Investing in the Environment
In 2024, YIOTIS covered 36.45% of its total energy needs from Renewable Energy Sources, actively strengthening its strategy for sustainable development. Compared to 2022 (the year in which the Company began systematically investing in renewable energy) CO₂ emissions were reduced by 19.2%, reflecting the cumulative progress achieved over the 2022–2024 period. During the same timeframe, the use of fossil fuels decreased by 6.8%. In addition, the Company continued its waste and plastic reduction initiatives, with the use of packaging materials showing a steady downward trend.
Investing in Research and Development
YIOTIS S.A. consistently invests in Research and Development through its dedicated department, which designs innovative food products that respond to contemporary dietary trends. The Innovation Department ensures the upgrading of infrastructure and supports the production process optimization.

Investing in Society
In the field of social contribution, YIOTIS S.A. carries out significant initiatives with a meaningful social impact, developed across two main pillars.
