    Contents Message from the Chairman 02-03 Identity of MYTILINEOS Group 04-07 Annual Report Financial 2016 01 Message from the Chairman The world, as we knew it until today, has radically changed. Every day, the things we had been taking for granted are being overturned. The challenges we have to cope with keep increasing in complexity, evolving and changing, as the stable frameworks that had been in place for decades no longer apply. This was also evidenced by last year’s major political, social and economic developments, both in Greece and abroad, which changed the global landscape. In this new environment of a globalised economy, with political reversal following upon political reversal, our country is trying to find its balance and face the modern world’s challenges. To resolve pending issues and make changes where these needed to be made for years, so that it can enter a course of growth that will ultimately enable it to put in place the conditions for prosperity in the future. It is in this very same environment that MYTILINEOS Group has to operate. Faithful to the values and to the business strategy it has been following all these years, it continues tirelessly to create the conditions that will not only allow it to survive the economic crisis but will also strengthen its capabilities, establishing it as Greece’s new, major industrial player with international prospects. A model business that is driven by vision and is able to contribute its share (and more) to the effort to support the country's modernisation. A leading company which applies a unique and modern employment model, has an active social profile, adopts innovative investment and business growth mechanisms and enjoys international presence and recognition.

  • The Greek New Right and the Eve of Conservative Populism
    The Visio Journal ● Volume 4 ● 2019 The Greek New Right and the Eve of Conservative Populism By Athanasios Grammenos* The economic crisis in the Eurozone and its dire consequences for Greece terminated the post-1974 political consensus, which was based on a pro-European and democratic concord. The collapse of the social-democratic Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) in 2012 allowed space for the radical Left to become the new pole of the political system. To this advancement, the conservatives, being the other pole, responded with a prompt enlargement attempt to the populist right-wing, engulfing several elements of the New Right. This new political order had had evident effects on the party’s social and economic agenda, escalating the political debate at the expense of established liberal principles. While in opposition (2015-2019), New Democracy (ND), member of the European Peo- ple’s Party (EPP) in the European Parliament, voted against a series of liberal bills (gender issues, separation of Church and State, the Macedonian issue, etc.) giving out positions with authoritarian and populist essence. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the rise of the New Right in Greece (2012-2019) in both rhetoric and practice, and its consequences for law institutions, human rights and foreign affairs. It is argued that ND, currently holding office, has been occupied by deeply conservative elements as a response to the rise of the radical Left, adopting occasionally ultra-conservative positions in a wide range of social issues. Although the case of Greece is unlike to those in other European countries, nevertheless, to the extent to which the preservation of traditional hierarchies come into question, the political platform of the Greek New Right, which has embedded authoritarian attitudes cultivating an anti-liberal sub-culture to the party’s voters, is in accordance with several European conservative movements like in Hungary, Austria or Czechia.

  • Greece: Audio Visual Market Guide Page 1 of 4 Greece: Audio Visual Market Guide
    Greece: Audio Visual Market Guide Page 1 of 4 Greece: Audio Visual Market Guide Betty Alexandropoulou December 14 Overview The audio-visual (AV) market in Greece is showing signs of recovery after 4 years of double-digit decline for home audio and cinema spending. Retail sales have demonstrated signs of recovering, along with expected GDP growth in 2015. Demand for audiovisual equipment is covered by imports, mainly from European Union countries China, Korea, and Japan. The United States is a supplier of computers and peripherals.. Out of a population of 10.8 million people and 3.7 million households, there is an average of two television sets per household. Ninety-nine percent of these households have access to free broadcast TV, 19.5 percent have access to satellite and IP Pay TV, and 3 percent have satellite internet and pay TV bundled service. Market Trends The end of 2014 is expected to mark the completion of analogue broadcasting and a transfer to digital service. The switchover requires technological upgrades for media outlets, households, and businesses. Within this context, Digea was formed as a network operator providing a digital terrestrial television transmission in Greece for seven nationwide private TV channels (Alpha TV, Alter Channel, ANT1,Macedonia TV, Mega Channel, Skai TV, and Star Channel). In addition to these free nationwide broadcast stations, the network is open to other station broadcasts. With respect to pay-TV, fierce competition between the two main providers (Nova/Forthnet & OTE) resulted in record-high satellite and IP-TV subscriptions as well as the introduction of new channels and relevant content by the two rival platforms.

  • MYTILINEOS Is Grand Panhellenic Sponsor of the Educational Seminars of the Initiative “Protect Your Child from Cyber Crime”
    MYTILINEOS is Grand PanHellenic Sponsor of the educational seminars of the Initiative “Protect your Child from Cyber Crime” Global Sustainable Development Goal supported by the initiative. Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Initiatives Athens, Greece – 14 February 2018 – MYTILINEOS supports, as Grand PanHellenic Sponsor, the implementation of the educational seminars of the Initiative “Protect your Child from Cyber Crime”, scheduled to take place in 10 Greek cities between February and March 2018. The Initiative aims to function as a means of prevention, as well as a means of educating and informing parents, children and young people about the risks of cyber-crime and the ways to protect themselves from potential threats. Across the planet, millions of cases involving children who have fallen victim to cyber-crime, illustrate this new reality and demonstrate the urgent need to provide all the parties involved with information about the risks posed by the ever-increasing use of the Internet. Thus, for MYTILINEOS the impact of this particular initiative goes well beyond the boundaries of a typical sponsorship, making it part of the actions of a high social value which the Company has been implementing since 2016, seeking to contribute to the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (2030 Agenda) and, more specifically, of Goal 16, which promotes the termination of all forms of violence, abuse and exploitation involving children. Schoolchildren, parents and educators will have the opportunity to learn about the myths and the realities surrounding the issue of safe Internet use, as well as about related modern-day phenomena, addiction, high-risk behaviours, ways in which to deal with the challenges posed by the digital world, and other very interesting and useful topics.
