The particular characteristics and the
needs of the business activity sectors
of MYTILINEOS Group, especially in
production-related areas, are the fac-
tors that determine the indicators of
diversity which we use in connection
with the promotion of equal oppor-
tunities and the respect of the indi-
viduality of every employee. With the
outmost respect for the personality of
every individual, we monitor and col-
lect data on the gender, age and eth-
nic origin of our human resources, to-
gether with information on any cases
of disability, in the interests of prop-
er management and in order to pro-
vide assistance and support to those
who need it. In all cases, we adopt so-
cial practices characterised by the re-
spect for the individuality of employ-
ees, in all the geographical regions and
the countries where we operate and
we offer equal opportunities not on-
ly in terms of filling vacancies and of
salaries, but also regarding the edu-
cation, training and professional de-
velopment of employees. During 2012,
as shown in the tables below, we in-
creased the participation of women
and of employees aged from 30 to 50
in all employment position categories.
Furthermore, no incidents of discrim-
ination were reported in the plant fa-
cilities or administrative premises of the
Group companies.
