From day one, MYTILINEOS
displayed a tangible expression of solidarity towards those affected by the
disastrous fires of July 2018 and immediately put itself at the disposal of
competent authorities, in order to assist, by all available means, the
Municipalities of Marathonas and Rafina – Pikermi by collecting essential
supplies and by organizing emergency blood donations.
Consequently, the Chairman raised before the Board of Directors the question
of emergency aid to affected individuals; the Board decided on 30/7/2018 to
allocate the amount of EUR 1,000,000 for treatment and prevention of similar
disasters.
Following consultation with the Municipal Authorities, residents’ committees
and the Fire Brigade, the company has undertaken the following actions for
the disposal of the amount of EUR 1,000,000:
In particular:
- EUR 600,000 shall be allocated to improve the energy efficiency of the high school complex and the adjoining gym of the Municipal Community of Rafina – Pikermi Municipality, accommodating the schooling needs of 600 children and the sports activities of 1,000 children from the fireaffected areas of the Municipality and neighboring municipalities.
- EUR 300,000 shall be allocated for the donation of 6 fire trucks to the Fire Brigade Headquarters, thus contributing effectively to its operational readiness.
