LAMDA Development: A people-centric corporate culture
In the contemporary business world, a company's success is not measured solely by its financial performance. Companies need to build cultures that reflect their purposes and values. At LAMDA Development, our vision is to create projects that transform people's lives and drive society forward.
To achieve our vision, we choose to invest in our people. We perceive collaboration not merely as an operational necessity, but as a powerful strategic advantage. Therefore, we treat our employees with respect and empathy, creating daily enabling conditions for open communication, teamwork and trust. We ensure all our teams operate in coordination, with clear roles and a sense of responsibility.
Equity, inclusion and respect in the workplace
We provide equal opportunities for expression, advancement and contribution to all our people, regardless of their gender, age, national origin or potential disability. We embrace diversity and inclusion at all levels, creating a workplace environment where our employees feel a sense of belonging and acceptance.
The equal participation of women at every level of the organization is not merely an objective – it is a reality. More than 50% of our workforce consists of women, and their presence in leadership roles is constantly increasing.
Ethical treatment dictates how we operate and how we handle all our business relationships. Therefore, we have established and rigorously implement a Human Rights Policy and a Workplace Non-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment, And Violence Prevention Policy, which is included in our Code of Conduct and applies to everyone.
Knowledge is our strength
At LAMDA Development, providing excellent employee training is a collective commitment. In an ever-changing world, we actively invest in lifelong learning and in the acquisition of new skills. We believe our dedication to training ensures the high quality of our projects, while also offering our people opportunities for professional advancement and personal development.
In this light, we implement educational programs internally or in cooperation with external partners and encourage all our employees to participate. Annually, we provide over 12,000 hours of internal training.
Additionally, we offer extra days of educational leave for our employees to attend their postgraduate courses, supporting their specialization and academic advancement. Beyond skills and industry knowledge, we also train our people on critical issues, such as transparency and combating corruption.
Openness: A pathway to progress
Driven by innovation as our everlasting vision, we create projects that transform people's lifestyles. Knowing that innovation cannot be achieved without openness, we chose to become one of the few companies in Greece that attract significant international talent.
To bring our vision to life, we have partnered with world-renowned architecture firm Foster + Partners, which has been commissioned to design the masterplan for The Ellinikon, currently Europe's most significant urban regeneration project. The same firm has also been commissioned to design the Riviera Tower, the tallest coastal skyscraper in the Mediterranean and a prime example of sustainable construction. Additionally, we commissioned renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma to design the Riviera Galleria shopping mall, which is expected to become a new landmark on the Athens Riviera.
At LAMDA Development, we have taken on the challenge of the brain gain and actively participate in the “Rebrain Greece” national program. Our goal is to attract Greek talent back home. Young professionals from diverse fields who began their careers abroad are now joining our team.
LAMDA Development: A company set to inspire
In a rapidly changing world, LAMDA Development is not merely a profitable company. It is an organization eager to reshape the future, placing society at its core, as evidenced by our projects. Our inclusion in the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list in 2024 positions us among the world's most innovative companies recognized for their social impact, alongside companies like Google, Amazon, and Disney.
Our success relies on the efforts of our people. Therefore, we provide everyone with a creative work environment that motivates the showcasing of their abilities. We reward excellence at every level, and reward our people’s efficiency and dedication.
