Μessage from the Chairman As one of the largest and strongest corporate Groups in the Greek market, OTE has consistently for the last years undertaken its corresponding role to support Greek society. Under the current economic conditions and the challenging business environment in countries the Group op- erates, OTE shows endurance and vision. OTE continues its efforts not only to defend its own market position, but at the same time to leave a positive “societal footprint” in the business environments it operates in. Panagis Vourloumis Chairman of the COSMOTE Board of Directors Messages 5 B. Message from the CEO Dear friends, This decade’s conditions require an essential contribution of all healthy corporations in confronting real needs and chal- lenges of our economy, society and environment. COSMOTE's corporate strategy, programs and activities towards this direction constitute our long term commitment. It is our unbreakable promise to grow responsibly, but also to respond to our citizens’ trust in a factual, measurable and effective way. This commitment is common among employees within all four COSMOTE companies in S.E. Europe. The 2009 CR Report is aer all a result of their collaboration and inspiration. As you will notice, our approach is holistic and dynamic, taking into consideration particularities of our challenging times and utilizing a continuous and fertile dialogue with our Stakeholders and millions of citizens, which entrust us with their communication. Our fundamental objective is for our corporate growth not to have a negative impact on the Environment, with manage- ment of required energy for our operations being a priority for the entire Group. We review international and domestic studies and evaluate options, in order to contribute substantially through “green” telecommunication technology, to the challenge of climatic change. Through extensive briefings, responsible practices, products and services we also seek to make our customers more aware of this issue, in order to function as responsible citizens. We seek to offer services which improve the communication and therefore quality of life for everybody, especially for sensitive social groups. To the digital divide challenge, we reply by upgrading and expanding our telecommunications network and at the same time develop suitable products and services, in order for information to become more accessible for all fellow-citizens, through digital technology. Our efforts create tangible results and this is evident by numerous measurable indicators we use in order to evaluate our work. This is also apparent in perception surveys we realise, inside and outside our company, as well as through positive external testimonials and important awards we receive from third party institutions. However, we cannot rest. In the commencing period COSMOTE will contribute in the effort for recovery, to the extend which corresponds to its size, through its dynamism, experience, organisation, but most of all through its people. This is anyway the true meaning of our corporate message: “Our world, You.” I wish you all the best. Michael Tsamaz COSMOTE Chief Executive Officer Corporate Responsibility Report 2009 6 C. About our Report CΟSMOTE’s present Corporate Responsibility Report, is the 5th report our company issues. Its content reflects the overall perception our company has, about the essence of Corporate Responsibility (CR) and the programmes we implement, in order to support the world’s sustainable development and our company’s responsible operation. Report Principles To facilitate the evaluation of its content, our Report follows the basic principles, guidelines and directives “Sustainability Reporting Guidelines” (publication G3, 2006) of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), while the following have also been used: for the principles of the Report, the UN’s Global Compact for the content of the Report, the AA1000-Assurance Standard of AccountAbility for the presentation of Report data, the EFQM’s RADAR Card.
