In line with the above, the Group:
In MYTILINEOS Group, our non-negotiable commitment to sustainable
development translates into decisions and actions that contribute
to the efforts to strengthen the Greek economy, support the Greek
society, protect the natural environment and promote best business
practices in the work environment.
The Group remains steadfast in its pledge to uphold the ethical rules
and the principles that guarantee its unbroken alliance with Society,
with its Employees and with the Environment, especially so in the
adverse economic juncture the country is facing, which makes the
contribution of businesses as social partners all the more imperative.

Participated for the fourth consecutive year in the annual ESG
Survey of the Bloomberg international financial data service,
which covers companies reporting on their performance in the
Environment, Society and Governance domains using suitable
criteria. In survey for 2014 the Group maintained its No 1
ranking among all Greek companies covered, and improved
substantially its global ranking, climbing up to No 5 from No 9
in survey for 2013.
Was one of the first 10 companies in Greece to sign in late
2014 the UN Global Compact’s “Call to Action”, an initiative to
combat corruption and foster good governance.
At the same time, in line with its commitment to transparency, the
Group invests in the social dialogue. The Group’s initiative to hold
annual consultations with its stakeholders, which now has evolved
into an established institution within the Group, is continuing without
pause and is governed by self-assessment and self-improvement
procedures. To this end, in 2014 a local Dialogue Forum was held
in METKA’s Volos plant for the fifth consecutive year, and the
e-consultation process was adopted for the first time in ALUMINIUM
OF GREECE and Protergia. Through this process, the Group
informed more than 260 of its Stakeholders about its initiatives and
performance on sustainability-related issues, and received more
than 40 proposals, interventions and suggestions from them, which
it logged and will draw upon, by incorporating the most interesting
ones in its business strategy.
