Waste disposal
The waste produced by the Company is predominantly office waste, comprising small dry cell batteries, paper, ink (toner cartridges), electrical and electronic
equipment and urban waste. The Company has in place mechanisms for the measurement and disposal of the quantities of batteries and paper, and plans to
gradually expand these mechanisms to also include its other types of waste.
Waste is recycled by licensed companies according to type as follows:
- Batteries (POLYECO S.A.)
- Paper (SOLID WASTE RECYCLING SPYRIDON AP. TSILOGLOU)
Society
The broader social contribution of MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A. takes place through a number of initiatives and actions aligned with the new priorities set by the
Company in 2011. These new priorities focus on supporting Arts and Culture as a factor that strengthens social cohesion, and on selected actions involving
support to entrepreneurship and assistance to the work of voluntary organisations and NGOs, with emphasis on the protection of child age. The table below
shows the detailed breakdown of the amount of €388,320, which the Company allocated for these purposes during 2011.
