Interview with Giorgos Farlekas, CEO of Manifest, at ESG News
Manifest, one of Greece’s leading companies in Construction, Facility Management and Energy Services, has established itself as a benchmark for business excellence, innovation and responsible growth. With an annual turnover exceeding €30 million and operations in eight countries, the company consistently invests in advanced technologies, in-house resources and specialized personnel to deliver high-performance solutions.
In a recent interview published in ESG News by Citygen, Manifest’s CEO, Giorgos Farlekas, shared the company’s sustainability strategy, focusing on energy efficiency, social contribution, transparency and the role of technology in driving responsible growth.
Energy management is deeply integrated into Manifest’s operations. The company has implemented solutions such as LED lighting, BMS systems and smart metering, while also evaluating the gradual integration of Renewable Energy Sources. Manifest extends this approach to its clients, offering energy upgrades and real-time monitoring projects that reduce consumption and environmental impact.
Manifest’s social responsibility initiatives include support for vulnerable groups, environmental actions and educational programs, rooted in the belief that “a business cannot thrive unless the community around it thrives as well”. The impact of these initiatives is measured through indicators such as volunteer hours and supported families, as well as through long-term cultural and behavioral change.
The company aims to triple its size within three years, while maintaining its commitment to transparency and sound corporate governance. Through clear KPIs, certifications and effective risk management systems, Manifest ensures that its growth remains sustainable and purpose-driven.
Technology plays a central role in Manifest’s ESG strategy. By integrating IoT, predictive maintenance, smart metering and AI dashboards, the company enhances the efficiency of its Facility Management services and provides solutions that help clients reduce costs and achieve their sustainability goals.
Looking ahead, Manifest is exploring new markets with stricter ESG frameworks and developing new services such as smart sustainability solutions and energy upgrade projects. The goal is to become the strategic partner that leads organizations into the future of sustainable development.
