MYTILINEOS, in an ever-changing business environment and with the corporate responsibility that distinguishes it, responds to the demands of its social partners. The goal of the company is to expand its partnerships at all levels, in order to have a shift from the traditional model of economic development to a model of sustainable development in a socially and environmentally responsible way. The administrative approach of the company is moving in this direction, aiming at the development of a holistic system of viability which, apart from the company itself, envisages the expansion of the approach to the supply chain, ie to the key partners and suppliers. MYTILINEOS expects, through the educational initiative, the production of a multiple positive imprint, which extends beyond the limits of the company's activity, by strengthening the level of maturity of the supply chain, at the highest possible hierarchical level of representation, regarding the distribution of issues related to CSR and Sustainable Development, adopting the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact.

The Principles relate to key areas of corporate responsibility, such as human rights, working conditions, environmental protection and the fight against corruption, which are becoming more relevant than ever, due to the impact on business and economic activity in a pandemic .

For the implementation of the workshops, MYTILINEOS collaborated with CSR HELLAS in order for the participating companies to understand what each issue means for the companies, why they should be interested, but mainly what they can do with the aim of their self-improvement.

The first cycle of the sustainability training initiative was successfully completed, focusing on the issue of sustainability, since the participating companies, at a high level of representation, had the opportunity to be informed about the initiatives developed by MYTILINEOS, in the context of sustainable development management, including the responsible management of the supply chain. The 40 trainee suppliers were able to understand the multifaceted challenges facing our world today in terms of sustainability and which as a whole affect businesses, with an impact on their sustainability. At the same time, they were informed about the initiatives of the European Commission, in order for Europe to become the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050, but also to contribute decisively to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
