Achievements and new services amid relentless disruption

FY25 has been a period of significant developments for EY, both globally and in Greece, as we deliver on our commitment to generate measurable and lasting value for our people, clients, and communities, through our new global strategy, All in, while also remaining firmly aligned with our purpose and strategic vision.

The expansion of the EY-Parthenon brand, brought together all services of the firm’s Strategy and Transactions (SaT) practice under a single, unified sub-brand. The newly consolidated EY-Parthenon service line now includes 25,000 professionals across 150 countries. In Greece, the EY-Parthenon team now comprises over 160 professionals, specializing in areas such as corporate strategy, strategic transformation, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions advisory, infrastructure and real estate investment consulting, capital advisory, as well as operational and financial restructuring of organizations.

EY Studio+, a fusion of services and top-tier talent across diverse disciplines, also launched this year, accelerating people-centered business growth and transformation in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), providing strategic support to clients in the fields of Marketing, Sales, Design, Customer Experience, Technology, and Service and Product Innovation.  

In Greece, the EY Robotics Lab, at the core of the AI & Data Center of Excellence, integrates Gen AI and RPA technologies and robotic systems to create solutions that address real-world needs. Centered on people, enhancing their capabilities and improving everyday life, it demonstrates how AI and robotics can work alongside and interact directly with humans, always guided by responsible and ethical development and use.

The innovative EY Applied Neuroscience Lab, harnessing the power of advanced neuroscience technologies – such as brain imaging and eye-tracking – offers cutting-edge solutions in Neuromarketing, Neuroleadership, NeuroHR, and Neurosafety, by analyzing emotions, reactions, and decision-making in real-time.

The EY Sales Enablement consulting suite strengthens the EY People Advisory Services in Greece, aiming to support businesses in sales strategy and growth by empowering their sales professionals.

Technology and innovation remain central to sustainable growth. In FY25, EY in Greece advanced this agenda by leveraging AI, cloud, and data to support the country’s digital and green transitions with ethical, inclusive solutions. We strengthened collaboration with CERTH to connect research with entrepreneurship and unlock national and EU funding opportunities. Together with Microsoft, we rolled out the AI Skills Passport and Green Skills Passport to equip students and early‑career professionals —including those from underserved groups— with practical AI and sustainability skills. We also supported ecosystem partnerships, including with the Science and Technology Park of Crete (STEP‑C), to accelerate technology transfer and market adoption.

Sustainability & Energy Management

In FY25, we also obtained ISO 50001:2018 certification for our Energy Management System (EnMS), further strengthening our decarbonization journey and our disciplined approach to energy performance improvement across our operations in Greece.

Aligned with the EY Global Environment Strategy, we are progressing toward achieving our absolute decarbonization target of a 50% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions by FY30 from an FY19 base year. In parallel, we prioritize the procurement of 100% renewable electricity for our operations.

New offices for a new era

Our new offices in Thessaloniki, inaugurated in September 2025, celebrate 30 years of continuous presence in the city, reinforcing our support to businesses and communities across Northern Greece and Thessaly, shaping a new productive model, in alignment with the national objective of sustainable regional development.

In 2025, also saw the opening of our new offices in Heraklion, Crete, located at the Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH), recognizing Crete’s growth potential and investing in its highly skilled talent pool.

Last but not least, next year we will move to our new offices in Athens, located in ‘The Grid’ complex and spanning 61,500 sq.m. The new offices integrate innovative technologies to enhance client interaction while minimizing environmental footprint, aiming to become a landmark in Maroussi and a reference point for the city of Athens. Designed with a flexible and timeless layout, they address both current and future needs, promoting employee well-being through a modern work model. Fully aligned with sustainable development and bioclimatic design principles, the offices are expected to achieve LEED Platinum and WELL Bronze certifications, ensuring an A+ energy rating.

Investing in our people

Delivering on our commitment to our clients and society means building on the talent, dedication, and passion of our people. We strive to provide a supportive, inclusive, and flexible workplace that allows employees to grow, thrive, and balance professional ambitions with personal and family priorities.

In FY25, our female headcount reached 46% of our staff, while women account for 36% of our senior management, a figure that we aim to increase to at least 40% by the end of calendar year 2027. Also, it is important to mention that 52% of our 441 promotions in FY25 were women.

Over the last decade, our headcount has grown by 389%, including the recruitment of more than 31 Greeks returning from abroad, helping to counteract the brain drain of the previous fifteen years; an effort that earned EY the ‘Top Employer for Greeks Abroad’ recognition at the BrainReGain Annual Conference.
