MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS - SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
2016
7.1.2 Energy
The total energy consumption at the Group’s industrial plants,
in 2016, stood at 49,323.05 TJ. This quantity was obtained only
from non-renewable sources and compared to 2015, shown an
increase of 37.2% mainly due to the increased participation of the
thermal power plants of PROTERGIA in the wholesale electricity
market. The electricity consumption was virtually unchanged,
while the consumption of energy from fuels (mainly natural gas)
rose by 54%.
Contrary to the increase in the total energy consumption, most
specific consumption figures for each product produced were
lower than in the previous year, as shown in the following
table of energy intensity figures. These improvements are
the result of the controls carried out regarding work quality,
improvements in equipment and methods, the optimisation of
parameters and the sensitisation of the personnel involved,
through custom-developed action plans.
In addition, given the activity of the Group’s power plants, it
is not possible to save primary energy in any way, other than
utilising it in the most effective way possible, via best methods
available. Therefore, the goal is to maintain the productivity
of the Group thermal power plants within the high-efficiency
end of the output curve and to ensure maximum reliability and
availability regarding their operation throughout the year.

7.2 Environmental management
MYTILINEOS Group driven by its key concern to stabilise and
minimise the impacts of its activity on the natural environment,
implements environmental protection and industrial hazard
control policies that form the basis for a comprehensive and
effective Environmental Management system. Furthermore, this
management system is incorporated in all Groups’ activity sectors
as well as in the procedures that define its day-to-day operation. To
this end, in the entire Group’s business activity, specific practices
and methods are applied such as the collection and reporting of
information, the assessment of the environmental impact and the
setting of targets towards continuous improvement.
7.2.1 Environmental compliance
G4-EN14
Compliance with environmental legislation is a core priority of
MYTILINEOS Group and a major issue of equal importance with
issues, among others, such as personnel health & safety, quality,
economic performance and customer satisfaction, which the
Group is managing in the context of its continuous and responsible
development.
This view, which is the basic element of the Group’s environmental
policy, is based, first and foremost, on the principle of adherence to
the provisions of the law, as well as to the agreements concluded
and the voluntary commitments made by its business activity
sectors. This approach improves the environmental footprint
of the Group’s industrial activities, reduces the risk of the Group
incurring significant unforeseen expenses and becoming the
object of sanctions for non-compliance with environmental
regulations and restrictions, and simplifies the steps involved in
managing the confidence of its key Stakeholders and especially
of its clients, while in parallel strengthening its “social licence to
operate”.
G4-14
Environmental management system
All Group’s subsidiaries apply, certified ISO
14001, Environmental Management System
that is designed to minimize environmental
risks, adapt measures for preventing and
minimizing environmental accidents, training
employees and enhance environmental
culture.
Group policy on responsible management of energy:
responsiblemanagement-of-energy
To this end, the strict adherence to the applicable laws and to
the provisions of the regulatory framework, the implementation
of a regular environmental legislation review process and the
application of the environmental rules and regulations pertaining
to the Group’s activities, have resulted in the absence of any
incidents involving a deteriorating in the quality of the environment
during 2016.
G4-EN29
Additionally, in 2017, all Group activity sectors
will be gradually adjusted to the requirements of the new
ISO
14001:2015
standard with the formation and the establishment of
relevant action plans.
