Overview & key issues raised in the Consultations of the Group Companies
with their key Stakeholder groups.
(The Dialogue Forum was organised on 11 December 2012 at the company's plant in
Aspra Spitia, Viotia).
The Dialogue Forum 2012 was the company’s best effort to-date in its interaction with its Stake-
holders. The event was marked by interesting views and constant dialogue with the participants
on almost all the issues raised. Emphasis was placed on the “MELLON” programme, designed to
boost the company’s sustainability, thus communicating this difficult situation to its Stakehold-
er groups.
(The Dialogue Forum was organised on 12 December 2012 at the company’s plant in
Volos).
The response to the Forum was very positive, serving as recognition of the efforts that the com-
pany and the Group made in order to hold this year's Forum locally. The views presented were very
effective in terms of the issues raised, while and the comments made by the participants focused
primarily on issues relating to the company’s business growth.
(The Dialogue Forum was held on 26 November 2012 at the company's headquarters
in Athens).
The Company’s presentation of its key CSR activities and of the CSR policies and actions it has
adopted led to a particularly constructive dialogue with its Stakeholders. The Forum covered is-
sues such as labour practices, the environment, management systems, health & safety, compli-
ance with the laws and relations with local communities, thus providing participants with a com-
plete picture of the company's activities.
Key issues raised & expectations by Stakeholder group
Concerns were expressed by the Municipality of Kyria-
ki about the impact of Bauxite residues on the envi-
ronment. The Company was asked to supply quantified
information to certify the extent of this impact and to
disclose information on the respective protection meas-
ures.
The matter of adhering to the ratio for recruitment of
employees from the local communities was raised – a
request was made for the recruitment of more em-
ployees from the Municipality of Kyriaki.
The wish was expressed for a shift in the company’s so-
cial policy to the immediate problems of the local com-
munities, with participation from all Municipalities. The
reduction of the amount allocated by the company in
2012 for its social policy compared to previous years was
discussed.
Emphasis was given to the need for industrial compa-
nies of the size of MYTILINEOS Group to remain in
Greece. This particular Stakeholder group expressed its
concerns in connection with the risks to social cohesion
from the exploding unemployment and the company
was asked to provide help for dealing with the problem,
by increasing its social product. The Regional Adminis-
tration stressed that it supports all company's activities
to provide assistance and relief to vulnerable social
groups.
