Value creation process

The way in which MYTILINEOS creates and allocates value for the Company itself, its shareholders, the providers of financial capital, its other Stakeholders and society at large, is a key element of its business model.

From approaching the markets, developing and maintaining customer relationships and purchasing raw materials, to producing, marketing and selling its products right through to the end of their lifecycle, and to raising funds, MYTILINEOS creates an important value chain with strong social and economic impact. Across all its sectors of business activity, the Company supports incomes, tax revenues and jobs and, respectively, the same applies for its suppliers and business partners within their own value chain. This way, a multiple positive footprint is generated, reaching beyond the range of its business activities to affect domestic employment and the relevant professional sectors in the overall economy.

An illustration of MYTILINEOS’ Business Model is presented below, together with the value created by the Company on the economic, environmental and social level as a result of its business activity.
