Through this cooperation, both partners will work to promote this innovative fuel supplement, in order to aid companies and both public and private institutions that seek to reduce their impact on the environment and combat climate change by reducing their carbon footprint.
On 20 May 2021 MYTILINEOS S.A. through its Renewables and Storage Development (RSD) Business Unit and Maire Tecnimont S.p.A. subsidiary NextChem have signed an agreement today to develop engineering activities for the implementation of a green hydrogen plant via electrolysis in Italy. MYTILINEOS, through its RSD Business Unit, is a market leader in the development, construction, and operation of utility-scale solar and hybrid power projects with a proven track record of over 1 GW of medium to large scale solar projects worldwide and battery storage installations. NextChem is Maire Tecnimont’s subsidiary operating in the field of green chemistry and technologies for the Energy Transition. Under the agreement, the RSD Business Unit will leverage NextChem’s and Maire Tecnimont Group’s know-how and engineering expertise in hydrogen technologies to grow in the hydrogen business. The project, which will convert renewable energy from one of MYTILINEOS’ solar plants into green hydrogen, to be followed by other plants as well, aims to provide local off-takers with a carbon neutral energy carrier alternative that could allow for effective decarbonization, including in hard-to-abate industrial sectors. We aim to expand this Business Model in all the countries where we are currently developing RES.
On 27 May 2021 a 14% of the Greek population (20-64 years old) are people with a disability; however, we rarely come across them at work, education, and social life. But even more alarming is that 60% of young people with disabilities in Greece, aged 25-29 years, are unemployed, recording one of the highest negative rates in Europe. A significant part of human capital remains inactive and untapped, causing harm to everyone, both individually, socially, and economically. MYTILINEOS, in cooperation with the Social Enterprise knowl, has designed an innovative 6-month program, the "mellonabilities", aimed at providing personalized development of professional skills to people with disabilities (suffering from mobility, visual and auditory impairment), at zero cost for the benefited individuals. However, disability does not mean lack of ability. Modern training models and new technologies can and do allow people with disabilities to acquire specialized skills by achieving a balanced connection of their professional profile with their desired job. The aim is the targeted preparation of disabled participants for successful labor market inclusion, given additional qualifications and understand those conditions that facilitate access and inclusion into the labor market, fostering a culture (candidates, employers, HR/Training/Advisory organizations) that would help develop a sustainable employability model.
MYTILINEOS initiative joins the effort of supporting the Global Sustainable Development Goals for Zero Poverty (1), Decent work & Economic Growth (8) and Reduction of Inequality (10) by 2030. MYTILINEOS, acknowledging that boosting of employment is a key pillar of its social policy, focuses its efforts on the preparation of quality and sustainable jobs. At the same time, the #Homellon program continues for the second year.

Increased disclosures in accordance with sector recommendations will help global markets make more efficient capital allocation decisions and adjust appropriately to the disruptive effects of global climate change. Implementing the TCFD recommendations provides MYTILINEOS with: • Easier and better access to capital by increasing investors’ and lenders’ confidence and ensuring that climate-related risks are appropriately assessed and managed,
- Better ability to meet existing disclosure requirements by reporting material information in financial filings,
- Increased awareness and understanding of climate-related risks and opportunities, resulting in better risk management and more informed strategic planning, and
- The ability to proactively address investors’ demand for climate-related information in a framework that investors are increasingly interested in and asking for. Supporters of the TCFD span the public and private sectors, including national governments, central banks, stock exchanges, credit rating agencies, financial institutions and private sector businesses from a variety of industries.

Mytilineos stated: "Today we are signing our last contract with PPC. A collaboration that sealed the recent industrial history of Greece, is completed in the most appropriate way for both PPC and MYTILINEOS. For us, after 2023, a new era begins for the historic factory of "Aluminum of Greece": a green and sustainable era, spearheading with national climate goals and the European Green Deal ". The duration of the contract was set for the period 1/7/2021 — 31/12/23.
On 9 August 2021 the unprecedented wildfires that have been raging in Greece since the beginning of August and are causing an enormous damage, require, among other things, the immediate use of as many firefighting equipment and related equipment as possible, in order to stop their catastrophic spread. From the first moment that the magnitude of the disaster became apparent, MYTILINEOS decided immediately to help in the most appropriate way. In collaboration with the Government and the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, the Company aimed to offer firefighting helicopters, which were most needed by the Fire Department. After huge efforts, the most suitable for the occasion and of higher quality BELL 214 BI helicopters of the American company Erickson Inc were located in Australia, fully equipped with flying and supporting staff consisting of more than 20 pilots, engineers and translators. These helicopters, after being approved at operational level by the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, are handed over to the State of Greece, in order to contribute to the extinguish of the active fire fronts in the country. These helicopters (4 in number) are on their way to our country and will remain for 60 days from the date of their arrival, in order to avoid the risk of resurgence or new wildfires, while the cost of the helicopters (€ 3.3 million) is fully undertaken by MYTILINEOS. Experts will adjudicate whether the wildfires that engulfed the country were the result of long-term deficiencies and state problems, or an additional proof of the catastrophic effects of climate change. MYTILINEOS is the first Greek company and one of the first industries in Europe and worldwide, that set clear targets to minimize its carbon footprint, while its entire strategy is governed by the principles of sustainable development. Our commitments are being matched by deeds and every time our homeland calls us, we try to be useful, in a crucial and effective way. We also pledge to assist in any effort of rebuilding the burned areas and of reforestation of the woods. Together we will succeed! We express our deepest respect and gratitude to the firefighters, the security forces, the volunteers and all those who exceeded themselves to reduce the great disaster in the country.
On 6 September 2021 MYTILINEOS S.A.

On 29 September 2021 MYTILINEOS (RIC: MYTr.AT, Bloomberg: MYTIL.GA, ADR: MYTHY US) through its Metallurgy Business Unit, participates as coordinator in the SCALE project of the European Union. As part of the sustainable development strategy, MYTILINEOS has set waste management as priority, by participating in innovative research programs with the aim of zeroing and ultimately transforming waste into a source of useful raw materials. The SCALE project of Horizon 2020 of the European Union is such a program aimed at extracting rare earth elements, and in particular compounds of scandium and aluminium — scandium alloys from European metallurgical residues, such as bauxite residues. The program involves the National Technical University and a total of 17 partners from 8 European countries (companies such as II-VI, KBM Affilips and Less Common Metals, the Universities of Aachen, Stockholm and Basel, and others). Scandium is one of the Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and is on the list of critical raw materials in the European Union. The Greek bauxite processed by MYTILINEOS is proportionally ‘rich’ in scandium, producing correspondingly bauxite residues rich in scandium. It is also noted that the supply of Rare Earth sources is the first priority of the newly established European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA), that MYTILINEOS also participates in. The pilot plant for extracting scandium under the SCALE project started its operation a year ago at the ‘Aluminium of Greece’ plant in the Metallurgy Business Unit. With the innovative method used, the concentration of scandium from bauxite residues is increased by 2.500 times. At the same time, MYTILINEOS, through its Metallurgy Business Unit, is also participating in the ReActiv program, co-ordinated by LafargeHolcim, specializing in building solutions, in collaboration with 20 partners in 12 European countries, including companies such as ALCOA, HYDRO, Rio Tinto and international academic institutions, for the recycling of bauxite residues. Through ReActiv, bauxite residues are treated in such a way that they can be converted into an active ingredient for cement production with low environmental footprint. MYTILINEOS’ Metallurgy Business Unit is participating in 23 research programs, funded by the European Union through Horizon2020, ΕΙΤ Raw Materials, ΕRAMIN-2 and the NSRF, researching inter alia:
- the recovery of bauxite residues for the production of scandium, iron, alumina, cement additives and construction products.
- the production of alumina from alternative (secondary) sources.
- heat recovery — use of R.E.S in alumina production.
- new training tools and
- new aluminum recycling technologies
The total funding for these 23 programs exceeds EUR 95 million, of which EUR 6.9 million is earmarked for MYTILINEOS’ Metallurgy Business Unit financing. By participating in these initiatives, MYTILINEOS demonstrates its commitment to a sustainable and competitive industry, in line with European requirements and the European Green Agreement for zero emissions and economic growth decoupled from resources’ use. The Company will continue to invest in environmentally friendly technologies and support innovation in the industrial sector.

On 18 November 2021 MYTILINEOS S.A. has reached financial close on the nonrecourse financing of the Corowa, Junee, and Wagga Solar Farms in New South Wales in Australia, with lenders ANZ, Societe Generale and Westpac. This 120 MWp portfolio (40 MWp each project) was acquired in 2019 as part of MYTILINEOS’ strategic entry to the Australian market, one of the most demanding and competitive markets in the world, where access to "clean" energy is still in demand for many large companies. These solar parks will produce 220 GWh annually, to power Australia's electricity system, reducing 180,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
The majority of the power produced and of the Large-Scale Generated Certificates (LGCs) from the three projects are sold under a 10 year "Green" Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Coles, a major Australian food and grocery retailer with more than 2,400 stores nationwide. Despite the adversities and difficulties imposed by the covid-19 pandemic, project construction was successfully executed by MYTILINEOS’ Renewables & Storage Development (RSD) Business Unit and was completed in the first half of 2021, proving the company's ability to carry out demanding projects. The financing is structured in such a way that allows money to be drawn for each project at its respective Commercial Operation Date (COD) and comprises a AUD95m term loan for the project and AUD9m for ancillary facilities. This is MYTILINEOS’ first project financing in Australia, and the first project financing of solar PV projects by the MYTILINEOS’ RSD Business Unit.
On 22 November 2021 MYTILINEOS, as part of its strategic commitment to tackling climate change with its ambitious CO2 emissions reduction targets set at the beginning of the year, is taking on renewed action with its commitment to the global Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi mobilizes companies to set science-based targets and boost their competitive advantage in the transition to a low-carbon economy. It is a partnership between CDP, United Nations Global Compact, World resources Institute (WRI) and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) and provides independent assurance and validation of corporate targets based on current and valid climate data. The objectives of the SBT initiative enable companies to understand to which extent and how quickly they need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to prevent the most adverse impacts of climate change. In this way, companies can set a clear path towards decarbonization, contributing to tackling global warming and taking advantage of the relevant opportunities. MYTILINEOS is one of the first Greek industrial companies to commit to the SBT initiative. By joining the SBTi the Company focuses on confirming that its climate mitigation targets initiatives are aligned with the latest available scientific data and forecasts on climate change as well as the relevant European and national strategy. Already, more than 2,000 companies worldwide from all business sectors are committed to the SBT initiative, such as Iberdrola SA, Enel SpA, Lightsource bp, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, S.A., ENGIE and FLUXYS, but also AstraZeneca, Shiseido and Wendy’s. MYTILINEOS aspires to deliver on its CO2 reduction targets by implementing a major portfolio of Renewable Energy Sources projects in Greece and internationally, by sourcing electricity in the Metallurgy Business Unit exclusively from renewable sources, by developing low-emissions products such as recycled aluminum, by significantly increasing the use of aluminum scrap, by using RESderived electricity in aluminum production, by using battery energy storage in construction sites, by using electric vehicles and by replacing gas-fired office heating installations with electric heat pumps. In addition, MYTILINEOS will continue to invest in the application of cutting-edge technologies and in the use of digital industrial processes in the production stages, to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, such as by digitizing the foundry at the ‘Aluminum of Greece’ plant in the Metallurgy Business Unit — in cooperation with General Electric — and by applying Metsol technology to reduce PFC emissions, actively contributing to a carbon neutral future by 2050. Previously, MYTILINEOS joined the supporters of the global "Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures" (TCFD) initiative in June 2021, which aimed at adapting and addressing the impact of climate change on its activity.
