MYTILINEOS GROUP
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2011 |5
The data and information presented in the Report
have been collected using the procedures and
scientific capture methods applied by each Group
company, as well as from the databases kept
in the respective corporate systems. The data
capture and the calculation of the indicators
referring to the performance of MYTILINEOS
Group and its subsidiaries are checked and
verified using the corporate SAP system, official
documents (e.g. financial statements), in-house
calculation systems available in the respective
departments of each individual Group company
(e.g. custom Excel worksheets created and
regularly updated for this specific task), and
internationally accepted calculation methods,
such as those provided under the OHSAS
18001 – ELOT 1801 Occupational Health &
Safety Management Systems and the ISO 14001
Environmental Management Standard. With regard
to social data, these cover the initiatives taken by
each company individually as well as the actions
carried out by MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A., which
represents the entire Group.
The present Report contains data obtained from
direct measurements, while –to help comparisons–
the corresponding data for 2009 and 2010 are
also given, where available.
Additionally, the Report sections concerning
carbon dioxide emissions and the performance in
Health & Safety, contain detailed descriptions of
the calculations used to obtain the values for the
indicators developed to address these subjects.
The procedure to determine the areas (materiality)
which are contained in the Report and pertain
to the challenges faced by the Group regarding
sustainable development, was based on the
following:
a) The expectations on the part of Stakeholders
in connection with CSR issues, after the
conclusion of the second cycle of dialogue
with Stakeholders, organised in 2011 by
ALUMINIUM S.A. and METKA S.A., the Group’s
two largest subsidiaries, and the first cycle
of dialogue with Stakeholders, organised in
2011 by PROTERGIA S.A. (expectations of
participants).
b) The principles and values of the Group and
its core commitments in the framework of
Corporate Social Responsibility.
c) The results of the working meetings of the
CSR Teams of the Group Companies and the
collaboration with the Heads of Departments in
the context of the data capture and evaluation
tasks. As part of their work on data capture and
evaluation regarding the information required
for the Report, the CSR Teams of the Group
Companies used as guidance the principles
of the GRI standard, in order to ensure the
maximum completeness, comparability,
accuracy, clarity and reliability of the Report’s
contents.
d) TheresultsoftheCorporateSocialResponsibility
Mapping project, which involved the assessment
of the importance of the issues pertaining
to responsible entrepreneurship, which are
renewed annually by the Group Companies and
form the basis of the Sustainability Report for
each year.
The establishment of the Report’s structure,
the guidance for the data capture and checking
activities, and the authoring and editing of the
Report texts were carried out with the scientific
support provided by an external associate from
MEDA Communication S.A. – Social Management,
Development and Communication Company.
The Report was checked by the Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI) organisation for compliance with the
Application Level B requirements, in accordance
with the self-declaration made by MYTILINEOS
Group.
The procedure for third-party checking and assess-
ment of the Sustainability Report (assurance)
by an external assurance provider has been
postponed, due to the need for the CSR Teams of
the Group Companies to become accustomed to
their duties and for the planning for this procedure
to be fully adopted across all Group Companies
(e.g. familiarisation with the special-purpose data
capture forms, systematic filing of data capture
forms and related material, collaboration with
the individual Sections of Group Companies for
obtaining the information required etc). The external
assurance procedure is scheduled to be applied
starting with the Sustainability Report 2013.
As already mentioned, the Group’s key objective
in publishing its Sustainability Reports is to
provide its Stakeholders with direct access to
information about its efforts, performance and
future commitments regarding its contribution to
sustainable development. To this end, we would
welcome your comments on our business activity
sectors as well as on the present Report.
