About Us
Green economy consists of activities in sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable construction, eco-transport, protecting land and water resources, and waste management. Any enterprise in these sectors will without doubt require specialist business consulting support in order to design, develop and implement novel approaches. In addition, to maintain its competitive edge, any business will need recourse to green development incentives provided by the State in line with its aims and commitments.
Entec Consultants was founded in Greece in 2006, aiming to address the absence of a dedicated green economy development advisor among the country’s consultancy firms. We are a team of sector experts, engineers and legal specialists offering a comprehensive, customized range of green economy consultancy services, fully tailored to your requirements.
Our operations are based on the philosophy of an integrated approach, which we interpret as high value-added consulting on the full pathway from inception to full implementation.Our portfolio includes established Greek and international companies with dominant profiles in the development of renewable energy and environmental projects.

Infrastructures
Buildings
Entec Consultants is strategically located in hubs in Athens and Crete. Our base in Heraklion, Crete, has long contributed to the energy development of the region, and our offices in Athens reach out to our customer base in every region of Greece. Our Crete offices are on 36 Makariou Avenue on Heraklion, a restored listed building of 120sqm situated directly opposite the ancient city walls.
We have installed a 5kW grid-connected solar power system that meets our energy needs - the first of its kind to be installed on a non-connected island following the introduction of Law 3468/2006, subsidized by the 3rd European Community Support Framework. Our Athens offices are located in a modern building at the centre of Athens, close to the Attiki Odos freeway and just 150 meters away from the Katechaki metro station.
Geodesic Equipment
To conduct site surveying and tracking we have acquired a full range of state-of-the-art geodetic stations consisting of six (6) Trimble R4 & R8 GPS/GNSS receivers and one (1) Trimble S3 Total Station. Our large instrument inventory allows us to work on simultaneous projects
in multiple locations, using the HEPOS system in real time. For larger projects, the combined use of all our equipment allows us to complete surveys of thousands of acres in a matter of a few days, or establish high-precision topographic networks etc.
ΙΤ Infrastructure
Entec Consultants has prioritised the development of an advanced IT infrastructure since day one. By actively incorporating the latest technologies into day-to-day business operations, we can efficiently support remote field workers and share our infrastructure resources between sites. We implement innovative technologies for remote collaboration, office connectivity (BOVPN – DFSR - VoIP), remote access, firewall and protection from cyber-attacks (QoS - VPN - Watchguard security appliances).
We apply strict permission policies for files and information that prevent unauthorized access to personal information and other data ensuring all those are stored in the most confidential and safe environment. Investments in hardware and infrastructure such as a data center with air-conditioning, access control, high capacity UPS, redundant server and storage arrays and Gigabit LAN infrastructure.
Operational Excellence
Entec Consultants strives to protect the environment and to conduct operations safely, qualitatively and efficiently. The systematic management of the above is how we define Operational Excellence.
Quality Management
For us, quality is of paramount importance. We keep improving our product and services by following strict operational processes and constantly evaluating their performance results. Our quality management system is certified in accordance with the international quality standard ISO 9001:2008. But that was only the first step. Entec Contractors has already proceeded in developing a management system above and beyond the minimum certification requirements.
Code of Corporate and Environmental Ethics
Our fundamental orientation is aligned to the need to respect the natural, social and business environment in which we operate. For this purpose, from our inception we have developed and applied industry-leading codes of business and environmental ethics. By placing an emphasis on environmental ethics, we demonstrate our belief in corporate responsibility as a component of respect for the environment. This is our contribution to sustainable development and enhancing quality of life.
Innovative Software
Our internal functions are powered by CRM & ERP, a business intelligence software developed by Enverse, member of the Entec Group of Companies. The software has been designed to comply with paperless office guidelines and has been customized to Entec Consultants’ needs. It provides dynamic client and contact management, unified handling of incoming, outgoing and internal documents and assures the compliance with the requirements of the quality standard.
Green Entec
In Entec Consultants, we prioritize environmental awareness, one of the main components of what we call social responsibility. In particular, we encourage our employees to give us new ideas that enable us to widen our environmental contributions. Every year our company responsibly materializes the best of them.

Recycling
In Entec, we follow all possible methods of recycling (paper, aluminum, glass, batteries) and we help anyone interested in adopting similar practices.
Coast Cleaning Day
In Entec we love the sea. For this reason we have set a coastal cleanup day.
Once a year you can find us by the seaside picking up rubbish bags and clearing up the beach, while at the same time endeavouring to inform and sensitize the community.

Energy Footprint Offsetting
Our energy footprint is the total quantity of CO2 emissions generated by the sum of our energy use. We calculate and offset these emissions by our Green policy.
RES Exploiting
In 2007 we constructed the first on Crete grid-connected photovoltaic power system that was installed on top of a roof. And of course we installed it on the roof of the building where our company is housed!
Since then we support Renewable Sources of Energy as our main capital investment activity, and we intend to follow the same initiative for the years to come. Company now owns and operates 2MW of PV parks and develops a strong Wind Energy pipeline.

Paperless office
Protection of the environment is always among our priorities. For this reason we are trying as far as possible to reduce paper consumption by converting hard copies of our documents into electronic ones and by developing software that automates the internal processes of our company.
In Entec, we calculate the emissions from our vehicles, as well as from electric power use, central heating, security devices, transportation of goods, photocopying devices, paper and computer use.
And of course, we never proceed with the purchase of electronic devices without calculating the effect we leave on the planet
