FOR LAMDA Development, an organization’s starting point for doing business should be its contribution to social cohesion and domestic growth, in order to be able to smoothly operate within the environment it has chosen.

LAMDA abides by its ethical commitments with regard to transparency, quality of service, defending human rights, environmental protection and safeguarding cultural heritage, which represent our main principles in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Corporate business activities and operating three shopping centers (The Mall Athens, Golden Hall, Mediterranean Cosmos) have created 7,000 jobs and accommodate 530 shops generating an annual turnover of €700 m.

To this end, our Hellinikon investment aims at strengthening growth and productivity. In detail, it is expected to generate 75,000 new job vacancies during operation, adding thus a 2,4% in the Greek GDP until its completion date and more than € 14 b. to the Greek State in taxes.
At the same time, numerous notable synergies are deployed between the Golden Hall, The Mall Athens, Mediterranean Cosmos and the Flisvos Marina with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and other entities.

This way all partners may be hosted in public spaces of our company-owned shopping centers in order to communicate their work to an audience of 25,000,0000 visitors annually.

In 2016, a series of programs took place supporting no less than 70 different NGOs. For more info, please refer to the Annex.

Beyond our corporate strategy, an important role is played by our human workforce, which is encouraged to take part in social programs, such as promotion of recycling in work places, volunteering in blood donation, food collection for vulnerable groups of people, as well as on-going training programs.

Moreover, LAMDA Development proceeds in drafting joint CSR policies between the mother company and its commercial ventures, so that multiple social benefits may be produced.

A telling example of that was to financially support the Special Olympics Hellas, and other social charity associations and organizations, like ELEPAP (Rehabilitation for the Disabled) and AMIMONI (Panhellenic Association of Parents and Friends of the Visually Impaired People with Additional Special Needs), all hosted in our shopping centers. At the same time, our staff members volunteered to support them and put on communication events and other awareness-raising workshops.

In LAMDA Development, we place particular importance to corporate social responsibility since we consider that corporations, being an integral part of society, have to unquestionably adopt a responsible business attitude by putting in place those principles that have a return for society.

In this context, during 2017, we carried out support programs for more than 70 different NGOs in the premises of our shopping centers (Τhe Mall Athens, Golden Hall, Mediterranean Cosmos); similar actions also took place in the Flisvos Marina.

Please find below the full list of all organizations we actively supported either by hosting their communication events in our shopping center premises free of charge, or financially or by collecting basic essentials or in any other way.
