the Company’s culture. These criteria ensure that
qualicaons, skills and experience serve as the basis for advancement, in line with the
expectaons of internaonally recognised good pracces for equal treatment. . [S1-1_AR
17 a]
Responsibilies for the promoon process are assigned to management-level roles,
supporng accountability and consistency across departments. [S1-1_AR 17 b]
The Regulaon supports several workforce-related IROs by strengthening the Company’s
merit-based career development framework:
Equal Opportunies
Interacon with employees and Social Dialogue
Diverse Workforce Aracon
Upskilling - Technological Capabilies of Workforce [S1-1_17], [S1-1_18]
The Regulaon also includes structured procedures for announcing vacancies, subming
candidacies, conducng interviews and issuing approvals, with HR maintaining the
corresponding documentaon and records. This supports transparency and provides a clear
view of employee progression within the Company. [S1-1_AR 17 f]
Moreover, newly promoted employees receive the necessary inducon and role-specic
training to support a smooth transion into their new responsibilies, thereby promong
access to skills development and long-term employability. [S1-1_AR 17 h]
In addion to the above policies, the following are of signicant importance for managing
maers related to the Company’s workforce:
the Operang Regulaon (further informaon is provided in Chapter G1- 1 Business
Conduct)
the Recruitment Process, the Regulaon for the granng of short-term leaves to the
employees of the Company due to extraordinary circumstances or special needs
beyond the provisions of the General Sta Regulaon
the Terms and Condions for the granng of interest-free personal loans to the
Company personnel

S1.2 Processes for engaging with own workforce and workers’
representatives
The Company places strong value on maintaining an open and construcve relaonship with
its people. Interacon with employees and social dialogue form an essenal part of how the
Company understands and manages its impact on its workforce and reects the importance
of Employee Engagement and Social Dialogue as a material impact area. Employees are
represented by organised bodies that parcipate in discussions on workplace pracces and
employment condions, ensuring that their views are heard and considered
8
. [S1-2_27 a]
Engagement takes place through several processes across the year. Under the Personnel
Training Policy, Department Heads idenfy training needs as part of the Annual Training Plan
and through ad-hoc requests arising from the operaonal requirements. Employees then
provide structured feedback through Evaluaon Forms aer each training program, enabling
them to express views on content, relevance and areas for improvement. At the same me,
employees and their representaves contribute to the Double Materiality Assessment,
providing informaon on topics such as working condions, equal opportunies and skills
development. These pracces support connuous dialogue and help strengthen acve
parcipaon across the workforce. [S1-2_27 b]
The eecveness of engagement is supported by structured procedures. The Whistleblowing
Policy outlines the steps for acknowledging reports, reviewing concerns, following up and
providing feedback where appropriate. The Policy to Prevent and Combat Violence and
Harassment at Work and for the Management of Internal Complaints about Incidents of
Violence and Harassment sets out a clear process for subming, examining and resolving
internal complaints, ensuring condenality and support for aected individuals. Training
processes include evaluaon forms and eecveness assessments, enabling the Company to
monitor whether programs meet employees’ needs and to adjust future acons accordingly.
[S1-2_27 e]
When idenfying and assessing material impacts, risks and opportunies, the Company
considers the perspecves of employees who may be more exposed to impacts. The Double
Materiality Assessment examined the condions of employees working in high-risk
operaonal areas, such as the Container Terminal and the Ship Repair Zone, and also
considered characteriscs including gender, age, disability and mulcultural background. This
approach supports the Company’s ability to understand diverse workforce perspecves and
ensures that engagement pracces remain inclusive, informing material areas such as
Employee Engagement & Social Dialogue, Equal Opportunies and Training and Skills
Development. In 2025, as part of the reassessment of the Companys material maers, a

materiality quesonnaire was distributed to employees to solicit their perspecves for the
priorisaon process of material topics related to the workforce. [S1-2_28]
S1.3 Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels
for own workforce to raise concerns
During the reporng period, the Company idened one actual and potenal negave impact
regarding occupaonal health and safety, which is inherently linked to the nature of port
operaons. Although the Company maintains overall low incident rates, the possibility of
isolated occurrences is recognised. To this end, the Company priorizes the strengthening of
a prevenon culture, while implemenng structured procedures and ensuring full compliance
with the prevailing naonal and European regulatory frameworks. This approach aims for the
connuous improvement of working condions and the eecve management of any
potenal impacts.
In accordance with applicable Greek and EU health and safety legislaon, the relevant
Internaonal Labour Organisaon (ILO) convenons, and internal regulaons, the Company
implements a structured remediaon process for every work-related incident or idened
hazardous situaon. When an incident impacts an employee's health or safety, immediate
remediaon measures include the provision of rst aid or medical treatment, facilitated access
to external healthcare providers, and coverage via the Company’s private health insurance, as
well as the adjustment of working condions where necessary. In the long term, remediaon
may involve temporary or permanent modicaon of dues, ergonomic improvements,
engineering controls, or addional training and supervision. These measures both aim to
restore, to the extent possible, the well-being of the aected employee and to prevent the
recurrence of similar incidents.
The Company conducts occupaonal health and safety risk assessments for all core acvies
and workspaces; these are reviewed whenever signicant changes occur to proacvely
idenfy and control hazards, and to provide data for both preventave and correcve
measures. [S1-3_32 a]
All incidents are recorded and systemacally invesgated by the relevant internal bodies (such
as the Safety Department, the Human Resources Department, and Department Heads), with
the parcipaon, where applicable, of employee representaves through the Health and
Safety Commiee. Accidents are reported on the SEPENET electronic plaorm. The accident
invesgaon procedure is dened by the relevant internal procedure SOP-28-01. Findings from
these invesgaons are ulised to update and revise procedures and to enhance technical and
organisaonal controls, thereby strengthening the overall health and safety management
system.
The Company maintains formal grievance mechanisms through:
Page 271 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
the Whistleblowing Policy, covering violaons of EU and naonal legislaon, internal
regulaons, ethics breaches, data protecon, conicts of interest, environmental concerns,
and other misconduct; and
the Violence & Harassment Policy, covering incidents of discriminaon, violence, harassment
(including gender-based harassment) and domesc violence aecng employees in the
workplace context.
Both mechanisms are fully compliant with relevant Greek legislaon (Law 4990/2022 and Law
4808/2021) and provide clear, secure pathways through which employees can seek remedy.
[S1-3_32 c]
The Company provides mulple dedicated channels that allow employees to raise concerns
safely, condenally and, when preferred, anonymously. These include:
Whistleblowing channels:
A dedicated email: whistleblowing@olp.gr
Postal submissions marked “Condenal”
Physical report boxes at:
o Internal Audit Department (Company HQ)
o Container Terminal Building
o Car Terminal Building
Direct submission to the Whistleblowing responsible
Channels for violence and harassment complaints:
Email to odk@olp.gr
Submission by post to the “HR Department, Reference Person”
Direct communicaon with the Violence & Harassment Incidents Reference Person
Access to the Complaint Management Team for guidance and support
The Company therefore maintains two fully independent and complementary grievance
structures; each tailored to specic categories of incidents but fully aligned in terms of
procedural safeguards. [S1-3_32 b]
The Company acvely supports awareness and availability of these mechanisms through:
posng the policies on the Company’s website: olp.gr - POLICIES
internal communicaon via email and bullens
direct guidance from HR and the Reference Person
training and awareness-raising acons coordinated with the HR Department
open door culture
The Company also ensures that employees can submit reports without fear, and that they are
informed about the process, their rights, and the protecon measures available.
The Company maintains an open and regular social dialogue with trade unions and elected
employee representaves, who play a material role as feedback and escalaon channels on
health and safety, working condions and broader employment issues. Through regular
meengs, joint commiees and consultaon processes, union representaves are able to
convey employees’ concerns regarding occupaonal risks, incidents, near-misses or perceived
deciencies in prevenve and remedial measures. They parcipate, where appropriate, in
Page 272 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
discussions on incident invesgaons and necessary correcve acons, contribute to the
review of health and safety risk assessments, and monitor the implementaon of agreed
improvements.
This connuous interacon ensures that remediaon processes are not only compliant with
legislaon and internal procedures, but also informed by the praccal experience and
expectaons of the workforce, reinforcing trust in the eecveness and fairness of the
Company’s mechanisms. [S1-3_32 d]
The Management Commiee keeps complete records of all reports, invesgaons and acons
taken, and provides quarterly updates to Top Management, including the CEO, Deputy CEOs
and the Audit Commiee. The Violence & Harassment Policy similarly requires the Complaint
Management Team to invesgate, document and communicate outcomes within dened
deadlines, ensuring transparency and accountability. Regular monitoring allows the Company
to evaluate systemic issues, idenfy recurring paerns and implement targeted
improvements. [S1-3_32 e]
Furthermore, the Company’s policies explicitly prohibit any form of retaliaon against
individuals who report concerns in good faith. Condenality of both whistleblowers and
reported people is strictly safeguarded, and employees are informed of their rights through
internal communicaons and accessible policy documents. The Violence & Harassment Policy
further ensures that complainants receive support, can access administrave or judicial
authories, and may request protecve work arrangements when needed. These provisions
contribute to employee trust in the integrity and safety of the mechanisms. [S1-3_33]
S1.4 Taking action on material impacts on own workforce, and
approaches to managing material risks and pursuing material
opportunities related to own workforce, and effectiveness of
those actions
Occupational Health and Safety
The Company operates within a complex port environment, where employees may be exposed
to risks associated with vessels movements, heavy machinery, and demanding operaonal
procedures. Given the nature of these acvies, the Company has developed a structured
occupaonal health and safety framework, focused on prevenon, risk control, and the
connuous improvement of working condions, aiming to migate incident rates and foster a
robust safety culture across its port facilies.
A core component of this framework is the Occupational Risk Assessment Study, which covers
all job positions and is regularly updated to reflect changes in operations and working
condions. Through this process, risks are systemacally idened and assessed, and
appropriate prevenve measures are determined to limit potenal adverse eects on the
workforce.

The Company implements structured procedures and internal regulaons governing port
operaons that facilitate the management of occupaonal risks. At the same me, Standard
Operang Procedures (SOPs) and prevenve controls are implemented, while emergency
response plans are maintained for incidents such as re, earthquakes, natural disasters, or
hazardous spills. These plans are validated through scheduled readiness drills, enhancing
operaonal resilience and migang potenal impacts on the health and safety of the
workfoce.
Employee parcipaon is a key element of the Company's approach. The Health and Safety
Commiee, which consists of employee and management representaves, meets regularly to
review working condions, monitor compliance with safety measures, and make proposals for
improvement. Furthermore, the Company is noed upon the introducon of new
equipment, materials, or installaons that may impact safety, facilitang the mely integraon
of prevenve measures into operaonal planning.
Employees also participate in safety training and awareness initiatives, while role-specific
safety instructions and targeted actions reinforce a culture of prevention and vigilance in the
workplace. In the event of an incident, the Company follows a structured investigation process
to identify root causes and determine corrective and preventive actions. Where employees
are affected by health and safety incidents, the Company ensures the provision of appropriate
support and the remediation of working conditions, while corrective measures are
implemented to prevent recurrence. The conclusions are incorporated into updated
procedures or operational adjustments, ensuring the continuous improvement of safety
practices. [S1-4_38 a], [S1-4_38 b]
At the same me, employee representaves acvely parcipate through the Health and Safety
Commiee, helping to idenfy and assess negave impacts and plan prevenve acons. The
eecveness of the measures is monitored through health and safety indicators and internal
audits, the results of which are used for the evaluaon of the acons' eecveness and the
connuous improvement of the procedures. The monitoring mechanisms include, among
others:
monitoring work-related incidents and health and safety issues,
conducng regular inspecons of workplaces,
assessing the adequacy and use of Personal Protecve Equipment (PPE),

the operaonal readiness of support infrastructure (e.g., 24/7 ambulances) [S1-4_38
d]
The Company has adequate human, organisaonal, material, and nancial resources to
manage and migate the material impacts related to its workforce, with a parcular focus on
occupaonal health and safety. At an organisaonal level, the Human Resources Department
supports the implementaon of relevant policies, while Health and Safety ocers acvely
contribute to the prevenon of occupaonal risks and the monitoring of relevant procedures.
At an operaonal level, the Company systemacally invests in means of prevenon and
response to incidents, providing appropriate Personal Protecve Equipment (PPE) to sta,
depending on the nature of the work. At the same me, two ambulances with trained
personnel are on standby 24 hours per day (24/7) to respond immediately to emergencies,
while debrillators have been installed and are operaonal in crical work areas. In addion,
a budget is available for health and safety acons, sta training, and equipment for the
prevenon and management of emergencies. [S1-4_43]
Finally, one of the Companys fundamental principles is to give priority to the protecon of the
health, safety and rights of employees over operaonal or nancial pressures. In cases of
conict between operaonal objecves and the need for the prevenon of adverse eects on
the workforce, the Company priorises the protecon of employees and takes the necessary
adjustment measures, such as redistribung tasks or adjusng schedules. [S1-4_41]
Employee Health & Safety Incidents
Employee health and safety issues are linked to operaonal risks for the Company, given that
port acvies involve vessel movements, the use of heavy equipment, and complex
operaonal procedures. Potenal work-related injuries or occupaonal health issues may
adversely aect employee well-being and business connuity, while also carrying the potenal
for legal liabilies or reputaonal damage.
The Company implements a structured set of procedures and Standard Operang Procedures
(SOPs) governing port acvies in order to manage and migate the relevant risks. These
procedures incorporate prevenve controls into daily operaons and are supported by training
and awareness-raising acvies, as well as safety guidelines for each job role. Incidents are
recorded, monitored, and analysed systemacally in order to idenfy root causes and
implement correcve and prevenve measures. The ndings are communicated to the
relevant departments, reinforcing the prevenon and safety culture. [S1-4_40 a]
In the context of strengthening prevenon and early warning, the Company is in the process
of developing an ISO 45001-cered Health & Safety Management System, planned for full
implementaon by 2027, which will provide a more comprehensive and standardised
framework for managing occupaonal risks. In parallel, the installaon of weather staons by
2026 for the monitoring of real-me meteorological condions and for the issuing of alerts on
wind or weather phenomena that could aect workforce safety. These iniaves are expected
to further enhance resilience and reduce both the likelihood and severity of incidents.

Governance and oversight mechanisms also support the management of this risk. The Health
& Safety Commiee, comprising employee representaves and management, meets regularly
to examine working condions, discuss incidents and propose improvements. At a strategic
level, the ESG & Sustainability Policy includes commitments to safe and healthy working
condions and alignment with internaonal standards. Management bodies review key
performance indicators and signicant incidents as part of the broader risk-management
framework, ensuring appropriate supervision and connuous improvement. [S1-4_40 a]

Work-life balance and Well-being.
Work-life Balance and well-being have been idened as a material actual posive impact for
the Companys own workforce. The Company provides safe and fair working condions
through a structured internal framework of corporate regulaons and collecve agreements,
which dene clear rules on career development, working condions and employee
parcipaon. This framework contributes to a transparent working environment where
employees feel secure and valued while the Company conrms that all its employees are paid
an adequate wage, in accordance with the applicable legislave and regulatory frameworks
and the relevant benchmarks, as dened by naonal legislaon and collecve labor
agreements. [S1-10_69]
Within this framework, the Sta Promoon Regulaon sets out transparent criteria for
promoons and internal moves and claries rights and obligaons relang to working me,
remuneraon and parcipaon in decision-making. The ESG & Sustainability Policy
complements the Regulaon, the Code of Conduct, the Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Policy
and the Policy to Prevent and Combat Violence and Harassment at Work, which together
promote respect, non-discriminaon, equal opportunies and protecon from inappropriate
behavior, thereby supporng employees’ physical and mental well-being.
The Company maintains open communicaon channels with trade unions and employee
representaves, including regular consultaon on maers related to working condions, well-
being and work-life balance. Social dialogue, parcipaon of workers’ representaves in
health and safety maers and structured feedback mechanisms through training, complaints
and engagement processes strengthen trust, transparency and mutual understanding
between management and sta. [S1-4_38 c], [S1-4_39]
In addion, the Company oers a range of health-related employee benets that directly
support employees’ well-being and their ability to balance professional and personal
responsibilies. These include discounted health diagnosc packages for employees and their
immediate family (screening and consultaon with experts), a Life and Health Insurance
Program covering hospital and out-of-hospital care, accidents and pharmaceucal expenses,
as well as access to interest-free health-related loans. Together with access to prevenve
medical services and family-oriented leave provisions, these benets enhance employees’
sense of security and help them manage unexpected health-related costs. [S1-4_38 c]
The eecveness of the Company’s acons on work-life balance and well-being is reected in
the outcomes of the Company’s Double Materiality Assessment and in workforce indicators.
The Company maintains a highly stable workforce with strong employee engagement and trust
in management, consistently recording low levels of absenteeism and work-related incidents
relave to the nature of port acvies. [S1-4_38 d]

Employee Engagement and Social Dialogue
The Company maintains a long-standing tradion of structured social dialogue and
construcve engagement with its workforce. This has resulted in a posive material impact on
labour relaons, organisaonal stability and employee trust. As one of the largest port
organisaons in Greece, the Company operates in a labour-intensive environment where
collaboraon between management and employee representaves is essenal for ensuring
operaonal connuity and a stable working climate. The percentage of employees that are
covered by collecve bargaining agreements is 100%, while all the employees (100%) are
covered by social protecon. [S1-8_60 a], [S1-4_38 c]
Furthermore, all employees are covered by social protecon schemes, either through the
naonal public social security system or through supplementary benets provided by the
Company, against loss of income resulng from major life events. Specically, employees are
covered in relaon to:
sickness [S1-11_74 a]
unemployment [S1-11_74 b]
occupaonal accident and acquired disability [S1-11_74 c]
parental leave [S1-11_74 d]

in accordance with applicable Greek legislaon and the Companys addional benets

Furthermore, all the PPA S.A. employees receive adequate remuneraon in accordance with
the applicable legislave and regulatory frameworks and benchmarks, as dened by naonal
legislaon and collecve labour agreements [S1-10_69]

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Regular interacon between management and employees, including formal meengs with
unions, day-to-day exchanges and ongoing consultaon on employment maers, supports an
environment in which employees feel encouraged to express their views, raise concerns and
contribute to discussions that inuence decision-making. This connuous engagement allows
workplace issues to be idened and addressed early, helping prevent escalaon and
reinforcing transparency and mutual understanding.
Employee unions play a central role in this posive impact. PPA S.A.s employees parcipate
acvely through four primary unions (Permanent Employees, Technicians & Operators Union,
Dockworkers Union and the Associaon of Supervisors-Foremen) and one secondary union
(Federaon of Employees of Greek Ports). Union parcipaon covers nearly the enre
workforce. In 2025, 1031 employees were union members, including 884 men and 147
women. This high level of representaon contributes to structured communicaon, promotes
trust and strengthens collecve representaon. The Company maintains regular
communicaon with union representaves on key topics such as working condions, health
and safety, training, stang needs and organisaonal changes, helping maintain predictable
labour relaons and reducing the risk of conict or operaonal disrupon. Furthermore, the
Company's unions are acvely involved in European representave bodies. Specically, there
is representaon on the European Dockworkers Council (EDC), which strengthens the
internaonal dimension of trade union acon and the connecon with European ports. The
Permanent Employees Union and the Technicians and Operators Union parcipate in the EDC
through the Federaon of Greek Port Employees (OMYLE), while the Dockworkers Union is
also a member of the EDC. This parcipaon strengthens the instuonal representaon of
workers at European level, facilitates the exchange of know-how and good pracces, and
contributes to the formaon of common posions on issues relang to labour relaons and
employment condions in the port sector. [S1-8 63 b]
In addion to union engagement, the Company facilitates open communicaon through
various channels that allow employees to express their views, seek informaon and provide
feedback. These include:
internal announcements
email communicaon
the Oce Automaon (OA) system for processing requests
direct dialogue with management under the Company’s open-door approach
Feedback is also collected through structured mechanisms such as targeted compliance
surveys, OA plaorm assessments and exit interviews. These tools help the Company monitor
employee senment, idenfy areas for improvement and evaluate the eecveness of its
engagement acons. [S1-2_27 a], [S1-2_27 b], [S1-2_27 c], [S1-2_27 e]

PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
As a result of these engagement mechanisms, employees experience a stronger sense of
representaon and greater condence in inuencing maers that aect their work
environment. At the same me, the Organisaon benets from smoother day-to-day
operaons, reduced labour-related risks and a more cohesive organisaonal culture. Social
dialogue contributes to workforce stability, supports retenon and reinforces long-term
organisaonal performance.
Equal Opportunities
PPA S.A. fosters an inclusive, fair and non-discriminatory working environment, generang an
actual posive social impact on its workforce. The Company implements structured Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion (DEI) pracces that promote equal treatment in employment,
recruitment, training and professional development.
The Companys commitment to equal opportunies is embedded in its DEI Policies, the Code
of Conduct and all HR procedures, ensuring transparent and objecve decision-making across
the employee lifecycle The Company has an approved Diversity, Equality & Inclusion (DEI)
Policy covering all employees, regardless of employment status or naonality. In addion,
diversity criteria for members of the Board of Directors are further specied in the Company’s
separate Diversity Policy for BoD Members.
The Company already meets the 33% gender representaon requirement for Boards under
Naonal Law 5178/2025, achieving compliance ahead of the 2026 legal deadline. This
demonstrates PPA S.A.s early integraon of EU DEI principles and its strong governance on
diversity.

The Company monitors and evaluates the implementaon and eecveness of relevant
acons and iniaves through specic mechanisms and procedures.
In parcular:
Compliance with regulaons and policies is monitored by relevant organisaonal
units, in addion to the Human Resources Department, such as the Regulatory
Compliance, Risk Management, and Internal Audit, which contribute to ensuring
compliance and evaluang the eecve implementaon of relevant procedures.
The Company maintains reporng channels through which reports or complaints
regarding unequal treatment or policy violaons can be submied. To date, no cases
of unequal treatment have been recorded.
The Company's operaons are aligned with the country's current instuonal
framework, such as Law 5178/2025 on gender balance on the BoD, which also serves
as a basis for monitoring the implementaon of equality principles.
The presence and operaon of employee unions for various sta categories serves as
an addional communicaon channel and mechanism for raising issues related to
human resources.
Through the above mechanisms, the Company systemacally monitors the implementaon of
relevant policies and evaluates the eecveness of acons and iniaves aimed at ensuring
equal treatment and equal opportunies for its workforce.
These pracces create a workplace where equal treatment is embedded in daily operaons,
supporng Equal Opportunies on the Company’s material IRO and contribung to a fair and
inclusive working environment. [S1-1_18], [S1-4_38 c], [S1-4_38 d]
In 2025, PPA SA employed 11 people (1.03% of the total number of employees) with
disabilies, of whom 5 (0.55% of the total number of employees) are men and 6 (3.75% of
the total number of employees) are women, promong inclusion and providing access to
jobs for underrepresented groups. [S1-12_79, S1-12_80]
The disclosure of informaon relang to persons with disabilies is carried out in accordance
with the applicable naonal legal and regulatory framework. The data is sourced from
internal human resources records and is based on available and legally processable
informaon. Given that the Company operates exclusively in Greece, there are no

It should be noted that for the current reporting year, the staff classification has been revised into three groups
(Senior Management, Department Heads, Employees), compared to the previous year, when staff were presented
as Senior Management, Supervisors, Office Employees, Technical Staff, Dockworkers, and Foremen. Under the new
scheme, Senior Management corresponds to the same category, Supervisors are included in the Department Heads
category, and all other categories fall under Employees.

The gender pay gap is calculated as the difference between the average gross hourly earnings of men and
women, divided by the average gross hourly earnings of men and expressed as a percentage. The result is −5.06%,
which indicates that women have an average higher gross hourly earnings than men.

Diverse talent attraction
The Company operates in a tradionally male-dominated sector where diversity across age,
gender and cultural background remains limited naonally and internaonally. This creates a
signicant strategic opportunity for the Company to strengthen its posion as an inclusive
employer and aract a broader range of talent. To capitalise on this opportunity, the Company
implements specic policies and pracces that promote inclusion and equal treatment in the
workplace. Specically, the Company implements a Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Policy,
and maintains an established and transparent promoon process through its Sta Promoon
Regulaons, ensuring equal career advancement opportunies for all employees. At the same
me, it implements collecve bargaining agreements that guarantee fair employment terms.
As part of its eorts to aract new talent, the Company parcipates in university career days
and career fairs, while job posngs are published in a manner that is open and accessible to
all candidates, without discriminaon. Through these and other iniaves, the Company seeks
to strengthen its posion as an inclusive employer and aract a broader and more diverse
range of talent. [S1-4_40 b]The Companys workforce already reects a mix of professional
backgrounds, age groups and funconal roles. Women currently represent 15% of total
employees, while employees under 30 constute a smaller share of the workforce, consistent
with wider sectoral dynamics. [S1-6_50 a], [S1-9_66 b]
Representaon varies across hierarchical levels: administrave roles show comparavely
stronger gender balance, whereas technical and dockworker roles remain predominantly
male. These paerns highlight the potenal to broaden the candidate pool and strengthen
diversity over me.

By enhancing representaon across genders, age groups, cultural backgrounds and people
with disabilies, the Company can expand its skills base, strengthen organisaonal adaptability
and improve decision-making. This opportunity supports long-term compeveness in a
rapidly evolving labour market and aligns with emerging EU expectaons on inclusion and
social sustainability [S1-4_40 b]
The eecveness of these pracces is reected in the Companys stable workforce structure,
its transparent career-development framework and its consistently high levels of employee

Training, Skills and Technological Readiness
The Company places strong emphasis on connuous learning and capability building,
recognising that the port sector is undergoing rapid technological, digital and environmental
transformaon. To support workforce readiness and maintain operaonal excellence, the
Company implements a structured and comprehensive training framework, governed by the
Personnel Training Policy, which ensures equal access to development opportunies for all
employees, including xed-term sta. [S1-4_38 c]
Training needs are idened through the Annual Training Plan, ad-hoc departmental requests,
performance evaluaons and cercaon requirements. The Human Resources Department
coordinates all training processes (needs idencaon, provider selecon, approvals,
scheduling and monitoring), as well as the documentaon of training parcipaon and
outcomes. [S1-4_39] Parcipaon in approved training programs is mandatory, and all
cercates or proof of successful aendance are recorded in employees’ personal les.
During the reporng period, employees parcipated in a diverse range of training programs
covering sustainability, compliance, health and safety, digital skills, operaonal procedures,
specialised technical skills. In total, 16,237 training hours were delivered in 2025 (2024:

To support structured professional development, a Competency Model and Managers’
Assessment framework has been implemented, enabling annual evaluaon of skills,
performance and capability gaps. These processes help idenfy areas where upskilling is
required and enhance alignment with technological and operaonal needs. [S1-4_83 a]
Training & Skills Development for New Technologies
Technological and environmental transitions in global shipping (e.g. automation, digitalisation,
alternative fuels and new energy systems) require employees to acquire new skills to safely
and efficiently operate evolving port infrastructure. The Company is actively preparing its
workforce through targeted training, induction, certifications and collaboration with external
institutions.
Although most initiatives are still expanding, the Company already provides structured
learning on ESG issues, specialised technical training, Code of Conduct training and continuous
on-the-job development. These efforts help ensure that employees can adapt to new
technologies, improving operational safety, efficiency and readiness for future regulatory and
technological changes. [S1-4_38 a]

Skill Gap and Technological Readiness
The accelerated automation and digitalisation of port operations create a significant risk if the
workforce is not adequately prepared. Insufficient familiarity with new systems could lead to
lower productivity, operational errors, higher safety risks and reduced competitiveness versus
technologically advanced ports.
The Company mitigates this risk through the structured Training Policy, annual skill
assessments and department-level evaluations that identify training needs and areas where
upskilling is essential. These processes form the basis for training roadmaps that support
workforce readiness and prevent capability gaps. [S1-4_40 a], [S1-4_40 b]. Failure to address
these gaps could hinder the Companys transition toward more efficient and sustainable
operations, increase operational costs and delay innovation.
Upskilling Technological Capabilities of Workforce
As ports internationally shift toward digital, automated and low-carbon operations, the
Company has a strategic opportunity to enhance its competitive position by investing in
technological upskilling. Strengthening digital literacy, operational capabilities, and knowledge
of new technologies can:
improve efficiency and accuracy in port operations
enhance safety and reduce incident likelihood
support faster adoption of alternative fuels and greener operations
attract high-calibre talent aligned with future port needs
reinforce the Companys position as a leading Mediterranean port embracing innovation
By building a tech-ready workforce, the Company increases its resilience and its long-term
ability to respond to global maritime shifts [S1-4_40 b]. Effectiveness is reflected in training
participation levels, skill-development outcomes and the ability of employees to adapt to new
technological and operational demands [S1-4_40 a].
Employee evaluation
The percentage of employees who parcipated in regular performance and professional
development evaluaons totalled 97.5% of the workforce (1,032 employees out of a total of
1,058). The breakdown of this percentage by gender is 97.77% for male employees and 96.25%
for female employees. [S1-13_83 a]
The Company has adequate human, financial, and organisational resources to manage the
material impacts related to its human resources. The implementation of the relevant policies,
procedures, and actions is mainly supported by the Human Resources Department, in
collaboration with other relevant functions of the Company, such as the Occupational Health
and Safety function. The implementation of the relevant policies, procedures, and actions is

The Company allocates resources for the implementation of training and skills development
programs, initiatives for employee health and safety, as well as actions that promote employee
well-being and professional development. To support these actions, internal human resources
management systems are utilised and, where necessary, collaborations with external
specialised partners, such as training providers and health and safety consultants is used.
These resources contribute to the effective implementation of relevant policies and
procedures and to the management of material impacts related to the Company's human
resources. [S1-4_43]
Further information on the actions defined by PPA S.A. is presented in the “Targets and
Actions Table” in section S1.5.
S1.5 Targets related to managing material negative impacts,
advancing positive impacts and managing material risks and
opportunities
Regarding the targets, the base year has been set as 2024 [MDR-T 80(d)]. Specically, for the
target “Number of accidents,the base year is 2022. The methodology applied for dening
and monitoring the targets is based on tracking relevant performance indicators (KPIs) [MDR-
T 80(d)]. The Company has established specic targets, with corresponding acons, for some
of the material topics it has addressed, as presented in the table below. These targets are not
quaned [MDR-T 80(b)], [MDR-M 75], [MDR-M 76], [MDR-M 77(c)]. Furthermore, no
specic methodologies or signicant assumpons have been used in the development of the
targets [MDR-T 80(f)], and there is no structured stakeholder engagement process in their
denion [MDR-T 80(h)]. Scienc evidence was not taken into account for target seng
[MDR-T 80(g)]. Finally, no changes have been made to targets, methodologies, or
assumpons, as the related processes are sll at an early stage of development and
maturaon [MDR-T 80(i)].
No targets have yet been set for the impact “Work–Life Balance and Wellbeing, as the
Company plans to develop the relevant targets in the coming years [MDR-T 81].

ESRS S3- Affected Communities
S3.SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their
interaction with PPA’s strategy and business model
Stakeholders Interests and Opinions [S3. SBM-2 7]
The Company idenes the local and regional communies aected by port acvies as a key
stakeholder group, incorporang their interests, perspecves, and rights into its strategy and
business model. Through stakeholder engagement processes and communicaon channels,
the Company gathers feedback regarding the social and environmental impacts of the port
operaons, which is evaluated by management and incorporated into the sustainability
strategy and decisions concerning the operaon and development of the port, with the aim of
ensuring responsible business conduct and the protecon of human rights.
Ports worldwide act as major economic engines, supporng and smulang local, regional and
naonal economies through job creaon and the movement of goods. At the same me,
neighbouring communies are mainly aected by environmental pressures arising from port
operaons and related transport networks. As a result, ports face the ongoing challenge of
creang local value while maintaining the support and acceptance of neighbouring
communies. These impacts arise directly from the Companys business model and
operaonal strategy and are taken into account in their planning and adjustment through the
integraon of migaon measures and related iniaves, as well as by leveraging feedback
from aected communies and other stakeholders [S3.SBM-3_8].
In the case of the port of Piraeus, the aected communies include residents, businesses and
workers who operate or reside in areas adjacent to the port's operang zones, specically in
the following areas:
Piraeus
Perama
Keratsini–Drapetsona
Salamina [S3.SBM-3_9 a (i)]
These communies interact daily with port operaons and are exposed to both posive socio-
economic benets and environmental pressures associated with marime and land-based
acvity. The vicinity of ship repair, cruise operaons, ferry terminals and logiscs corridors
creates a parcularly close port–city relaonship.
Furthermore, due to the geographically concentrated nature of the Company’s operaons and
the absence of signicant evidence of community-level impacts beyond the ports immediate
operang area, value-chain communies were not idened in the assessment.

Although the aected communies within the value chain are considered in the Company's
double materiality assessment, they do not present signicant risks or challenges that would
jusfy their presence in the Company's sustainability report for the reporng period. [S3.SBM-

In the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment review, S3- Aected Communies chapter

impacts on the wider community, to progressively migate them where possible, and to
implement targeted community-focused iniaves that oset, to the greatest extent possible,
any remaining impacts.

The Company contributes substanally to the local and naonal economy by generang
employment opportunies and supporng the global logiscs chain, while through its
operaons it directly facilitates trade and indirectly supports industry and service sectors. Job
creaon and economic development extend beyond Greece, given the Company’s strategic
geographical posion. As one of the major European ports in the Eastern Mediterranean,
located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe, it provides the infrastructure required to
serve signicant volumes of transit trade.
Furthermore, the Company, as a major gateway in global trade, generates positive impacts
for affected communities through its responsible business operations and its structured
Sustainability approach. By committing to safe working conditions, the protection of human
rights throughout its value chain, to the level possible, the transparent stakeholder
engagement and the continuous minimisation of environmental impacts, the Company
strengthens trust with residents, public authorities and business partners contributing to a
stable social licence to operate and enhancing the long-term reputation of the port in the
regions it operates.
Through its CSR initiatives, the Company supports education, culture, social inclusion and local
development in the wider Piraeus area, benefiting communities in Piraeus, Drapetsona
Keratsini, Perama and Salamina. Partnerships with educational institutions, support to cultural
and sports activities and contributions to local social programmes foster community well-
being, strengthen local capabilities and promote cohesion in a dense urban environment

influenced by port operations. These actions help build more resilient, engaged and
prosperous communities while reinforcing the Company’s role as a responsible corporate
citizen. [S3.SBM-3_9 c]
At the same time, as with all large-scale port operations, the operation of the port may entail
certain challenges and negative impacts, for neighboring communities, mainly in relation to
increased traffic and congestion in the wider area. This impact may affect the daily life and
quality of life of residents, while in some areas it may appear with greater intensity, such as in
the Perama Shipbuilding and Repair Zone, where local communities are in closer proximity to
the relevant port operations. To address these impacts and mitigate associated risks, the
Company has established mechanisms covering both environmental and operational aspects,
which are presented later in this section. [S3.SBM-3_9 b]
The Company assessed whether certain affected communities may reasonably be at greater
risk of experiencing impacts, based on objective factors such as geographical proximity to
operational areas, the type and intensity of port-related activities and the physical
characteristics of the surrounding environment. Communities located immediately adjacent
to key operational zones, such as those near cargo handling areas, ferry terminals or the Ship
Repair Zone, were considered more likely to experience potential exposure to environmental
pressures associated with port activities compared to communities located at further
distances.
This understanding was developed through a structured review of the spatial relationship
between port operations and residential areas, the nature of activities carried out in each zone
and publicly available environmental and urban data. No additional groups of affected
communities were identified as being at heightened risk beyond those located in the
immediate vicinity of the port’s operational footprint. [S3.SBM-3_10]
S3.1 PPA S.A.’s Policies related to affected communities
The Company has established a comprehensive policy framework aimed at prevenng,
migang, and, where necessary, remediaon of the potenal impacts of its operaons on
aected communies, while maximising the posive socio-economic value created through
the Port of Piraeus. These policies guide responsible business conduct, environmental and
corporate social responsibility, stakeholder engagement and transparent reporng.
They apply across all the Company acvies and form the basis for managing the material
impacts regarding the Aected Communies” secon as idened in the 2025 Double
Materiality Assessment, namely:
Job creation and Economic Growth and
Corporate Social Responsibility [S3-1_12]
The set of interrelated policies that collecvely ensure a responsible, ethical and sustainable
approach to operaons are as follows and addional details may be found in the relevant
secon of the current Statement the ESG & Sustainability Policy,
the Quality, Environmental & Energy Policy,
the Code of Conduct, and
the Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure for Managing Reports and Complaints.

They are embedded into the Company’s day-to-day operaons and apply to all employees,
contractors, partners and third pares acng on behalf of the Company. [S3-1_14],
[S3.MDR_P_65 a]
The ESG and Sustainability Policy provides the overarching framework for integrang
environmental & corporate social responsibility, as well as good governance pracces, into
business processes. It sets out the Company’s objecve of responsible operaons, minimizing
environmental impacts, enhancing social dialogue and contribung posively to society. It
outlines key commitments related to climate change migaon, environmental performance,
stakeholder collaboraon, and human rights, and is aligned with internaonally recognised
standards including the UN Global Compact, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights, relevant Internaonal Labour Organisaon (ILO convenons), ISO 9001:2015, ISO
14001:2015, ISO 50001:2018, and ISO 14064-1:2018. [S3-1_17, MDR-P_65 d] Oversight is
assigned to the ESG Committee, which acts as the policy owner and ensures proper
implementation and alignment with the Company’s strategic direction. [S3.MDR_P_65 c, S3-
1_16]
Through its ESG and Sustainability Policy, the Company recognises the importance of
stakeholder engagement and collaboraon with local communies, governmental agencies,
NGOs and industry partners to co-develop soluons that balance economic development and
environmental protecon. The Company maintains open communicaon channels and
parcipates in processes requiring public consultaon, thereby integrang community
feedback into decision-making and environmental management pracces. [S3-1_16 b]
However, through the Code of Ethics, the Company is committed to respecting human rights,
which are taken into account within the broader approach to sustainable development,
corporate governance, and compliance with the applicable regulatory and institutional
framework. [S3-1_16]
In addion, the Quality, Environmental & Energy Policy denes the Company’s commitment
to idenfying and managing signicant environmental impacts across its operaons and value
chain. This Policy emphasises prevenon and migaon of polluon, enhancement of
resource eciency and operaon under a cered Integrated Management System aligned
with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 50001:2018 and ISO 14064-1:2018. These systems
support connuous improvement, eecve operaonal control and transparent
communicaon with interested pares. At the same me, the Policy provides for the
implementaon of documented procedures, monitoring mechanisms, and targeted acon
plans, which are implemented under the Company’s Integrated Management System,
ensuring that environmental commitments are consistently translated into pracce. [S3-
1_17], [MDR-P_65d]
The Company places parcular emphasis on maintaining secure and reliable communicaon
channels for reporng problems by individuals and communies. The Whistleblowing Policy
establishes a structured and condenal mechanism for idenfying and addressing potenal
illegal, irregular or unethical acvies, including those that may relate to community impacts.
The policy further outlines clear reporng channels, denes responsibilies, and enables
correcve acons that strengthen transparency, risk migaon and accountability.

Whistleblowing Commiee, appointed by Top Management, includes representaves from
the Regulatory Compliance Unit, the Human Resources Department and the Legal
Department, with the support of the Data Protecon Ocer. The Policy is fully aligned with
Law 4990/2022, which incorporates Direcve (EU) 2019/1937 and complies with GDPR and
naonal data-protecon requirements. [S3-1_16 c], [S3-1_17]
Collecvely, these Policies form a coherent and integrated framework that supports the
management of the Companys impact on aected communies, aligns with applicable
standards and regulaons and strengthens the Company’s contribuon to sustainable
development. More Informaon about the policies can be found on the chapters E1-Climate
Change, S1-Own Workforce, and G1-Business Conduct.
S3.2 - Processes for engaging with affected communities about
impacts
The Company recognises the importance of understanding the perspecves of local
communies and maintaining open and accessible channels through which concerns,
comments and observaons can be raised. Engagement with aected communies takes place
directly, primarily through the corporate email address published on the Company’s website,
which is available for residents and other interested pares to submit queries or feedback. In
addion, the Company maintains regular and direct communicaon with local Municipalies
on various issues that may arise, ensuring mely coordinaon and eecve resoluon of
maers of local relevance. This communicaon is conducted in person and by telephone and
occurs frequently, reecng the Organisaon’s commitment to maintaining transparent and
cooperave relaonships with municipal authories. No engagement through intermediaries,
proxies or formal community representaves has been idened within the current reporng
framework. [S3-3_21 a]
Engagement occurs on an ongoing basis, as the communicaon channels remain connuously
accessible. The nature of engagement mainly consists of wrien exchanges, enabling members
of the community to contact the Company whenever an issue arises relang to their interests
or well-being. Similarly, interacons with Municipalies take place whenever operaonal,
social or environmental maers require coordinaon, with discussions held directly and oen
informally to ensure the mely and ecient handling of the issues arising. This process allows
the Company to receive input on a regular basis and to respond to potenal issues where
necessary. Apart from this connuous communicaon mechanism no addional structured
stages or forms of engagement have been reported. [S3-3_21 b]
Responsibility for ensuring that engagement with local communies takes place while the
insights collected through the relevant communicaon channels are incorporated in the
Company’s decision-making through the management structure. The CEO holds the most
senior responsibility for social engagement maers, overseeing community-related issues and
approving relevant social iniaves. Community input and comments received through the
Company’s communicaon channels are escalated through internal processes that ensure all
relevant maers are brought to the aenon of senior leadership when necessary.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Similarly, feedback originang from the collaboraon and discussions with Municipalies is
assessed internally, with signicant maers are forwarded to senior management to ensure
alignment with the Company’s strategic and operaonal planning. [S3-3_21 c]
The eecveness of this engagement is supported through the Company’s established process
for receiving, registering and managing comments and complaints submied via the corporate
website and email. Submissions are handled in accordance with the Companys internal
Complaints & Comments Management Procedure, which ensures condenal treatment in
compliance with GDPR and provides a structured process for reviewing and responding to
concerns. While this mechanism applies to individual submissions, issues raised through
ongoing communicaon with Municipalies are also recorded and monitored where relevant,
supporng coordinated follow-up and shared problem-solving. This mechanism allows the
Company to track any issues raised, ensure follow-up where required and integrate relevant
feedback into its connuous improvement eorts. [S3-3_21 d]
S3.3 - Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels
for affected communities to raise concerns
Remediation and Channels for Raising Concerns
All residents and members of the wider community are able to submit their comments,
complaints or any maers of concern through the Company’s corporate email address, which
is publicly available on its website. The Markeng and Quality Control departments receive
complaints or posive feedback via clientservice@olp.gr. The Markeng department forwards
the complaint to all involved departments and to clientservice@olp.gr requesng feedback
(provision of informaon) from the Directors of the responsible departments as soon as
possible, and no later than three (3) business days. In the case of cruise or ferry passenger
complaints falling under Greek Law 3709/2008 (FEK 213A/14−10−2008) regarding terminal
management operators, as amended, or Regulaon (EC) No 1177/2010, PPA S.A. must nofy
the passenger in wring within one (1) month of receipt of the complaint whether it was
upheld, rejected, or is sll under review. The me required to provide the nal wrien
response will not exceed two (2) months from receipt of the complaint. The Markeng and
Quality Control departments monitor the response process to ensure that all the accusers
receive a reply and maintain the relevant stascal records.
Understanding community concerns enables the Company to idenfy weaknesses and
incorporate relevant perspecves into its strategy. These communicaon channels also
contribute to mely addressing issues that may require correcve acon. [S3-3_27 a, S3-3_27
b]
All feedback received from stakeholders is treated
condenally and is managed in accordance with the
Company’s Complaints & Comments Management
Procedure, which is fully compliant with GDPR requirement
[S3-3_28]
In 2025, zero incidents or
issues related to human

As part of its due diligence processes, the Company has designated the Head of the Risk
Management Unit as the Ocer Responsible for the Receipt and Monitoring of Reports. The
Company’s Whistleblowing Policy ensures that concerns can be expressed safely and
transparently through mulple communicaon channels, including:
Email: whistleblowing@olp.gr
Postal mail addressed to the Ocer Responsible for the Receipt and Monitoring of
Reports with the indicaon “Condenal”.
Physical reporng boxes located at Company facilies
The relevant boxes for reports/complaints are located at the following points within the
Company’s facilies:
Outdoor area of the Internal Audit Department Oce (PPA central building)
Container Terminal Building (ground oor next to the elevator)
Car Terminal Building (ground oor next to the main entrance)
In any case where a report/complaint is submied to a dierent corporate email and not to
whistleblowing@olp.gr, it must be forwarded to this address by any recipient, so that the
Compliance Ocer is noed and can take appropriate acon.
Given that the procedure is governed by condenality regarding all collected and analyzed
data, personnel are encouraged to submit each report/complaint openly to facilitate proper,
faster review, evaluaon, and invesgaon.
The management of reports/complaints is based on the following characteriscs considered
to constute/ensure an eecve dispute resoluon plan:
Accessibility: The Policy and Procedure for managing reports/complaints is easy to
understand and use.
Condenality: Informaon regarding a report/complaint is provided only to those
designated to know about it, in order to take proper acons to resolve it.
Independence: The Compliance Ocer and the Reports Management Commiee
operate independently in carrying out their dues from both the reporng person and
the reported person. [S3-3_27 c]
In addion, the monitoring of reports and complaints submied by stakeholders is further
supported by the Data Protecon Ocer (DPO), who ensures compliance with personal data
protecon regulaons. These mechanisms reect commitment to responsible business
conduct by integrang reporng channels into its broader due diligence framework. The
structured reporng system enables the mely and appropriate handling of issues,
strengthening transparency and accountability across the Company’s operaons. All the above
procedures and mechanisms are described in the Reports/Complaints Management Policy and
Procedure, which is posted on the Companys ocial website (hps://www.olp.gr/el/o-
organismos/etairiki-diakivernisi/polikes). [S3-3_28]
For issues such as trac, air polluon and the overall safety of the port and surrounding
communies, the Company collaborates with local authories and government bodies to
address these maers collecvely and enhance posive outcomes. [S3-3_27 d] Through its
reporng mechanisms, communicaon channels and connuous cooperaon with local
municipalies, any issues or complaints that arise are addressed either through policy review
or through immediate acons aimed at reducing negave impacts, depending on the nature
of each case.

The Company’s CEO ulmately holds full responsibility for acons related to the protecon
and support of aected communies. The CEO oversees social contribuon iniaves and due
diligence processes maintaining a consistent overview of the maers aecng the community.
All social iniaves and support programs are subject to the CEO’s approval, ensuring
alignment with the Company’s strategic priories and commitments to sustainable
development. [S3-2_21 c]
S3.4 Actions and approaches regarding material impacts on
affected communities
Job Creation and Economic Growth
The Company plays a key role in generang local jobs, driving naonal economic growth and
enabling internaonal trade. The port of Piraeus has a tangible posive impact on employment
and economic development both in the communies surrounding the port and across the
naonal economy. Enhancing employment opportunies has consistently remained a priority
for the Company. By creang job opportunies, the Company contributes to social well-being
and helps reduce unemployment at both the local and naonal level. Increased employment
also strengthens the purchasing power of the workforce, smulang economic acvity in the
wider Piraeus region, while supporng strategic objecves related to the ports sustainability,
reputaon and social contribuon.
Port’s operaons also support a diverse value chain, engaging local suppliers and businesses
in sectors such as logiscs, ship repair, transportaon and other port-related services, thereby
reinforcing the economic vitality of neighbouring municipalies. As a major gateway for trade
in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Company plays a signicant role in Greece’s GDP by
facilitang trade, investment and industrial acvity. Port’s strategic role enhances the
country’s compeveness, strengthens supply chains and ensures long-term economic
resilience for both local communies and businesses. As a result, the Company’s presence
generates sustained employment, income opportunies and economic circulaon in Piraeus
and beyond, strengthening both the regional economy and the broader social fabric of the
communies that depend on the port.
The Company reinforces its commitment to job creaon and contribuon to naonal GDP
through iniaves such as:
Providing reduced dues for exporng cargo to support the naonal economy and the
balance of payments
Operating the largest coastal passenger terminal in Europe, which promotes national
cohesion and supports the economic development of the islands, with port fees
remaining unchanged since 2016 to enable low-cost coastal connections
Offering special pricing policies for vessels serving remote island routes
Achieving high-performing economic indicators (KPIs) reported in the annual financial
statements.
Establishing acons and performance indicators specically related to the Companys
contribuon to naonal GDP. [S3-4_31 b]

Impacts of Pollution on Local Communities in Relation to Quality of Life
(Traffic Congestion) (Material Topic for the Company)
Communities surrounding the Port of Piraeus are exposed to environmental pressures
associated with the Company’s port and shipping activities, the most significant being traffic
congestion caused by vehicle circulation, port operations, and the concentration of transport
flows in the wider area. Increased traffic congestion may negatively affect the daily lives and
quality of life of residents in neighboring areas, as it is associated with higher noise levels,
deterioration of air quality, travel delays, and general stress on the urban fabric.
At the same me, some external impacts, such as trac congeson and environmental
burden, are addressed through structured mechanisms led by the State, designed to balance
port acvies with broader societal needs. [S3-4_33 a, S3-4_33 b, S3-4_35] Migaon of such
external impacts is part of naonal policy and, therefore, is not solely at the discreon of
private enes like Piraeus Port Authority S.A. [S3-4_32 d]
Where negave impacts cannot be fully avoided, the Company provides or enables
remediaon through compensaon mechanisms established under the Concession
Agreement with the Hellenic Republic. Within this framework, the Company indirectly makes
nancial compensatory contribuons to the neighboring municipalies of Piraeus,
Drapetsona-Keratsini, Perama, and Salamina, as provided in the Concession Agreement. In
2025, the amount paid to the Hellenic Republic reached €9,000,000 [S3-4_38], supporng
local development, public infrastructure, and essenal community services. Addionally,
specic land areas within the ports terrestrial zone have been allocated for public interest
purposes, including healthcare facilies and other essenal public services, as well as the
construcon of a recreaonal park, enhancing community resilience and social well-being. [S3-
4_32 b]
The Company idenes appropriate measures to address negave impacts through
environmental monitoring systems, environmental assessments, and public consultaon
processes linked to environmental permits (EPE, AEPO, MPE), which ensure regulatory
compliance and provide opportunies for stakeholder parcipaon. [S3-4_33 c] Furthermore,
the Company has completed a strategic resilience assessment and plans to implement shore-
to-ship electricaon infrastructure (cold ironing), allowing vessels to connect to the local
electricity grid while docked. [S3-4_31 a, S3-4_32 a, S3-4_33 b, S3-4_35]
Decisions regarding prevenve or correcve measures reect combined informaon from
monitoring results, public feedback, and regulatory trends (including Med SECA and EU
emissions direcves), ensuring that acons remain relevant, proporonate, and aligned with
broader environmental objecves. [S3-4_33 a]
The eecveness of the Company’s acons is monitored through connuous reporng,
dened sustainability targets, structured control programs, consultaon requirements, and
maintenance of communicaon channels with communies. [S3-4_32 d] These systems
enable Piraeus Port Authority S.A. to track progress, idenfy areas needing further
intervenon, and ensure that environmental and compensatory measures achieve the
expected outcomes. Overall, the Company’s structured compensatory and environmental
management frameworks contribute to long-term community resilience and environmental
protecon.

Corporate Social Responsibility (Company Specific)
The Company, being a crical node in global trade, is expected to operate responsibly, ensuring
safe working condions, protecng human rights in the value chain, minimising polluon, and
engaging transparently with stakeholders. The Company’s CSR approach enhances the
communitys and business partners’ trust, thus contribung to the Companys operaonal
eciency and long-term reputaon.
Through its CSR iniaves, PPA S.A. creates tangible posive impacts on local communies by
supporng educaon, culture, social inclusion, and local development in the wider Piraeus
area.
CSR acons, such as partnerships with schools and universies, sponsorship of cultural and
sport acvies, and donaons to local social programs, strengthen community well-being,
foster local skills and opportunies, and promote cultural cohesion in an urban environment
directly inuenced by port operaons. In 2025, the Company contributed over €730,000 in
donaon and sponsorships. [S3-4 31 b]
Sponsorship Programme
The Company has launched a new Scholarship Program for the 2025-2026 academic year,
underscoring its commitment to supporng local communies through educaonal iniaves.
The program allocates a total of €30,000 in funding, providing ten scholarships of €3,000 each
to outstanding rst-year university students from the broader Piraeus region. Through this
nancial contribuon, the Company supports the reducon of economic barriers to higher
educaon, rewards academic excellence, and invests in the development of the next
generaon. The iniave reects the organisaon’s broader corporate social responsibility
strategy, fostering long-term social value and strengthening its es with the communies it
serves. [S.3- MDR-A_68 a, S.3- MDR-A_68 b, S.3- MDR-A_68 c, S.3- MDR-A_69 b, S3-4_32 c]
Community park at the cruise terminal
In cooperaon with COSCO SHIPPING and within the framework of CSR and enhanced
engagement with local communies, the Company has undertaken the responsibility of
creang a new, modern public park for the Municipality of Piraeus. The iniave includes a
modern playground and a dedicated bicycle lane within the ports cruise-terminal area. The
project aims to enhance relaons with the local community and the Municipality of Piraeus,
while providing a signicant environmental and social benet. The planned 125-hectare green
space is expected to help migate negave environmental impacts, parcularly air polluon
and noise, by acng as a natural buer and contribung to air ltraon. The total budget for
the park remains esmated at €4.4 million. T
he Company will connue tracking community sasfacon, the mely resoluon of
community complaints and the number of training courses conducted on eecve complaint-
handling processes, through the communicaon channels dened above. [S.3- MDR-A_68 a,

Port Users/Stakeholders Council
In 2024, the Company launched the establishment of a Port Users/Stakeholders Council, which
is planned to meet on a semi-annual basis. This iniave aims to strengthen the Companys
stakeholder-management framework and enhance open communicaon with all port users
and stakeholder groups. Throughout 2025, the Company monitors parcipaon levels in the
Council, the number of acve users involved, and the number of requests and complaints
submied and resolved within the dened response meframe. [S.3- MDR-A_68 a, S.3- MDR-

Participation in Trade Associations and Unions
In 2025, the Company also began acons to expand its parcipaon in trade associaons and
unions to reinforce its acve role within the local community and the wider marime sector.
As part of promong social dialogue, the Company is monitoring its social-media accounts and
tracking outreach acvies and engagement metrics throughout the year. [S.3- MDR-A_68 a,

Distribution of Christmas gift vouchers to children in the neighbouring municipalities
Every Christmas season the Company distributes through the local authories more than
5,000 Christmas gi vouchers for children in the neighbouring municipalies, as well as
families of workers in the ship repair sector, providing essenal support to local communies
during the holiday season.
This iniave forms part of the Companys broader social programme, which focuses on
supporng vulnerable groups and promong acons with a substanal social footprint. The
nominal value of the vouchers for the year 2025 was over 200,000 euros. [S.3- MDR-A_68 a,

S3.5 Targets set in 2024 and progress
Regarding the targets, the base year has been set as 2024 [MDR-T 80 (d)], while the
methodology applied for their identification and monitoring is based on internal tracking of
relevant performance indicators (KPIs) [MDR-T 80 (f)]. Furthermore, there is no structured
stakeholder engagement process in defining them [MDR-T 80 (h)], no changes in targets,
methodologies, or assumptions have been reported [MDR-T 80 (i)], and no scientific evidence
has been used for their creation [MDR-T 80 (g)], as the related processes are still in an initial
stage of development and maturation. In addition, the table of actions and targets currently
covers selected material topics, specifically the topic (“Corporate Social Responsibility
Special Topic for the Company”), while other material topics (“Job Creation and Economic
Development” and “Impacts of Pollution on Local Communities in Relation to Quality of Life
(Traffic Congestion) Special Topic for the Company”) are not yet fully represented, with the
gradual integration of targets for all material topics ongoing [MDR-T 81].
The targets included in the table below are not quantified [MDR-T 80 (b), MDR-M_75, MDR-

Our Commitment towards our Customers
ESRS S4 Customers and End-users
Strategy
Interests and Views of Stakeholders
[ESRS 2: SBM 2]
PPA S.A. acts as a key hub of connecvity and accessibility, shaping its strategy around the
interests, views and rights of its stakeholders. Its long-term approach is built on respect for
human rights, health and safety, ensuring that consumers, users and all aected groups are
heard and treated responsibly. PPA S.A. strives to maintain open and eecve communicaon
channels to build mutual trust and collaboraon, enabling the organisaon to idenfy and
monitor stakeholder concerns, needs and expectaons. Delivering high-quality processes and
services remains a strategic priority, with stakeholder feedback serving as a core driver for
connuous improvement. [S4: SBM2 8]
Material IROs and Their Interaction with Strategy and
Businesses
[S4: SBM3]
The business model of the Port of Piraeus integrates all impacts related to the safety, health,
and security of its users to enhance accessibility and the overall user experience. Millions of
travellers, passengers, and port visitors of all ages, including vulnerable groups such as people
with disabilies, rely daily on the ports infrastructure and services. The customers and end-
users that are impacted by the acvies of PPA S.A., are presented as Indirect Customers
(Tier2) in the relevant stakeholder idencaon sector as presented in ESRS 2. [S4: SBM-3 10,

The management of safety and security maintenance of customers and visitors is a rm
commitment embedded in every operaonal process of the port and has a signicant eect
on the decision-making process. PPA S.A. implements a strict risk management process and
regularly monitors potenal systemic threats through risk control systems. [S4: SBM-3_10d]

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Through safety reports, the risk assessment of the operaonal procedures and through regular
communicaon with the ferry and cruise operators PPA S.A. receives insights on which
consumers and end users could be negavely aected- by operaons- and how.
In this context, PPA S.A. has idened specic characteriscs of consumers and end users that
may increase the risk of harm. These include persons with disabilies or reduced mobility,
elderly passengers, children, and passengers who are unfamiliar with the port environment,
such as rst-me users or tourists. These groups may be more exposed to safety and security
risks due to mobility limitaons, increased dependence on accessible infrastructure, or limited
familiarity with port procedures. [S4: SBM3_11]
Further promong construcve interacon with this stakeholder group, the port maintains an
open channel of communicaon and builds trust by systemacally monitoring customer and
end-user complaints. This channel strengthens the mely idencaon of potenal
challenges, supports eecve problem-solving, and enhances overall customer sasfacon,
thereby fostering long-term, trust-based relaonships with port users.
Through the Double Materiality Assessment according to ESRS-2 the Company idened
Passengers Port Safety and Security as bearing a potenal negave impact that might aect
the people who interact with or depend on the ports safe funconing. The Companys risk
outlined below, in relaon to consumers and/or end users, arises from potenal impacts rather
than dependencies. [S4: SBM3_10d]
Based on the informaon collected through observaons, complaints, and reports, PPA S.A.
integrates these impacts on consumers and end-users into risk management and the
priorizaon of strategic investments, such as the upgrading of terminal facilies, parking
areas, and accessibility infrastructure [ESRS 2: SBM-3_48b].
In this context, the Company takes measures to protect consumers and end-users by
leveraging the results of the Double Materiality Assessment and the Risk Register to inform its
strategy and business model. These measures include infrastructure improvements, sta
training, revision of safety procedures, and strengthening communicaon channels with users,
ensuring that actual and potenal negave impacts on consumers and end-users are directly
incorporated into strategic decisions and resource allocaon [ESRS 2: SBM-3_48 ai, ii].
In the case of PPA S.A., potenal negave impacts on passenger safety and security do not
constute a systemic risk, but mainly concern isolated incidents that may arise from
operaonal failures or extraordinary events. These incidents are addressed through a
comprehensive safety framework. At the same me, any impacts that may arise from
collaboraons with third pares (e.g. service providers or contractors) are managed through
contractual compliance clauses, supervision, and inspecons, ensuring that the required
safety and security standards are met. [S4 SBM3 10b]

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The Company uses informaon on the impact on consumers and end users, as derived from
comments, complaints, and stakeholder surveys, to adapt its strategy and business model,
enhancing safety, security, trust, and the overall user experience, while relevant risks and
opportunies are recorded and monitored in the Risk Register and through target seng. [S4:
SBM3 9]
Due to the crucial role of the Port of Piraeus as a major transport and passenger hub, the
negave impact on passenger safety and security is considered substanal. These include
accidents and security incidents that may aect passengers, including vulnerable groups. Such
risks can aect safe operaon and may cause service interrupons or damage to the port's
reputaon. Therefore, connuous monitoring and management of these risks is essenal for
decision-making by the Company. [S4: SBM-3_10b]

Policies Related to Consumers and End-Users
Quality, Environmental & Energy Policy
The Company’s Integrated Management System [MDR-P_65 a, b, d]
The Quality, Environmental & Energy Policy of PPA S.A. is a central element of the Company's
business strategy and an integral part of its Integrated Management System. During the
reporng period , the Policy was updated as part of the regular review of the Management
System, without any substanal change in its scope or basic principles, conrming PPA's
commitment to connuous improvement and the provision of safe, reliable, and high-quality
services to all port users, with parcular emphasis on customers and passengers at the
passenger terminal. The Integrated Management System is externally audited and cered,
with the latest standards cercaon renewed in 2025 for a three-year period. The Policy
applies to all of the Company's acvies and applies to business partners and end users,
without restricons on any specic groups. [S4: S4-1_AR9]
The implementaon of the policy is achieved through planning, seng goals, connuous
monitoring and reviews in compliance with ISO 9001, 14001, 50001 & 14064-1 standards and
maintenance of relevant cercaons. The company has developed and maintains PPAs
Integrated Management System as per ISO 9001, 14001, 50001 & 14064-1 standards.
Companies’ processes and operaons are subject to internal audits conducted at least once a
year, with the results reviewed during the Management Review Report. These standards
include:
ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management)
ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management)
ISO 50001:2018 (Energy Management)
ISO 14064-1:2018 (Emissions Management)

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Adopon of these standards ensures a systemac, transparent, and responsible approach to
port operaons, which enables the company to be proacve, ensuring the provision of high-
quality services to customers and end-users, while controlling and minimising any potenal
impact to the environment and eecvely managing energy consumpon and eciency
aiming at reduced operaonal cost and emissions.
Key Commitments of the Policy [MDR-P 65a]
The policy focuses on enhancing service quality, protecng the environment, and improving
energy performance. Its core commitments that relate to safety, health and security are:
delivering services that meet the needs and expectaons of customers and port users,
idenfying, assessing, and managing environmental risks (air, water, soil),
implemenng measures that support the health and safety of passengers, employees, and
partners,
establishing robust procedures for emergency preparedness and response,
raising awareness and providing ongoing training to employees and collaborators,
promong connuous improvement through monitoring, internal audits, and performance
evaluaon.
PPAs Policy reects the demands of a complex operaonal environment and ensures that
safety and high-quality service remain central to its mission. As part of its connuous approach
to improvement, the Company has set a strategic objecve to integrate the ISO 45001:2018
standard into the Company’s Integrated Safety Management System. This future cercaon
will further strengthen the Company’s capacity to manage health and safety issues and achieve
connuous improvement of procedures and prevenve measures.
Governance & Accountability [MDR-P 65c]
The Policy is approved by the Top Management and overseen by the Manager of the Quality
Control Department of PPA S.A., who is responsible for:
regularly reviewing and assessing the performance and eecveness of the Integrated
Management System as per the respecve ISO standards,
ensuring the availability of resources and mechanisms for compliance,
seng, monitoring, and assessing quality, environmental, and energy objecves, in
cooperaon with PPA S.A.s departments which are accountable for the
implementaon of the objecves set.
Compliance and connuous improvement are veried through external audits conducted by
independent cercaon bodies, as well as structured internal audits.

Stakeholder Engagement [MDR-P 65e, 65f]
The Policy is developed and updated by taking into account the expectaons and needs of all
key stakeholder groups. Since it addresses the safety and security of passengers, end users,
and everyone who uses the port facilies, the Policy considers the requirements of passengers
and customers, employees and contractors who contribute to daily operaons. Special
aenon is also given to the guidelines and standards set by port authories and regulatory
bodies. Its public availability reinforces transparency and strengthens stakeholder trust in the
Company’s commitment to responsible, high-quality, and safe operaons.
Complementary Policies [S4: S4-1_15]
In addion to its core Quality, Environmental, and Energy Policy, PPA S.A. has implemented a
set of complementary policies specically addressing the safety and well-being of customers
and end users. These policies cover areas such as corporate governance, ethics, social
responsibility and privacy, and apply inclusively to all consumers and end-users, rather than
targeng specic groups. Together, they create a comprehensive framework that enhances the
protecon, trust, and overall safety of all stakeholders interacng with the port. More details
on the relevant policies can be found on the corporate governance structure secon of the
current Statement.

Human Rights Protecon [S4: S4-1_16a, b, c], [S4:S4-1_17]
PPA S.A. aligns its operaons with the United
Naons Guiding Principles, OECD Guidelines, ILO
Principles and the UN Consumer Protecon
Guidelines. These frameworks guide the
Company’s commitment to protecng passenger
rights, well-being and safety across all services.
Exisng policies already cover key aspects of protecon, while the full integraon of human
rights and customer safety issues into all governance and operaonal processes is in progress.
A Human Rights Assessment is planned to idenfy potenal impacts on passengers and other
users and to inform targeted updates to related policies and safeguards.
Any case of non-compliance with internaonal principles is promptly invesgated, and
relevant ndings are incorporated into the corporate risk registry. Connuous monitoring and
correcve acons ensure that risks to passenger safety and user protecon are eecvely
managed under the established risk management framework. Furthermore, PPA S.A.
integrates end-users into its customer interacon process (see relevant paragraph for S4-20),
ulizing available communicaon channels such as sasfacon surveys, online complaint
forms, the corporate website, email, and telephone hotlines to idenfy actual or potenal
impacts on services. Finally, remediaon procedures are implemented (see relevant paragraph
S4-3 25), which include correcve acons, infrastructure upgrades, sta training programmes
and policy revisions, ensuring the eecve resoluon of grievances and the connuous
improvement of service quality, safety, and accessibility. Insights from risk assessments,
stakeholder feedback and incident reviews are used to update related policies and strengthen
security. This cycle of improvement reinforces PPAs commitment to responsible operaons
and sustained enhancement of customer and passenger safety.
Legislative and Regulatory Controls and Mechanisms
The Company operates in full compliance with the established legal and regulatory
frameworks governing the health, safety, and protecon of passengers using its terminals.
These frameworks include internaonally-recognised safety standards, cered safety plans,
and strict naonal regulaons, which together ensure eecve protecve measures and
comprehensive preparedness for responding to emergencies.
Holistic port security and preparedness for emergency situations
The Port of Piraeus strictly complies with the Internaonal Ship and Port Facility Security Code
(ISPS) Code, an internaonal regulaon designed to protect ships and port facilies from
security threats. Incorporated into European Regulaon 725/2004, the ISPS Code ensures
harmonised security standards across EU ports.
No
serious issues or incidents were reported
regarding human rights related to end
users. [S4: S4-4_35].

PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Under the ISPS Code, PPA develops and maintains cered Port Facility Security Plans (PFSPs)
tailored to each terminal. These PFSPs specify detailed measures for access control,
surveillance, security sta training, and emergency response, ensuring robust and proacve
management of security risks.
PPA S.A. also implements Sea and Land Polluon Emergency Plans aligned with internaonal
and naonal legislaon (OPRC 90, Greek Law 743/1997, PD 11/2002, and the 2000 HNS
Protocol). These plans include annual emergency drills to ensure rapid and coordinated
response to incidents.
Security personnel have undergone specialised training, including cercaon as drone pilots,
supporng the Smart Port iniave to monitor security and detect potenal spillages
eecvely. These combined measures ensure a proacve approach to safeguard passenger
safety and port security.
Passenger Rights Regulation
PPA operates in full compliance with EU Regulaon No. 1177/2010, which safeguards
passenger rights and establishes rules for sea and inland waterway transport. [MDR-P_65_d,
S4:S4-1_17] This regulaon addresses key aspects such as:
Informaon provision before and during the journey,
Assistance in case of delay or cancellaon,
Rights of people with reduced mobility,
Compensaon and reimbursement procedures.
Through adherence to this regulaon, PPA ensures that passengers receive clear informaon,
fair treatment, and appropriate assistance, reinforcing safety, accessibility, and trust in port
services.
Addional services supporng passenger welfare at the port include:
Customer service points and help desks,
Accessibility features and facilies for people with disabilies,
Safety and emergency medical services are available throughout passenger terminals.

Engagement Processes with Clients and Port Users [S4: S4-2 20]
PPA S.A. maintains a structured and systemac approach to engaging with clients and end-
users, designed to ensure connuous feedback, idenfy expectaons, and understand the
actual or potenal impacts associated with its services. Engagement with end-users is carried
out through mulple communicaon channels that enable connuous feedback collecon,
reporng of concerns, and dynamic interacon. These channels support the idencaon of
risks to consumer welfare, accessibility, sasfacon, and safety, and ensure that issues are

The Company maintains connuous engagement with its stakeholders throughout the year via
mulple communicaon channels. Engagement can take various forms, including consultaon
and informaon provision, with the frequency depending on the channel. The results of
engagement are incorporated into key stages of risk management, such as risk idencaon,
migaon approach determinaon, and eecveness assessment. [S4-2 20b].
The secon “Policy and Complaints Management Procedures” describes the mechanism for
subming and handling complaints, as well as the stages of their processing. It also species
the operaonal responsibility and oversight of the engagement process. [S4: S4-2_20 c]
To further enhance engagement, the Company operates a Port Users Council. This enables
users to contribute to improving services by recording any needs and issues that arise. [S4-5
41 a, b, c]
Complementary Enabling Mechanisms
The Company also engages indirectly with clients, passengers and end users through its
relaonships with B2B / intermediary client companies (e.g., cruise operators, ferry
companies, and other commercial partners), which act as intermediaries conveying the needs,
expectaons, and concerns of their passengers and end-users. This enables PPA S.A. to capture
broader stakeholder perspecves, including those of client groups with limited direct
interacon with the Company. Further, PPA’ s S.A. clients have access to valuable informaon
through annual surveys and assist in the idencaon, monitoring and understanding key
concerns and expectaons. [S4: S4-2 20a]
To strengthen structured and transparent stakeholder communicaon, the Company iniated
one more communicaon channel by developing and conducng a comprehensive
Stakeholder Engagement Quesonnaire in 2024–2025. The survey is repeated for the 2025

Raising Concerns by Consumers on Behalf of End-Users
Complaints Management Policy and Procedures
Adherence to Regulaon (EU) No. 1177/2010 is essenal for ensuring the rights of passengers
in marime and inland waterway transport. This includes provisions for compensaon,
assistance, and eecve complaint handling in cases of disrupons, discriminaon, or
accessibility issues. These measures are in place to protect cruise and ferry passengers by
ensuring that any concerns are addressed appropriately. In the event of recurring problems or
serious concerns, correcve measures such as infrastructure improvements, training
programmes, and policy reviews are implemented to improve quality, safety, and accessibility.

Through these integrated mechanisms, the Company builds a transparent, accountable, and
client-focused grievance management system that strengthens risk migaon, enhances
stakeholder trust, and ensures connuous improvement in addressing negave impacts on
consumers and end-users.
Whistleblowing Policy for Safety and Operaonal Concerns [MDR-P 65a]
15
In addion to the standard compliance and complaints-management mechanisms described
above, the Company also applies a dedicated “Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure for the
Management of Reports/Complaints”, which enables the reporng of a broad spectrum of
concerns, including operaonal irregularies, safety deciencies, service -quality failures,
unethical behavior, or any condion that may pose a negave impact or risk for passengers,
port users or the wider environment. Through this policy and its reporng mechanism
facilitated via (i) electronic submission channels, (ii) dedicated email contact, and (iii) the
opon for direct reporng to authorised ocers, the Company ensures that all potenal risks
and adverse impacts are idened, assessed, and addressed promptly and eecvely, while
end-users are protected from retaliaon, in accordance with the safeguards set out in the
Policy. [MDR-A_68a]
The Company also regularly assesses that consumers and end users are aware of and trust the
available reporng structures through awareness measurements, channel usage rates,
customer sasfacon surveys, analysis of recurring complaints, and resoluon rates within
predetermined me limits. These assessments ensure that the reporng process is eecve
and supports the integrity of port operaons. [MDR-A_68c]
Other negave impacts and risks: Customer Privacy Management
Procedures
During the materiality assessment, the Company idened a potenal negave impact related
to customer privacy and data protecon. However, this sustainability maer is not classied
as material. For the Company privacy and data protecon remain crical issues, as signicant
volumes of sensive operaonal data are processed daily. The Privacy Policy of the Company
reets its commitment to connuous evaluaon of its services.
PPA S.A. complies with EU and naonal legislaon, including the General Data Protecon
Regulaon (GDPR), supported by a dedicated Data Protecon Ocer, compliance
management pracces, and Data Protecon Impact Assessments (DPIA) across various
acvies. The Company remains dedicated to ongoing service assessments and maintains
open communicaon channels to ensure the prompt handling of any emerging issues.

Targets related to managing material negave impacts,
advancing posive impacts, and managing material risks and
opportunies
PPA S.A. is responsible for determining the appropriate acons to address actual or potenal
negave impacts on consumers and end-users. This determinaon is made based on a
combined assessment of the risk analysis, the results of the Double Materiality Assessment
(DMA), and the idencaon of important issues in accordance with the Companys ESG and
Sustainability Policy, concerning safety and accessibility. [MDR-T_80a]. The aforemenoned
factors, when considered in conjuncon with the objecves derived from the ISO 9001:2015,
ISO 14001:2015, ISO 50001:2018, and ISO 14064-1: 2018 standards, the commitment to
connuous improvement of the safety, protecon, and sustainability of operaons and taking
into account the results of the annual stakeholder survey [MDR-T h], serve as a guide for the
connuous adaptaon of mechanisms, policies, procedures, and feedback and complaint
management systems. In this parcular context, specic acons and objecves are dened,
with the aim of eecvely addressing the idened impacts and improving the experience of
all pares involved. [S4: S4-4 32a], [MDR-T_80 f]. The base year for these targets has been
set as 2024. [MDR-T_80 (d)] Furthermore, no changes have been made to targets,
methodologies, or assumpons [MDR-T 80 (i)], and no scienc evidence has been used for
their creaon [MDR-T 80 (g)], as the related processes are at an early stage of development
and maturaon. The Company did not set targets for the reporng period for the material
topic ‘Failures and safety incidents’ as the integraon of these targets is sll in progress [MDR-
T_81]
Each department, aligned with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 requirements, sets and
monitors specic targets and KPIs. In a similar manner, improvement targets are set for energy
management and emissions management within the framework of ISO 50001 and ISO 14064-
1:2018. The incorporaon of these targets form part of PPA S.A.s annual target-seng and
strategic planning framework, through which the Company strengthens operaonal eciency,
migates material risks, and proacvely addresses emerging challenges across all business
units [MDR-T_80c]. Regarding the material issue of health and safety at the passenger port,
the Cruise and Ferry Department oversees relevant targets and tracks performance to improve
service quality, passenger experience, and operaonal safety. [S4: S4-4 32a, MDR-T_80j]
The 2024 targets sll acve in 2025 include managing specied volumes of vessels, passengers,
and vehicles, expanding infrastructure, and opmising operaonal ows. Planned upgrades
involve new screening equipment, modernisaon of weighbridges, mechanical system
improvements, and facility enhancements. Addional measures in ferry areas focus on
terminal upgrades, shelter installaons, trac management, and strengthened safety, lighng,
and signage. Accessibility is priorised through new parking spaces, facility upgrades, and an
accessibility study. Internal processes are opmised by revising operaonal pracces,
enhancing stang, and strengthening customer communicaon through regular meengs to
collect feedback and promptly address issues. [S4: S4-4 31c, S4: S4-4 32b, MDR-T_80 d, e]

To achieve the above, PPA S.A. is implemenng an investment plan focused on strengthening
operaonal capacity and enhancing health, safety and security condions for customers and
end users. In this context, the Company has planned the following key investments. [S4:S4-4

The nancing and allocaon of resources for these projects ensure the mely implementaon
of acons and the achievement of the Companys objecves, as well as the connuous
monitoring of their progress. [MDR-A_69 b, c]
In this context, the following table presents the corporate targets set in 2024, together with
the performance achieved in 2025 [S4:S4-4 30]. When seng targets, the Company takes into
account comments, recorded incidents and complaints. Furthermore, stakeholder surveys
enable customers to provide recommendaons and feedback regarding topics material to the
Company and its management approaches. Progress toward achieving these targets is
analycally presented within the annual sustainability reports, ensuring transparency. [MDR-

For more informaon, data are available in Secon ESRS2.GOV-1.
PPA S.A. maintains a comprehensive and formally approved framework of business conduct
and ethics policies that arculate clear expectaons for ethical behavior, integrity and
transparency across the organizaon, forming the basis of a mature corporate culture that is
aligned with naonal legislaon, EU requirements and sectoral governance standards. This
framework comprises among others, the Code of Conduct, the Code Against Corrupon and
Bribery, the Conict-of-Interest Policy, the Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure, the Internal
Operang Regulaon, the General Sta Regulaon, and the ESG and Sustainability Policy.
These instruments apply to Board Members, execuves, employees, external collaborators,
suppliers and contractors, ensuring consistent behavioral standards and supporng the
idencaon, assessment and management of material Impacts, Risks and Opportunies
relang to business conduct maers.
Corporate culture is developed and promoted through formalized mechanisms embedded in
the Companys governance model, including mandatory inducon programmes, connuous
training, leadership behavior, transparent internal communicaon and the operaon of
structured reporng and invesgaon channels. Culture is also shaped through systemac
supervision by Internal Audit, Regulatory Compliance, Risk Management and the execuve
leadership, each receiving relevant reporng as dened in the Internal Operang Regulaon
and the BoD’sRules of Procedure, creang a transparent and well-governed environment for
the oversight of business conduct maers.
Mechanisms for idenfying, reporng and invesgang concerns about unlawful behavior or
behavior inconsistent with internal rules are explicitly dened in the Whistleblowing Policy
and Procedure, which sets out internal condenal reporng channels accessible to all
employees and external stakeholders. Reports are received by designated and trained
employees, handled independently and objecvely, and invesgated in accordance with
predened procedures ensuring integrity, condenality and mely follow-up. These
mechanisms enable early idencaon of emerging concerns across the Companys
operaons, supporng the migaon of material risks, including unethical pracces, conicts
of interest and failures to comply with applicable regulaons [G1-1_10a,G1-1_10c,G1-
1_10e,G1-3_18a].
PPA S.A. has in place a Code Against Corrupon and Bribery, approved by the BoD, which
prohibits any act of bribery, undue inuence or illicit advantage in commercial dealings.

Although the Code does not refer explicitly to the United Naons Convenon Against
Corrupon, it incorporates equivalent principles, including denions, zero-tolerance
provisions, expected behaviors, due-diligence obligaons and disciplinary consequences.
It is therefore fully operaonal and no metable for further implementaon is required. [G1-
1_10b,G1-3_18a].
Hence, the Company has established safeguards for whistleblowers, including protecon
against retaliaon, condenal processing of reports, secure informaon handling and the
right to report concerns anonymously, where permied by law. PPA S.A. is subject to the
naonal legal framework transposing Direcve (EU) 2019/1937 on the protecon of
whistleblowers and has already implemented the required internal channels and procedures,
and therefore no addional policy development or implementaon plan is required [G1-
1_10c,G1-1_11,G1-1_10d].
Apart from the whistleblowing procedures, the Company invesgates business conduct
incidents promptly, independently and objecvely, with clear separaon of responsibilies
between the invesgang funcons and the operaonal departments, supported by Internal
Audit, Regulatory Compliance and Legal, ensuring that all substanated incidents are
addressed in accordance with the Companys disciplinary provisions and applicable laws [G1-
1_10e,G1-3_18a,G1-3_18b].
Business conduct training is embedded across the organisaon. During 2025, 1,140 employee
parcipaons were recorded across 13 training programmes covering ethics, an-corrupon,
an-bribery, conicts of interest, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, ESG maers,
dangerous goods handling, internal audit principles and customer service for vulnerable
groups. These programmes reinforce employees’ capacity to idenfy ethical risks, comply with
internal rules, respond appropriately to emerging compliance challenges and uphold the
Company’s culture of integrity. At the same me, training on business ethics is conducted in
accordance with the established Educaon Plan, which will connue into 2026. Some training
programmes are designed for all employees, while others are tailored to specic departments
and roles. Furthermore, all employees are provided with training on ethics issues during
onboarding and on an ongoing basis in accordance with the annual Educaon Plan [G1-
1_10g,G1-3_AR7,G1-1_9].
While the Company has not yet formally designated any operaonal units as “high-risk
funcons” under its internal framework, it acknowledges the need to establish formal
categorisaon and targeted controls for high-risk funcons and plans to further develop these
measures within the context of its ongoing compliance enhancement acvies [G1-1_10h,G1-
3_19].
It is noted that due to the nature of PPA S.A.s acvies, it does not involve operaons relang
to animal welfare and therefore no such Policy is required or applicable [G1-1_10f].

for PPA S.A., driven by the maturity of its governance architecture and the systemac
applicaon of its business conduct framework. The Companys integrated system of Codes,
policies, internal regulaons and control mechanisms fosters responsible behavior, regulatory
compliance and organizaonal integrity, which together strengthen stakeholder condence in
the Companys operaons. This posive impact is further reinforced by a series of external
recognions in 2025.
Specically, PPA S.A.
was named a “Growth Pioneerat the 2025 Growth Awards organized by Eurobank
and Grant Thornton, recognized as one of the 20 most dynamic companies in Greece,
and received an award in the “Employees Involvement” category at the Health &
Safety Awards for its iniave A Strategic Health & Safety Training Program with
universal appeal,
received the “Sector Leader Port Authories” award from the Direcon Business
Network for its contribuon to the Greek economy based on its nancial performance.
it was recognized by the QualityNet Foundaon as one of The Most Sustainable
Companies in Greece 2025” for its performance across the three ESG pillars, as well as
with the Bravo Governance Award 2025 for pracces related to co-funded European
Research and Development projects.
In 2025, the Company also received three awards at the 2025 Compliance Awards, winning
two gold awards and one bronze award for its compliance pracces, while it was honored with
a Gold Award at the 2025 Greek Accounng and Finance Awards in the “Top Financial Strategy
Iniave” category. Furthermore, it received the True Leader Award 2024 from ICAP CRIF and
the Leading ESG Company Award at the Diamonds of the Greek Economy Awards 2025,
entering the DIAMONDS ELITE category for the rst me. These disncons reinforce the
recognion of PPA S.A. by independent bodies for its performance in governance, nancial
strategy, sustainability, and compliance.
Risks
The Double Materiality assessment idened three risks related to business conduct.
The rst relates to potenal Cybersecurity Threats given the increasing digitalizaon of port
operaons and interconnected IT systems. Cyber incidents could disrupt operaonal
connuity, compromise sensive data or impair service delivery. The Company migates this
risk by embedding cybersecurity safeguards into its digital transformaon iniaves, including
Terminal Operang System upgrades, EDI plaorms and automaon pilots, and by providing
sta training on cybersecurity as part of the 2025 curriculum.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The second risk, which is Company-specic, is Geopolical Externalies and the Domesc
Polical Environment. Polical or regulatory developments may aect trade ows, investment
condence or operaonal condions. The Company migates this exposure by maintaining
strict neutrality, reinforced by the explicit prohibion of polical contribuons in the Code of
Conduct and by full compliance with Presidenal Decree 15/2022, which prohibits all polical
donaons by legal enes. This legal alignment reduces exposure to geopolical sensivies
and supports operaonal stability.
The third and nal risk relates to Supplier / Contractor Selecon. This risk persists despite the
implementaon of high-level, opmized pre-qualicaon processes, technical specicaons,
and standards during the procurement and tendering stages. Potenal weaknesses in the
evaluaon, monitoring, or compliance of partners could lead to regulatory breaches,
contractual failures, or ethical issues, with potenal impacts on the Company’s reputaon and
credibility. Nevertheless, this risk is migated through enhanced due diligence requirements,
the incorporaon of ESG criteria and an-bribery clauses in contracts, the provision of data
protecon guarantees, as well as enhanced oversight, as further detailed in Secon G1-2
Management of Relaonships with Suppliers”.
Opportunies
Following the conclusion of the Dual Materiality Assessment, a number of addional
opportunies were idened that are directly linked to the maturity of the Company's
governance.
Strengthening Operaonal Procedures and Controls was recognised as a material opportunity,
as enhanced standardisaon and automaon can improve eciency, reliability and
transparency. The Companys governance architecture provides a stable foundaon for scaling
such procedural improvements.
Technology and Digital Transformaon constute another material opportunity. The
combinaon of digital tools, real-me systems and automaon enhances operaonal
resilience and transparency. Strong conduct rules, data governance and cyber-controls ensure
that digitalisaon advances are embedded responsibly and support both eciency and
regulatory compliance.
An addional material opportunity relates to Access to Green Financing. The Companys
sustainability performance and governance maturity strengthen its eligibility for EU funding
programmes, innovaon grants and sustainability-linked nancial instruments. Parcipaon in
naonal and internaonal iniaves, as well as repeated external recognion in the eld of
sustainability, further strengthens the Company’s posion in terms of its access to green and
sustainable nancing.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Moreover, Compeve Advantage and Regional Leadership were also idened as material
opportunies. The alignment of strong governance, operaonal excellence and sustainability
commitments posions PPA S.A. as a leading port in the Eastern Mediterranean. Key
infrastructure investments, including the cruise terminal expansion, car terminal upgrades,
ship repair zone revitalisaon and environmentally aligned dredging works, further reinforce
this strategic posioning by integrang circular economy elements and environmental
stewardship into core operaons.
Robust Governance and Risk Management represent a strategic opportunity for the Company,
as they ensure consistent and eecve oversight, evidence-based decision-making, and a
substanal reducon in exposure to corrupon or regulatory non-compliance. The existence
of a clear regulatory framework, dened accountability mechanisms, and robust internal
controls strengthens the prevenon of nancial failures, regulatory violaons, and
reputaonal risks. At the same me, a comprehensive and dynamic risk management system
enables the mely idencaon and migaon of threats. This reduces the likelihood of
operaonal disrupons or strategic deviaons, enhancing the Company's long-term resilience
and compeveness.
G1-2 Management of Relaonships with Suppliers
. PPA S.A. manages its supplier relaonships through a structured and fully documented
procurement governance framework, as set out in the new Internal Procurement Procedures
Manual, which applies to all suppliers registered in the Company’s Supplier Register. The
framework ensures transparent, and compeve legal procurement agreements,
incorporang detailed procedures for supplier selecon, contract execuon, monitoring,
evaluaon, classicaon and potenal exclusion. Supplier assessments are based on mul-
dimensional criteria, including contractual performance, quality, safety, innovaon,
governance, risk and sustainability. ESG-specic criteria, such as an-corrupon compliance,
environmental cercaons (including ISO 14001), carbon-reducon iniaves, waste-
management pracces and operaonal risk-management capabilies, form an integral part of
this process and will also be included in the Supplier Code of Conduct, which is currently being
developed during the reporng year [G1-2_15a,G1-2_15b]
Contracts and Sub-Concessions Regulaon and Internal Procurement Procedures Manual
The Contracts and Sub-Concessions Regulaon and the Internal Procurement Procedures
Manual dene PPA S.A.s procurement and contracng framework as required by Arcles
8 and 9 paragraph 1 and 12.2(a) of Law 4404/2016, seng the principles of transparency,
equal treatment, imparality and non-discriminaon in all procurement acvies
[G1.MDR-P_65a,G1.MDR-P_65d]
They establish the scope of contracts (construcon works, operaonal equipment,
services, supplies, studies, outsourcing, minor sub-concessions) and idenfy exclusions
such as emergencies, specic direct awards and specialised expert services [ESRS2.MDR-
P_65b]
Page 334 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The Manual puts these rules into operaon through structured procurement procedures
(open bidding, selected bidding, non-bidding), centralised procurement, roles and
responsibilies of Procurement, Controlling, User Departments and Internal Audit, and
detailed steps for iniaon, evaluaon, negoaon and approval [ESRS2.MDR-P_65c]
It further species the operaon of the Contractors Register, supplier qualicaon and
performance evaluaon requirements, ensuring compliance with the Concession
Agreement and applicable legislaon. The framework provides clear processes,
documentaon requirements and internal controls for contract award, supplier
management and sub-concession administraon. The Regulaon is publicly accessible and
published on the Company’s website to ensure transparency for all stakeholders
[ESRS2.MDR-P_65f]
Suppliers’ Personal Data Protecon Policy
The Suppliers’ Personal Data Protecon Policy sets out the principles and procedures
governing the processing of personal data of suppliers who are natural persons, as well as
of employees or representaves of supplier-legal-enes. The Policy denes the categories
of data collected, the purposes of processing related to contract execuon, regulatory
compliance and the defense of legal claims, and the lawful bases applied. It idenes key
data-protecon risks and describes the safeguards implemented, including technical and
organisaonal security measures, condenality obligaons, internal procedures,
employee training, retenon rules and secure destrucon [G1.MDR-P_65a]
The Policy applies across all procurement-related acvies and includes no exclusions
[ESRS2.MDR-P_65b] Responsibility for implementaon rests with PPA S.A. acng as Data
Controller, supported by the Data Protecon Ocer [ESRS2.MDR-P_65c]
The Policy aligns with GDPR (Regulaon 2016/679), naonal legislaon and internal
regulaons. Data subjects’ rights are clearly dened, with established processes for
exercising them and the opon to contact the Hellenic Data Protecon Authority
[ESRS2.MDR-P_65d,e]
The Policy is publicly accessible and published on the Companys ocial website and
updated on a regular basis to ensure transparency for all stakeholders [ESRS2.MDR-P_65f]
The evaluaon methodology includes weighted scoring ranges (5–30 percent) across key
categories and results in annual supplier classicaon into Grades A–D. Grade A suppliers
receive priority under equal-treatment condions; Grade B remain fully eligible; Grade C
suppliers enter a correcve-acon phase with temporary suspension; and Grade D suppliers
are removed from the contractors register for two years. The Supplier Exclusion Registry
operates under principles of fairness, accountability, proporonality and transparency, with
clear procedures for documenng breaches, approving exclusion decisions, nofying suppliers
and enabling reconsideraon when correcve measures have been implemented [G1-
2_15a],[G1-2_15b]

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Although PPA S.A. does not maintain a stand-alone policy specically aimed at prevenng late
payments to SMEs, it embeds mely-payment safeguards through its procurement processes.
These include contractually dened payment terms, internal vericaon workows,
compliance monitoring, cross-departmental coordinaon between procurement, controlling
and nance, and ongoing contract-performance monitoring. While not SME-targeted, these
mechanisms ensure fairness and minimise undue delays for all suppliers irrespecve of size
[G1-2_14]
The Company also implements the Suppliers’ Personal Data Protecon Policy, which governs
the processing of personal data belonging to supplier-physical-persons and to employees or
representaves of supplier-legal-enes. The Policy denes the categories of data collected,
the purposes of processing, the lawful bases applied, retenon rules, technical and
organisaonal security measures, condenality requirements and data-subject rights. The
Policy aligns with GDPR and naonal law, applies across all procurement acvies and is
publicly accessible for transparency.
This integrated procurement system generates a posive sustainability impact by promong
ethical pracces, transparency, responsible sourcing and alignment with environmental and
social standards across PPA S.A.s supply chain. ESG performance criteria, documented
evaluaon processes, supplier improvement mechanisms and exclusion rules incenvise
suppliers to enhance compliance, quality, safety and environmental performance, thereby
strengthening the sustainability prole of PPA S.A.s upstream operaons.
At the same me, these measures directly migate the material risk associated with supply-
chain mismanagement, including the potenal for unethical pracces, non-compliance with
environmental or labour standards, reputaonal harm, operaonal delays and legal exposure.
Through annual ESG-inclusive scoring, supplier classicaon, stringent contract-compliance
monitoring, risk-based exclusion policies and structured re-evaluaon processes, PPA S.A.
ensures that sustainability-related risks are idened, assessed and addressed in a consistent
and controlled manner. These controls help maintain stakeholder trust, safeguard the
Company’s social license to operate and uphold transparency across the supply chain.

G1-3 Prevenon and Detecon of Corrupon and Bribery
PPA S.A. maintains a structured and connuously evolving system to prevent, detect and
address corrupon and bribery risks, directly supporng the migaon of the material risk
“Incidents on Ethics and Integrity” and enabling the opportunity to strengthen “Operaonal
Procedures and Controls”. The system is anchored in the Code of Conduct, the Code Against
Corrupon and Bribery, the Conict-of-Interest Policy, the Whistleblowing Policy and
Procedure, and the Internal Operang Regulaon, all of which dene prohibited pracces, set
due-diligence expectaons and establish clear disciplinary consequences. These policies
operate prevenvely through mandatory conict-of-interest declaraons, segregaon of
dues, procurement-specic controls, and systemac monitoring by Internal Audit, Regulatory
Compliance, Risk Management and the Procurement Department [G1-3_18a]
Invesgaons of corrupon or bribery-related allegaons are carried out independently of the
relevant management chain, ensuring imparality and full access to informaon.
Whistleblowing submissions are handled by trained case-handlers, while Internal Audit
maintains the authority to review ethical risks across operaons, including the monitoring of
gis above EUR 100. During 2025, the relevant audit conrmed zero reportable incidents,
demonstrang the eecveness of exisng controls and contribung to the early detecon
and containment of integrity risks. Outcomes of invesgaons and systemic ndings are
reported through the established internal-reporng framework to senior management, the
Board Commiees and the Board of Directors, in line with the Internal Operang Regulaon
and the Rules of Procedure of the Governance Bodies [G1-3_18a,b,c]
To ensure that all personnel understand the Company’s expectaons, PPA S.A. disseminates
its an-corrupon and an-bribery policies through inducon programmes, targeted circulars,
internal plaorms [G1-3_20] During the rst half of 2025, employees received extensive
training on ethics, an-bribery, an-corrupon and regulatory compliance. These
programmes, which recorded 1,564 parcipaons across 38 sessions, included specialised
modules on bribery prevenon, conicts of interest, dangerous goods compliance,
cybersecurity, ESG governance and internal controls, reinforcing employees’ capacity to
idenfy and escalate concerns promptly [G1-3_21a].
Although the Company has not yet formally codied its list of “funcons-at-risk”, processes
involving procurement, contract management, port operaons, nance, and high-value
commercial engagements have been recognised internally as requiring higher vigilance. PPA
S.A. is progressing towards a structured mapping of high-risk funcons, with the aim of linking
specialised training, control tesng and monitoring mechanisms to the funcons most
exposed to corrupon and bribery risks. This enhancement supports the Company’s
connuous improvement and the opportunity to strengthen operaonal procedures and
internal controls [G1-3_21b].

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Training for the administrave, management and supervisory bodies forms part of the
mandatory training framework under the Internal Operang Regulaon and includes sessions
on ethics, an-bribery, conicts of interest, regulatory obligaons and oversight
responsibilies [G1-3_21c].
In parallel, PPA S.A. is advancing its compliance maturity by progressively aligning its Code
Against Corrupon and Bribery with the principles of the UN Convenon Against Corrupon.
While the Code already incorporates equivalent prohibions, due-diligence elements and
disciplinary measures, future revisions will explicitly reect UN-aligned provisions, reinforcing
the Company’s approach to integrity management.
The Company’s prevenve controls also extend to its business counterpares. The Preliminary
Cooperaon Agreement requires every supplier to declare the absence of conicts of interest,
commit to an-bribery standards and comply with PPA S.A.s integrity framework. Prospecve
suppliers must also submit an An-Commercial Bribery Commitment Statement, and PPA S.A.
veries an-bribery and an-corrupon declaraons during pre-contractual due diligence.
Failure to comply constutes a material breach, enabling contract terminaon. These
mechanisms strengthen third-party governance and reduce exposure to ethical breaches
across the supply chain [G1-3_18a],[G1-2_15a].
In 2025, further reinforcement came through the revised Contracts & Sub-concessions
Regulaons Internal Procurement Procedures Working Manual, which explicitly integrates
controls for bribery and corrupon prevenon. Employees involved in procurement processes
received targeted training on the updated requirements, ensuring consistent understanding
and implementaon across the Company.
Overall, these mechanisms reduce the likelihood and impact of integrity-related incidents,
strengthen procedural resilience, support connuous improvement and reinforce stakeholder
trust.
G1-4 Incidents of Corrupon or Bribery
During the reporng period, PPA S.A. recorded no convicons, no nes, and no penales
relang to violaons of an-corrupon or an-bribery legislaon. Internal reviews, monitoring
acvies, audits and the assessment of gis above EUR 100 reported zero breaches, and thus
no addional correcve acons or sancons were required. [G1-4_24 a].
In line with voluntary ESRS disclosures, PPA S.A. conrms that during the reporng period:
no conrmed incidents of corrupon or bribery occurred,
no dismissals or disciplinary acons were implemented in relaon to corrupon or
bribery,
no contracts were terminated or not renewed due to corrupon- or bribery-related
violaons, and
Page 338 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
no new or pending legal cases involving corrupon or bribery were recorded.
These results demonstrate the eecveness of the Companys prevenve framework in
migang the material risk of ethical and integrity breaches and reinforce the opportunity to
enhance operaonal procedures, internal controls and compliance assurance mechanisms.
[G1-4_25 a-d]
Corporate Governance Acons and Targets
High-Level Sustainability Targets approved by the BoD under the oversight of the Chief
Execuve Ocer
As part of its management of material impacts, risks, and opportunies related to business
conduct, the Company has established objecves and monitoring mechanisms linked to
relevant governance, an-corrupon, and responsible supply chain management policies.
These targets primarily cover the Company’s own acvies and, where necessary, the
upstream value chain, [MDR-T 80(a)], [MDR-T 80(c)]
The eecveness of these acons is monitored using specic key performance indicators
(KPIs), which are evaluated annually and reported to the relevant governing bodies, supporng
the monitoring of performance against the set targets.
At the level of indicators, no external party has been involved for the validation of the metrics
used. [MDR-M 77 (b)] Regarding the targets, the base year has been set as 2024 [MDR-T 80
(d)], while the methodology applied for their determination and monitoring is based on the
internal tracking of relevant performance indicators (KPIs). [MDR-T 80 (f)]
Furthermore, there is no structured process for stakeholder involvement in their definition
[MDR-T 80 (h)] and no scientific evidence has been used for their creation [MDR-T 80 (g)]
Finally, no changes have been made to targets, methodologies, or assumptions [MDR-T 80
(i)], as the related processes are at an early stage of development and maturation. The targets
included in the table below are not quantified. [MDR-T_80 b] [MDR-M_75]
At the level of indicators, no specific methodologies or assumptions have been used [MDR-

G1-5 Polical Inuence and Lobbying Acvies [Non-Material]
PPA S.A. does not engage in polical inuence or lobbying acvies and is legally prohibited
from providing any nancial or in-kind polical contribuons. In accordance with Presidenal
Decree 15/2022 (Greek Government Gazee Issue A 39/01.03.2022), Arcle 5 paragraph 6, all
forms of nancing or provision of benets to polical pares or coalions are strictly
prohibited for legal enes, including PPA S.A. This prohibion is embedded in the Companys
internal regulaons and governance framework, and no exempons or deviaons are
permied [G1-5_29b].
Consistent with the outcome of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment, polical inuence
and lobbying were assessed as non-material for the reporng period. While non-material in
2025, the topic is monitored due to its connecon with the idened Geopolical Externalies
Maintaining a strict prohibion on polical contribuons and avoiding lobbying acvies
funcons as a risk-migaon measure, ensuring independence from polical inuence,
prevenng exposure to polical sensivies, and safeguarding the Company’s neutrality in a
highly regulated sector. This approach supports regulatory compliance, preserves stakeholder
trust and reduces exposure to governance or reputaonal risks arising from external
geopolical or domesc polical developments.
The Company does not engage in polical lobbying, advocacy, or polical inuence, and its
internal and external obligaons strictly prohibit polical contribuons. PPA S.A. is legally
prohibited from providing any nancial or in-kind polical contribuons. In accordance with
Presidenal Decree 15/2022 (Greek Government Gazee Issue A 39/01.03.2022), Arcle 5
paragraph 6, legal enes—including PPA S.A.—are forbidden from nancing or providing any
benet to polical pares or coalions. This restricon is fully embedded in the Company’s
governance framework, without excepons or discreonary applicaon [G1-5_29b].
The Code of Conduct further formalises this prohibion. Arcle 12 explicitly states that while
the Company supports acvies related to educaon, science, culture, corporate social
responsibility, sports and environmental protecon, The Code also prohibits bribery and the
use of donaons to gain commercial advantage, as well as donaons to polical gures or
elected ocials, and does not provide sponsorships beyond what is legally permied, ensuring
full alignment with the Company’s integrity framework and the Code Against Corrupon and
Bribery.
Maintaining a strict prohibion on polical contribuons, combined with the absence of
lobbying acvies, serves as a risk-migaon measure. It supports operaonal neutrality,
prevents exposure to polical sensivies, and safeguards the Companys reputaon and
compliance posture in a highly regulated sector.

G1-6 Payment Pracces [Non-Material]
Based on the results of the 2025 Double Materiality Assessment, payment pracces were
assessed as non-material for the reporng period. PPA S.A. maintains consistently mely
selement of obligaons, with very few disputes or delays, and cooperates with a relavely
limited number of SMEs, which reduces exposure to risks related to late payments. Although
the topic is not material for 2025, the Company remains commied to legal, transparent and
responsible payment pracces as part of its broader supply chain governance. Other topics
were determined to hold higher material signicance for the Company and its stakeholders at
this stage. Nonetheless, payment pracces may become material in the future should
operang condions, stakeholder expectaons or the structure of the value chain evolve.
Further informaon on the materiality assessment methodology and results is provided in the
ESRS 2 secon of this Report.

THIS REPORT IS A FREE TRANSLATION FROM THE GREEK ORIGINAL
Independent practitioner’s limited assurance report on Piraeus Port Authority S.A
Sustainability Statement
To the shareholders of Piraeus Port Authority S.A
We have conducted a limited assurance engagement on the Sustainability Statement of Piraeus Port
Authority S.A (hereinafter the “Company”), included in section “Annual Sustainability Statement” of the
Annual Report of the Board of Directors (hereinafter the “Sustainability Statement”), for the period
from 01.01.2025 to 31.12.2025.
Limited assurance conclusion
Based on the procedures we have performed, as described below in the paragraph “Scope of Work
Performed”, as well as the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that:
the Sustainability Statement is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with article 151
of L.4548/2018 as amended by L.5164/2024 and in effect, with which it was incorporated into Greek
legislation the article 19(a) of EU Directive 2013/34/EU;
the Sustainability Statement does not comply with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards
(hereinafter “ESRS”), in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 of the Commission of 31 July
2023 and Directive (EU) 2022/2464 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December
2022;
the process carried out by the Company for the identification and assessment of material impacts,
risks and opportunities (the "Process"), as set out in section “Double Materiality Assessment of the
Sustainability Statement, does not comply with "Requirement IRO-1- Description of the processes
to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities" of ESRS 2 "General Disclosures";
the disclosures of section European Taxonomy” of the Sustainability Statement do not comply with
article 8 of EU Regulation 2020/852.
This assurance report does not extend to information for previous periods.
Basis for the conclusion
The limited assurance engagement was conducted in accordance with International Standard on
Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) “Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews
of Historical Financial Information” (hereinafter “ISAE 3000 (Revised)”).
Page 361 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The procedures in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in
extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in
a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been
obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Our responsibilities are further described in the “Practitioner’s Responsibilities” section.
Professional Ethics and Quality Management
We are independent from the Company throughout this work and have complied with the
requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics
Standards Board for Accountants (IAS Code), the ethics and independence requirements of
L.4449/2017 and EU Regulation 537/2014.
Our firm applies the International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1 “Quality Management
for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related
Services engagements”, and consequently maintains a comprehensive quality management system,
which includes documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements,
professional standards, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
conclusion.
Responsibilities of the Company’s Management for the Sustainability Statement
The Company’s Management is responsible for designing and implementing an appropriate Process to
identify the information reported in the Sustainability Statement in accordance with the ESRS and for
disclosing this Process in sectionDouble Materiality Assessmentof the Sustainability Statement.
More specifically, this responsibility includes:
The understanding of the context in which the Company activities and business relationships take
place and developing an understanding of its affected stakeholders.
The identification of the actual and potential impacts (both negative and positive) related to
sustainability matters, as well as risks and opportunities that affect, or could reasonably be expected
to affect, the Company’s financial position, financial performance, cash flows, access to finance or
cost of capital over the short-, medium, or long-term.
The assessment of the materiality of the identified impacts, risks and opportunities related to
sustainability matters by selecting and applying appropriate thresholds and
The making of assumptions that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Page 362 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The Company’s Management is further responsible for the preparation of the Sustainability Statement,
in accordance with article 151 of L.4548/2018, as amended with L.5164/2024 and in force, by which
article 19(a) of EU Directive 2013/34 was incorporated into Greek legislation.
In this context, the Company’s Management is responsible for:
The compliance of the Sustainability Statement with the ESRS.
The preparation of the disclosures in section “European Taxonomyof the Sustainability Statement,
in compliance with Article 8 of EU Regulation 2020/852.
The design and implementation of such internal controls that management determines are
necessary to enable the preparation of the Sustainability Statement, that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The selection and implementation of appropriate reporting methods and making assumptions and
estimates about individual sustainability disclosures within the Sustainability Statement that are
reasonable in the circumstances.
The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for supervising the drafting process of the Company’s
Sustainability Statement.
Inherent limitations in preparing the Sustainability Statement
In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS, the Company’s Management is
required to prepare the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions, about
events that may occur in the future and possible future actions by the Company. The actual outcome is
likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur, as expected.
As stated in section “Climate Change Management, Energy, & GHG Emissions” of the Sustainability
Statement, the information incorporated in the relevant disclosures is based, among other things, on
climate-related scenarios, which are subject to inherent uncertainty regarding the likelihood, timing or
impact of potential future natural and transient climate-related impacts.
Our work covered the items specified in the “Scope of Work Performed” section to obtain limited
assurance based on the procedures included in the Program, as this is defined in that section. Our work
does not constitute an audit or review of historical financial information, in accordance with applicable
International Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Review Engagements, and therefore
we do not express any assurance other than those listed in the "Scope of Work Performed" section.

Practitioner’s responsibilities
This limited assurance report has been drawn up based on the provisions of Article 154C of L.
4548/2018 and Article 32A of L.4449/2017.
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about
whether the Sustainability Statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our conclusion. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence decisions of users taken on the basis of the Sustainability
Statement as a whole.
As part of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised), we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the engagement.
Our responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability Statement, in relation to the Process, include:
Carrying out risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of the relevant internal control
gaps, to identify risks related to whether the Process, followed by the Company to determine the
information referred to in the Sustainability Statement does not cover the applicable requirements
of the ESRS, but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion regarding the effectiveness of the
internal controls on the Process and
Designing and carrying out procedures to assess whether the Process for identifying the information
referred to in the Sustainability Statement is consistent with the description of the Process, as
disclosed in section “Double Materiality Assessmentof the said Statement.
Moreover, we are responsible for:
Performing risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of the relevant internal control
mechanisms, to identify those disclosures that are likely to be materially misstated, whether due to
fraud or error, but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control mechanisms.
Designing and carrying out procedures related to those disclosures of the Sustainability Statement,
in which a material error is likely to occur. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement arising
from fraud is higher than that arising from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations or the circumvention of internal control barriers.

THIS REPORT IS A FREE TRANSLATION FROM THE GREEK ORIGINAL
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Piraeus Port Authority S.A.
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Piraeus Port Authority S.A. (the “Company”), which
comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including
material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly in all material respects, the financial position
of Piraeus Port Authority S.A. as at December 31, 2025 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as endorsed by the European
Union.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”), as incorporated in Greek
Law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We remained independent of the Company throughout the
period of our appointment in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), as applicable to audits of public interest entities’ financial
statements, together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to the audit of the financial statements in
Greece, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA
Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial statements of the current period. These matters and the related risks of material misstatement were
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements” section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the
performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the
matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

Key Audit Matters
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matters
Measurement of tangible and intangible assets under construction
In the course of its operations and in accordance with
the obligations arising from the Concession Agreement,
the Company undertakes the development,
maintenance and exploitation of port infrastructure,
which constitutes a significant portion of its total assets.
As at 31 December 2025, the total amount of tangible
and intangible assets under construction amounted to
€222 million.
During the year, the Company implemented significant
capital investments amounting to €107 million. The
accounting monitoring and measurement of these
assets require the exercise of significant judgement by
Management, particularly with respect to the
distinction between capital and operating
expenditures, as well as the identification of the point
in time at which assets are available for their intended
use.
Furthermore, the nature, scale and duration of projects
under construction, combined with exposure to
regulatory approvals, tendering procedures and
potential delays or cost overruns, together with the
required monitoring analyses, increase the complexity
of their monitoring and may indicate the existence of
impairment indicators.
We determined the measurement of tangible and
intangible assets under construction as one of the Key
Audit matters due to the materiality of the related
balances, the level of judgement exercised by
Management and the nature and extent of the audit
procedures designed and performed.
Disclosures related to tangible and intangible assets
under construction are included in Notes “2.c.1(vii)
Impairment of property, plant and equipment”, “3(a)
Tangible Assets”, “3(c) Impairment of nonfinancial
Assets”, “3(f) Intangible Assets”, “4. Property, Plant and
Equipment” and “7. Intangible Assets” to the financial
statements.
The audit procedures we performed in this area included, among
others, the following:
We obtained an understanding of the processes, policies and
methodologies applied by Management for monitoring tangible
and intangible assets under construction.
We evaluated Management’s judgements regarding the
distinction between capital and operating expenditures.
We reviewed Management’s assessment of whether indicators
of impairment existed for tangible and intangible assets under
construction as at 31 December 2025.
We held meetings and discussions with the Company’s
Management regarding the nature and current status of a
sample of projects under construction.
We examined, on a sample basis, expenditures capitalized as
tangible and intangible assets under construction, in relation to
the relevant contracts, invoices and other supporting
documentation, such as the Company’s analyses and engineers’
and constructors’ certifications. We also assessed whether these
expenditures met the criteria for capitalization.
Finally, we evaluated the adequacy of the related disclosures
included in Notes “2.c.1(vii) Impairment of property, plant and
equipment”, “3(a) Tangible Assets”, “3(c) Impairment of nonfinancial
Assets”, “3(f) Intangible Assets”, “4. Property, Plant and Equipment”
and “7. Intangible Assets” to the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matters
Provisions for legal cases and contingent liabilities
The Company is involved in a significant number of
pending legal cases arising from the ordinary course of
its operations, the total exposure of which amounts to
€108.3 million, for which a provision of €14.7 million
has been raised as at December 31, 2025. The
Company’s portfolio of pending legal cases mainly
relates to claims involving employees, the Greek State,
neighboring municipalities, as well as other third
parties.
The recognition and measurement of provisions, as well
as the disclosure of contingent liabilities, require the
exercise of significant judgment and estimation by
Management, particularly in relation to:
the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome of the
cases,
the potential outflow of economic resources, and
the reliable estimation of the related amount.
This process is based, among other factors, on
Management’s assessments, on opinions provided by
internal and external legal advisors, as well as on the
interpretation of the applicable legislation. Due to the
nature of the cases and the inherent uncertainty
involved, such estimates are subject to change.
We determined provisions for legal cases and
contingent liabilities as one of the Key Audit Matters
due to the significant number of pending legal cases
and the materiality of the related amounts, as well as
due to the need for extensive estimates and
assumptions by Management in determining the
amount of the related provision.
Disclosures related to provisions for pending legal cases
and contingent liabilities are included in Notes “2.c.1(ii)
Provisions for legal cases and contingent liabilities”,
“18. Provisions” and “32(a) Litigation and Claims” to the
financial statements.
The audit procedures we performed in this area included, among
others, the following:
We obtained an understanding of the processes, policies and
methodologies applied by Management, in cooperation with the
Company’s Legal Department, for monitoring pending legal cases
and assessing the related provision.
We obtained a letter from the Company’s Legal Department,
accompanied by a detailed schedule of all pending legal cases in
which the Company is involved, prepared by the Company’s
Legal Department, either as defendant or claimant, including the
assessments of the Company’s legal advisors regarding their
probable outcome and the corresponding provision.
We obtained letters from the Company’s external legal advisors,
providing a detailed overview of the pending legal cases under
their responsibility, including their assessments of the probable
outcome.
We held meetings and discussions with representatives of the
Legal Department and the Company’s Management regarding
the nature and current status of a sample of pending legal cases.
We examined whether the pending legal cases and the related
provisions, as presented in the financial statements, were
supported by the underlying analyses with an assessment date of
31 December 2025.
Finally, we evaluated the adequacy of the related disclosures
included in Notes “2.c.1(ii) Provisions for legal cases and contingent
liabilities”, “18. Provisions” and “32(a) Litigation and Claims” to the
financial statements.

Other Matter
The Company’s financial statements for the prior financial year ended 31 December 2024 were audited by another
Statutory Auditor. For that financial year, the Statutory Auditor issued an audit report dated 31 March 2025 with
an unmodified opinion.
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information in the Annual Financial Report. The other information,
includes the Board of Directors’ Report, for which reference is also made in section “Report on Other Legal and
Regulatory Requirements”, the Statements of the Members of the Board of Directors, and any other information
either required by law or voluntarily incorporated by the Company in its Annual Financial Report prepared in
accordance with Law 3556/2007, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
The Company’s Audit Committee (Article 44, Law 4449/2017) is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial
reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs, as incorporated in Greek Law, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Αs part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated in Greek Law, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures
in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
Page 370 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
1. ESTABLISHMENT AND ACTIVITY OF THE COMPANY
“Piraeus Port Authority S.A” (from now on “PPA S.A.” or “Company”) was established in 1930 as Civil
Law Legal Corporation (C.L.L.C.) by Law 4748/1930, which was revised by L.1559/1950 and was ratified
by L.1630/1951 and converted into a Societé Anonyme (S.A.) by Law 2688/1999. The Company is located
at Municipality of Piraeus, at 10 Akti Miaouli street, TC 185 38.
The Company’s main objective is to perform its obligations, conduct its activities, and exercise its
faculties under or in respect of the concession agreement between the Company and the Hellenic
Republic dated 13 February 2002 regarding the use and exploitation of certain areas and assets within
the Port of Piraeus, as amended and in force.
The Company may, by way of an illustrative but not exhaustive list, conduct and be engaged in the
following activities:
- to use all rights assigned to the Company pursuant to the Concession Agreement and maintain,
utilize, and exploit all concession assets in accordance with the Concession Agreement;
- provide services and facilities to vessels, cargo, and passengers, including ship berthing and cargo
and passenger handling to and from the port;
- install, organize, and exploit all kinds of port infrastructure;
- undertake any activities related to the port and all other commercial activities associated with or
reasonably incidental to the operation of the port of Piraeus;
- engage third parties to provide any kind of port services;
- award contracts for works;
- engage in such further activities as are prudent or customary for the proper conduct of its business
and operations in accordance with the Concession Agreement; and
- engage in any activities, transactions, or operations of a type that are generally conducted by
commercial corporations.
The main activities of the Company are anchoring services of vessels, handling cargo, loading and
unloading services, as well as goods storage and car transportation. The Company is also responsible for
the maintenance of port facilities, the supply of port services (water, electricity, telephone connection,
etc.), for services provided to travelers (coastal and cruise ships), and for renting space to third parties.
The Company is governed by the principles of L. 4548/2018, which replaced the Company Law
2190/1920 and the founding Law 2688/1999, as amended by Law 2881/2001 and Law 4404/2016.
The duration period of the Company is one hundred (100) years from the effective date of Law
2688/1999. This period may be extended by special resolution of the shareholders' general meeting.
COSCO SHIPPING (Hong Kong) Limited controlled the 51% of the voting rights, with the date of transfer
of such rights on 10 August 2016. COSCO SHIPPING (Hong Kong) Limited is 100% held by China Shipping
Company Limited, which is 100% held by China COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited, a Chinese state-
owned company. As a result, China COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited, by indirectly holding 100% of
COSCO SHIPPING (Hong Kong) Limited, indirectly held 51% of the voting rights in PPA.

On 6 October 2021, an over-the-counter transaction took place where COSCO SHIPPING (Hong Kong)
Co., Limited acquired from Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund S.A. an additional 16% of shares
in PPA S.A. As a result, the percentage of voting rights of COSCO SHIPPING (Hong Kong) Co., Limited in
PPA S.A. has increased from 51% to 67%. The above transaction has taken place under an Amended
Share Purchase Agreement between COSCO SHIPPING (Hong Kong) Co., Limited as Purchaser and
Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund S.A. as Seller, following ratification of an Amendment to the
Concession Agreement between the Hellenic Republic and PPA S.A. (Law 4838/2021, Government
Gazette 180A/ 01.10.2021).
As a result of the above transaction, China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited indirectly holds 67% of
voting rights in PPA S.A.
The Company’s number of employees as of December 31, 2025, amounted to 1.058. At December 31,
2024, the respective number of employees was 1.024.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
(a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. These financial statements have been prepared
under the historical cost.All amounts presented in the financial statements are in euros. Any
differences between the amounts included in the financial statements and the respective amounts
included in the notes are attributed to rounding.
The preparation of financial statements according to the IFRS requires estimates and assumptions to
be made by the management, influencing the assets and liabilities amounts, the disclosure of potential
receivable and liabilities as at the financial statements date, as well as the revenue and expenditure
amounts, during the financial period. Actual results may differ from these estimations. The areas
involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are
significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2(c).
The Company's management observes closely and continuously the extended conflict in Ukraine, the
war in the Gaza Strip, the turbulent situation in the Middle East, the prevailing situation, which results
in the unsafe transit of cargo ships through the Suez Canal and Red Sea, and their effects on the
macroeconomic and financial environment, such as the energy instability, the increase in energy costs
and bank interest rates, the most intense inflationary pressures, and the most serious complications
in international shipping and global trade, to ensure that all necessary actions and initiatives are
undertaken to minimize possible consequences for the Company’s activities.
Management believes that its strong capital position and liquidity, its activity in different sectors, its
strong and dynamic Μanagement, the experienced human resources as well as the fact that until now
the above conditions have not significantly affected its activities , will allow the Company to
successfully overcome any period of uncertainty and has reached the conclusion that no additional
impairment provisions of the financial and non-financial assets of the Company are required on
December 31, 2025.
The “Advances and other long-term receivables” account from the prior year was reclassified to ensure
consistency and comparability with the corresponding account for the current year.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(b) Approval of Financial Statements
The Board of Directors of the Company approved the financial statements for the year ended at
December 31, 2025, on 31 March, 2026. The abovementioned financial statements are subject to the
final approval of the Annual GA of the Shareholders.
(c) Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates
The Company makes estimates and judgments in order to select the most appropriate accounting
principles taking into consideration the future outcome of events and transactions. Estimates and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Estimates and judgments adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements are consistent
with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2024.
The significant estimates and judgments that have a risk of causing a significant adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
c.1 Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
(i) Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and legal cases: Management periodically reassess the
adequacy of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable following the simplified approach of IFRS 9 of
calculating expected credit losses (‘ECLs’). The expected loss rate is assessed on the basis of historical
credit losses adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information. ECLs are based on the
difference between the contractual cash flows due and all the cash flows that the Company expects to
receive and taking into consideration reports from its legal department.
(ii) Provisions for legal cases and contingent liabilities: The Company, in conjunction with its legal
department and its external advisors who manage the cases, assesses the outcome of the litigation at
the end of each financial year. Based on Management's judgment based on all available information,
including the opinion of its legal advisors managing the cases, the Company evaluates the likelihood of
an adverse outcome, as well as the amounts potentially payable to settle the cases, and makes the
necessary provision or disclosure of contingent liabilities related to pending litigation. The above
assessment is a complex process involving judgments about the potential consequences as well as
interpretations of laws and regulations.
(iii) Income taxes: Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. According to IAS 12, income
tax provisions are based on estimations as to the taxes that shall be paid to the tax authorities and
includes the current income tax for each fiscal year, the provision for additional taxes which may arise
from future tax audits, and the recognition of future tax benefits. The final clearance of income taxes
may be different from the relevant amounts that are included in these financial statements.
Estimates on deferred tax arise in the process of recognition of deferred tax assets, which is performed
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
In addition, the tax rates used for both deferred tax assets and liabilities are the ones that are estimated
to be enacted in the following years, where the differences are expected to reverse.

PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(iv) Depreciation rates: The Company’s assets are depreciated over their estimated remaining useful
lives. These useful lives are periodically reassessed to determine whether the original period continues
to be appropriate. The actual lives of these assets can vary depending on a variety of factors such as
technological innovation, maintenance programs and environmental imperatives due to climate
changes.
(v) Provision for staff leaving indemnities: The cost for staff leaving indemnities is determined based on
actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation requires management to make assumptions about future
salary increases, discount rates, mortality rates, etc. Management, at each reporting date when the
provision is re-examined, tries to give its best estimate regarding the above mentioned parameters.
(vi) Leases: The Company made a significant estimate to determine the “incremental borrowing rate
that it used to recognize its lease contract with the Greek State because of its special nature. This
contract is the Company's main lease agreement (Note 3 (s)).
(vii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment: Cash flows generation units are tested for
impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When value
in use calculations are undertaken, Management estimates the expected future cash flows from the
asset or cash-generating unit, chooses a suitable discount rate and long-term growth indicators in order
to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The subjectivity which is involved in the key
assumptions that are used by Management in the check of impairment and the inherent uncertainty of
these assumptions is high.
The Company's Management, in the context of assessing impairment indicators, takes into account the
broader macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. In particular, current geopolitical developments
are examined, including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as potential
disruptions to international supply chains and maritime transport, such as those related to the passage
of commercial vessels through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea region. Management assesses whether
these developments may affect the Company's activities and constitute indications of impairment of the
value of tangible fixed assets or the cash-generating units to which they belong.
No indications of impairment of the Company's tangible fixed assets emerged during the current year.
(viii ) Contingent liabilities: The existence of contingent liabilities requires from Management to make
assumptions and estimates continuously related to the possibility that future events may or may not
occur as well as the effects that those events may have on the activities of the Company.
c.2 Significant judgements on the implementation of accounting policies
Leases: The Company made judgments as to whether the sub-lease agreements in which the Company
is a lessor relate to operating or finance leases. The contracts to which the Company is a lessor relate
mainly to the contract with Piraeus Container Terminal S.A. (Note 3 o(iii)) as well as contracts related to
leased areas to ship repair zone. The management's judgment was based mainly on the duration of the
leases.
Page 383 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Concerning the contract with Piraeus Container Terminal S.A., in previous years, Management
concluded that it is an operating lease due to its duration and because the lease does not substantially
transfer the risks and rewards of the right of use.
Concerning the concession agreement with the Greek State, the Company concluded that it falls under
the provisions of IFRS 16 and not to the corresponding provisions of IFRIC 12, as the Company has control
over the pricing of its services other than coastal shipping and therefore the contract is a contract lease.
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company applies the following material accounting policies for the preparation of the accompanying
financial statements:
(a) Tangible Assets: Buildings, technical projects, and other building installations are valued at acquisition
cost less accumulated depreciation and possible impairment provision. The privately owned land,
machinery, and other equipment, acquired before PPA’s conversion into an S.A., 1.6.1999, were valued
at deemed cost, arising from the Evaluation Committee of article 9 C.L. 2190/1920, while those acquired
afterwards are valued at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and possible value impairment
provision.
The acquisition cost of a building installation or equipment consists of the purchase price include import
duties, plus non-refundable purchase taxes, as well as any costs required for the asset to become
operational. Repairs and maintenance are posted to the financial period in which they were incurred.
Significant additions and improvements made at a later stage are capitalized in the relevant asset cost.
Fixed assets constructed by the Company are posted to the self-construction cost, which includes
subcontractors’ fees, materials, and technicians’ payroll costs involved in the construction (including
relevant employer contributions) as well as part of the general administration expenses.
Assets under construction include fixed assets under construction and are stated at their cost. Assets
under construction are not depreciated until the fixed assets are complete and operational.
(b) Depreciation: Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis according to the following useful lives
per fixed asset category:
Fixed Asset Categories
Useful Life (years)
Buildings, technical & port projects
25-40
Machinery & other equipment
10-30
Motor Vehicles
5-12
Floating transportation means
20-35
Furniture, fixture & fittings
5-10
The residual value, the useful life, and the depreciation method of the Company's assets are examined
annually, and they are adjusted if necessary.

PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(c) Impairment of non financial assets: Property, plant & equipment and intangible fixed assets shall be
evaluated for possible impairment loss when there are indications that the asset’s book value is over its
recoverable amount.
In addition, the Company's Management considers that given the approved, received from the
competent state bodies, decision of approval of environmental conditions (AEPO)
Dec.YPEN/DIPA/94636/6224/15-9-2023 for its expantion projects and its operation, the current
environmental legislation has no negative impact on the Company's activities and does not create
circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of its non-financial assets is no longer recoverable.
In this direction, all of the Company's activities have been examined in the Environmental Impact Study
(EIS) of PPA SA, which led to the new Environmental Terms Approval Decision (EEPD) of PPA SA issued
in September 2023, which aims to mitigate and offset all impacts of PPA SA's activities on the climate
and the environment in general through appropriate measures.
In the implementation of the AEPO's forecasts, the PPA is currently preparing a Special Climate Shielding
Study, which includes:
specialization of the findings of the Environmental Impact Study regarding the climate vulnerability
and the port's adaptation needs to climate change,
• examination of the consequences of climate change on the port,
• ensuring compatibility with the Attica Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PESPKA).
When an asset’s book value is over its recoverable amount, the respective impairment loss is posted to
the period's financial results. An asset’s recoverable value is the greater amount between the fair value
less the cost of disposal and the value in use.
Value in use is based on the Company's projected cash flows, discounted to present value using a
discount rate that reflects current economic considerations and risks associated with the particular asset
or cash-generating unit.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows
can be identified separately (cash generating units). Impairment losses recognized in prior periods in
non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date for any reversal.
(d) Investment property: Investment property that includes land and buildings is held by the Company for
long-term rental yields and not for its own use. Investment property is measured at cost less
depreciation and impairment.
Land is not depreciated. The depreciation of buildings is calculated using the straight line method over
the buildings’ useful life, which is 30 years. When the carrying amounts of the investment property
exceed their recoverable amounts, the difference (impairment) is charged directly to the statement of
comprehensive income.
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a use change, evidenced by
the end of owner occupation.

Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
(e) Fixed Asset Subsidies: Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. Subsidies are considered as
deferred revenue and are recognized as income at the same depreciation rate as the relevant subsidized
fixed assets are depreciated. This income is deducted from the depreciation in the period financial
results.
(f) Intangible Assets: Intangible assets include software purchase cost and any expenditure for software
development. Software is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Software depreciation is
calculated on a straight line basis and its useful life of 3-4 years.
(g) Borrowing Cost: Borrowing costs are interest and other costs an entity incurs in relation to the borrowing
of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset
that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised
as part of the cost of the asset.
If the funds were generally raised and used for the construction of fixed assets, the portion of the
borrowing costs capitalized is determined by applying a capitalization factor to the cost of acquiring the
asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
(h) Financial Instruments: Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets of the Company are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at
amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual
cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them.
Cash and cash equivalents mainly include demand deposits and time deposits held with credit
institutions and are part of the Company's cash Μanagement. These deposits are highly liquid and are
readily convertible into specific amounts of cash without significant risk of loss of the invested capital.
Time deposits may be liquidated at any time upon request of the Company without risk of loss of the
principal. In the event of early termination, there may be a loss of part or all of the accrued interest.
Interest is recognized in the results using the effective interest method.
Except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the
Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair
value plus, in the case of a financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction
costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company
has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price as determined under IFRS 15.
Page 386 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the ‘solely payments of
principal and interest’ test and is performed at an instrument level.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Company manages its
financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will
result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by
regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e.,
the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt
instruments)
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses
upon derecognition (equity instruments)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
During the current year, there are no financial assets measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income or through profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
This category is the most relevant to the Company. The Company measures financial assets at amortised
cost if both of the following conditions are met:
The financial asset is held within a business model to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash
flows, and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method
and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is
derecognised, modified, or impaired.
The Company’s financial assets at amortised cost include trade and other receivables.
Derecognition of a financial asset
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is derecognised when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired
Page 387 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Or
The Company tranfers a financial asset and the tranfer meets the requirements for write-off.
The Company transfers a financial asset if, and only if, it either:
transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset
Or
retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but assumes a
contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients in an arrangement.
When the Company transfers a financial asset, it shall evaluate the extent to which retains the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
In this case:
if the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the
entity shall derecognise the financial asset and recognise separately as assets or liabilities any rights and
obligations created or retained in the transfer.
if the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the
Company shall continue to recognise the financial asset.
if the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, shall determine whether it has retained control of the financial asset.
In this case:
(i) if the Company has not retained control, it shall derecognise the financial asset and recognise
separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer.
(ii) if the Company has retained control, it shall continue to recognise the financial asset to the extent of
its continuing involvement in the financial asset.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognise an allowance for expected credit losses for all debt instruments not held at fair
value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are based on the difference between the contractual
cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to
receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.
The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit
enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
For trade and other receivables, the Company apply a simplified approach in calculating expected credit
losses. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss
allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. For other financial assets, the
ECL is based on the 12-month ECL.
Page 388 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The 12-month ECL is the portion of lifetime ECLs that results from default events on a financial
instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. It should be noted that no such
case occurred during the fiscal year.
However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will
be based on the lifetime ECL. The Company considered the risk of default, the days past due and the
historical credit losses experienced adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information per
debtor to measure the expected credit losses for each individual trade and other receivable balance.
At each reporting date, the Company assess whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased
significantly from the initial recognition. The Company consider a financial asset in default when
contractual payments past due over the Company’s credit policy. However, in certain cases, the
Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information
indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before
taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when
there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities of the Company are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and
payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including
bank overdrafts.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest
rate amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or
costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is
included as finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings. Loans and borrowings are
classified as current liabilities unless the Group and the Company has the right to defer settlement for
at least twelve months from the date of financial position date.
Page 389 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Trade and other payables
Trade payables are obligations for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business by suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade account payables subsequent to
the initial recognition are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially
different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or
modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new
liability.The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the consolidated
statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to demand the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.
(i) Share Capital: The share capital includes the Company's ordinary shares that are included in equity.
Upon acquisition of treasury shares, the consideration paid, including the related expenses, is shown as
a deduction from equity (share premium). Expenses incurred for the issue of shares are recognized after
deduction of the relevant income tax, net of the issue proceeds. Expenses related to the issue of shares
for the acquisition of business are included in the acquisition cost of the business acquire.
The Company considers as cash (apart from cash on hand) time deposits and liquid investments
maturing in three months from the acquisition date.
(j) Provisions: Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are measured by discounting the expected
future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase of the provision due to the
passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date, and if it is no longer probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, they are reversed.
Provisions are used only for expenditures for which they were originally recognized. No provisions are
recognized for future operating losses. Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognized.

(k) Income Tax (Current and Deferred): Current and deferred income tax assessment are based on the
relevant amounts of the financial statements, according to tax Laws effective in Greece. Current income
tax concerns tax on the Company taxable profits, adjusted according to Greek tax Law and calculated
using the current tax rate on the reference date.
Deferred tax is assessed using the liability method in all temporary tax differences on the balance- sheet
date between the tax base and the accounting value of assets and liabilities. The expected tax
consequences from the temporary tax differences are assessed and stated either as deferred tax
liabilities or as deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets are posted to the financial statements for all allowable temporary differences and
tax losses carried forward as far as it is likely to set off these allowable temporary differences against
available taxable profits.
The accounting value of deferred tax assets is revised at each balance- sheet date and it is reduced up
to the point that it is not likely to have enough taxable profits, where part or all of the deferred tax assets
may be set off against. Current income tax receivable and liabilities for current and previous financial
years are valued at the amount expected to be paid to Tax Authorities (or be refunded by them), using
the tax rates (and tax Laws) in force up to the balance- sheet date.
Any differences resulting from tax audits are recorded in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 12 "Income Taxes" in the "Income Tax" line of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, while
the corresponding fines and surcharges are recorded in the "Other Operating Expenses" line of the
Statement of Comprehensive Income in accordance with the provisions of IAS 37.
(l) Revenue Recognition: Revenue is the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for
transferring promised services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties
(value-added tax, other sales taxes, etc.).
The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promising goods or services to customers, in
amounts that reflect the reward to which the Company is expected to be entitled of these goods or
services based on the following five-step approach:
Step 1: To identify the Contract or based on the applicable services described in the Company's tariffs
and regulations.
Step 2: To identify the separate performance obligations within a Contract or regulations.
Step 3: To determine the transaction price.
Step 4: To allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the Contract.
Step 5: To recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company derives revenue from Cargo loading and unloading services, mooring services, storage of
cargo services, income from passenger fees, income from vehicle passage , dry docking, and shipbuilding
repair zones services, the provision of electricity and water to the vessels, environmental services which
include a standard fee charged to each vessel approaching the port and fees related to the waste
handling of the vessels and other supporting services to the vessels.

Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Revenue is recognized when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of a
promised service to the customer. A customer obtains control of a service if it has the ability to direct
the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that service. Control is transferred
over time or at a point in time when the service is provided to the customer.
Management has determined that for loading and unloading services, berthing and mooring services,
passenger services, services relating to the provision of water and electricity, and for environmental
services there is a single performance obligation which is the loading and unloading of the respective
cargo (container, vehicles, bulk cargo), the berthing and the mooring of the vessel, the unboarding or
boarding of passengers, the provision of water and electricity, the mooring of the vessel and the waste
handling, respectively, and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the respective service is
provided to the customer and the customer obtains the benefit of these services.
For the storage services where the customer is charged with a daily charge for each day that the cargo
remains in the warehouse and for dry-docking and shipbuilding repairs zone services where the
customer is charged with a daily charge for each day that the vessel remains in the zone, the Company
has determined that there is one single performance obligation which is to provide the customer with
the required space and the related services. The Company has concluded that revenue from these
services meets the criteria to be recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives
and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as the Company performs. Therefore, since
the Company’s performance obligation is met evenly, revenue is recognized ratably for the period that
the cargo actually remained in the warehouse and the period that the vessel actually remained in the
zone, respectively. Prices for all services are fixed, based on stand-alone selling prices derived from price
lists.
A receivable is recognized when there is an unconditional right to consideration for the performance
obligations to the customer that are satisfied.
A contract asset is recognized when the performance obligation to the customer is satisfied before the
customer pays or before payment is due, usually when services are transferred to the customer before
the Company has a right to invoice.
A contract liability is recognized when there is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which
the Company has received consideration from the customer (prepayments) or there is an unconditional
right to receive consideration before the Company transfers a service (deferred income). The contract
liability is derecognized when the promise is fulfilled and revenue is recorded in the profit or loss
statement.
(m) Inventories: Materials and spare parts related to the Company mechanical equipment maintenance are
valued at the lower of acquisition cost and net realisable value and their cost is determined on the
weighted average cost basis. Materials are posted to inventories on purchase and recognized as
expenditure on consumption.
(n) Defined benefit plan: The provision for staff termination indemnities recorded in the statement of
financial position for the defined benefit plan is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit
in addition to changes occurring from any other actuarial profit or loss and the past service cost.
Page 392 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The discount rate is considered as the yield, at the balance sheet date, of high quality European
corporate bonds which have a maturity which approaches the time period of the Company’s liability.
The liability for this plan is determined using the projected unit credit method from an independent
valuer and includes the present value of accrued services during the year, the interest on future
liabilities, the prior service cost and the actuarial gains or losses.
The cost of current employment of defined benefit plan, the past service cost and finance cost are
recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding net
interest and the return on plan assets, are recognized immediately in the statement of financial position
with a corresponding debit or credit to the actuarial differences reserve through other comprehensive
income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not classified to profit or loss in
subsequent periods.
(o) Leases:
i. Company as lessee
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased
asset is available for use by the Company. Each lease payment is divided between the lease liability and
the finance cost. The interest on the lease liability for each period of the lease term is equal to the
amount resulting from the application of a fixed periodic interest rate on the outstanding balance of the
lease liability. The right of use asset is depreciated over the shorter period between the useful life of the
asset and the lease contact duration.
The assets and liabilities arising from the lease are initially valued at present value.
Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), ,
variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, which are initially measured using the
ratio or interest rate at the date of commencement of the lease term
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees,
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that
option.
The lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that
the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a
similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
After their initial measurement, lease liabilities are increased by the finance cost and reduced by the
lease payments. The lease liability is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or
to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
The Company elected to use the on-going recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the
commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option
(short-term leases), and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets).
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-
line basis as an expense in profit or loss.
Finally, the Company chose not to separate the non-lease components from lease components, and
instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease
component for all classes of underlying assets to which the right of use relates.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,
any initial direct costs, and
an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset,
restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by
the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. The lessee
incurs the obligation for those costs either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having
used the underlying asset during a particular period.
The Company presents the rights of use of the assets of the assets, which are not investment properties,
in the account "Right of use assets".
ii. Company as lessor
The leases in which the Company is a lessor relate solely to sub-leases and are classified as finance or
operating. The Company's sub-lease agreements at 31 December 2025 and 2024 relate exclusively to
operating leases.
Revenue from rental income arising, from operating leases, is accounted for on a straight-line basis over
the lease terms.
The Company reflects the future tax impacts of leases and recognises deferred tax. When recognising
deferred tax the Company has assessed the lease asset and lease liability together as a single or
‘integrally linked’ transaction and assessed the net temporary difference.
iii. Concession Agreement to PPA S.A.: In persuasion of the 35th article of 2932/2001 Law, Greek
Government and the Company signed on 13.2.2002 the Concession Agreement, by which the Greek
State transfers its exclusive right of use and exploitation of port zone lands, buildings and facilities of
Piraeus Port to the Company.
This concession was agreed for fixed period initial duration of 40 years, beginning on the day the
agreement and ending on 13.2.2042. The initial duration is possible to be extended once or several times
by Law and a new written agreement and modification of the 4.1 article of the Concession Agreement.

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
With the Common Ministry Decision (CMD) no. 8322/3-12-2008, published in Government Paper
2372/21-11-2008, the Concession Agreement duration has been modified from 40 to 50 years, beginning
on the 13/2/2002 (initial signature date) and ending on the respective date of the year 2052.
Management has examined whether the contract for the concession of the exclusive right to use and
exploit land, buildings and facilities at the Port of Piraeus Land Zone fall under the scope of the provisions
of Interpretation 12. Management concluded that the concession does not fall under the scope of
application of Interpretation 12, but meets the definition of a lease under IFRS 16. Therefore, the
Concession Agreement is accounted for in accordance with the Company's accounting policies for leases
where the Company acts as a lessee.
Government has received 1% of the Company’s consolidated annual income for each of the first 3 years
of the concession. The above percentage has increased to 2% of the Company’s consolidated annual
income after the 3rd year, on the same calculation basis.
Based on the new Concession Agreement signed on 24.6.2016 the percentage to Greek State has
increased to 3.5% of the Company’s consolidated annual income excluding finance income with fixed
minimum fee amounted to € 3.5 million.
As of 1/1/2019, following the adoption of IFRS 16, the minimum guaranteed consideration of the
Concession Agreement is included in the calculation of the lease liability and the related right-of-use
assets (Note 5). The variable part of the consideration, which is calculated as a percentage of the
Company's annual consolidated revenues, is not included in the measurement of the lease liability and
is recognized in the results of the period in which it arises.
The Company’ s most significant obligations arising from this agreement are:
Constant rendering of port services
Responsibility for the installation, improvement and maintenance of the security level in Piraeus
Port
Ensure fair deal to all port users
Payment of maintenance expenditure for all the property included in the Concession Agreement.
The Concession Agreement was amended by Law 4838/2021, Government Gazette 180A/ 01.10.2021
and the main points are the following:
non-imposition of liquidated damages for the non-time completion of the first mandatory
enhancements under article 16 of the concession agreement par 5 (a) (i)
extension of the first investment period for five (5) years
possibility of suspension of the first investment period - establishment of an amicable
settlement mechanism - possibility of replacing of the first investment period
non-imposition of liquidated damages against PPA in case of suspension
extension of the second investment period

introduction of a flexible procedure for the approval of final studies and non-mandatory PPA
investments

(p) National Insurance Programs:
The obligation for main or supplementary pension provision is covered by the main National Insurance
Department (EFKA- Social Insurance Institute) which concerns private sector and provides retirement,
medical and pharmaceutical services. Each employee is obliged to contribute part of his salary to the
National Insurance Department, while part of the total contribution is paid by the Company. On
employee retirement the National Insurance Department is responsible for their pension payments.
Therefore, the Company has no legal or presumed obligation for future payments according to this
program.
The employees of PPA are entitled upon retirement an allowance from the Unified Fund for
Supplementary Benefits and Lump-sum Benefits (ΕΤΕΑΕP) according to the statutory provisions of the
Fund and the Law N. 2084/92.
For the two welfare sectors, dockworkers and employees of PPA, the granted amount is currently
determined on the basis of the provisions of article 35 of Law N.4387 / 12-05-2016 (FEK 85A), considering
the average of the total remuneration without accounting holiday bonus - on which were calculated
social insurance contributions for welfare for the five-year period 2009-2013 and with the employee's
work year experience until 31/12/2013.
To this amount is added the total of insurance contributions for welfare from 01/01/2014 and
afterwards. Every employee is required to contribute a part of his monthly salary to the fund, while part
of the total contribution is covered by the Company.
This fund is a legal public company and is responsible for paying the above benefits to employees.
Consequently, the Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay future benefits under this
plan.
(q) Earnings per Share:
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the financial period net profit, corresponding to ordinary
shareholders, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued. The accompanying financial
statements did not include any profit decreasing bonds or other stock, convertible to shares.
Consequently, diluted earnings per share were not calculated.
(r) Dividends:
Dividends are accounted for when receipt rights are finalized by the resolution of the shareholders
general meeting.

(s) Concession Agreement of Piers II and III:
The Law 3755/2009 ratified by the Parliament ruled the concession of use and operation of Piers II and
III between the Company and COSCO Pacific Ltd. The contract term provided for 35 years. The
Concession Agreement entered into force on 1/10/2009 and till 31/5/2010 the operation of Pier II was
provided by the staff of the Company as a subcontractor. Within this period the project in Pier I, which
was constructed by the Company, was completed and started its operation by providing services directly
to Company’s clients.
The Agreement B Modification of the original Concession Agreement (GG 52 / 30.03.2009) between the
Company and Piraeus Container Terminal (PCT S.A.) following the 'Practical Process Amicable
Settlement', has been published in the Government Gazette 269 / 24.12.2014.
Under the Concession Agreement a payment of guaranteed consideration was foreseen, until
31.12.2021, which was replaced by the payment of Variable consideration that arises as a percentage
on consolidated revenues of PCT SA from the previous contract year.
In addition, it is envisaged by the Concession Agreement the calculation of fixed consideration I & II is
adjusted regarding the length of exploitation and the corresponding sq.m (Note 25). The concession
consideration is calculated and recognized in income for the period in accordance with the terms of the
contract and considered as lease contract based on IFRS 16 (Notes 2c and 3o(iii)).
The payment of Variable Consideration is performed on a monthly basis in arrears and the payment of
the standard exchange every six months in advance (Note 26).
(t) Benefits that depend on the value of share and are settled in cash:
The Company in accordance with IFRS 2 measures the services it obtains and the liability it undertakes
at the fair value of the liability. Until the settlement of the liability, the entity shall remeasure the fair
value of the liability at the reporting date as well as at the settlement date, and any changes in fair value
are recognized in profit or loss for the period. The obligation is measured, initially and at each reporting
date until the final settlement, at the fair value of the units on the increase in the share price from the
grant date and the respective redemption date, with the application of a valuation model taking into
account the terms and conditions under which the units have been granted. The fair value of the long-
term reward plan was determined using the Binomial model taking into account the share price, the
expected volatility of the share, the dividend yield as well as the free interest rate and the liability is
recognized in other long-term liabilities.
(u) Foreign Currency Conversion:
All the operations of the Company are all performed in Euro. Transactions made in foreign currencies
are converted into Euro using exchange rates effective at transaction date. Receivable and liabilities in
foreign currency are adjusted at the financial statements preparation date in order to state the exchange
rates effective at that date. Gains or losses arising from these adjustments are included in the Statement
of comprehensive income as foreign exchange gains or losses.

25. REVENUES
Revenues are analyzed as follows:
The increase in revenue for the current year compared to the same last year is mainly due to the increase in
revenue of loading and unloading by 7,770,060.35 or 17.4%, of cruise services-main activity by 5,044,892.80
or 24.8%, as well as in revenue of mooring by € 2,922,536.60 or 17.2%. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in revenue of ferry services-main activity of 3,375,844.02 or 36.9%, of storage services of
2,073,685.28 or 10.0%, as well as of total revenues from the ship repair activity (Docking and Ship Repair
Services) by € 1,145,882.55 or 7.2%.
The increase in revenue from loading/unloading is mainly due to the activities of the Container Terminal.
Throughput at the Container Terminal, Pier I, for the year 2025 reached 664,581 TEUs, recording an increase
of 17.9% compared to the corresponding year 2024 (563,725 TEUs).
In particular, a significant increase was recorded in domestic cargo (imports and exports) from 232,252 TEUs
in 2024 to 254,591 TEUs in 2025 (+9.6%), as well as transshipment cargo by 23.7% from 331,473 TEUs in 2024
to 409,990 TEUs in 2025.
Cruise ship arrivals in 2025 amounted to 862 compared to 810 in 2024, recording an increase of 6.42%. The
total number of passengers recorded an increase of 9.68% (1,863,397 passengers) compared to 2024
(1,698,877 passengers). Specifically, compared to 2024, there was an 8.2% increase (1,091,364 passengers
compared to 1,008,209 passengers) in homeport passengers and an 11.8% increase (772,033 passengers
compared to 690,668 passengers) in transit passengers.
The increase in berthing revenues comes mainly from cruise ships due to an increased number of arrivals,
recording an increase of 6.42% compared to the corresponding last year, but also due to a change in the
berthing and mooring price (an increase of 15% from that in force in 2024).
Page 424 από 437
PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
As well as from the increase in the number of RORO ship arrivals at the Car Terminal, recording an increase of
31.1% compared to the corresponding last year.
The decrease in revenue from ferry shipping is mainly because, from May 1, 2025, and for a period of one (1)
year, the Company proceeded to reduce the fees for ships and passengers of Ferry Shipping by 50% in
accordance with the relevant amendment of the Ministry of Shipping & Island Policy. The amendment has a
significant impact on the revenue of the activity for the period of application of the current year, i.e. reduction
by an amount of 3.4 million compared to the corresponding period last year, as well as a decrease of € 1.1
million resulting from the mooring of coastal shipping and included in the "Mooring" item.
The decrease in storage revenues is mainly due to the Car Terminal sector, where despite the increase in cargo,
both domestic (31.12.2025: 153,213 vehicles, 31.12.2024: 137,825 vehicles) and transshipment cargo
(31.12.2025: 138,074 vehicles, 31.12.2024: 109,775 vehicles), the malfunction of the supply chain (domestic
and international) during the previous year, has resulted in a significant increase in the time spent by cargoes
at the Company's piers.
The resolution of this emergency situation within the current year had a significant impact on in the revenues
of storage which amounted to approximately 11.2 million in 2025 (31.12.2024: 14.8 million) more than
covering the benefit from the increase in other revenues, and mainly the increased levels of handling, leading
to the overall decrease in the segment's revenues (Note 24) and more generally the Company's storage
revenues.
The decrease in revenues from Docking and Ship Repair Services is mainly due to the reduced overall dynamics
of ship repair activity due to repair work on one of the floating docks of PPA that was in progress during the
first half of 2025.
The significant increase in revenue from the Pier II + III concession agreement is mainly due to the increase in
the variable consideration, which amounted to 74,215,831.56 (31.12.2024: € 66,009,391.37). The concession
consideration is calculated and recognized in income for the period in accordance with the terms of the contract
and considered as lease contract based on IFRS 16.
The Company operates in sectors that are highly seasonal. In particular, the revenues of the Cruise sector are
significantly concentrated in the third quarter due to increased tourist traffic.
At the same time, the ferry shipping activity also shows increased activity during the third quarter, without its
seasonality being considered significant in relation to the Company's overall results.
It is noted that there is no seasonality in the Company's other activities.

26. ANALYSIS OF EXPENSES
Expenses (cost of sales and administrative expenses) are analyzed as follows:
Payroll and employee related costs: : The significant increase in payroll and employee related costs during the
current year compared to the corresponding period last year is mainly due to the additional incremental increase
in payroll of employees and dock workers according to the CBA in force from 1/8/2024 and 1/7/2024
respectively, the implementation from 1/4/2025 of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement of Supervisors &
Foremen, as well as the increased employment (hourly wages) of dock workers to serve the organic growth
presented in most of the Company's activity sectors in year 2025, as well as the increase in personnel during the
current year compared to the previous year.
Third Party Services: The significant increase in third-party fees and expenses during the current year compared
to the corresponding last year is mainly due to the increase in the use of external partners, mainly for loading
and unloading services, by an amount of approximately € 1.8 million.
Various Expenses: The increase in various expenses during the current year compared to the corresponding last
year is mainly due to the increase in cleaning port services expenses by approximately 1.9 million, as well as

Auditors S.A." for the years 2025 and 2024 respectively, regarding the services provided related to the statutory

clauses by the Greek State, in case of non-execution of mandatory investments as of August 2021.

delays in the execution of mandatory investment projects were outside the Company's reasonable control
and therefore fell within the exemption from the imposition of penalties in Article 16.5 (a) (i) of the Contract
Concession. This assessment was verified with the agreement of 22/09/2021 Amendment the Concession
Agreement between the Company and the Greek State as verified by Law 4838 / 1.10.2021 Government

34. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying sheets of financial position for cash and cash
equivalents, trade and other receivables, suppliers and accrued and other current liabilities approximate their
respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The fair value of variable rate loans and borrowings approximate the amounts appearing in the statements of
financial position.
The Company categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value in three categories, defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) values from active financial markets for identical negotiable assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inflows that have a significant impact on the recorded fair value are
identified or determined directly or indirectly from active financial markets.
Level 3: Techniques that use inflows that have a significant impact on the recorded fair value and are not based
on quoted prices from active financial markets.
Financial risk management:
The financial risks related to the Company and their respective management are as follows:
Credit Risk: The Company's Management estimates that its exposure to credit risk is limited towards the
contracting parties, - as a matter of policy - it receives advances payments or letters of guarantee for most of its
provided services . From the above applied policy are excluded customers who belong to the same group of
companies, as mentioned in note 33 "Related Party Transactions". In addition, the transactional activity between
the Company and its related party company, Piraeus Container Terminal SA, which is the Company's largest
customer in terms of volume, is mainly covered by the terms of the concession agreement between them, which
is under the supervision of the Greek State. It should be noted that despite the very significant amount and
range of related parties transactions, no credit event has occurred until now that could raise a credit risk.
In addition, the Company's cash at banks and time deposits are placed in bank financial institutions in Greece
and generally in European Union, with the following ratings (Moody's credit rating):

(amounts in Euro unless stated otherwise)
Foreign Exchange Risk: The Company is neither involved in international trade nor has any long term loans in
foreign currency and therefore is not exposed to foreign exchange risk resulting from foreign currency rate
variations.
Interest rate risk: The Company's bank lending concerns two loans in Euro and is subject to one fixed rate and
the other to a variable interest rate (Note 19). The Company, during the year does not use bank borrowing and
therefore there is no interest rate risk.
Additionally, in the context of managing its assets as effectively as possible, as well as limiting any possible
impact of increased borrowing interest rates on its results, the Company's Management, taking advantage of its
strong liquidity, implements short-term reinvestments of these, expoiting the increased interest rates on term
deposits.
The table below presents and analyses the sensitivity of the result in relation to financial assets (cash on hand
and in banks) and financial liabilities (loans) of the Company to the interest rate risk changes assuming a
simultaneous change in interest rates by ± 100 basis points on the Company’s profit.
Liquidity risk: The effective management of liquidity risk is ensured by maintaining sufficient cash and the
availability of financing in case of need. Corporate liquidity risk management is based on the proper
management of working capital and cash flows.

35. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The most significant events after December 31, 2025, are the following:
First Investment Period Duration
In accordance with the provisions of article 7.2 and Annex 7.2a of the Concession Agreement between PPA SA
and the Hellenic Republic (the contracting parties), ratified by law 4404/2016, as amended (law 4838/2021), the
identification and quantification of one or more Suspension Events, by the Independent Engineer, during the
execution of the Mandatory Investment projects, results in a corresponding extension of the First Investment
Period. The identification and quantification of the Suspension Events falls under the competence of the
Independent Engineer and is recorded in the Reports that they submit to the contracting parties. In this case,
the Independent Engineer has identified, quantified and recorded in his Reports, to date, Suspension Events of
a total duration of 1177 days. Consequently, the First Investment Period, which was to expire on August 9, 2026,
has been extended by the corresponding period, i.e. by 1177 days, with a new expiration date (as of this day and
subject to any occurrence of new Suspension Events in the future) on October 29, 2029. The above is established
and recorded in the most recent 35
th
Quarterly Report of the Independent Engineer referenced to the last
quarter of 2025, which has been duly notified by the Independent Engineer to both parties (PPA SA and the
Greek State) on January 28, 2026.
Evolutions in the Middle East
Following the reporting date, and specifically during February 2026 ,an armed conflict broke out in Iran, forming
part of the broader context of geopolitical instability in the Middle East. This development does not constitute
an adjusting event in accordance with IAS 10 “Events after the Reporting Period”, as the relevant conditions did
not exist at the reporting date.
The Company’s Management closely monitors and continuously assesses the impact of the volatile situation in
the Middle East on the macroeconomic and financial environment , such as potential energy instability and
increase in energy costs, inflationary pressures, and severe disruptions in international shipping and global trade,
in order to ensure that all necessary actions and measures are taken to minimize any potential effects on the
Company’s operations.
As part of the Company’s operations, cargo containers are transported either from or to ports in the countries
involved or neighboring regions. These shipments for the 2025 fiscal year were not significant in relation to the
Company’s overall operations.
At the same time, in the context of developments in international shipping and trade flows in the wider region,
certain changes and diversions in routes and cargoes towards to Piraeus have been observed so far. The nature
of these changes is currently assessed as temporary, as the situation is evolving dynamically and is constantly
being reassessed in light of geopolitical developments, both by the Company and by shipping providers.
As of the date of approval of the financial statements, it is not possible to estimate any potential quantitative
impact of this development on the Company’s results and financial position.
Other than the above, there are no other significant events after December 31, 2025, that may have a
material impact on the company's financial position.
