MYTILINEOS’ Corporate Social
Responsibility and Sustainable Development initiatives continue earning
distinctions for their high value and substantial return to society. In particular, at
the BRAVO Sustainability Dialogue & Awards 2018, MYTILINEOS was
granted two new awards for yet another year.
The BRAVO initiative, organized over the last 9 years by QualityNet Foundation,
conducts an annual social dialogue on Sustainable Development, based on the
initiatives taken by Business, Local Government and the Civil Society. All
organizations taking part in BRAVO are the “Sustainable Development
Ambassadors”; they advocate the philosophy of a sustainable future, contributing,
through their initiatives to creating the Greece of Tomorrow.
MYTILINEOS submitted its selected CSR initiatives that were implemented within
2018. The evaluation groups, the Stakeholders Engagement Group, the Experts’
Focus Groups and the Active Citizens’ Group honored and awarded the
following:
In the BRAVO SOCIETY pillar, in relation to the development of Health &
Safety programs, MYTILINEOS earned an award for the “Mobile Emergency
Response Unit in Metallurgy Sector”. The Metallurgy Business Unit of
MYTILINEOS – Aluminium of Greece has developed an integrated system for
addressing emergencies (e.g. accidents, fires, entrapment, interventions in
confined spaces, etc.) at the companies’ facilities in Ag. Nikolaos, Viotia. For
that purpose, a Protection Service has been established for many years now,
consisting of 18 exclusively designated employees. The staff is perfectly
trained in matters of fire safety and security of facilities, while that team is
actively supported by approximately 100 volunteer fire-fighters from the other
plant services, who are properly trained and regularly re-trained.
In the BRAVO GOVERNANCE pillar, in relation to practices promoting
transparency and accountability, ΜYTILINEOS received an award for the
informational microsite “Integrated Value Creation SCORECARD 2017”;
This microsite was developed to meet the need for more comprehensive information,
combining financial and non-financial matters, to enable a thorough outlook on how
the company creates value for its shareholders, its other groups of Social Partners
and society in general, in its effort to fulfill its mission and vision.
Both those actions stood out for their high level of expertise and return to society
among the 100 candidacies from the business community that were granted the
highest scores through the Dialogue process of the initiative, with the participation of
9,250 Active Citizens and 130 Social Partners participating in the Evaluation
Committees.
The awards ceremony was held at the Athens Concert Hall on December 11, 2018.
