EXTERNAL ASSURANCE STATEMENT 152 12. FEEDBACK FORM 156 5 1. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO Three fundamental values guide PPC in everything it does: the Environment, Society and the Economy. We remain firmly focused on growing and developing Greece’s largest corporation, and as we successfully adjust to the new environment, the focus of what we do remains unchanged: to serve society as a whole. Because we can and must do our very best for society. We need to be passionate about even the smallest tasks, as if overcoming the crisis and Greece’s development We are proud depended on it. We are fully aware that the work each of us does will help create new jobs, thereby combating to have exemplified the scourge of unemployment. We refuse to rest on our laurels or pat ourselves on the back; we our guiding declare that over the past year we are proud to have exemplified PPC’s values guiding values, yet at the same time we want it to be clearly understood that we still have much to do ... ...when it comes to the Environment: We withdrew old, polluting plants from service, building new thermal and hydroelectric plants which integrate cutting- edge, environmentally-friendly technologies in line with Best Available Techniques. We have continued our expansion 6 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016 into the renewable energy sources sector at a rapid pace. In December 2016 PPC Renewables S.A. announced it was partnering with the European Investment Bank (EIB) in a project worth € 85 million covering the fields of wind and hydroelectric power. We rehabilitated 4,000 ha of land at the Western Macedonia Lignite Centre and 700 ha at the Megalopolis Lignite Centre. We met the needs of large corporations which are our customers engaged in environmental activities, having provided 1.2 million Guarantees of Origin for RES up to 2017. ... when it comes to Society: We’ve offered more than € 850 thousand in sponsorship and donations, supporting local communities organise cultural and sporting events. We offered free electricity to 85,000 customers under Law 4320/2015. We continue to run the district heating schemes in Kozani, Ptolemaida, Amynteo and Megalopolis. 2.1 million GJ of power were used as part of those schemes. District heating schemes offer a model for sustainable development. They help reduce air pollution because hydrocarbons and wood are not burned to generate heat, and also drastically reduce heating costs for local communities. At the same time, given that Greek society continues to endure financial constraints, we have listened to what our customers need, and have adopted measures to assist them. These include: - around 620,000 repayment plans - inclusion of 660,000 new customers in the Social Residential Tariff - innovative loyalty schemes by Greek standards, rewarding household and business customers who pay regularly by offering them major financial savings. We also listened when it came to better services provided via modern customer service channels. For example: - We handled 2,993,000 calls via the 11770 call centre. - We collaborate with 6,000 partners who offer bill payment services. 7 1. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO - 730,000 bills are now paid by card. - 730,000 customers are now registered for the e-bill service. - 93,300 customers use our mobile app. ... when it comes to the Economy: We’ve invested close on € 870 million across all sectors we operate in. In strategic terms, to meet the challenges we face we have successfully implemented a series of actions: We arranged and carried through the sale of 24% of Independent Power Transmission operator S.A. (IPTO) to a strategic investor in record time, making a decisive contribution to ensuring that control remained with the state. Despite the liquidity squeeze faced by Greek banks, we secured € 65 million from the National Bank of Greece and € 80 million from the European Investment Bank. We set up an office in Brussels as part of our partnership with major Chinese firms and also founded a branch in Tirana; both proof positive of the Corporation’s outward focus and its expansion into new markets. Given that none of this is possible without an ever expanding staff base, we have also developed a new staff evaluation system to improve our administrative operations, and, above all, to change our corporate culture as we become a competitive, outward looking, customer-centred business. Since the transformation of the company will be completed during 2017, our priorities are to: Prepare and start implementing a comprehensive Strategic Plan. Work on the plan is currently under way. Improve our administrative operations in all sectors. Improve HRM to allow our staff to grow and develop, and us to utilise them to their full potential. 8 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016 Improve customer relations through targeted actions, business initiatives and products based on a comprehensive marketing plan. Add to our staff through targeted recruitment drives so that all current needs are met, to ensure PPC is synonymous with modern skills and technology, and to create the conditions for existing precious know- how and skills to be transferred by company staff to a new generation of employees. Undertake major projects and business initiatives abroad in partnership with companies from Greece and abroad. In taking these steps our goal is a Corporation with a smaller market share but a continuing dominant role in Greece’s electricity market, but also a larger, more robust company with a diverse range of operations and products, as it expands into new markets. We continue to strive for Our focus this by promoting our three core Corporate Social Responsibility goals of Environment - Society - Economy which have been central to the remains corporation for many years now. This is an endeavour we will continue and unchanged: intensify in 2017. to serve society as a whole 9 2.

  • Comparing Flood Mortality in Portugal and Greece

Pereiraa, , M. Diakakisb, G. Deligiannakisc, J.L. Zêzerea a Centre for Geographical Studies, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, Universidade de Lisboa, 1600-276 Lisboa, Portugal b Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment, School of Sciences, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece c Mineralogy – Geology Laboratory, Department of Natural Resources Management and Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural University of Athens, 11855 Athens, Greece ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: For the first time flood mortality is analysed and compared between a Western (Portugal) and an Eastern Flood mortality Mediterranean country (Greece). Flood fatalities are examined and compared in terms of frequency, temporal Individual risk evolution, spatial distribution, deadliest flood types, gender of the victims, circumstances surrounding fatalities, Societal risk and individual and societal risk. Portugal A common flood fatalities database was formed for the period 1960–2010 by merging the DISASTER database Greece for Portugal and the Greek database Individual flood cases generated more deaths in Greece than in Portugal (excluding an outlier flash flood event in the latter). Despite some fluctuations evidence of a gradual decrease in fatality numbers were recorded for both countries. Since the 1980's the number of flood cases with multiple fatalities has been gradually declining, due to changes in qualitative characteristics of mortality. Flood fatalities predominantly occur during autumn in Greece and during winter in Portugal.

  • The Pre-Alpine Evolution of the Basement of the Pelagonian Zone and the Vardar Zone, Greece
    The Pre-Alpine Evolution of the Basement of the Pelagonian Zone and the Vardar Zone, Greece Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades „Doktor der Naturwissenschaften“ am Fachbereich Chemie, Pharmazie und Geowissenschaften der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz Birte Anders Mainz, Juni 2005 Erklärung: Hiermit versichere ich, die vorliegende Arbeit selbstständig und nur unter Verwendung der angegebene Quellen und Hilfsmittel verfasst zu haben. Mainz, Juni 2005 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 27.07.2005 Summary iii Summary The Hellenides in Greece constitute an integral part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain chain. They are traditionally divided into several subparallel, c. NNW-SSE trending tectono-stratigraphic zones. These zones are grouped into two large units, namely the External Hellenides (Hellenide foreland) in the west and the Internal Hellenides (Hellenide hinterland) in the east. The External Hellenides comprise the Paxon, Ionian and Gavrovo-Tripolis Zones, which are dominated by Mesozoic and Cainozoic cover rocks. The Pelagonian Zone, the Attico-Cycladic Massif, the Vardar Zone, the Serbo-Macedonian Massif and the Rhodope Massif (from west to east) form the Internal Hellenides. They are characterised by abundant occurrences of crystalline basement. The Pelagonian Zone and the Vardar Zone in Greece represent the western part of the Internal Hellenides. While the Pelagonian Zone comprises predominantly crystalline basement and sedimentary cover rocks, the Vardar Zone has long been regarded as an ophiolite-decorated suture zone separating the Pelagonian Zone from the Serbo-Macedonian Massif to the east. In order to identify the major crust-forming episodes and to improve the understanding of the evolutionary history of this region, felsic basement rocks from both the Pelagonian Zone and the Vardar Zone were dated, with the main focus being on the Pelagonian Zone.
