MYTILINEOS GROUP
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2011 |13
showing confidence in the abilities of its
employees and encouraging the development
of their skills, promotes individual, team and
corporate performance.
Our Commitment:
Recognising the value of the
contribution of our human capital, we believe
that by preserving labour peace, developing
performance reward and management systems,
ensuring internal communication and evaluating
individual performance, we are on the right course
for achieving the Group’s Vision and Strategic goals.
Occupational Health and Safety
Our policy for managing Occupational Health &
Safety in all workplaces and business activity
sectors is focusing on achieving a single target:
“Zero Accidents”.
Our Commitment:
To ensure all conditions required
to attain the above target, by adopting modern
methods, promoting constant alertness and
providing appropriate education and training to
employees of all levels involved in the production
process across all Group companies.
Environment
Our assumption of the responsibility for the
unavoidable impacts of our operations on
the natural environment, and the design and
application of systematic special measures
and principles for mitigating these impacts, are
key to all our efforts to date for sustainable
management of the environment.
Our Commitment:
To monitor and apply systema-
tically the Group’s Environmental Measures
and Principles across all Group companies and
to implement coordinated “green” actions or
programmes to protect the environment.
Local Communities
Focusing on people, MYTILINEOS Group seeks
to respond to key social issues and to provide
assistance in order to alleviate them.
Our Commitment:
To record local needs and
help address them, so that viable conditions for
sustainable development of the local communities
involved may be created, especially in areas where
our operations have a higher visibility.
Human Rights
Since the very first day of its operation, MYTILINEOS
Group has exhibited increased awareness and
responsibility regarding human rights issues.
In an era in which the violation of human rights
has become a major social problem, the Group
is explicitly committed and adheres fully to the
principles of the United Nations Global Compact.
Our Commitment:
To strive in a continuous and
concerted manner to establish procedures and
methods that will define our actions, so that our
commitments remain aligned with the principles
of the United Nations Global Compact regarding
equality in work, the protection of the rights of
people with a disability etc.
The sustainability of MYTILINEOS Group is linked
directly to its social and environmental footprint
and is founded on the principles of Sustainable
Development. In the difficult economic juncture
which the country is facing, the contribution
of MYTILINEOS Group as a corporate citizen is
commensurate with its size.
The Group contributes to the efforts to strengthen
the Greek economy, extends its support to Greek
society, and strives to ensure the protection of the
environment, of labour and the application of best
business practices in the market.
This is a multifaceted activity which in 2011 was
certified by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI),
the international CSR assessment organisation
which upgraded the Group’s Sustainability Report
2010 – now compiled in accordance with the
GRI-G3 Guidelines – to Level B.
During 2011, MYTILINEOS Group generated a
“social product” with a value of €287 million,
allocated to investments, employee benefits,
sponsorships, dividends and the payment of
taxes. In parallel, and in line with its commitment
to transparency, MYTILINEOS Group has been one
of the very few Greek businesses to hold annual
Open Dialogue Forums with its Stakeholders in the
local communities where the Group’s operations
are located.
More specifically, during 2011 Open Dialogue
Forums were organised (with high attendance
levels) by METKA S.A. and ALUMINIUM S.A., for
the second year in a row, with PROTERGIA S.A.
also joining this initiative for the first time.
The results of these events have been taken into
account in the identification of the CSR subjects
discussed in the present Sustainability Report.
The next step for the Group will be to participate
in the international ESG (Environment – Society
– Governance), Bloomberg & Carbon Disclosure
indicators that express the Group’s commitment
to Corporate Social Responsibility.
