The leading European Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) rating agency, EcoVadis, awarded a silver medal to
MYTILINEOS as a reward for its business practices and its commitment to
sustainable development.
The EcoVadis rating system (CSR Rating) measures the quality of a company’s
Corporate Social Responsibility management system based on its policies,
practices and their outcomes. The assessment is made according to 21 criteria,
grouped into four thematic units: environment, labor practices and human rights,
good business practices and sustainable procurement. The criteria are based on
international CSR standards, such as the UN Global Compact principles, the
International Labor Organization (ILO) conditions, the Global Reporting Initiative
(GRI) standards, ISO 26000 and the CERES principles. EcoVadis covers 198
categories of suppliers in 155 countries, and it involves more than 150 experienced
Corporate Social Responsibility analysts. Since 2007, more than 55,000
companies and 300 industry leaders have joined the EcoVadis assessment
platform.
According to the assessment findings, MYTILINEOS is at the top 30% of all
companies assessed by EcoVadis. It has also attained noteworthy results per
thematic unit, since MYTILINEOS, thanks to its score, managed to rank among the
14% of top suppliers in “Labor Practices – Human Rights” and among the respective
22% of top suppliers in “Environment”.
MYTILINEOS’ commitment to Sustainable Development, as a vital element of its
business model, is reflected not only on this specific distinction, but also on the
company’s overall operation. In 2018, MYTILINEOS aimed at its further
improvement and undertook significant strategic actions, including, indicatively, the
following:
