ICAP Acts Green
The ICAP Acts Green program aims at the adoption of an active ecological behaviour during work and is based on employee volunteering. ICAP has designed a bookmark with ten points of actions, which has been shared among employees where practical tips applied on the daily work routine contribute to the protection of the environment.

Notification on the celebration of "International Days"
The ICAP Human Capital Division regularly informs all employees of the Days that are celebrated internationally, such as World No Tobacco Day, World Environment Day, International Volunteer Day, World Car Free Day or Earth Hour, with the encouragement of personal participation in various actions organized throughout the country.

Recycling
There are recycling bins for paper, light bulbs and batteries in all ICAP offices, which are easily accessible to employees, who have fully adopted the culture against the use of paper and its recycling whenever its use is inevitable. ICAP recycles more than 15 tons of paper annually. We also use objects made of biodegradable materials and we have special building facilities that ensure the environmental management of resources related to water, electricity, heat, etc.

Environmental Excursions
Every year, employees participate in two excursions of an environmental nature, one organized on a work day and the other which takes place on a Sunday.

Every Spring, ICAP dedicates an entire work day to an environmental action involving all employees, which separates it from similar Corporate Initiatives. The purpose of this event is to combine an offer to nature with the implementation of group educational activities that inspire, reward and shape social relationships and teamwork. Also, in the fall, employees are invited to participate in an excursion, if they so wish, along with their families, to pick up litter at a beach, reforest a region or any kind of environmental care. The aim is to cultivate ecological awareness and reinforce the concept of volunteering in our employees and their families.

ICAP operates environmentally throughout Greece through its offices in four major cities (Thessaloniki, Larissa, Patra and Heraklion, Crete), actively demonstrating that its environmental sensitivity is not limited to the geographical zone of the capital.

SOCIETY and VOLUNTEERING

In the context of Social Contribution and Volunteering, we are in constant communication with organizations and NGOs so as to listen to their needs and strive to respond actively. We are, therefore, implementing a program of actions aimed at strengthening and supporting, both morally and by means of donating goods, vulnerable social groups through NGOs such as ELEPAP, PEKAMEA, "SOS Children's Villages", "Together for Children". In addition, we assist in specific cases deemed necessary, such as helping people affected by natural disasters (flood, fires, earthquakes).

In the same context of Social Contribution and as a Company were 65% of its human capital is comprised of women, we are sensitised to the issue concerning any prevention and actively participate in various events of associations such as the Hellenic Association of Women with Breast Cancer "Alma Zois".

Two Bazaars are organized at our offices during the Easter and Christmas periods, in collaboration with NGOs, contributing to their efforts.

Additionally, through the Corporate portal (interactive internal communication website), the Human Capital Division frequently informs employees regarding various environmental and other initiatives, in order to motivate them and their families to participate.
