Message from the Chairman, Mr. Evangelos G. Mytilineos (as quoted in the English-language Second Sustainability Report)
“I feel particularly proud that you are holding in your hands the Second Sustainability Report of MYTILINEOS Group.
The present report describes our efforts and achievements in 2008, within the frame of our commitment for sustainable development. To us, sustainable development means pursuing business excellence by being committed to our vision and with accountability towards society, the environment, our people and shareholders.
Being clearly oriented — for the first time this year — towards the GRI–G3 standard, we recorded and present hereby solid and measurable results, performances and actions, all being a testament of the way we approach and manage our commitments in all areas of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development.
Responsible development and continuous improvement of our performances remains a dedicated goal for us right through our long way, just like it has always been from the beginning of our activation in the business community, and our commitment is passed on to our subsidiaries that have been added and continue to multiply on our successful course to business enlargement.
In 2008, we kept pursuing our vision to become the largest independent energy producer in Greece and one the leading and competitive Groups of Heavy Industry in the fields of Energy, Metallurgy and EPC Constructions in Europe. Despite the fact that the last quarter was marked by the international economic downturn, our company’s growth continued at a solid pace, in line with our visionary approach.
The sustainability policy of our Group is based on the harmonious coexistence of our corporate activities with the needs of the communities in which we operate. To us, 2009 is a year of big challenges that require careful handling. The economic crisis, which is expected to continue and manifested among others in the crash in international commodity prices; the shrinking demand; the energy landscape within the country and the environmental challenges arising from climate change are but a few of the broader trends that may affect us.
Already, in 2008 we initiated and continue to do so, a series of actions to keep us alert in confronting effectively these challenges. In 2008, our Group made a series of successful business moves, which secured the necessary requirements in funding and synergies, not only for ensuring its best protection, but, mostly for continuing the realization of our growth business plan.”
