Corporate Values
The above principles and values are fully aligned
with the international standards and regulations

its activities, such as: The UN Global Compact, the
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines, and
the ISO 9001, OHSAS 18000 and ISO 14001
standards.
Acknowledging that corporate responsibility and
the progress towards Sustainable Development
are a collective responsibility that requires the
convergence and collaboration of all actors
involved (State, businesses and the civil
society), MYTILINEOS Group considers that
taking responsible entrepreneurship initiatives
concerning the economy, the environment and
society is most significant.
To this end, the Group collaborates with, accepts
or supports voluntary initiatives such as:
1) The UN Global Compact, which the Group has
joined and co-signed since 2008.
2) The Global Reporting Initiative, whose report-
ing guidelines on the compilation of its
Sustainability Reports it has adopted and has
been applying since 2008.
3) The Hellenic Network for Corporate Social
Responsibility, in whose working groups and
initiatives, aimed at promoting Corporate
Social Responsibility, the Group participates
since 2006.
4) The Hellenic Federation of Enterprises
(SEV), in whose “Council for Sustainable
Development” the Group has participated
and whose Code of Principles it adopts.
