MYTILINEOS with the aim of ensuring the viability of the communities in which it operates and the improvement of the living of the citizens, invests in collaborations in order to cover the needs related to local infrastructures and services with direct public benefit. One such initiative is the long-term partnership of the Metallurgy Sector with the Municipality of Livadea for the implementation of the Public Benefit Work program of the municipality, where the company in 2018 offered specific materials and financial resources worth € 100,000 for the implementation of selected projects (road construction projects, music renovation school, etc.) that aim to improve the services provided that have a daily and direct relationship with the service of citizens, the maintenance and upgrading of social infrastructure, the upgrading of the operation of municipal services, the improvement of the natural environment, but also the support of local market, while at the same time tackling the issue of unemployment by promoting the employment of our long-term unemployed fellow citizens.

The unemployed who participated in the program were engaged in the implementation of the aforementioned projects which were selected by the Municipality according to its needs and aimed at improving the services provided that had a daily and direct relationship with the service of citizens. In order to achieve the goal of facilitating the reintegration of the unemployed into the labor market, the program also included activation actions for the beneficiaries, such as counseling and training.

The innovation of the program is located in the promotion of the public benefit at local level, through the coupling of the productive capacities of the unemployed with the simultaneous coverage of strengthening of the local infrastructures.
