Sunlight Academy, an initiative by Sunlight Group, invites students for facility visits

Sunlight Group a member of Olympia Group, opens its doors to students from Northern Greece, offering them a unique glimpse into the world of industrial innovation and recycling technology. This initiative, led by Sunlight Academy—the company’s learning and development program—underscores Sunlight's growing commitment to fostering education and community engagement. Through this effort, the company seeks to inspire the next generation by providing valuable insights into sustainable manufacturing and advanced industrial processes.

In 2024, more than 500 students from Thessaloniki, Kavala, Xanthi, and Rodopi were welcomed to Sunlight's facilities, during the academic year, nearly doubling the number of student visitors compared to 2023. Students from secondary schools, vocational training institutions, and university faculties, visited the Industrial Complex in Xanthi and the Recycling Plant in Komotini and witnessed the transformation of raw materials into high-tech products and gained a deeper understanding of the crucial role of recycling in sustainable manufacturing. These visits offer invaluable hands-on experiences, enabling students to discuss with industry professionals and watch first-hand the cutting-edge technologies driving Sunlight Group's operations.

Agis Liberakis, Global Manufacturing Executive Director at Sunlight Group highlighted: “Sunlight Group remains committed to its local communities, actively supporting education initiatives, and fostering the development of future professionals while raising awareness about the pivotal role of innovation, technology, and sustainability. We are excited to have welcomed young minds to our facilities, giving them the opportunity to observe and learn about our operations and the innovative processes that keep us at the forefront of the industry. We hope these experiences will enrich their knowledge and inspire their future careers."

Sunlight Academy is the company’s program for advancing education and continuous learning, encompassing both internal and external initiatives. By consolidating a diverse range of educational programs, it streamlines efforts and reinforces the company's commitment to growth. Hosting students at its facilities, the Academy also strengthens community ties and inspires future leaders in manufacturing and sustainable energy.

In addition to its focus on education and community engagement, Sunlight Group earned the prestigious EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing it in the top 5% of organizations globally for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. In just two years, Sunlight progressed from no rating to Bronze (top 35%) and now Gold, highlighting its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR). This recognition reinforces Sunlight's dedication to sustainability across its operations and through initiatives like Sunlight Academy, which fosters community engagement and inspires future leaders.
