At the OTE Group, the leading organization in the telecommunications sector in Greece, we consider it our duty to grow steadily and to ensure the uninterrupted provision of quality telecommunication services, in accordance with the requirements and expectations of all stakeholders, protecting ourselves against unforeseen events and emergencies, and shielding our value and our corporate reputation. That is why we implement a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) which focuses on establishing, implementing, running, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving the organization's business continuity.
To achieve the above and to ensure both stability and development, we use business continuity techniques in accordance with the ISO 22301:2012 standard, while at the same time carrying out risk analyses at critical buildings as well as impact assessment studies on the Group's activities. In addition, through continuous and targeted training, testing, drills and info-events, we ensure that all OTE Group employees fully understand their roles and responsibilities in relation to the Business Continuity Management Program.
Executives from the BCM unit of the OTE Group received certifications as BCM Practitioners through BCS/The Chartered Institute for IT (former ISEB) and BCI/ Business Continuity Institute, thus confirming the high level of know-how and training among the Group's personnel.
