MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS - SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
2016
MYTILINEOS Group recognises that, at a time when adaptability and
creativity are the keys to competitiveness, promoting diversity in its
managerial, administrative and supervisory bodies is important. It
also recognises that a strategy of diversity at the workplace can offer
increased options for access to a wider range of solutions to issues
regarding business strategy, while also benefitting the employees
themselves and the wider community.
As diversity is considered to be the key elements for the development
of human resources, the Group continues its efforts for further
improvements in this area. Presently, even though most of the
Group’s activities are in the heavy industries sector, the participation
of women in theworkforce is being sought wherever possible, always
in accordance with the requirements and capacity of each activity
sector, so that women can make a substantial contribution. The
percentage of women in direct employment reaches
13.45%
, while
their participation in positions of extended responsibility rose by
11%
,
with a significant contribution to this result coming from the Energy
sector, where women are traditionally better represented in all job
categories.

MYTILINEOS Group continues to take initiatives of high social
value. The initiatives listed below are only some examples of the
range of our social contribution activities during 2016:
• Implementation for the second consecutive year of the
programme
“I’M IN”
to tackle the school dropout phenomenon,
in partnership with the Association «Together for Children».
This programme ensures the educational progress of students
until they complete the basic education, by developing a
strong social solidarity network against educational and social
exclusion, and also helps, in the long term, in the fight against
poverty and unemployment. For the current school year (2016-
2017), the programme is continued in an enhanced format, as
it now includes students in the 3rd year of lower high school
(Gymnasium). Last year, the programme resulted in significant
benefits for the participating students, with positive responses
standing at
67.7%
for alleviating food insecurity and
72.7%
for
improving their psychological and social well-being, and also
contributed crucially to the improvement of their performance
in school. The programme met its primary objective,
as all
students with a high dropout risk stayed in school for the
following year.
• With the implementation of the programmes
“YOUNG
GENERATION IN ACTION”
and
“ENGINEERS IN ACTION II”
, the
Group demonstrates demonstrating in practice, once again, its
determination to offer a way out to unemployed young people, by
offering 12 months of paid practical training and to open up new
career prospects for them, also providing them with an incentive
to stay in Greece. The
“ENGINEERS IN ACTION I”
programme,
carried out in the 2015-2016 period, has fully met its primary
objective, as
100% of its graduates found work in less than 3
months after completing the programme.

• Equally important was the participation of MYTILINEOS Group
in the Crowdfunding programme of the act4Greece initiative
for Society and the Economy, whose strategic partners include
prestigious bodies and institutions whose contribution is
widely recognised. In the context of this initiative and taking
also into consideration its own individual social contribution
goals regarding to alleviate the effects of poverty and to protect
children’s rights, donated the amount of €100,000 to the
“School
meals in Western Attica 2016-2017”
initiative, for the provision
of
40,000 nutritious warm meals
to primary school pupils,
covering nearly
17% of the initiative’s targeted amount.
• The added value created by our business activity in the Energy
Sector, through the development of Renewable Energy Source
(RES) projects by PROTERGIA, is reflected in the significant
benefits for the local communities, aswell as in our contribution
to the achievement of the national environmental goals. In
2016, the total investment in
sponsorships, donations and
infrastructure projects
in Municipalities where Renewable
Energy Source projects are in operation or will be developed
amounted to €474,000.
• Additionally, over
€230,000
was invested in initiatives
to meet
specific local needs
, such as: reconstructing the turf of a football
pitch in Aspra Spitia, providing financial support to the families
of the «Arogi» foundation of the Holy Metropolitan Church of
Thebes and Livadia, supporting Ngos, associations, charitable
institutions (children with disabilities, chronic diseases, etc).
8.3 Local Communities
G4-SO1
Support to the local communities in the areas where MYTILINEOS
Group operates is inextricably linked to the Group’s business
operation. This is a process that keeps evolving and taking
new forms, depending on local needs and circumstances. In all
cases, the Group is clearly committed to listening carefully to and
addressing the concerns of the local communities. In 2016, the
Group’s expenditure in support of this policy stood at more than
€1.4 million, up 28.2% from 2015.
