For ten consecutive years, Nikos managed the drafting, external assurance, and communication of the National Bank’s Corporate Responsibility Report, its engagement with international ESG rating agencies, and the publication of CSR disclosures in line with evolving regulatory requirements. He also designed the Bank’s e-learning programme on Environmental Policy and Management and served for four years as a lecturer at the National Bank’s Credit Academy on Human Rights, Sustainable Development, Corporate Responsibility, and ESG criteria.

From 2015 to 2019, he was Treasurer of the Board of Directors of CSR HELLAS, representing the National Bank of Greece.
