Enterprises Shipping and Trading S.A. hosted a reception at the Athens Golf Club on the 5th June 2012 in light of the Posidonia Exhibition, to celebrate two major achievements: ISO 50001:2011 and EBEN Gold Bee.

The ISO 50001 Certificate was handed over to Mr. Victor Restis by Mr. B. Anne, VP of Bureau Veritas, congratulating him for the accomplishment of such a demanding task. This certificate verifies EST’s commitment to continuously improve its energy efficiency, while it is the 1st awarded by BV in Greece.

In his speech, Mr. Restis thanked all the employees both ashore and onboard the 91 ships managed by Enterprises for their contribution and loyalty. None of this would be possible, he said, without the support of our people stationed all over the world and their families.

ISO 50001 is a voluntary international standard requiring an energy management system, an action plan to measure and manage the energy usages, a baseline to set targets, programs and practical measures to ensure
energy conservation.

In addition to the above, EST is the first company to obtain the “Gold Bee-State of Honesty Award” in six criteria. The European Business Ethics Network Greece (EBEN GR) presented EST with the award through its European President Mr. A. Gortzis on the 5th June 2012 at Megaron Mousikis during an elegant ceremony
