Introduction
​​
At K. A. Kourtellos & Co LLC, our commitment to sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards is deeply integrated into our business ethos. We believe that law firms, like all businesses, have a responsibility to contribute positively to society, uphold ethical values, and minimise environmental impact. Our Sustainability Policy outlines our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, community engagement and ethical governance.

Health & Community Support: “Olympus Hike” Initiative (2023–Present)
​
In 2023, K. A. Kourtellos & Co LLC launched the “Olympus Hike” initiative; a unique, purpose-driven journey combining wellness, environmental appreciation, and charitable giving.
​
-
A team of professionals from our firm and community members hiked from Limassol to Mount Olympus in the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus’ highest peak.
-
The goal was to raise awareness and funds for children living with congenital heart disease (CHD).
-
This initiative was organized in close partnership with the Association of Parents and Friends of Children with Heart Diseases, Cyprus’ leading non-profit supporting children with heart conditions and their families.
-
Funds raised contributed to medical support, educational outreach, and family counseling services.
-
This bi-annual event is now a recurring ESG tradition at our firm, reflecting our enduring commitment to public health and child advocacy.
