Strategic Priorities of Business Sector
ENERGY SECTOR
The Energy Division of MYTILINEOS, focusing on new opportunities arising from increased competitiveness and dynamic
developments in the energy sector, exploits synergies between its branches and defines its strategic priorities based on 5 main
Pillars:
1. Utility Pillar
The largest vertically integrated private company in the electricity and natural gas (utility) sector in Greece, with a presence as
the leading private producer and supplier in the retail electricity market, as well as a leading position in natural gas imports and
trading. The Energy Sector aims to further expand its market share in the supply of electricity and natural gas, by increasing the
provided services and products with a customer-centric approach, as well as expanding power and gas trading in Southeastern
and Central Europe.
2. Renewable Energy Sources (RES) Pillar
A leading position in the RES sector by implementing a vertically integrated model as an integrated developer and EPC contractor
with a global footprint. The development of RES projects is based on an Asset rotation model, as well as the further
implementation of a significant portfolio of RES projects, substantially contributing to the efforts of the electricity generation
sector to increase the installed capacity of renewable sources and gradually engage in energy storage projects, which is a
significant factor towards the growing development of energy production from RES. Special emphasis is placed on strengthening
relationships and strategic collaborations with major investors in Greece and abroad in the RES sector. The strategic expansion
of the portfolio in RES supports the target to reduce specific carbon dioxide (CO
2
) emissions per MWh of electricity production
by almost -50%, by 2030, with the base year being 2019.
3. Grid Transmission Networks Pillar
Dynamic penetration into network upgrade projects in Greece and abroad, both with Energy Substation projects and
Interconnection and Transmission, Distribution & Network (T&D) Line projects.
4. New Technologies Pillar
Design and gradual entry into emerging markets for hydrogen (H2) production and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage
(CCUS), maximizing the availability of our thermal units and increasingly integrating the possibilities offered by the progress of
technological tools, particularly through the development of in-house customized IT tools for energy production and

2023 has been another eventful year on a global scale, with inflation and peak interest rates dominating economics, while the
Gaza conflict is at the epicenter of a simmering crisis affecting the greater Middle-East. However, 2023 was a year of accelerating
economic momentum as consumer spending remains supportive both in Europe and the US, supported by lower energy prices.
Greece has managed not only to maintain its strong growth trajectory but also to preserve a well-above EU average GDP growth.
As EU is losing its post-pandemic momentum, Greece is managing to remain a top performer, driven by significant investments
in both the construction activity as well as the support of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) funds. Following a robust
2022, Greece posts another strong growth in 2023, albeit at a slower pace (c.2%), remaining among the top performers in the
EU. Contributing factors, towards the country’s steady growth path, is the improved labor market as well as a below European
average inflation. The latter is crucial, as it will gradually ease the burden on disposable income, thus benefiting consumption.
The above, coupled with the reduced political risk, following recent parliamentary elections, boosted the Greek sovereign to
regain its investment grade status, the most important milestone Greece achieved during 2023. That, in turn, rubber-stamps the
country’s return to fiscal normality, further improving the country’s growth prospects as borrowing cost improves. As Greece
achieves further milestones, it could ultimately regain its Developed Market status, thus expanding Greece’s international re ach
via new investors.
In the meantime, we have noticed accelerating demand for Greek assets, following a robust financial year for Athens Stock
Exchange, as well as the reviving of the equity market.
Despite the positive outlook for the Greek economy, 2024 is set to be another challenging year. The international economic
environment remains highly fluid, as geopolitical instability intensifies, during a historic election year, as about half of the world’s
population will be called to go to the polls during 2024.
2023 has been a pivotal year for MYTILINEOS, reporting another record set of results with profitability, on the EBITDA level,
exceeding the €1bn mark for the first time in the company’s history. Equally important is the fact that this record performan ce
was achieved at a time of softening energy and metal prices, demonstrating, among others, the merits of MYTILINEOS’ strong
synergies, the result of the coexistence of the Energy and Metals sectors.
During 2023, MYTLINEOS continued to steadily advance its strategic goals, through a series of bolt-on acquisitions (Watt & Volt,
Unison, EfAEnergy and Volterra), which further strengthened the Company's Energy pillar, while the acquisition of IMERYS
BAUXITES, which establishes MYTILINEOS as the largest bauxite producer in the European Union, further enhancing the
Company’s Metal’s segment backward integration. At the same time, MYTILINEOS accelerates its penetration in the promising
North American market in the field of Renewable Energy Sources (RES).
Successive upgrades from credit rating agencies, the continuous increase in the participation of foreign institutional investors,
major institutional analysts’ coverage expansion, the introduction of MYTILINEOS to the global elite of companies with solid ESG
credentials (with an AA rating by MSCI) as well as its presence in the Dow Jones sustainability indices, reflect in the most
convincing way the steadily increase of the degree of the Company’s internationalization.

During 2023, natural gas prices in Europe experienced a significant decline. This was attributed to both high natural gas
inventories in the European continent, which were at 80% level in mid-January, as well as the relatively mild weather conditions.
However, prices did not revert to pre-energy crisis levels.
Electricity demand maintained at lower levels throughout the year, recording a decrease of c. 2.5% compared to 2022. This
decline is, among others, a result of higher energy prices compared to pre-crisis levels, as well as mild weather conditions.
Power production in Greece, both from thermal and renewable units of the Company, amounted to 5.7 TWh, which corresponds
to 11.6% of total demand. Regarding the production of electricity from thermal plants, the three combined cycle plants (CCGTs)
and one high-efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) plant produced a cumulative ~5.1 TWh. This represents just over 10%
of total demand in the interconnected system and 33.2% of production from natural gas plants, from 25.9% in 2022.
Total production from thermal units during 2023, despite the scheduled maintenance of the of Agios Nikolaos plant (Protergia)
in the first quarter of 2023 and of Korinthos Power in the second half of 2023, fluctuated at higher levels (+4%) compared to the
corresponding period of 2022, due to the contribution for the first time of the new CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) unit (8 26
MW), which contributed c.27%, of MYTILINEOS’ 2023 total thermal production. The new CCGT commenced its operation at a
critical period for the country, contributing decisively to support the transition to an energy mix with a significantly lower carbon
footprint. The above, partly due to increased country needs in the coming years, coupled with the high degree of efficiency a nd
flexibility of our units as well as the supply of electricity at competitive prices, are expected to significantly strengthen the
Company's profitability in years to come.

During 2023, in addition to the strong financial performance, MYTLINEOS continued to steadily promote its strategic goals
through the completion of a series of acquisitions such as Watt & Volt, Unison, EfAEnergy and Volterra (subject to Competitio n
Commission approval), which further strengthen the Company's energy pillar and are expected to significantly enhance vertical
integration in the retail market of natural gas and energy supply.
Hence, MYTILINEOS at the end of 2023 represents a total of 525,000 electricity and natural gas meters, while its share in the
electricity market in December 2023 exceeded 13.5%* (HEnEx market shares). In the coming period, MYTILINEOS is targeting to
exceed 25% of the Greek consumption, including the representation of Aluminum of Greece, creating an integrated “green”
utility with international presence. Taking advantage of the vertical integration of the Company's operation in the Energy Sector,
MYTILINEOS is now solidifying its position as an integrated energy provider of the new era ("Utility of the Future").

At the same time, MYTILINEOS, beyond the Greek market, has achieved significant penetration in other markets in the Southeast
European region, in terms of natural gas supply and trading, as part of the Company's internationalization strategy. Having
secured most of Revythoussa terminal’s available slots for the coming years, while steadily increasing its trading volumes,
MYTILINEOS has become a major regional player in the supply and trading of natural gas in both the Balkans and the wider
Southeastern Europe. This achievement has enabled the company to secure competitive natural gas prices and the benefits of
this success are distributed through MYTILINEOS' synergistic model to all company operations.

M Power Projects sub-sector, focusing on projects that support the goals of the energy transition and sustainable development,
is continuously strengthening its international presence, currently executing 35 projects in 11 different countries.
At the end of 2023, the backlog of contracted projects amounted to €1.5 billion, while including projects at an advanced stag e of
contracting, total backlog amounts to €1.8 billion, of which 13% refer to Greek projects and 44% in the United Kingdom, an
activity which is expected to record significant growth.
Regarding the major developments of 2023, the M Power Projects sub-sector, in partnership with GE Vernova, was awarded a
£1 billion contract for the construction of the United Kingdom’s first high-capacity subsea link. Specifically, the consortium
undertook to supply and construct two High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) converter stations for EGL1 - National Grid and SP
Energy Networks joint venture. The project was designed to unlock Scotland's vast renewable energy potential, increasing the
UK's capacity to transport clean energy to where it is needed.
The Company, possessing the required know-how for high-demand projects, aims to exploit in-full all prospects arising from the
Recovery Fund.
Finally, it must be noted that an increasing part of the M-Power Projects’ turnover and profitability, stems from the activity in
the network segment, where there is in principle a decision of the company’s Top Management, for the economic support (along
with M-Renewables) towards infrastructures as well as human resources (mainly Greek skilled engineers), in order to exploit in
full, the upcoming golden decade in the context of the green transition.

Aluminum (3M LME) average price in 2023, came in at 2,287$/t, from 2,716$/t in 2022, marking a 16% decrease. During 2023,
aluminum prices from the relatively high levels at the beginning of the year, gradually declined to the $2,100/t level, reaching
$2,382/t at the end of 2023. The rally in the last two weeks of 2023 was largely driven by a weaker US dollar and the market's
belief that the Federal Reserve, following its decision to keep interest rates unchanged in December, is likely to proceed in
significant rate cuts during 2024.
Aluminum billet premia declined further in 2023 with the average price standing at $460/t from $600/t at the beginning of 2023.
Despite their decline, aluminum billet premia could potentially move upwards again, mainly due to the reduced European
aluminum production, which remains a significantly deficit market, with most of its needs sourced by imports from third
countries, including the Middle East and Russia, which production covers a significant part of the European needs. At the sam e
time, turbulence in the wider region of the European continent could push premia up. For example, recent tensions in the Red
Sea could cause both delays as well as an increase in the cost of importing metal from the Gulf.
Alumina Price Index (API) followed the trend of Aluminum prices, recording however a limited decrease of 5% in 2023, at 344$/t.
Despite a relatively weaker environment in the aluminum market, MYTILINEOS, via proactive management actions, succeeds to
maintain its profitability close to the record levels achieved in 2022. MYTILINEOS, among others has managed to secure favorable
LME prices and €/$ FX rate, while its effective cost control, combined with the significant comparative advantages offered by the
coexistence of the Energy and Metals Sectors, secures strong profit margins, therefore maintaining MYTILINEOS among the most
competitive aluminum and alumina producers globally.
Excellent safety results were recorded for the Metallurgy employees, with Aluminium of Greece completing two consecutive
calendar years without any accident leading to interruption of work. At the same time, a historical performance was achieved in
the annual cumulative production of primary and secondary aluminum and a historical performance in sales quantities of non-
metallurgical alumina, while the production of hydrate alumina was very close to its historically high level.
During 2024, in anticipation of a potential monetary policy easing cycle from the central banks of both Europe and the US, it is
expected that China, Europe, the US and Japan will show signs of improvement, and therefore demand for the metal is expected
to strengthen. Regarding the applications of the metal, aluminum demand is expected to find significant support from both
electric vehicle production and the ongoing expansion of renewables, thus offsetting a temporary weakness in aluminum demand
stemming from the construction sector.

Aluminum supply is likely to fall behind demand growth during the year, both due to the Chinese capacity cap as well as a sluggish
recovery in production from plant restarts, mainly in Europe.
In early September 2023, MYTILINEOS announced the signing of an agreement to acquire 100% of IMERYS Bauxites, which was
approved by the Competition Commission and will be effective as of February 1, 2024. With this agreement, the long-term supply
of Aluminum of Greece, the largest vertically integrated bauxite, alumina, and primary aluminum production unit in the EU, has
been secured, establishing Aluminium of Greece one of the largest producers in Europe. At the same time, this investment
provides MYTILINEOS with the opportunity to explore and exploit opportunities, such as supporting the supply of critical raw
materials (e.g., gallium) and rare earth elements (e.g., scandium) to Europe.
3. Infrastructure & Concessions
METKA ATE, the universal successor of the construction arm of MYTILINEOS in the field of infrastructure, was established as a
100% subsidiary of MYTILINEOS in May 2023 (the spin-off of the infrastructure segment of MYTILINEOS was completed, and the
contribution to its 100% subsidiary named "MYTILINEOS CONSTRUCTION SINGLE MEMBER SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME" with the
distinctive title "METKA ATE", in accordance with the provisions of Law 4601/2019, Law 4548/2018, and article 52 of Law
4152/2013).
After the completion of the spin- off, "ΜΕΤΚΑ ΑΤΕ" replaces the entire transferred property as the universal successor, as
reflected in the Company's financial statements as of 31.12.2022 and was shaped until the day of the completion of the spin-off.
The share capital of "ΜΕΤΚΑ ΑΤΕ" increased by €148,180,390 by issuing 148,180,390 new common registered shares with a
nominal value of €1.00 each, which were fully subscribed by the Company.
The turnover of the infrastructure segment (METKA ATE and its subsidiaries) for 2023 amounted to €158.3 mi llion compared to
€125.9 million in the previous year, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to
€21.3 million compared to €13 million in the previous year. The turnover of the infrastructure segment includes the execution of
projects on behalf of MYTILINEOS, which amount to € 33.7 mi llion compared to €8.8 million in the previous year.
At the end of 2023, the backlog of infrastructure projects exceeded €600 mi llion, while including projects in advanced stages of
contracting, it approached the amount of €900 million (note: for projects executed by joint ventures, only the share of METKA
ATE is included in the backlog).
The main developments of 2023 include the following:
In 2023, the construction of the project 'Remaining Works for the Completion of the Road Connection of the Aktion Area with
the North-Southwestern Axis from km. 0+000 to km. 48+500' continued at a fast pace and was delivered on time on 31.01.2024.
In November 2023, the Joint Venture AVAX – METKA ATE started the preliminary work of the project 'Upgrade of the Internal
Peripheral Road of Thessaloniki (FlyOver)'.
On 02.03.2023, a contract was signed with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport for the study and construction of the
project 'Chalkida Bypass and Psachna Bypass' with a budget of €93.2 million and a construction period of 48 months.
On 19.05.2023, the Joint Venture Terna SA - AKTOR SA - METKA ATE, in which METKA ATE participates with a 30% share, signed
a contract with the Municipality of Athens for the construction of the project 'Construction of the New Football Stadium of
Panathina ikos in Votanikos' with a budget of €96.8 million and a construction period of 36 months.

On 21.12.2023, a contract was signed with the HELLENIC RAILWAYS ORGANIZATION SA for the construction of the project
'Upgrade of existing Suburban Railway Line of Western Attica, section Ano Liosia - New S.S. Megara - P.S. Megara' with a budget
of €95.7 million.
For 2024, as well as in the medium-term, the prospects of the construction sector in Greece appear to be particularly favorable,
justifying the choice of MYTILINEOS to create distinct fully owned subsidiaries, both in the construction sector of Infrastru cture
and in the field of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and Concessions. At this moment, very important infrastructure projects are
in various stages of tendering, both as pure public projects (e.g., extension of metro line 2 of Athens), as well as PPP projects
(road projects, dams, irrigation projects), where METKA ATE, both autonomously and as a contractor of its affiliate M.
Concessions, aims to play a leading role, contributing substantially to the results of its parent company. Also, in 2024, METKA ATE
aims to play a significant role in undertaking large private projects, such as hotels, projects in the large development project of
Hellinikon, as well as to engage in port projects. Finally, METKA ATE aims, with a focus on the Public Interest and utilizing its
extensive technical expertise, to contribute to the resilient recovery of the destroyed infrastructure from the severe weathe r
phenomena in Thessaly. Also, in 2024, METKA ATE aims to engage in environmental management projects, such as Wastewater
Treatment Centers and Waste Treatment Units, in close cooperation with specialized companies in the field.

Prospects for 2024
In the beginning of 2024, despite the positive outlook for the Greek economy, the international economic environment remains
highly fluid, as intense geopolitical instability continues, while most of the world's population will be called to vote during the
year.
However, despite the uncertainties, the significant challenges and the historically high performance achieved in 2023,
MYTILINEOS is looking forward to another year of growth, relying primarily on the large investments that are being implemente d
and gradually strengthening the Company's financial performance.
Specifically in the Energy Sector:
i. The increase in thermal production from the new large unit (826MW), combined with the strengthening of the basket
of energy sources with own RES and PPAs, is expected to enhance financial performance.
ii. PROTERGIA, supported by the most competitive basket it has secured, continues to increase its customer base and grow
both organically and through new acquisitions, while taking into account the coverage of Aluminium needs, it aims to
exceed in the first phase the 20% of the Greek electricity market.
iii. The M Renewables is expected to continue its growth at an even more intensive pace across the globe, with the battery
storage activity constantly strengthening.
iv. The M Power Projects, as mentioned above, is entering more dynamically in the field of networks, while exploiting its
know-how in the construction of natural gas units, in view of the energy transition at a global level.
v. The M Integrated Supply & Trading continues to grow by continuously complementing the range of products included
in its portfolio, adding electricity and CO2 in addition to natural gas and expanding its geographical footprint in order to
cope with the sharp decline in energy prices and maintain (if not increase) profitability.
Finally, as far as the Metals Sector is concerned, all the conditions are in place for the continuation of a good performance in the
face of the serious challenges in the global markets, as MYTILINEOS:
i. Has fully decoupled Aluminum's electricity supply from PPC, following last year's successful partial self-supply, fully
exploiting the synergies arising with the Energy sector, thereby ensuring low energy prices to ensure competitiveness in
production costs.
ii. Has taken hedging actions, securing part of its high profitability.
iii. Following the acquisition of IMERYS Bauxites (today European Bauxites), further strengthens its competitiveness
through additional vertical integration of production and the exploitation of new Greek Bauxite deposits.
iv. Upon completion of the relevant investment program, stabilizes the production of "green" secondary aluminum at high
levels.
All the aforementioned factors and developments create a cautious optimism in principle. In accordance with MYTILINEOS'
established policy, more detailed insights into the course of operations and projections for the entire year of 2024 will be analyzed
at the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Group has a policy of evaluating its results and performance on a monthly basis, identifying timely and effective deviations
from the objectives and taking corresponding corrective measures. The Group measures its efficiency using the following
financial performance indicators that are widely used internationally. It is pointed out that the following indicators are
Alternative Performance Measurement Indicators (APMIs), which are not defined or defined in IFRS. The Group considers these
figures to be relevant and reliable for the evaluation of the Group's financial performance and position, however they do not
replace other figures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
- EBITDA (Operating Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization): The Group defines the «Group EBITDA»
quantity as profits/losses before tax, itemized for financial and investment results; for total depreciation (of tangible and
intangible fixed assets) as well as for the influence of specific factors, i.e. shares in the operational results of liaised bodies where
these are engaged in business in any of the business sectors of the Group, as well as the influence of write-offs made in
transactions with the above mentioned liaised bodies.
- ROCE (Return on Capital Employed): This index is derived by dividing profit before interest & taxes, to the total capital employed
by the Group, these being the sum of the Net Position; Total Debt; and Long - term forecasts.
- ROE (Return on Equity): This index is derived by dividing profit after tax and minority interests by the Equity attributable to the
shareholders of the Parent.
- EVA (Economic Value Added): This metric is derived by multiplying the total capital employed with the difference (ROCE –
Capital Expenditure) and constitutes the amount by which the financial value if the company increases. To calculate the capital
expenditure, the Group uses the WACC formula – « Weighted Cost of Capital».
The Weighted average cost of capital is calculated as, the quotient of Equity Capital to Total Capital Employed (Equity Capital and
Debt) multiplied by the return on Equity* plus the quotient of Debt to Total Capital Employed (Equity Capital and Debt) multiplied
by the return on Debt adjusted by the company tax rate (due to tax saving on interest paid).

The calculation of the indicator Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for the 2023 sums to 7,04% and is based on
the countries in which the Group operates.
*Return on Equity is calculated by utilizing the “Capital Asset Pricing Model” (CAPM) and is equal to risk-free rate of
return plus a risk premium multiplied by beta coefficient, which reveals the variability of the stock in relation to market
fluctuations.
Net Debt: The total interest-bearing financial obligations minus the total available assets.
Adjusted Net Debt: The total interest-bearing debt excluding non-recourse debt, minus the total of its available assets.

10 January 2023 - MYTILINEOS S.A. and Statkra have signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) relang to the energy generated
from four solar farms in Italy.
Specically, the solar farms located in Emilia Romagna, Lazio and Campania, have an overall capacity of 63 MW. All projects were
developed and are currently under construcon by MYTILINEOS and Commercial Operaon Date (COD) is expected in stages
across 2023 and Q1 2024.
These solar assets will supply more than 105.8 gigawa hours of renewable electricity per year, displacing more than 56,000 tons
of CO2 emissions every year – the equivalent of taking 95,000 cars o the road, supporng Italy’s commitments on clean energy,
aiding also the country’s energy independence and security.
Statkra will use the power from the solar parks to oer industrial and commercial companies tailor-made green power soluons.
In this role, Statkra supports its corporate customers by liming the impact of high near-term power prices on their business,
while reducing their carbon footprint and helping them to achieve their sustainability and climate goals.
MYTILINEOS is already established in Italy as it is considered of strategic importance for the Company in both solar and storage
business. Specically, the Company is currently building 156 MW in Italy, of which 127 MW are solar pojects and 31 MW are
storage projects under the Fast Reserve Aucon. 62 MW of the solar projects have secured a 20 year Contract for Dierence (CFD)
with the Italian State-Owned Agency - GSE, for a price of 65.17€/MWh, while the remaining solar assets will have a PPA with
Statkra. The Company currently has in the country a porolio of 2 GW in development and is planning to add addionaly 1 GW
during 2023.
MYTILINEOS fully supports Greece’s and Italy’s strategic plan for decarbonizaon, with current and future investments, especially
now that the energy prices are at historic highs in the European Union.
Statkra is a Norwegian state-owned company that oers standardised PPA soluons and manages signicant market and
operaonal risks connected to the long-term oake of power from renewable power plants. Furthermore, Statkra develops,
operates, and markets hydropower plants, solar parks and wind farms in numerous European countries.
MYTILINEOS was advised by L&B Partners and Our New Energy on the transacon.

16 January 2023 - MYTILINEOS has been awarded a Contract for the «Supply and installaon of a Synchronous Condenser», by
RWE Generaon UK PLC, one of the UK’s leading electricity generators.
Synchronous Condensers are widely considered as essenal for the growth of renewable projects (RES). They are capable of
regulang power in electrical networks, especially when RES cannot provide stability to the system. As market needs increase,
Synchronous Condensers are a reliable technical soluon, capable of meeng the needs of network operators, that most
companies internaonally are observed to prefer. A synchronous condenser does not consume fuel or generate power and as a
result there are no addional airborne emissions or requirements for water usage.
The project supports United Kingdom’s ambions for green energy and zero carbon operaon by 2025. Addionally, it is part of
Naonal Grid’s Stability Pathnder Program for England and Wales, targeng to support the system by increasing inera and short
circuit contribuon, and thus contribung to the stabilizaon of the Grid due to the increased demand of Renewables connected
to the Grid.
MYTILINEOS’ M Power Projects, with its high levels of experse, will undertake the execuon of this turnkey project, which will
comprise the Design, Procurement, Installaon and Commissioning of a Synchronous Condenser facility, with its associated
auxiliary systems, as well as a high voltage (HV) banking compound for connecon of the Synchronous Condenser to the Naonal
Grid’s HV Grid.
This is the rst contract for a Synchronous Condenser for MYTILINEOS and also a rst for RWE in the UK. The asset is part of RWE’s
decarbonisaon plan within the Pembroke Net Zero Centre (PNZC).
The Facility will be located at RWE’s exisng Pembroke Power Staon site in Southwest Wales. Construcon is expected to start
in 2023, and compleon is scheduled for the second half of 2025.
The contract value for MYTILINEOS amounts to €62m.
2 February 2023 - MYTILINEOS – Energy & Metals and Compagnie de Saint-Gobain (EPA: SGO), worldwide leader in light and
sustainable construcon, have signed a private wire Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) relang to the energy generated from a
4.9 MW solar farm in Italy.
The solar power plant will reach commercial operaon in mid-2023 and it will be built on the premises of Saint-Gobain’s historical
factory in Vidalengo, near Bergamo. With this solar asset, more than 7.5 GWh of renewable electricity per year will be produced,
displacing more than 3,900 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year – the equivalent of the yearly carbon footprint of ca. 700 people
living in Italy.
This 10-year PPA secures a signicant poron of Saint-Gobain’s electricity consumpon in Vidalengo factory. In addion, locking
into a favorable electricity price ensure business compeveness, as it reduces operaonal costs in part due to signicant savings
on grid fees. The project falls under the Italian regulaon for self-consumpon, known as SEU.
MYTILINEOS fully supports Greece’s and Italy’s strategic plan for decarbonizaon, with current and future investments, especially
now that the energy prices are at historic highs in the European Union. Specically, the Company currently has an italian porolio.

All wind farms are expected to enter operaon between the end of 2024 and 2025 and under this PPA they are expected to
produce annually more than 232 GWh, the equivalent of the consumpon of 60 thousand households in Greece by displacing
around 100 thousand tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
MYTILINEOS fully supports Greece’s strategic plan for decarbonizaon and seeks opportunies to secure green PPAs, for its own
porolio aiming to reduce energy costs both for its own assets and those of its business partners.
With this new porolio, EDPR has now 11.2 GW out of the 20 GW target addions worldwide established in 2021-25 Business
Plan. This transacon enables EDPR to achieve more than 3.6 GW of the 6.7 GW target for renewable capacity addions in Europe
during 2021-25.
EDPR entered Greece in 2018 through the acquision of the Livadi Wind Farm project, a ready-to-build wind farm of 45 MW,
located near the town of Malesina, in Central Greece. The Livadi wind farm started its operaon in 2021 and since then the
renewable energy generated is enough to power more than 23.500 households while avoiding the emission of approximately 56
thousand tons of CO2 per year.
MYTILINEOS with this transacon makes its rst step towards the development of its green supply basket, aiming to unfold a
wider strategy targeng more than 2GW, coming from 3rd party PPAs and own assets across the region.

True to ESG values and by embracing social values and needs, especially in all local communies, where it operates, MYTILINEOS
seeks to create value and return it to society. With the development of local communies, such as Tema region, a beer and
sustainable future is taking shape. Since 2015, the company's presence in Ghana through 3 projects that contribute to the energy
needs of the country while providing sustainable soluons, has led to the employment of over 2,000 people in a working
environment dened by safety, equality, and stability.
30 March 2023 - MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals is increasingly evolving into an integrated internaonal energy company, oering
a wide range of energy soluons at an internaonal level. At the same me, the company remains steadfast to its commitment
to sustainable development and to aaining the CO2 emissions reducon target, not only for its own acvity, but also for its
integrated soluons oered to its customers.
In this context, the company acquired a 15% equity stake in CLARA Energy’s Rosedale Green Hydrogen project in Australia. In
parcular, MYTILINEOS investment will support commencement of Stage 1 of the Rosedale project to build hydrogen generaon
facility that will be exclusively powered by solar producon and will feed long haul trucks that cross one of the country’s busiest
highways, i.e., Sydney – Melbourne Hume Highway corridor. The unit is at the most suitable locaon to become the main fuel
supplier for long haul heavy load trucks, as well as for all vehicles traveling between Sydney and Melbourne taking that route.
It is worth nong that in a world where the transport sector is constantly developing and decorbanizaon is moving forward with
determinaon, trucks seem to be lagging behind. In parcular since 2020, the transport industry has been at the forefront of CO2
emissions as the transport sector produces around 7,3 billion metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. Trucks account for a
signicant proporon of these global transport emissions.
In the meanme, the European Commission has proposed stricter limits on CO2 emissions from heavy vehicles, so that new trucks
reduce emissions by 90% by 2040. The objecve is to align the transport sector with the European Union's objecve of achieving
zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, as well as to reduce demand for imported fossil fuels. However, according to a study
published by Bloomberg NEF, in order to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, medium- and heavy zero-emission vehicles should
account for around 95% of sales by 2040. Based on this current outlook, however, they will represent only about 35%. The reasons
for this delay are due to a number of factors, as there are numerous dicules such as limited charging staons, autonomy, costs
and the lack of encouragement to shi towards the green era itself.
The use of hydrogen is therefore an important soluon in automove applicaons drawing on new technologies able to bring the
cleanest use closer, especially for the main polluter in the transport sector, i.e heavy goods vehicles and trucks. Hydrogen is a
technology whose benets are rapid refueling mes compared to gasoline or oil, depending on the ability to cover longer
distances with a single ll. At the same me, it is safer than convenonal fuels, since it is 14 mes lighter than air; a narrow,
vercal ame is produced in the event of a point leak in the tank, which does not create a high temperature and does not spread.
Hydrogen is one of the simplest chemical elements, which is included in the composion of many chemical compounds, in
parcular water. Its quanty is almost unlimited on our planet, as opposed to liquid fuels or some raw materials needed to
manufacture baeries. For all these reasons, hydrogen tends to become the fuel of the future.
CLARA Energy's nal project plan for Rosedale is to develop an 800 MW solar farm next to a 560 MW hydrogen plant near
Gundagai – roughly the midpoint on the Hume Highway - able to produce enough hydrogen to fuel 800 trucks running the Hume

each day. At Stage 1, solar capacity will reach 250MW and the hydrogen installaon will produce enough hydrogen to be used b y
200 trucks.
This decision helps to reduce emissions of pollutants even in a sector that has a long way to go towards ‘greening’. In parcular,
the new hydrogen plant seems to be one of the best soluons, as it addresses the issue of reduced electric charging staons for
heavy goods vehicles, while oering the right energy and fuel needed, so that vehicles do not need expensive baeries to ru n.
It is worth nong that MYTILINEOS connues to successfully respond to the energy crisis challenges and the transion to ‘green’
energy. Through its diversied porolio, its pioneering choices and future-forward outlook, the company once again stands ahead
of energy developments.
16.05.2023 - MYTILINEOS SA announces that further to the decisions of the Extraordinary General Meeng of shareholders of the

5 September 2023 – Η MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals announces the signing of an agreement with the French IMERYS for the
acquisition of 100% of the shares of IMERYS BAUXITES GREECE SINGLE MEMBER SOCIETE ANONYME ("IMERYS BAUXITES"). The
agreement concerns all bauxite mining activities in the Fokida area, which will now be part of MYTILINEOS’ Metallurgy Sector (M
Metals).
With this agreement, M Metals is significantly strengthened, as the bauxite production capacity of the mining activity alread y
available to MYTILINEOS through Delphi-Distomon, whose annual production amounts to 570,000 tons of bauxite, is increased.
The acquisition is carried out by MYTILINEOS, but in a second stage, IMERYS BAUXITES will merge with the 100% subsidiary Delphi
Distomon, with a total production of more than 1.2 million tonnes whilst fully exploiting internal synergies.
This move completes M Metals’ vertical integration, while the historic Aluminium of Greece plant, the only fully vertically
integrated bauxite, alumina and primary cast aluminium production unit in the European Union (EU), with privately owned port
facilities, ensures its long-term supply with its basic raw material, at a time when most refineries in Europe face vital operational
problems. An important role in MYTILINEOS' decision for the new acquisition and the overall investment - alongside even greater
total investment to follow - was played by the recent EU decision to include bauxite, alumina and aluminium in the list of the
European Raw Materials Act, which the European Union considers should be supported in every way, in order to reduce, as much
as possible, Europe's dependence on these necessary metals, towards Green Transition.
As a pillar of the Greek industry, Aluminium of Greece (AoG) has an annual production capacity of 1.2 MIO tonnes of bauxite
(which will be substantially increased further after the acquisition and the investmens in the mines), 865.000 tonnes of various
qualities of Alumina, 190.000 tonnes of Value Added Primary Aluminium Products (VAPs) and 50.000MT recycled Aluminium
billets. In addition, through investments and pioneering European programs and with the proper management of bauxite
residues, it manages to minimize the environmental footprint of its industrial activity and creates additional value through the
production of rare earths, such as scandium and of course gallium, materials found in the prime quality Greek bauxites. It is noted
that the Aluminium of Greece plant remains among the aluminium producers with the lowest cost worldwide, as it is firmly in
the first quartile of the global cost curve.
Upon completion of the transaction, €10 million will be paid. MYTILINEOS will have the obligation to supply specific quantiti es of
bauxite to IMERYS for a period of four (4) years.
It is noted that MYTILINEOS will also invest an additional €100 million approximately for research and development of existin g
and new deposits, for environmental regeneration, where required, as well as for equipment renewal. The exact amount will als o
depend on the specific support provisions of the CRM Act, the publication of which is imminent.
The Transaction is subject to approval from the Hellenic Competition Commission.
19 September 2023 – Η MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals further to electronic press releases and relevant question by the HCMC,
announces that the consortium, to which MYTILINEOS participates along with GE Vernova, has been named preferred supplier in
the course of the tender process conducted by “SP Transmission” and “National Grid Electricity Transmission” regarding the
project “Eastern Green Link 1”, which involves a network of HVDC converter stations.
Upon successful completion of negotiations, pursuant to the terms of the tender process and execution of the definitive
agreements for the project, detailed information of the investment public will follow.

A. Executive Summary
MYTILINEOS considers risk management an integral part of business operations to identify risks and opportunities and ensure
business resilience. Enterprise risk management is integrated into our decision-making, market analysis, and business continuity
in order to continuously identify and assess existing and emerging risks and opportunities on a company and business level.
Moreover, our risk governance structure (see section: Risk Governance Pillar) ensures the independence of the Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM) Division, provides the communication and reporting lines to escalate significant risks and analyze our risk
profile, promotes close collaboration of the ERM Division with Risk Owners and other internal assurance providers and establishes
the roles and responsibilities of all parties that participate in the risk management practices.
In addition, at MYTILINEOS, the establishment of a strong risk culture is an essential aspect of our risk management practices,
that promotes risk behaviors, pervades our willingness to accept risk, determines clear roles in risk management, and educate s
personnel on matters related to risks, opportunities, and controls (see section: Risk Culture Pillar).
To achieve the purpose and mandate of risk management, the ERM Division has a set of policies and processes that cover the
risk management life-cycle and are available to all MYTILINEOS personnel (see section: Enterprise Risk Management Framework
Pillar).
The three pillars (Risk Governance, Risk culture, and Enterprise Risk Management Framework) work in harmony in order to
identify, assess, and manage the variety and complexity of MYTILINEOS risks that could potentially have a severe impact on
business development and growth, sustainable development, financial and operational performance, and reputation. Following
is a summary of MYTILINEOS Principal Risks as well as Emerging Risks. At MYTILINEOS, risks are considered dynamic, and their
effect could change depending on external and internal events that could trigger changes in the severity of the risk exposures.

B. Enterprise Risk Management Analysis
MYTILINEOS' mission, vision, corporate values, strategy, and the amount and type of risks it is willing to take to meet the business
objectives inform and shape the risk management principles of the company.
Enterprise Risk Management is an essential component of MYTILINEOS’ operations and is achieved through a multidimensional
approach which is based on three fundamental pillars: Risk Governance, Risk Culture and our Enterprise Risk Management
framework.
Through these elements, we achieve a comprehensive approach to the management of risks that affect our strategy, operations,
and business objectives. MYTILINEOS operations are affected by multiple risks, which may affect the business operations, the
financial performance, and the achievement of its strategic objectives.
1. Risk Governance Pillar
The foundation of sound enterprise risk management is a well-defined and established risk governance structure. At MYTILINEOS,
the risk governance pillar aims to promote the tone and expectations of senior management for risk management and risk
appetite across the business sectors and units, taking into account the vision, mission, corporate values, and business objectives.
Moreover, our risk governance structure is developed based on the legislative requirements and good practices, such as the three
lines model, to determine clear authorities, roles, responsibilities, reporting lines, oversight mechanisms and to promote a strong
risk culture and a common risk language across the organization.
1.1 Three Lines Model
By adapting and implementing the three lines model, MYTILINEOS has defined appropriate structures and roles in managing risk
related matters that facilitate strong governance and risk management.
The first line consists of Risk and Control Owners across our organization (Central Functions and Business Sectors), who are
responsible for the identification, assessment, management and monitoring of risks and act as partners to the ERM Division to
enhance the effectiveness of risk management practices that ERM designs. The ERM Division, as a second line function, supports
and challenges the first line by coordinating the implementation of risk management practices and provides expertise and
guidance regarding the severity of risks. The third line, our Internal Audit Division, is responsible for providing independent and
objective assurance over the adequacy and effectiveness of governance, risk management and internal controls.

A sound risk governance structure is essential for communicating the importance of risk management across the organization
and developing a framework for identifying, assessing, accepting, and avoiding risks while pursuing the achievement of
organizational objectives.
At MYTILINEOS, the importance of risk management, as well as the utilization of risk management outcomes, are supported
through a robust governance structure that includes the collective knowledge and expertise of the Board of Directors, the Board
Committee (Audit Committee) that provides deeper focus in areas such as risk management and the independent operations of
the Enterprise Risk Management Division and other internal assurance providers. The framework described below presents the
key components of MYTILINEOS’ risk governance structure in more detail:

1.2.2 The Role of Enterprise Risk Management in Risk Governance
The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Division is responsible for the
design and deployment of the overall risk management framework across
the organization in order to identify and manage risks. The ERM Division is
independent from business functions and reports functionally to the Audit
Committee. The Head of the ERM Division promotes a set of principles that
are deployed through ERM Policy and ERM Process in order to ensure long-
term value creation, achieve business and strategic objectives and address
threats. Moreover, the values and the mandate of the ERM Division are
presented below:
A. Design, Add Value and Facilitate: The ERM Division develops the components of the Enterprise Risk Management
Framework (ERM Policy, ERM Process, Risk Appetite Framework), facilitates the execution of the risk assessment, and
proposes improvement opportunities to manage effectively and respond to risks and risk events.
B. Monitor, Report and Train: The ERM Division monitors risk exposures across the organization, adherence to the risk
framework and escalates the most significant risk exposures and control issues to Audit Committee and senior
management. Moreover, the ERM Division through risk initiatives educates and trains MYTILINEOS’ senior management
and personnel in matters related to risk and controls.
Moreover, the ERM Division collaborates with other assurance/risk providers within the organization in order to establish a
common risk language, common perspective regarding risk and opportunities and to strengthen risk awareness. More specifically,
the ERM Division cooperates with the Internal Audit Division, the Compliance Division, the Sustainable Development, and the
Information Security Officer. Finally, the operations and methodologies of the ERM Division are audited by the Internal Audit
Division of MYTILINEOS as well as by an independent auditor every three years based on the Internal Control System Assessment
framework of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission.
1.2.3 Enterprise Risk Management and Internal Control System
MYTILINEOS to effectively manage risks has developed an internal control system that consists of a set of policies, processes,
standards and rules in order to promote the principles, the expected inflows and outflows of business process and the control s
that should be performed to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information. The internal control system strengths the
awareness for risk management and provides the opportunities to enhance the operations and performance. Finally, the internal
control system assessment methodologies followed by the Internal Audit Division and the Enterprise Risk Management Division
consider the principles of the COSO Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

2. Risk Culture Pillar
Risk Culture establishes the foundation regarding the behaviors within the organization that influence the management of risk,
taking into account its size, nature and complexity. MYTILINEOS promotes a risk culture to support informed decision-making
across the organization, and ensure acceptable behaviors, transparency, awareness, risk taking and risk management. The risk
culture of MYTILINEOS consists of attributes that aim to develop the set of behaviors that influence risks and impact outcomes.
2.1 Tone from the Top
The Board and Executive team establish the appropriate risk behaviors through the provisions, communication, and acceptance
of the Code of Conduct Principles by all personnel. Moreover, business values and behaviors are articulated through specific
policies such as Conflicts of Interest policy, Whistleblowing Policy, Antifraud, Anticorruption & Antibribery Policy.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS promotes risk consciousness across business operations through various initiatives that aim to capture
and assess projects'/contracts' viability. More specifically, MYTILINEOS has implemented the Large Project Risk Management
(LPRM) Framework to evaluate specific risks and financial dimensions for decision-making and pursuing business opportunities.
2.2 Risk Appetite
MYTILINEOS considers an effective risk appetite framework as a strategic tool to enhance and promote a strong risk culture. The
risk appetite framework is developed with the participation of all executive members who share their views, business, and market
knowledge to formulate the risk appetite statements, taking into consideration MYTILINEOS’ corporate values and strategic
objectives. As a result, the risk appetite is aligned with our strategy and stakeholders' perspectives and provides guidance to
management regarding the types and levels of risk the organization is willing to pursue to achieve its business objectives and
maximize shareholder value. Finally, the Board of Directors approves the qualitative and quantitative risk appetite statements.
2.3. Risk Accountability & Transparency
Roles and responsibilities for risk management are clearly articulated and understood by risk management participants across
the ERM framework and include accountabilities and expectations of all risk members (Board, ERM Division, Risk Owners etc.).
Risk transparency is enabled by comprehensive risk reporting, including the analysis of inherent and residual risk levels,
aggregated views of risks, and analysis of principal risks to inform stakeholders regarding the effect of risks in the busine ss
objectives, the present risk treatments that are part of the company’s internal control system and the additional treatment
actions in order to enhance the management of key risks taking into account the risk appetite framework. Finally, risk-related
issues are communicated to internal stakeholders (e.g., Audit Committee) from various sources, including internal audit reports
and key findings, complaints, breach monitoring and reporting, etc.

2.4 Risk Awareness and Training
Risk awareness and training reinforce the risk culture across the organization. The formal policy and the process of the ERM
Division are available to all employees through MYTILINEOS’ intranet and include communication lines amongst the ERM Head
and the Risk Owners. Through these communication lines, involved parties are able to propose new risks, reassess existing risks,
discuss risk and control concerns and share ideas to enhance the overall risk management process and practices.
Also, the establishment of the risk appetite framework works as a guide towards risk awareness due to the fact that this
framework defines the risk behavior of the company towards the pursue of strategic, business, operational and financial
objectives.
Additionally, in order to embed a risk culture across the organization, the ERM Division conducts formal and informal trainin g
sessions for risk management participants (e.g., Risk Owners etc.) and risk stakeholders about the concepts of risks and controls.
The aim of these training sessions is to increase the participants’ awareness regarding the importance of risk management
practices as a tool to achieve the organizational objectives, to identify areas of improvement and to strengthen the management
of risks. Moreover, the ERM Division, based on the yearly internal review identifies improvement opportunities in the areas of
assessment, prioritization and reporting packages. The ERM Division conducted formal discussions with the Non-Executive
Members of the BoD in order to discuss the current and future developments of the risk management practices across the risk
life cycle, to present the outcomes of the adjustments to risk management methodologies and obtain feedback.
It should be noted, that risk related trainings are conducted in other occasions such as during the onboarding process of new
employees in which risk matters related to current/emerging topics (e.g., GDPR, Security) that may arise and should be brough t
to the attention of new joiners. Moreover, training sessions are conducted in order to increase the awareness of personnel to
cyber risk, to educate the personnel on cyber threats and methods that may lead to cyber vulnerabilities. Finally, training sessions
are conducted for liable persons on matters such as conflicts of interest, antitrust etc.
2.5 Risk Coordination
Risk coordination amongst internal assurance providers, the business sectors and central functions is fundamental to promotin g
a strong risk culture that encompasses a common understanding of the risk and control elements.
More specifically, common risk terminologies, categories, and ratings are established between the ERM Division, the Internal
Audit Division, and the Information Security Officer to enhance the alignment of assurance functions, establish a common risk
language, and provide Executive and Senior Management with a transparent and fair view of risks and their impact on the
organization. Moreover, the Internal Audit Division leverages the work of the ERM Division to prioritize the auditable units, assess
the design and effectiveness of related controls, and provide the Executive and Senior Management of MYTILINEOS with an
overall assessment of the internal control system.
In addition, MYTILINEOS has established a consultation process to monitor the development of new policies and procedures
effectively in order to review and assess their completeness, accuracy, and interrelationships. Through this process, the
executives of Central Functions and Business Sectors propose changes and approve the final/revised version of policies and
procedures. The ERM Division participates in the consultation process to provide advice on the related risks as well as on relevant
controls that could be included in the various stages of the procedures. Additionally, for the efficient operation of the consultation
process, the Company has developed the "Digital Consultation App" platform to monitor and approve new (or updated) policies
and procedures.

3. Enterprise Risk Management Framework Pillar
Our ERM Framework aims to establish a streamlined process for the identification, assessment and reporting of risks that includes
defined roles and responsibilities, risk terminology, assessment criteria, tools for the documentation of risks, as well as escalation
and reporting lines.
3.1 Our ERM Process
Our ERM process has been developed with the aim of fitting the structure and objectives of MYTILINEOS. The process
incorporates elements and principles of ISO 31000 and COSO ERM to establish a strong and dynamic risk management
framework.
More specifically, MYTILINEOS' risk management cycle incorporates corporate inflows such as corporate values, business
objectives, willingness to accept exposures to the pursuit of business objectives, and market conditions and produces risk
outcomes that provide the necessary information to the Executive team to direct resources (human and capital) to manage the
risk uncertainties. In more detail the components of the risk management cycle:
Establishment of Context: Establishing the context helps clarify the objectives and scope of the activity for which the risk
assessment is being conducted, identify the stakeholders and subject matter experts, understand the organization’s internal a nd
external environment and define the set of criteria against which the identified risks will be assessed / measured.
Risk Identification: Through the identification of risks, we recognize areas of uncertainty and potential events that could enhance
or prevent the achievement of the organization's goals. MYTILINEOS conducts risk identification to produce a comprehensive list
of risks through various methods and assigns each risk to a Risk Owner to promote and ensure accountability.
Risk Analysis: The identified risks are analyzed and assessed, considering the risk criteria in terms of impact, probability and the
design of the internal control system aiming to calculate the inherent and residual risk levels.
Risk Evaluation: The evaluation of risks has two dimensions. The first dimension supports the prioritization of risks to determine
the most significant risks for the company. The prioritization of risks considers both the inherent and residual risk scores to
identify significant tail risks with emphasis on risk materiality both before and after implementing mitigation actions. The second
dimension of the risk evaluation involves comparing the risk results with the risk appetite levels to consider the need for
treatment.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
54
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Risk Treatment: MYTILINEOS determines the appropriate risk response or combination of responses to effectively manage its
risk exposures according to the organization’s risk appetite as well as the level of the risk rating of each identified risk. Responses
manifest themselves as series of initiatives or projects and are the responsibility of the risk/business owners.
Monitoring & Review: MYTILINEOS analyzes risk trends since factors that may affect the impact and probability may change, as
may factors that affect the appropriateness of the internal control system or the design of the risk treatment plans. Moreover,
we monitor the status of risk treatment, and we reassess at regular intervals the performance of the ERM Framework to identify
potential improvement opportunities.
Communication & Consultation: MYTILINEOS plans and implements communication activities related to the ERM Framework
aiming to maintain open and dynamic communication with Risk Owners as well as frequent reporting to Senior Management and
the Audit Committee. Communication and consultation include bringing different areas of expertise together, ensuring different
views are considered when defining risk criteria and assessing risks, providing sufficient information to facilitate risk oversight,
and promoting risk awareness and understanding of risks.
3.2 Frequency of Risk Assessment Process
MYTILINEOS conducts and monitors the evolution of risk exposures through the risk assessment process at least yearly, or when
events constitute a crisis, an ad hoc ERM cycle will be performed if decided as necessary.
3.3 Our Risk Universe
The identified risks are classified into five (5) categories Strategic, Market, Operational, Financial, Legal & Regulatory &
Compliance, as presented below.
Strategic
Risks that may offer benefits to the organization or threats that may arise
from adverse business decisions, poor implementation and execution of the organization’s
strategy, or lack of responsiveness to strategic plan deviations caused by external or internal
factors.
Market
Risks that may arise from failure to identify factors relating to macroeconomic and
sociopolitical conditions that will affect the ability of the organization to maintain or increase
its revenue and profitability in a specific business environment.
Financial
Risks that may arise due to ineffective management of financial markets’ volatility and
incorrectly, miscalculated, omitted, or misrepresented financial information to external users
such as investors and regulators, or internal stakeholders.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
55
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Operational
Risks that may arise from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, or ineffective
human resource management, or from external events.
Legal & Regulatory & Compliance
Risks that may arise from ineffectively managing regulatory and legal risks
and failure to comply with internal procedures resulting in regulatory censure, adverse
financial or reputational impact.
4. Emerging Risks
MYTILINEOS identifies and monitors emerging risks through various channels such as Management Committees and reports from
specialized consultants on new trends and risks. Moreover, risks that are already identified and captured through the streamlined
risk management processes and could possibly have a high impact for the organization in the long-term, are considered as
emerging risks that require attention and close monitoring from the ERM Head and Senior Management. The emerging risks
identified by Senior Management of MYTILINEOS that could affect the company in the upcoming years are:
1. Risk Title: Application and adoption of emerging technologies and intelligent solutions
A. A. MYTILINEOS Risk Category: Strategic
B. B. World Economic Forum Risk Category: Technological
C. C. Risk Analysis: Emerging technologies and new intelligence solutions that change the landscape and business environment
of MYTILINEOS may have a multidimensional effect on the organization. More specifically, exciting new technologies with
various applications to the Energy and Metallurgy Sectors impose opportunities to strengthen the leading and diversified
position of MYTILINEOS as well as risks regarding the proper assessment, feasibility, and utilization of these emerging
solutions. In more detail, a variety of intelligence solutions have emerged with applications to MYTILINEOS business objectives
such as carbon capture, utilization and storage solutions, utilization of hydrogen, smart cities and AI and machine learning
platforms for energy trading activities, forecasting of renewable energy, energy storage, mining, etc. As a result, factors that
can create uncertainty about the risk arise such as the evolution and maturity of emerging technologies, the mapping of the
emerging technologies universe, the correlation and prioritization with MYTILINEOS objectives, the ability to conduct proof of
concept, and the assessment of the economic feasibility of these solutions.
Finally, the risk could disrupt the company's business and financial targets, affect its ability to innovate and lead with ne w
solutions/offerings, its global footprint and brand, the opportunities to attract specialized new skills, and the ability to be
competitive.
D. D. Risk Treatment: MYTILINEOS has taken a strategic approach to emerging solutions and innovation that includes the
monitoring and assessing of technology trends, the planning and execution of in-house innovation/transformation programs
to test new technologies (e.g., Smart City Project of Aspra Spitia), the assessing of business opportunities to participate in pilot
or small-scale projects to evaluate the economic feasibility, alliances/partnerships with other companies etc.

Finally, MYTILINEOS, in order to assess the applicabilities and attract specialized skills, proceeded with the spin-off of a digital
startup that aims to leverage data and AI to design intelligent solutions for energy and metal companies.
2. Risk Title: Extreme and unpredicted weather events and natural disasters
E. A. MYTILINEOS Risk Category: Strategic
F. B. World Economic Forum Risk Category: Environmental
C. Risk Analysis: MYTILINEOS operations face the threat of unpredicted natural and weather events that may disrupt
operations, damage assets, create losses, and affect the local communities in which the company operates. The impact and
velocity of these types of events indicate that there is a trend that uncontrollable events will continue to appear and will
require the attention of MYTILINEOS senior management.
More specifically, the risk from severe weather events (wildfires, floods) and natural events (earthquakes, landslips) may
impair the capability of the company to sustain critical operations such as the operations of the thermal power units and the
refinery, the ability to meet the contractual obligations for services and products as well as lead to damages to project
equipment, litigations costs, and operating costs to manage the risks.
A. D. Risk Treatment: To manage extreme weather and natural events, MYTILINEOS adopts approaches that include insurance
coverage, identification of possible vulnerabilities and action plans (ex-ante and ex-post such as reinforced constructions),
and crisis management framework, with clear roles, responsibilities, and escalation protocols for managing unpredicted
events.
5. Principal Risks
5.1 Identification of Principal Risks
MYTILINEOS operations are suspectable to internal and external events that may create upside or downside risks. Through our
comprehensive enterprise risk management framework, we identify and assess these events in order to gain a holistic and fair
view of risks and understand how these risks can materially and adversely affect our future performance, strategy and reputation.
Moreover, the risk assessment results are further elaborated to identify the principal risks based on our robust prioritization
exercise that aims to highlight risks that have significant exposure before and after implementing mitigation actions.

The results of our risk prioritization exercise to identify principal risks are presented below. Risks that are close to the center of
our prioritization diagram are considered as Principal risks:
5.2 Analysis of Principal Risks
The principal risks are timely identified and closely monitored and analyzed so that appropriate mitigation actions, in line with
our risk appetite, can be taken. An analysis of the principal risks that MYTILINEOS faces including the description and potential
threats of each risk, the root causes/factors that contribute to the materialization of the risk, MYTILINEOS’ appetite for ea ch risk,
the evolution of the risk severity, and related mitigation actions are presented below.
A. Market Risks
The following section provides an analysis of principal market risks:
1. Geopolitical
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
Social, political factors or trade barriers within a
market environment may affect the organization's
investments and ability to market, sell and provide
products and services. Through its business
activities that expand in five continents,
MYTILINEOS is exposed to a wide and
everchanging geopolitical environment that could
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS’ activities, access to markets or operational continuity may
be disrupted due to political instability, including terrorism, war, crime
and social unrest. Furthermore, increased changes in policies,
regulations and legislations, short-term changes in demand and/or trade
requirements could potentially impact key markets for MYTILINEOS’
products, projects and services.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
58

st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
potentially threaten the organization’s activities
and reputation.
Moreover, current geopolitical developments such as military and trade
conflicts could affect the business plans, the investment decisions and
create disruptions to operational plans and the supply chain of raw
materials and equipment.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS has developed specific policies and processes for the
assessment of Geopolitical Risk exposure but also for the
implementation of risk mitigation plans. More specifically, MYTILINEOS
deploys the following instruments/tools:
I. In-house comprehensive Geopolitical risk assessment
II. Legal pre-contractual assessment
III. Ensuring favorable contractual terms
IV. Financial and insurance instruments
V. Safety and security measures for personnel and premises.
MYTILINEOS continuously monitors and assesses the geopolitical
environment of each country it has operations, in terms of security,
political stability and regulations, to identify any emerging geopolitical
risks and/or monitor the development of existing ones. Moreover,
MYTILINEOS conducts thorough review of the geopolitical environment
and accompanied risks when considering expanding its activities in new
countries. More specifically, multidivisional working groups are formed,
which in collaboration with specialized consultants, assess the type and
severity of the risks that MYTILINEOS may be exposed to (political, credit,
health & safety, tax, supply chain, etc.). As part of the assessment, local
visits may be conducted to countries of interest to further examine the
expansion opportunities. The assessment is followed by the
development of corresponding risk management strategies that are
evaluated in relation to the benefits presented by the expansion of
activities to arrive to an informed decision that considers the Geopolitical
Risks involved. MYTILINEOS has developed a strategy for actively
engaging with key stakeholders in the countries the organization
operates, such as governments and regulators, aiming to achieve
continuous monitoring of the situation in each country and assist in the
socio-economic development of the countries through various initiatives.
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
We have activities in various countries with less
stable political and economic environments, and
possible restrictions imposed after the initiation of
projects / investments. We are willing to accept
medium levels of Geopolitical Risk in pursuit of our
strategic objectives and stakeholders’
expectations, maximizing the shareholder value
and ensuring, in any case, that we monitor and
assess the factors that may impact our risk
exposure and respond efficiently, where possible.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Political instability in relevant countries (e.g.,
Libya, Ghana) that the organization operates
in.
2. Embargos of gas-producing countries may
affect the organization's strategic,
operational, and financial targets.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
59
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
2. Macroeconomic
Risk Tend
A. Definition:
The organization does not plan for or manage
fluctuating macroeconomic factors (e.g., inflation,
GDP, economic growth, stability) leading to
financial loss.
D. Risk Analysis:
Through its business activities that expand in various economies,
MYTILINEOS is exposed to a wide range of macroeconomic trends and
factors that could potentially threaten the organization’s activities and
financial viability/stability.
MYTILINEOS could face negative impacts due to significant reductions
in customer spending or delays of investment plans, inflationary
pressures that affect the underlying cost base and margins, political
instability and aggressive monetary and/or fiscal policies that may
adversely affect the organizational objectives.
More specifically, a variety of macroeconomic indicators may alert the
business and financial targets, e.g. an increase in unemployment rates
could negatively affect demand/default rates in retail businesses,
primary surplus can have an impact on public investments and demand
for infrastructure projects, high interest rates may affect the overall
financial goals of the business since the interest rate increase aims to
slow economic activity and is likely to lead to lower demand for goods
and services as well as to increase the borrowing costs making credit
and investment more expensive and having an impact on the overall
liquidity.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS primarily operates across various geographies, economies
and industries (Energy and Metals), thus has a balanced portfolio that
ensures resilience and future profitability, since the organization is less
exposed to adverse economic developments in a single geography or
industry.
MYTILINEOS continuously monitors the macroeconomic environment
through monthly meetings of the Business Sectors
Committees/Councils (Energy and Metallurgy) and the Financial
Committee where relevant developments are presented and
discussed.
MYTILINEOS monitors, through various channels, the current and
estimated developments in the market, the macroeconomic variables
and the accompanied macroeconomic risks (e.g., macroeconomic
stability of a country, inflation fluctuations, monetary policies), that
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
We are exposed to dynamic domestic and global
macro-economic factors, and we operate in
possible high-risk countries. We are willing to
accept medium levels of Macroeconomic Risk,
ensuring in any case that we monitor and assess
the factors that may impact our financial position
and respond efficiently where possible.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Failure to identify and react to dynamic
macro-economic factors may negatively
impact investments, revenue, and
profitability.
2. Local and national political-institutional
change may affect the attitude towards the
organization.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
60
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st

could potentially create the need to adapt the organization’s actions
both in production and investment levels.
Furthermore, MYTILINEOS integrates macroeconomic metrics and
forecasts in its five-year business plan to examine the viability of
projects and future opportunities against a range of associated
variables (e.g., prices, costs).
3. Energy Supply
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not plan and manage
effectively the energy sources (electrical power,
natural gas etc.) in terms of quantity, pricing and
costs.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS’ operations could potentially be at risk due to high energy
prices and availability constraints caused by disruptions in the energy
market.
Potential failure to effectively plan and manage the energy sources
(electrical power, natural gas, etc.) in terms of quantity, pricing, and
costs could lead to delays and disruptions in the production process of
the Metallurgy Sector, the participation of thermal units of the Energy
Sector in the energy mix, additional costs, and inability to achieve
operational and financial goals as well as client needs. Finally, the
ability to maintain a balanced mix of electrical power (RES vs Thermal)
is important to meet sustainability and financial targets.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
The Energy Council of MYTILINEOS continuously monitors energy
sources (electrical power, natural gas etc.) in terms of quantity, pricing
and costs. The Energy Council meets monthly to analyze the latest
developments in the energy sector and how they impact the
organization.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS, through the M Energy Generation &
Management business activity, establishes the principles,
methodologies, and practices for effectively managing energy supply.
More specifically, the business activity is staffed with personnel with
specialized skills and competencies and in-depth knowledge of the
energy sector in order to monitor the energy market, analyze the
competition, conduct statistical and analytical analysis on the energy
market for decision-making, forecast energy needs, design strategies
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our appetite for Energy Supply Risk is Medium. We
seek to ensure effective management of energy
sources, taking into consideration external factors
such as fluctuations in regional/global
supply/demand of natural gas and power.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Fluctuations in regional/ global
supply/demand of natural gas may affect the
production and financial targets of the
organization.
2. Gas supply chain capacity shortages affecting
plant production.
3. Inability to source competitive electrical
power mix.

for market bidding & power trading (withing the country and across
borders), and propose alternative solutions to manage the energy
generated by MYTILINEOS generation assets (thermal and RES) and
energy from 3rd parties PPAs.
MYTILINEOS participates in all wholesale energy markets to ensure
access to energy supply and develops and maintains a competitive
energy portfolio that consists of our group's existing assets (thermal,
RES) and a basket of 3rd party RES PPA contracts.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS, through the utilization of tailor-made energy
monitoring and forecasting tools, evaluates and assesses the
development of market prices to support the optimization of the
energy portfolio basket across the short-term and medium-term
horizons.
In addition, MYTILINEOS enters into long-term gas/electricity supply
agreements with counterparties that meet the organization’s criteria
regarding reliability and creditworthiness to ensure availability of
critical sources for its activities.
Finally, where feasible, MYTILINEOS hedges the energy prices’
fluctuation both with strategic and operational methods, using various
financial instruments, such as derivatives.
B. Strategic Risks
The following section provides an analysis of principal strategic risks:
4. Long-term resources availability
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not monitor and manage
effectively the reserves and availability of critical
materials which may lead to issues on the
continuation of business operations.
D. Risk Analysis:
The demand and supply dynamics of long-term resources are closely
related to our ability to produce the expected economic output and
support social initiatives. Our business activities are dependent on the
expected supply of raw materials (e.g., bauxite) and energy sources
(e.g., natural gas) that can be affected by various external factors such
as competition, regulations, government policies, price speculation as
well as by internal factors such as production targets and operational
efficiency.
The availability, quality, and cost of critical raw materials and energy
sources affect the company's financial and operational targets. More
specifically, disruptions in the bauxite production or the bauxite supply
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our appetite for Long-term Resources
Availability Risk is Low. We seek to ensure
efficient and effective monitoring of critical
materials reserves and availability and plan for
future needs, taking into consideration possible
shortages affected by external factors.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
62
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack/shortage of Greek Bauxite reserves.
2. Ineffective monitoring of reserves to plan
for future needs and to develop synergies
with other companies.
3. Lack of natural gas reserves to meet
production targets.
in terms of type, concentration of iron minerals, and price could
negatively or positively affect the business objectives of the Metallurgy
Sector. Furthermore, the security and availability of natural gas are
paramount for the operations of thermal power units, the
uninterruptible Aluminium of Greece (AoG) operations, and
MYTILINEOS participation in the energy and gas markets. Disruptions in
natural gas supply (e.g., sanctions, tariffs) could negatively impact the
Energy sector targets and increase the operational and financial costs
to cover and procure the needed quantities.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
The Metallurgy Committee and the Energy Council of MYTILINEOS meet
monthly to monitor the market dynamics of the supply and demand of
critical raw materials and the development of energy markets
(electrical power, natural gas, etc).
MYTILINEOS, to ensure the supply of critical raw materials, has
developed a diversified portfolio of bauxite resources, including
“owned” mines (Delphi Distomon) and multi-year contracts with
companies to supply the required bauxite quantities.
In addition, technological and vertical integration investments to
strengthen the business objectives of Metallurgy are completed that
include: a) the development and installation of a new unit to process
tri-hydrated bauxite and b) the acquisition of the Imerys Bauxite that
will increase the bauxite production capacity.
At an operational level, MYTILINEOS has policies and processes for
developing, monitoring, and adjusting the annual procurement plan for
raw materials to business needs.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS secures the supply of natural gas that is the
source for the operation of thermal power plants to participate in the
energy market and ensure the uninterrupted operation of AoG through
a diversified network of natural gas counterparties and oversees and
monitors the natural gas market to react and adjust to market changes
and secure the supply of natural gas on favorable terms.
MYTILINEOS ensures the accessibility to electrical power in favorable
terms through a competitive energy portfolio comprising our group's
existing assets (thermal, RES) and a basket of 3rd party RES PPA
contracts.

destruction or unavailability, has completed the installation and
gradual operation of a new direct line between H-Class and AoG Plant
to secure operations.
5. Investors
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not communicate
effectively, accurately or timely with its investors,
threatening its relationships.
D. Risk Analysis:
Maintaining investor confidence (shareholders, bondholders, credit
rating agencies, analysts, financial institutions) is fundamental for senior
management and the corporate culture of MYTILINEOS in order to
demonstrate its ability to execute the business plan and meet
operational and financial targets.
Moreover, investor interactions and engagement efforts are essential to
maintaining a positive outlook for MYTLINEOS and expanding the
interest of new investors, in light of the volatility and challenges of the
global economy (e.g., fears of recession, volatility of stock markets, etc.)
and the existing and emerging investor requirements.
In addition, the regulatory bar continues to rise, increasing the effort to
comply with new regulations and the pressure on Investor Relations
personnel to ensure that relevant market information is released to all
interest parties.
The structure of shareholders (retail investors, institutional investors,
hedge funds, shareholders activists) and the information needed from
the investor segments are important to develop a communication and
response strategy and, thus, increasing the complexity and the effort to
meet the expectations of the investor community.
Finally, MYTILINEOS is exposed to significant media coverage with
regular articles and reports. Potential negative communications could
trigger significant investor impact; thus, monitoring business
articles/sites and formulating response strategies to negative
publications are crucial to managing investor(s) concerns.
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our appetite for Investors Risk is low. Our scope is
to provide clear, transparent, and timely
information to investors and build a trusted
relationship with them.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Failure to report clear, transparent, and
timely information to investors.
2. Inability to anticipate and manage shifts in
the information investors expect.
3. Failure to monitor external media
communications that impact the
organization.

st
December 2023
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
To manage its relationships with the investment community
(shareholders, bondholders, credit rating agencies, analysts, financial
institutions), MYTILINEOS has various initiatives to ensure timely and
transparent information to investors.
More specifically, MYTILINEOS develops and conducts an investor
meeting plan every year, including roadshows, one-on-one interactions,
and plant/facility visits to inform the investors regarding the business
developments and answer any questions about plans and targets. The
Investor Relations Division provides feedback to MYTILINEOS senior
management regarding the meetings’ outcome and the key points of the
investment community.
Moreover, the Investor Relations Division monitors the coverage by
financial analysts and reports to the Financial Committee key points for
discussion purposes.
Finally, MYTILINEOS frequently updates the corporate presentation that
is available via the company's website, which includes key financial and
sustainability targets as well as sector and segment analysis to inform the
investment community.
C. Financial Risks
The following section provides an analysis of principal financial risks:
6. Commodities
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not plan or manage
unfavorable fluctuations in the price of
commodities leading to financial loss.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS operates in global markets and is exposed to commodity
price fluctuations that are market driven and determined by demand
and supply dynamics, economic growth, inventory balances,
speculative positions, regulatory affairs, government policies, etc.
Potential failure to plan or manage unfavorable fluctuations in
commodity prices could adversely impact MYTILINEOS’ future
financial performance.
More specifically, through its business activities, MYTILINEOS is
mainly exposed to risks arising from price fluctuations in Aluminium
(AL), Aluminium Oxide (OX) and raw materials, in natural gas, as well
as in CO2 emission allowances and scrap aluminium.
This type of exposure could negatively affect both revenues (e.g.,
metal prices at LME) and costs (e.g., natural gas prices).
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
We are exposed to the volatility of specific
commodities and important raw materials and
services prices (e.g. Aluminium, Alumina,
Natural gas), which are influenced by external
factors such as global economic conditions,
supply and demand. We are willing to accept
medium levels of Commodities Risk ensuring
that this risk is efficiently and effectively
managed implementing proactive measures
such as hedging.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
65
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of defined policies to provide
guidance for handling commodities prices.
2. Lack of monitoring activities to capture and
manage unfavorable market, regulation,
and country changes/events that may
affect the volatility of commodities prices.
MYTILINEOS maintains a diverse portfolio of commodities, assets,
liabilities, and currencies across several geographies as well as a
varied portfolio of customers and contracts that ensures resilience
and future profitability since the organization is less exposed to
adverse developments in a single market.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS continuously monitors, through various
channels, the current and anticipated developments in the
commodity markets that could potentially create the need to adapt
the organization’s overall commodities’ management.
MYTILINEOS aims to manage the effects commodity price
fluctuations could have on its revenues and costs through hedging
activities using various financial instruments. More specifically, the
Treasury & IR General Division hedges commodity price fluctuation s
based on annual budget forecasts as well as management’s decisions
and objectives.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS ensures that hedging activities are conducted
properly through Financial Risk Management processes that outline
appropriate approval flows, communication lines, open position
monitoring activities, reconciliation activities and counterparty limits’
management.
In addition, the Treasury & IR General Division performs a set of stress
scenarios (baseline & adverse) to hedging portfolio to assess and
communicate the effect where a potential adverse price movement
may trigger margin calls, thus creating liquidity ris k.
Finally, the Treasury & IR General Division presents monthly, new
developments in commodity markets, potential price evolutions
based on forecasts and analyses from major market institutions, new
hedging strategies and a summary of current open positions t o
MYTILINEOS’ Financial Committee.
7. Credit
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not manage effectively
credit incidents (e.g., default of counterparties,
credit rating downgrade, adverse credit market
conditions).
D. Risk Analysis:
Credit Risk entails the potential failure to effectively manage credit
incidents arising from the company’s business and financial market
transactions. In more detail, credit incidents and credit exposure may
arise from the sale activities of the Energy and Metallurgy Sectors and
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
66
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
We are subject to events such as default of
customer, credit rating downgrade, adverse
credit market conditions. We are willing to
accept medium levels of Credit Risk, from
engaging with customers and counterparties
established in various countries, in pursuit of our
strategic objectives, having regard to our policies
and procedures and a variety of limits.
the subsidiaries, the trading transactions in derivatives and other
financial transactions such as deposits, loans etc.
MYTILINEOS is exposed to credit risk through the possibility of a
counterparty default, a credit rating downgrade and/or an adverse
credit environment in general. As a result, credit risk related to non-
performance by customers, suppliers, and counterparties could
disrupt revenue and cash flows and increase the cost of collection,
settlement and replacement. Moreover, concentration on specific
counterparties, customer, suppliers or affiliated entities could have a
significant impact on the company’s financi als in the rise of a credit
incident, thus exposing itself to reputational and operational risks as
well as to financial risks through an increase to spreads, unfavorable
prepayment obligations, borrowing terms and cost of financing for
MYTILINEOS.
Furthermore, credit risk could be realized through an inability to
efficiently collect receivables that would cause significant bad debt
expense and/or excessive days receivables outstanding.
Finally, if any factors of credit risk were to materialize, MYTILINEOS’
financial condition, revenues and cashflows could be negatively
impacted.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS secures its access to sufficient debt funding sources and
builds strong relationships with lending institutions to meet future
obligations and manages effectively assets, liabilities and capital
requirements.
Furthermore, MYTILINEOS has Credit Risk policies and procedures in
place that guarantee transactions only with clients that are
characterized by appropriate creditworthiness. These policies are
accompanied by strict client selection criteria and by constan t
monitoring of the credit granted to them.
Moreover, Credit Risk is also managed/mitigated through credit
insurance policies with global insurance companies, receivables in
advance to a considerable degree, safeguarding claims by collateral
loans on customer reserves, receiving letters of guarantee and
quantitative and qualitative limits on cash reserves and cash
equivalents, derivatives, as well as other short term financial
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of effective credit management and
collections policies and procedures.
2. Obsolete/ inadequate Information systems
to support the credit management process.
3. Lack of certain limits and criteria (e.g., credit
rating) regarding the exposure of the
organization on each counterparty.

defined processes with clear roles and escalation protocols.

8. Interest Rates
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not plan for or manage
fluctuating interest rates leading to financial loss.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS faces interest rate risk arising from balance sheet
elements, such as liabilities (financing) and assets
(deposits/investments), as well as from project financing activities and
financial derivative transactions.
Moreover, macro developments and policy decisions at a regulatory
level (e.g., European Central Bank) may affect MYTILINEOS’s exposure
to interest rate risk.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS has established a policy for the management of interest
rate risk arising from the assets and liabilities in the company's balance
sheet. This policy includes a) concerning assets, MYTILINEOS invests its
cash mainly in short-term time deposits, so as to maintain the necessary
liquidity while achieving satisfactory return for its shareholders b)
concerning liabilities, MYTILINEOS structures its funding portfolio in
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our appetite for Interest Rates Risk is medium. We
seek to ensure efficient and effective management
of interest rate exposure by implementing
monitoring tools and using various derivatives
instruments, taking into consideration
fluctuations in interest rates.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report

C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of defined policies to provide guidance
for handling interest rate exposure.
2. Inability to identify timely optimal interest
rates in the marketplace, resulting in
unfavorable interest rate costs and returns to
the organization.
3. Exposure to rising interest rates.
consideration of desired liabilities’ proportion between fixed and
variable interest rates, market conditions, assessment of alternative
interest rate risk profiles, and market products characteristics
(duration, type, etc.), and. This is achieved either through direct
borrowing at a fixed rate or through the employment of interest rate
derivatives.
9. Foreign exchange
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not manage foreign
exchange exposures, such as contracts in which
the cash inflow and the cash outflow are in
different currencies or unfavorable fluctuations in
the currency of another market, leading to
financial loss.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS is exposed to Foreign Exchange Risk, through its
business activities that expand in various countries.
Failure to manage foreign exchange exposure, such as contracts in
which the cash inflow and the cash outflow are in different
currencies or unfavorable fluctuations in the pricing currency of
certain markets vs the domestic one (EUR), could lead to financial
loss.
More specifically, MYTILINEOS’ foreign exchange exposure lies
mainly with US dollar and originates from commercial transactions
in foreign currency and from net investments in foreign entities,
therefore changes in foreign exchange rates could adversely impact
cash flows, costs, projects’ profitability and eventually shareholder
returns.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS aims to manage the effects foreign exchange
exposures could have on its revenues and costs through hedging
activities, using various financial instruments. More specifically, the
Treasury & IR General Division performs foreign exchange hedging
for specific assets, liabilities or future commercial transactions
based on annual budget forecasts as well as management’s
decisions and objectives.
MYTILINEOS ensures that hedging activities are conducted properly
through Financial Risk Management processes that outline
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
The organization is exposed to fluctuations in
exchange rates (mainly USD) during business
operations, including sales/purchases of
aluminum and alumina, EPC contracts, natural gas
purchases. Our appetite for Foreign Exchange Risk
is medium and where possible foreign exchange
exposure is hedged.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Potential collapse of the currency in
countries where business is conducted will
expose the organization to loss.
2. Lack of technical knowledge and expertise to
manage Foreign Exchange Risk.
3. Lack of monitoring activities to capture and
manage unfavorable market, regulation, and
country changes/events that may affect the
volatility of foreign exchange rates.

monitoring activities, reconciliation activities and counterparty
limits’ management. The Treasury & IR General Division presents
monthly new developments that may impact on the organization’s
foreign exchange exposure, new hedging strategies and a summary
of current open positions to MYTILINEOS’ Financial Committee.
10. Liquidity
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not manage and monitor cash
flows leading to cash shortages and inability to cover
obligations and achieve strategic objectives.
D. Risk Analysis:
Liquidity risk is related to MYTILINEOS’s need to finance its
operations, meet payment obligations, and borrow funds at an
acceptable cost to support the strategic transactions, and
investment programs. In more detail, the risk may arise from various
sources and activities within the business model of MYTILINEOS,
such as inadequate cash flow management, business disruption,
increase in operational costs, unplanned capital expenditures,
inadequate management of working capital, inadequate monitoring
of debt payments, ineffective collection processes etc. The effect of
liquidity risk in case it becomes material may be multi-dimensional,
such as inability to meet growing capital expansion plans, breaching
bank loan terms and covenants, failure to procure critical
material/resources, mandatory prepayments of outstanding loans,
reduction of available credit lines, inability to pay wages, etc. In
addition, liquidity risk may affect MYTILINEOS evaluation by rating
agencies and thus increase the cost of financing its investment plans
or limit MYTILINEOS access to Capital Markets or alternative funding
sources. On the other hand, the effective management of liquidity
risk is an integral part of potential: a) improvement of net
profitability through reduced interest expense, b) implementation
of MYTILINEOS business expansion initiatives through the ability to
secure financings with more competitive terms (enhanced terms
with financiers and suppliers), c) improvement of the company’s
credit standing & outlook from credit rating agencies, etc. As a
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our appetite for Liquidity Risk is low. It is our policy to
ensure that a minimum level of cash is available at any
given time.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of defined policies to manage and optimize
assets, liabilities and cash flows.
2. Inability to maintain adequate cash flow and
liquidity position (including credit lines).
3. Inability to manage long-term financial liabilities.
4. Lack of monitoring payments made on a daily
basis.
5. Absence of cash flow analysis, inaccuracies in
cash flow projections and/or unauthorized cash
inflow / outflow is not identified.
6. Inability to meet obligations against borrowers /
suppliers due to ineffective Cash flow
management.

st

result, the relevant liquidity requirements are the subject of
continuous management through the meticulous monitoring of
outstanding debt, of any other long-term financial liabilities and also
of cash inflows and outflows.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS ensures that except from the operating cash flows
generated from the operations of the group, there is sufficient
liquidity comprising both from the cash and cash equivalents held,
as well as from available credit facilities covering potential short-
term business needs, and/or anticipated capital expenditure.
More specifically, MYTILINEOS implements a diversification strategy
in terms of funding sources, including bank lending, bond issuance,
and trade finance services, which are further diversified in terms of
duration and interest rates.
Moreover, the Treasury & IR and Finance General Divisions ensure
the timely monitoring and management of liquidity based on the
respective processes for developing, monitoring, updating, and
approving the Cash Plan, evaluating long-term loans, and managing
credit lines and terms. In addition, MYTILINEOS monitors specific
indicators and trends to measure and identify key areas of liquidity
risk such as debt maturity profile, cost of debt, trade receivables,
available credit lines, overall liquidity evolution etc.
Finally, during the monthly Financial Committee of MYTILINEOS, any
developments affecting the organization's liquidity are presented in
order to be analyzed and evaluated and respective decisions for
effective management of the liquidity risk are taken.

D. Operational Risks
The following section provides an analysis of principal operational risks:
11. People
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not attract, recruit and
retain human resources in order to ensure
achievement of its goals and objectives or fails to
create positive working environment due to lack of
effective communication with the labor force or to
ensure the continuation of critical operations due
to insufficient succession planning.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS relies on its employees and talent to achieve its
business, financial targets and objectives. The ability to attract,
develop, and retain a variety of skilled employees with the right mix
of soft and technical skills is critical to maintain our leading position
in the market, compete and grow.
Low levels of employee engagement, high employee turnover rates,
and inability to create a positive working environment could lead to
a loss of “know-how” and skills, to business disruptions, affect the
continuation of critical operations due to insufficient succession
planning, and reduce the confidence within the market and among
stakeholders.
In addition, the expansion of MYTILINEOS through acquisitions and
its presence in multiple geographical areas may create challenges
to onboarding new resources effectively, adjusting to societal
expectations and norms, and effectively communicating our
mission and purpose.
If this risk were to materialize, it could adversely impact the success
of MYTILINEOS’ strategic objectives and threaten its reputation and
the timely achievement of its commitments.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS aims to provide a positive working environment that
enables the development of its employees. To achieve this
objective and mitigate its People Risk, MYTILINEOS has adopted and
implemented the following:
i. Defined Human Resources Policies and Procedures.
ii. The identification of critical positions within the organization
and the development of the corresponding succession plans.
iii. Recruitment practices that ensure the selection of suitable and
competent executives through meritocracy and equal
treatment.
iv. The development of programs for formulating a uniform
corporate culture that is present across all levels of the
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
We have a low appetite for People Risk. Our
human capital is essential and it is our priority to
attract, hire and retain the appropriate talents, to
ensure a desirable working environment and an
effective labor relationship framework, as well as
to identify and develop future leaders.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Inability to identify, develop and implement
effective succession plans.
2. Failure to attract, hire and retain talents who
possess the skills, knowledge, competencies,
and experiences needed.
3. Employee performance is not measured and
evaluated and rewarded properly.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report

workforce and acts as the element that ensures cohesion and
consensus in the efforts to realize MYTILINEOS’ vision.
v. The implementation of employee training and development
programs aimed at strengthening personal and technical skills
and capabilities.
vi. The implementation of the year-long graduate programs,
which give the opportunity to young people to receive training
in real working conditions and acquire working experience
through their participation in complex and demanding
MYTILINEOS projects.
vii. The provision of incentives, in terms of compensation and
benefits as well as in terms of opportunities for advancement
and development, aimed to increase the employees’
commitment and retention.
viii. Regular performance reviews and feedback to enable
employee development and growth.
ix. Commitment to gender and generational balance and focus on
offering local opportunities.
x. Promotion of the Code of Business Conduct to all personnel
and ensuring employee awareness, and avoidance of direct or
indirect discrimination in all work practices.
12. Project Planning & Execution
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not monitor all critical
aspects for the effective/efficient completion and
delivery of projects, including budget, resourcing
aspects (e.g. staffing) as well as project aspects
such as key milestones, logistics, quality, and
product safety.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS' growth and expansion have led to a significant increase in
the volume and complexity of projects and partnerships with sub-
contractors / third parties, thus affecting its exposure to the risk of
ineffective project management, planning, and execution activities.
The potential failure to properly manage projects impacts the time,
cost, quality and safety of work and leads to failure to meet client
expectations which could result in legal disputes over contractual terms
and corresponding financial damages.
Moreover, potential delays or failure to deliver projects with significant
exposure could lead to reputational damage and failed business
relationships and thus to the loss of future business opportunities due
to reliability concerns.
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our Appetite for Project Planning & Execution is
Low. We seek to ensure efficient and effective
planning and execution in order to deliver our
projects according to predefined cost, schedule
and quality.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
76
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Cost and schedule overruns during the
execution of new projects or O&M activities
(e.g., industry 4.0, wind farms, photovoltaic
parks, CHP plant, etc.).
2. Delays in the delivery of the project.
3. Failure to effectively manage third parties
non adherence to contract commitments
(project withdrawal).
Additionally, potential failure to properly execute internal projects
could adversely impact the strategic objectives in terms of growth and
enhancement of operational efficiency.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
Proper project execution and delivery is a main priority for
MYTILINEOS, which is achieved through a robust project planning and
monitoring procedure and long-term, strong business relationships
with key stakeholders.
Planning, monitoring and reporting of project execution is achieved
through well-established and regularly reviewed and updated project
management processes.
MYTILINEOS clearly defines roles, responsibilities, milestones, and
corresponding tasks through the establishment of the projects’
governance prior to their initiation, ensuring optimal competency mix
in project teams and timely planning. Furthermore, preliminary project
review and project planning include risk identification and assessment
phases.
MYTILINEOS performs thorough assessments of its suppliers,
subcontractors and external partners before entering into any business
agreement. Also, processes are established to ensure that their
performance is being monitored throughout the execution of the
projects.
Moreover, project teams perform lessons learned reviews at the end
of each project to obtain an overview of the overall project execution
and results aiming to draw conclusions that would enhance future
project performance.
E. Legal & Regulatory & Compliance Risks
The following section provides an analysis of principal legal & regulatory & compliance risks:
13. Contractual
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization or the counterparties fail to
meet contractual obligations with potential effect
legal accountability or litigation.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS' diversification of activities and global expansion has led
to increased business deals and, thus, to contractual obligations with
business partners, clients, and vendors. The contractual risk could be
triggered due to ineffective internal processes, such as insufficient
engagement with end users, incomplete review and assessment of
contract terms, inability to assess the project complexity and risks,
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our appetite for Contractual Risk is low. We seek
to ensure that we sufficiently assess contractual
terms, fulfill our contractual obligations, monitor
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report

st

st

the contractors' compliance and manage adverse
changes in contracts.
absence of monitoring mechanisms to determine conformance with
contract terms, etc.
Potential failure to manage the contractual risk may affect the
organization in multiple ways, trigger other risk categories, and
significantly impact the overall risk profile of MYTILINEOS. More
specifically, the contractual risk may create financial losses due to
revenue losses or cost overruns, damage MYTILINEOS reputation,
affect its bargaining power, lead to lawsuits and regulatory fines, and
increase the operational effort to manage this risk.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
For the effective management of contractual risk, MYTILINEOS has
clear thresholds/representations for contract signing to ensure that
the interests of the company and potential risks are covered.
Moreover, through internal processes, MYTILINEOS ensures the
participation of the Legal, Contacts & Compliance Division in the
review and formulation of contractual terms and conditions during
the development of a new contract to secure the legal aspects of the
agreement properly.
However, in the case of complex cases and legal frameworks,
MYTILINEOS is supported by specialized legal firms to protect its
interests.
Finally, the business sectors of MYTILINEOS, in cooperation with the
Legal, Contacts & Compliance Division, monitor the contract life cycle
to prevent, identify, and manage possible deviations from contract
terms.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of personnel's "technical" competency
to address contracts' terms complexity and
requirements.
2. The organization fails to fulfill its contractual
obligations, exposing itself to litigation and
reputational damage.
3. The organization is unable to monitor the
contractors' compliance with Terms and
Conditions, exposing itself to financial loss.

The Group’s exposure in price risk and therefore sensitivity may vary according to the transaction volume and the price
level. The aforementioned analysis reflects the nominal exposure to the above factors and does not include any effect
from the use of contracts/forwards through which the Group hedges risk.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the European Directive on the disclosure of Non-Financial
Information and provides balanced information on the development of MYTILINEOS's relevant performances, as well as a
description of the main risks and challenges for sustainable development it faces, in line with its size and the complexity of its
activities.
1.1. Disclosure Requirements
This information (which is supplemented and completed by the issuance of the Company's Sustainable Development Report)
focuses on thematic aspects, as defined in the "Non-Financial Information Report" of circular 62784/2017, in accordance with the
provisions of Law 4403/2016 in conjunction with the provisions of Law 4308/2014 concerning the Material issues of sustainable

1.2. Reporting Period & Boundaries
The information contained in this Report pertains to the fiscal year 2023 (from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023). The Report
includes data from all activities that determine the key impacts of MYTILINEOS on Sustainable Development. Specifically, from its
two business sectors, Energy and Metallurgy, the main subsidiary companies within Greek territory, the Renewable Energy Sources
(RES) subsidiary companies that are in definitive operational status, the RES units and the construction sites maintained through
the Energy sector in foreign countries, as well as the subsidiary companies where MYTILINEOS holds a participation of more than
50%, unless otherwise stated, as mentioned in this Annual Report.
The Report does not include non-financial information from the Zinc/Lead activity of the Metallurgy sector, as well as from the
subsidiary companies UNISION and Watt & Volt (except for the number of employees), which were acquired within 2023 and are
in the process of integration and alignment of their policies and procedures with MYTILINEOS's sustainable practices and recording
systems. This also includes a training process for their inclusion in the company's central system for collecting, evaluating, and

2. Sustainable Development
2.1. Sustainable Development Management
Over the years, MYTILINEOS has developed a structured approach to Sustainable Development management. The key stages of
this approach, as presented below, facilitate the integration of environmental, social, and ethical issues which are significant to
the Company, into its business strategy and operations:
Identification: The Company leverages all available resources to identify Sustainable Development issues that could
potentially impact its ability to generate value.
Prioritization: On an annual basis, the Company assesses the impacts of each identified issue on Sustainable
Development, considering the opinions of its stakeholders, and prioritizes them as "material".
Validation: Subsequently, the material issues, through the Sustainable Development Governance system, are approved
by top management.
Development: At the next stage, the issues are integrated into the Sustainable Development/ESG Initiatives Repositories
of the Sectors and subsidiaries of the Company, and actions are developed for their management.
Understanding: Individual actions and initiatives are integrated into day-to-day corporate business practices to achieve
the desired purpose.
Disclosure: The Company annually publishes a Sustainable Development and ESG Performance Report to communicate
the progress of initiatives and its strategy.
2.2. Sustainable Development Strategy
MYTILINEOS's Sustainable Development strategy ensures that its business activities are conducted in a way that creates
sustainable value for shareholders and other stakeholder groups. This commitment aligns with the Company's dedication to the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030) and is implemented through three interconnected pillars, governed
by specific Principles ensuring integrity (Materiality Principle), quality (Stakeholder Engagement Principle), and transparency
(Accountability Principle) across its entire range of activities.
Specifically:
1st Pillar - Climate Change: Demonstrates the company's commitment to addressing climate change and adapting its operations
to its impacts. MYTILINEOS stands out as the first company in the Greek industry to set clear, ambitious, and strict targets for
reducing its carbon emissions by 2030. Additionally, it has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, making the
reduction of its carbon footprint a central element of its Sustainable Development strategy.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
83
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
2nd Pillar - ESG Approach: Focuses on the integrated approach to identifying and managing risks and opportunities arising from
the three most significant non-financial factors of the Company (Environment - Society - Governance) to ensure sustainability and
enhance its ability to create long-term value. This way, MYTILINEOS responds to the contemporary requirements of the investment
community, capital markets, and financial institutions, as well as the increasing expectations of society for transparency on these
issues.
3rd Pillar - Corporate Responsibility: Reflects the Company's responsible operation, cultivated systematically over the past 16
years, through its commitment to the 10 Principles of the United Nations Global Compact. Corporate Responsibility is a continuous
process of self-improvement and uninterrupted learning for MYTILINEOS, serving as a primary mechanism for renewing the
"social" acceptance of its operation, simultaneously improving its competitiveness on both national and international levels.
2.3. Global Goals as part of MYTILINEOS's Business Strategy
Since 2016, MYTILINEOS has identified the relevance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to its busines s
activities. It has pinpointed ways to contribute to their achievement proportionate to its operations. Consistently contributing to
the attainment of 40 sub-goals, the company aligns with six core directions, decoding its overall strategy as presented in Section
2.2 Sustainable Development Strategy:
1. Addressing Climate Change:
MYTILINEOS supports the transion to a new socio-economic model that is climate-neutral, resilient,
sustainable, and inclusive. Within this framework, the company has highlighted Global Goals 7
(aordable and clean energy) and 13 (climate acon) as its key strategic priories. This is manifested
through an ambious investment plan in Renewable Energy Sources and specic iniaves to reduce
overall carbon emissions (CO
2
) by -30% by 2030, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050.

2. Responsible and Sustainable Industrial Activity:
As one of the leading industrial and energy companies, MYTILINEOS invests in the circular economy,
digitization, innovative waste utilization methods, and the implementation of "clean" industrial
practices. This is achieved through participation in over 25 European research programs.
Simultaneously, the company consistently enhances employment in the domestic industrial sector,
creating conditions for a responsible supply chain across all its business sectors. In doing so, it actively
contributes, proportionally, to Global Goals 9 (industry & innovation) and 12 (responsible consumption
and production).
3. Promoting Safe & Productive Employment:
In line with its contribution to Global Goal 8 (decent work and economic growth), MYTILINEOS
promotes and ensures safe and healthy working conditions for its directly and indirectly employed
workforce, focusing on prevention. All its production units have Health & Safety Management systems
(ISO 45001:2018) certified by independent bodies. From the early stages of the pandemic, the company
implemented a comprehensive action plan focusing on protecting its employees and their families,
ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the business. While continuing its economic growth, the company integrates new policies
and practices to enhance full and productive employment, creating dignified job positions without discrimination.
4. Commitment to the protection of the natural Environment:
Within the framework of the company's commitment to further reduce its environmental footprint, Best
International Practices are implemented for the proper management and minimization of environmental
impacts per Business Activity Sector. Investments are made in upgrading the production process,
leveraging new technologies. Almost all company production units have environmental management
systems certified with the latest international standards (ISO 14001:2015) and environmental restoration
plans for exploitable areas, contributing directly to Global Goals 6 (water management), 14 (life below
water), and 15 (life on land).
5. Consistency in Social Responsibility:
MYTILINEOS contributes indirectly to other Global Goals through the consistent implementation of its
social policy with actions and initiatives that enhance harmony with local communities and broader
society. For the 2020-2025 period, aiming to benefit 250,000 individuals through its social policy, the
company continues to invest in local employment and economy by creating new job positions (Goal 1),
supporting local suppliers and infrastructure (Goal 11), reducing food insecurity for vulnerable social
groups (Goal 2), implementing programs for health promotion (Goal 3), conducting educational programs
on new technologies in schools, and developing professional skills for the younger generation (Goal 4).

6. Promotion of inequality mitigation:
As MYTILINEOS grows, it promotes workplace policies and practices that enhance equal opportunities,
respect for human rights, and gender equality. This includes increasing women's participation at all
hierarchical levels, integrating workers under 30 (thirty) years of age into its workforce, and efforts to
integrate people with disabilities into the labor market, directly contributing to Global Goals 5 (gender
equality) and 10 (reduced inequalities).
Further details regarding MYTILINEOS' contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are available in the company's
2023 Sustainable Development Report https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/reports/
2.4. Materiality Analysis
MYTILINEOS has a primary criterion for the disclosure of information related to environmental, social, and ethical issues that are
crucial both for the company and its stakeholders. The identification of material issues is a dynamic practice that is continuously
reviewed, serving as a fundamental tool for MYTILINEOS's responsible operation while contributing to the enrichment and
formulation of its Sustainable Development strategy.
According to MYTILINEOS's Sustainable Development management system, the identification and determination of material issues
occur biennially, both internally and externally, with intermediate internal reviews, considering changes in the business
environment, the specificities of business sectors, and trends in the needs and expectations of its stakeholders.
In addition to the established sources
8
used in the exercise of Sustainable Development for Material issue identification, sources
of information allowing the company to identify additional material issues include:
i) ESG criteria used by institutional investors and asset managers for selecting their investment portfolios.
ii) ESG requirements utilized by specialized indicators and assessment organizations for analyzing the Company.
iii) Publications and recommendations issued by international organizations influencing the scope of an ESG-related topic.
iv) ESG requirements expressed by customers within the daily business relationships and transactions of the Company.
During the implementation of the process in 2023, the Company applied the stage of internal review of the results of the 2022
process with the participation of its key business units. The findings of this internal exercise were combined with the corresponding
findings of the survey conducted on more than 2,400 individuals, entities, and organizations from all the groups of the Company's
Stakeholders in 2022, focusing on the same recognized issues.
The validation of the Material Issues and the final approval for their disclosure in the Annual Report and Sustainable Development
Report of the Company were provided by the Sustainability Committee. In a special session, the detailed steps of the relevant
methodology and the individual results were presented.
According to the results of the process, the Material Sustainability Issues of the Company for the year 2023 are as follows:

3. Administrative Approach
3.1. Policies & Certified Management Systems
Today, more than ever, stakeholders, customers, consumers, and even potential employees and investors closely scrutinize
companies' commitment to Sustainable Development. In this direction, the development and adoption of corporate Sustainable
Development policies has become increasingly crucial.
MYTILINEOS has a set of corporate policies that express the guiding principles governing the actions of its Business Sectors and
subsidiaries, as well as the actions of its executives, staff, and employees within the framework of its overall business str ategy and
the Sustainable Development strategic directions that govern it. The primary goal is to uphold the Company’s commitment to
economic growth, enhance social cohesion, and protect the natural environment by recognizing and managing the major risks and
leveraging the corresponding opportunities in all key sustainability issues.
For MYTILINEOS, the development and incorporation of Sustainable Development policies are not merely ethical pursuits but are
considered vital for its long-term success and competitiveness, as well as for enhancing its ability to create value at all levels:
In economic level the Company’s policies contribute to improved operational efficiency and cost savings, such as the adoption of
energy-saving measures or the reduction of carbon emissions, leading to significant financial resource savings in the medium an d
long term.
In social level the policies enhance the Company’s relationships with its social partners, from employees to local communitie s,
resulting in the attraction and retention of specialized talents and maintaining social acceptance of its operations within local
communities.
In environmental level through its policies, the Company mitigates its environmental footprint by reducing the risk of resource
depletion and pollution of natural resources, thereby avoiding future regulatory sanctions. This not only protects the company
from potential future obligations but also enhances its reputation among customers and consumers who are increasingly aware
of the environmental impacts of their purchases.

3.3. Basic Results of Policies
The following are the key outcomes of the implementation of above-mentioned policies and management systems for the year
2023 on each substantive topic of the Company's Sustainable Development:
Climate Change (energy & air emissions): Despite a recorded increase, the total absolute direct and indirect CO2 emissions (scope
1 & 2) continue to show a reduction of ~7.6% compared to the base year 2019. Concurrently, all initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions
in the Business Sectors were continued, along with the implementation of the Company's Renewable Energy Investment Plan.
Specific measures were taken to save electrical energy, while the update of the risk and opportunity analysis and management
study related to climate change is underway, based on the recommendations of the TCFD initiative, following the Company's
recent transformation.
Pollution Prevention: There were no significant incidents of pollution of the natural environment due to productive activities, nor
were there industrial accidents in the overall activities of the Company.
Water Management: The withdrawal and discharge of water from the Company's activities in 2023 were within the limits indicated
by the relevant environmental permits for each core installation. No issues were identified that could affect or threaten the
adequacy of available water in the aquifer horizon, nor any water source of high value for biodiversity conservation or significant
for local communities. Regarding the disposal of liquid waste, efforts to manage them in the best possible way continued, bot h to
protect the natural environment and for the benefit of human health.
Occupational Health and Safety: The reinforcement of awareness and training of employees continued, along with measures to
identify and address Health and Safety risks in the workplace. Despite efforts, the goal of achieving zero accidents was not attained
in 2023, as an accident occurred involving a contractor worker of the Company. Regarding other targets, no injuries with serious
consequences for the lives of employees or occupational diseases in directly and indirectly employed personnel of the Company
were recorded. The frequency rates of work-related accidents
9
and total accidents for directly employed workers moved upward
9
>=3days / 200.000 working hours

within the acceptable limits of the Company's annual goals, while the values of the corresponding indicators for indirectly
employed workers showed improvement compared to the previous year. The commitment to further develop a culture of health
and safety remains strong, both among the Company's employees and its main suppliers and contractors.
Employment and Labor Practices: As an industrial company, we increased the overall employment rate (direct and indirect) by
21.0%, maintaining incredibly low rates of part-time employment (1.6%). We continued to invest in the development of technical
and personal skills of our employees, managing to increase the coverage rate of human resources participating in general and
targeted professional training programs from 47% in 2022 to 56% in 2023, despite the 26% increase in the company's direct total
workforce. Additionally, the gradual implementation of the Performance Management Program, which is linked to corporate goals
as well as corporate results, it continued well into 2023. Moreover in 2023, 3 out of 10 employees were covered by corporate
collective bargaining agreements.
Human Rights, Equal Opportunities, and Diversity: For MYTILINEOS, the protection of Human Rights is a commitment and an area
of continuous monitoring to ensure that challenges capable of jeopardizing its overall approach based on its Human Rights Policy
do not arise. Equal Opportunities are equally important as an aspect of Human Rights, with the company recognizing the need to
develop a relevant Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy and working towards that direction. Furthermore, true to its
commitments, in 2023, MYTILINEOS continued to assess human rights risks in its activities, projects, and investments, as well as
in the supply chain, both within and outside Europe, where 15 cases of organizational behavior were recorded. These were
promptly investigated, and appropriate corrective actions were taken, as it was acknowledged that they could potentially
undermine the creation of a positive work environment. In the direction of preventing the recurrence of similar incidents, actions
were continued to ensure a favorable work environment that promotes equal opportunities, prohibits discrimination, enhances
diversity and inclusion, thus adopting a people management model committed to both professional excellence and the adoption
of policies and actions to promote work-life balance and reduce the gender pay gap.
Responsible Supply Chain: In 2023, the evaluation of the existing key suppliers of the Company continued, with the
implementation of environmental, social, and governance criteria yielding incredibly good results. Concurrently, for the fourth
consecutive year, the educational program for Sustainable Development, implemented by the Company for its Greek suppliers,
continued. The focus of the education was the new Responsible Supply Chain Policy adopted by MYTILINEOS in 2023. Additionally,
the development of a corporate digital platform was completed, through which the evaluation of key suppliers will be conducted,
enhancing transparency of the overall approach, optimizing feedback to the suppliers themselves, allowing comparability of their
performance at the level of their business activity sectors, with the aim of developing targeted support actions.
Sustainability of Local Communities: The Company manages any negative impacts of its activities on local communities, starting
with effective communication and collaboration with them. In 2023, based on mechanisms to record any negative impacts from
the business sectors and subsidiaries of the Company, no adverse effects on a social, economic, or environmental level that
significantly affect the well-being of local communities neighboring the Company's production units were reported. The
consultation process with social partners at the central level continued, maintaining high rates of local employment for another
year. Additionally, 26 key social programs and special social initiatives were implemented at both central and local levels,
benefiting more than 96,000 citizens, contributing across the entire social spectrum of the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals.

applied in the Procurement Departments of the Company's Business Sectors, examining both partner selection and all types of
transactions, no confirmed cases of corruption were reported. There were no incidents of corruption leading to the dismissal or
disciplinary prosecution of employees for corruption-related reasons, confirmed incidents leading to the termination or non-
renewal of collaboration with partners. Furthermore, no public legal cases related to corruption against the Company, or its
employees were confirmed.
Regulatory Compliance: Operating in full harmony, compliance, and adherence to the applicable legislation in each area or country
of operation, as well as implementing control and compliance measures with legal and regulatory requirements related to
MYTILINEOS's activity, resulted in the absence of non-compliance incidents with legislation and its related impact on
environmental, social, and economic levels in 2023. Regular reviews and evaluations of compliance are conducted, training on
relevant regulatory compliance issues is implemented, such as data protection, the Code of Ethics application, corruption, and
bribery prevention, etc. Additionally, a whistleblowing platform and investigation system are in place.
Cybersecurity: Based on the overall assessment results of MYTILINEOS' Information Security Program for the year 2023, the
achievement level of goals set for maintaining an adequate level of cybersecurity, smooth operational function, protection of
corporate and personal data, and compliance with current regulatory requirements is considered highly satisfactory. This
contributes to the company's broader strategy for Sustainable Development and the preservation of the rights of stakeholders.
Ecological Impacts: No incidents of non-compliance with environmental legislation and related regulations were recorded, thereby
avoiding any direct significant economic impact and effects on the company's image and reputation. Simultaneously, no incidents
of biodiversity degradation were reported from the company's activities. Mining activities continued in a responsible and
sustainable manner, with the restoration rate of the total usable area reaching approximately 87% in 2023 (compared to 85% in
2022), without committing to new areas. Additionally, there were no incidents of bird fatalities.
3.4. Sustainable Development Governance
MYTILINEOS recognizes that effective governance structures for relevant issues are required to integrate Sustainable Development
into the core of its corporate philosophy and operations. In this direction, the company has developed a specific structure,
progressively improving it to ensure that Sustainable Development principles and strategies are clearly, responsibly, and
transparently incorporated at all levels of the business. Simultaneously, the company promotes continuous improvement and
innovation.
The Sustainable Development Governance structure of MYTILINEOS:

5. Climate related issues
5.1. Company Commitment
MYTILINEOS recognizes that climate change is a global issue that requires urgent and collective action, as it constitutes the most
significant environmental challenge due to the rapid planet warming caused by human activity (greenhouse gas emissions). The
company, primarily engaged in the energy and aluminum production sectors – activities historically associated with high energy
demands and a significant carbon footprint – has made the adaptation of its activities to the consequences of climate change and
the implementation of initiatives to address it a key pillar of its Sustainable Development strategy. In this context, in 2021, the
company decided to renew its organizational structure and operating model to align with and support its business strategy in
addressing climate change, contributing to the necessary national and global efforts.
In accordance with the measures adopted in the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Goal
7: Affordable and Clean Energy & Goal 13: Climate Action), MYTILINEOS actively commits to contributing to the creation of a low-
pollution economic environment. This commitment enhances its ability to generate sustainable value and is manifested through
a specific Action Plan for energy transition. This plan reflects the company's integrated approach to mitigating the impacts of
climate change, with the ultimate goal of significantly reducing carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by
2050.
Following the disclosure of its climate commitments, MYTILINEOS also focuses on aligning itself with the recommendations of the
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures TCFD
10
, by the Financial Stability Board. The target is to better integrate the
issue of climate change into governance, strategy, and risk management processes, assessing the impact of potential climate risks
(physical and transition) on its financial position, as well as the corresponding opportunities related to its business model and
activities. The company has already begun adapting to each of the four thematic areas of TCFD recommendations: Governance,
Strategy, Risk Management, Indicators, and Targets.

5.2. Strategy & Policy
Climate Change, as a strategic pillar of the Company's Sustainable Development, focuses on a) the voluntary contribution
of the Company to addressing the phenomenon, b) strengthening practices that ensure the resilience and continuity of
its activities, and c) leveraging emerging business opportunities within the framework of energy transition. In this
context, MYTILINEOS's key strategic priorities include:
i. Adapting the Company's activities to the consequences of climate change by regularly analyzing the impacts,
risks, and corresponding opportunities.
ii. Implementing, monitoring, and reviewing initiatives and corresponding reduction targets for CO
2
emissions and
carbon neutrality for 2030 and 2050.
iii. Integrating climate goals into strategic planning and decision-making processes.
iv. Executing an ambitious plan for investments in Renewable Energy Systems (RES) by 2030.
v. Developing strategic partnerships for the implementation of innovative technologies in production activities,
aiming to reduce CO
2
emissions intensity.
vi. Further emphasizing the circular economy. Aluminum is an extremely recyclable metal, and increasing the
production of recycled aluminum will significantly contribute to reducing carbon intensity in production
activities.
vii. Further expanding its business activities in Sustainable Development projects (Renewable Energy and Energy
Storage).
Additionally, MYTILINEOS has developed a Central Environmental Policy, with a particular emphasis on addressing
climate change, to strengthen and promote its climate commitments. Key elements of this policy include:
i. Setting and revising medium and long-term targets for the reduction of carbon emissions, aiming to reduce
total CO
2
emissions (scopes 1 & 2) by 30% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
ii. Identifying key categories, measuring, and establishing reduction targets for indirect CO
2
emissions (scope 3).
iii. Implementing and revising key initiatives to reduce the Company's carbon footprint by Business Sector.
iv. Responsible energy use through enhancing energy efficiency and conservation.
v. Addressing the risks and challenges of climate change, as well as adapting the Company's activities to the
related impacts by developing appropriate action plans.
vi. Disclosing detailed information on climate change management in accordance with international standards.
5.3. Resilience to the Consequences of Climate Change
Achieving a climate-resilient business model involves assessing how climate change creates new risks or opportunities
or alters existing ones. MYTILINEOS monitors and manages the impacts of climate change with a particular focus on
analyzing proposed climate "scenarios" to understand potential risks to its activities. Specifically, the company has
processed three different scenarios, each describing a different climate future in terms of greenhouse gas emissions
volume and concentrations in the atmosphere. These scenarios ultimately depict the severity and intensity of the noted
climate change as a function of climate change mitigation policies. These scenarios are based on the Network for
Greening the Financial System (NGFS) scenarios and their underlying assumptions that incorporate both transition risk
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
96
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
variables and natural risks. Specifically, the scenarios are based on the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP)
scenarios developed in the context of the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) and are briefly presented below:
Weak/Lax Policies Scenario: This scenario assumes a world where actions to mitigate climate change are
delayed. Consequently, greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase in the 21st century, and the average
global temperature rises by over 3°C by the end of the century. Climate ri sks and opportunities are primarily
associated with natural impacts, as both chronic and acute consequences of climate change are significant. For
the quantitative analysis of these risks and opportunities, climate and economic data from scenarios developed
under RCP8.5 were used.
Current/Existing Policies Scenario: This is an intermediate scenario, assuming a market-driven transition to a
lower-carbon future, following the Paris Agreement. The climate mitigation policies are stronger compared to
the previous scenario, leading to an increase in the average global tem perature between 2°C and 3°C by the
end of the century. Climate data used for the quantitative analysis of risks and opportunities are derived from
scenarios developed under RCP4.5.
Strong Policies Scenario (Net-Zero): The Net-Zero Emissions scenario incorporates robust climate mitigation
policies, indicating a pathway for carbon concentrations that allows the global energy sector to achieve net-
zero CO2 emissions by 2050. It aligns with limiting the rise in global temp eratures to 1.5°C by the end of this
century, with little or no temporary overshooting of the predetermined warming level. Climate data used for
the quantitative analysis of risks and opportunities are derived from scenarios developed under RCP2.6.
When, during the process, the scenarios indicated significant potential risks and/or opportunities for the Company, an
assessment of their economic impacts was conducted to better understand their scope for MYTILINEOS.
In conclusion, although the analysis revealed risks of varying intensity under each scenario, MYTILINEOS's diversified
business model can be characterized as resilient to the impacts of climate change for the following reasons:
i. It has strong synergies among its business segments, and decentralized production with strict cost control
ensures robust financial performance despite unprecedented volatility in energy prices.
ii. It possesses structures, strategies, and policies that allow it to adapt and continue to operate effectively despite
the increasing challenges posed by climate change.
iii. It is characterized by flexibility in resource management, supply chain reviews, and the ability to adapt to best
practices that reduce environmental footprint and enhance resilience.
iv. It integrates Sustainable Development into its core activities and operations.
v. It promotes innovation, leverages technological progress, and actively manages risks.
5.4. Identification and Management of Climate Risks and Opportunities
As mentioned earlier, MYTILINEOS explores and prioritizes the risks and opportunities associated with climate change
that may affect its activities, following the TCFD guidelines and focusing on three "climate" scenarios. The analysis
primarily concentrates on existing industrial facilities in Greece and projects owned by MYTILINEOS, as it was deemed
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
97
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
crucial to assess climate-related risks and opportunities in these cases. The identified risks and opportunities were
evaluated based on the following key criteria and their respective variables.
i. The criterion of the significance of the consequences that may arise from climate risks and opportunities,
considering the following variables:
Time horizon: short-term (up to 2025), medium-term (up to 2030), and long-term (up to 2050).
Their economic impact.
ii. The criterion of the level of certainty that the identified risks and opportunities will occur, considering the
following variables:
The extent to which the risk or opportunity can be quantified through the examined climate scenarios.
The variability of operational parameters related to climate risks and opportunities, based on the different
climate scenarios considered.
The direction and/or rate of change of parameters related to climate risks and opportunities.
The analysis process
11
highlighted three significant risks, two transitional and one physical, as well as four opportunities
that may have varying degrees of impact on the revenues and/or operational costs of the Company and its two sectors,
Energy and Metallurgy.
Potential Transitional Risks (in the RCP4.5 scenario and primarily in the RCP2.6 scenario):

Measures and strategies implemented for the management and mitigation of climate risks:
MYTILINEOS has developed a comprehensive strategy to address climate change, guiding its initiatives to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions as outlined in the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (CoP21),
and Greece's corresponding National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), which defines Greece's contribution to
the European Green Deal. MYTILINEOS' strategy for emission reduction goals was disclosed in February 2021,
following the International Energy Agency's (IEA) scenario for limiting the increase in the planet's average
temperature well below 2 degrees Celsius.
MYTILINEOS has adopted specific initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint, detailed in the section titled "Climate
Goals & CO2 Emission Reduction Initiatives."
The Company's Business Sectors closely collaborate with the Central Regulatory Affairs Division, which holds a
strong presence in the EU. This department actively participates in initiatives or associations that take positions
on any policy, law, or regulation that may impact the climate. Specifically, the Company's Central Regulatory
Affairs Division interacts with policy makers by sending relevant documents or occasionally through direct
meetings to ensure they are aware of and understand the Company's positions, as well as proposed
improvements to legislation.
MYTILINEOS implements pre-market emission offset mechanisms through the Central Finance Division while
enhancing collaborations between its Business Sectors. For example, supporting the Metallurgy Sector in
shaping an alternative "energy basket" and transitioning to green energy from the Energy Sector.
The Company expands its portfolio of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) through the Energy Sector, aiming to
increase its market share in the electricity market. In the Metallurgy Sector, actions to improve energy efficiency
and the design of processes to reduce direct emissions are planned and implemented.
MYTILINEOS applies systematic procedures for monitoring and compliance with legislation, obtaining
greenhouse gas emission permits as required by law and submitting relevant reports. The Company also
participates, through the Energy and Metallurgy Divisions, in the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU
ETS) since 2013. Additionally, the Company has installed all necessary systems for regular monitoring of CO2,
Fluoride, and PFCs emissions, as well as other air pollutants (NOx, SOx, and particles) through continuous
measurements. The Company systematically applies Best Available Techniques (BATs) in its production
processes and ensures proper maintenance and modernization of equipment.
In the Metallurgy Sector, a study continues for the installation of carbon dioxide emission capture systems at
the facilities of the plant Aluminum of Greece in collaboration with a leading company in the field globally.
The Company's financial planning incorporates tools related to climate risks and opportunities. In April 2021,
MYTILINEOS issued a Green Bond worth 500 million to finance future development with solutions contributing
to climate change mitigation. By the end of 2023, all proceeds from the Green Bond were allocated to 7 wind
projects, 52 solar projects, 2 acquisitions and 2 investments in secondary aluminium both in Greece and abroad.
More information is available at the link: https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance/
In addition, the Company implements the following measures:
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report

st
December 2023
Emergency Plans have been drafted for thermal power stations in cases of extreme natural events (heatwaves,
frost, storms, floods, etc.), along with specific flood studies for stations located near streams. Concerning the
operation of Renewable Energy Units, wind turbines are equipped with safety systems that halt generator
operation in case of strong winds, positioning their blades safely. Additionally, the surfaces (panels) of solar
collectors are hail resistant.
In the Metallurgy Sector, studies have been conducted for hazards related to accidents caused by natural
disasters and floods. Infrastructure has been constructed or improved to address the most extreme events, and
emergency plans have been created. A risk assessment study for water-related dangers due to climate change
has also been conducted.
Regarding the Company's international activities through the Energy Division, appropriate protection measures
are taken and implemented within the limits of facilities and construction sites.
5.5. Climate Goals and CO
2
Emissions Reduction Initiatives
MYTILINEOS has set the following central goal for reducing its carbon footprint by 2030 (with a baseline year of 2019) as
a milestone towards achieving its commitment to Net-Zero emissions by 2050.
Reduce by -30% the total direct and indirect CO
2t-eq
emissions (Scope 1 & 2) from all its activities.
To achieve this goal, the Company has developed specific overall and sector-specific targets, implementing specialized
action plans for each business segment. These plans focus on leveraging existing technology, fostering innovation, and
developing cutting-edge solutions, considering the unique characteristics of each activity and the current composition
of the country's energy mix. These plans are renewed annually in line with developments. More specifically, the
individual categories of actions for key initiatives include, but are not limited to:
Implementing strategic partnerships in the Renewable Energy sector.
Applying best practices and energy-saving initiatives.
Executing pilot programs and specific technical actions in production processes.
Optimizing existing processes through the introduction of technological upgrades where feasible.
Participating in European programs within the Company's R&D activities.
Monitoring emerging technologies for future implementation.
In the Metallurgy Sector, where the production process of primary aluminum is particularly energy-intensive, a key
objective is the significant reduction of indirect CO
2
emissions (Scope 2) through the use of renewable energy by 2030.
Simultaneously, the Company is investing in the production of recycled (secondary) aluminum, an activity perfectly
aligned with European standards, making a substantial contribution to addressing climate change. The production of
recycled aluminum diminishes the need for bauxite mining, a fundamental natural resource, and requires significantly
less energy compared to primary production. Consequently, it results in reduced greenhouse gas emissions per ton of
produced aluminum, thereby positively contributing to the global fight against climate change.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
100
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
The goals of the Metallurgy Sector until 2030 (with the base year being 2019) are:
Reduce total direct and indirect CO
2t-eq
emissions (scope 1 & 2) by -65%.
Achieve a -75% reduction in CO
2
emissions
(scope 1 & 2) per ton of produced aluminum.
The action plan to achieve these goals by 2030 includes six emissions
12
reduction initiatives.
Implementation of cutting-edge technologies and the utilization of digital industrial methods in the stages of
aluminum production.
Electrification of the Sector exclusively through Renewable Energy Sources.
Use of low-carbon emission fuels.
Increase in the production of secondary aluminum.
Increase in sales of hydrated aluminum.
Study on the application of carbon dioxide capture technologies.
In the Energy Sector, MYTILINEOS does not possess, in comparison to other energy production companies, coal-fired
power units that can be decommissioned. Therefore, it is challenging for the company to significantly reduce its direct
emissions. Additionally, setting an intermediate goal for the absolute reduction of total CO
2
emissions (scope 1 & 2) in
the Sector was not feasible, considering the upcoming operation of the new state-of-the-art 826MW high efficiency
Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant. Consequently, the company aims to reduce its carbon emissions per
generated MWh. MYTILINEOS acknowledges that burning natural gas for electricity generation releases emissions such
as CO
2
and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. However, it recognizes the significant role of natural gas, considered a
transitional fuel (COP28 UAE), in the energy transition, as it is a less polluting alternative that can displace other fossil
fuels like coal and oil while ensuring a continuous supply of electricity. Moreover, the war in Ukraine has raised concerns
about energy independence and security. The most accessible path to reduce emissions in many countries has been
transitioning from coal to natural gas as a fuel source for electricity generation, and this trend is expected to continue in
many markets. In this direction:
1) The Company uses natural gas as a more environmentally friendly choice both in the short and medium term
to support the gradual transition from coal and oil to renewable energy sources. The technologies of these
sources continue to evolve and become progressively more economically sustainable.
2) The company's natural gas power generation units can quickly adjust their production capacity, ensuring a
stable energy supply to the domestic grid when renewable sources such as wind and solar are not available due
to weather conditions. This flexibility supports the integration of more renewable energy sources into the
energy mix.
3) The use of natural gas, both in gaseous and liquefied form by the Company, with the capability of transportation,
enhances both domestic and European energy security.
Additionally, the Company continues to complete the construction of the first phase (180MW) of the Greek Portfolio of
~1.5GW photovoltaics, which has gradually begun operation, while the construction of the second phase of the Greek

Portfolio with a capacity of ~700 MW starts within 2024. Concerning the international portfolio, MYTILINEOS is currently
constructing over 2GW of photovoltaic projects outside Greece, expected to be operational in the near future.
The goal of the Energy Sector
13
until 2030 (with the base year 2019) is:
Reduction of approximately 50% in direct and indirect CO
2
emissions (scope 1 & 2) per generated MWh.
The action plan to achieve the above goal by 2030 includes six initiatives
14
for emission reduction:
Continuous development of the Renewable Energy Portfolio.
Use of renewable energy in the buildings of the Energy Sector, either by forming Power Purchase Agreements
(PPAs) with renewable energy suppliers or by directly installing renewable energy sources and energy storage
capabilities.
Replacement of diesel generators with energy storage batteries at the construction sites of the Company's
projects.
Utilization of electric heat pumps to replace natural gas-based heating systems in office spaces within the
Energy Sector.
Replacement of all corporate vehicles in the Energy Sector with electric vehicles to reduce emissions from fuel
consumption.
Net-Zero Emissions by 2050
With the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, MYTILINEOS has incorporated into its Action Plan the
study of the feasibility of implementing the following key initiatives, contingent upon further maturation of innovative
technologies, aiming for a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions (scope 1) across all its activities:
Use of zero or low-carbon hydrogen.
Use of fuels with zero or low carbon emissions.
Implementation of carbon capture and storage technologies.
Application of Inert Anode technology in aluminum production.
Further increase in the production of secondary aluminum.
Electrification of mining operations to eliminate emissions from relevant equipment.
Offsetting the remaining emissions.
5.6. Progress of the main Climate Targets
Regarding the progress of total CO2 emissions (scope 1 & 2), the Company achieved an overall reduction of -7.6% during
the period 2019 – 2023, leveraging the decarbonization of Greece's energy mix, as well as the results of specific initiatives
aimed at reducing CO2 emissions in scope 1, within the production process of the Metallurgy Sector. Over the next two
years, the Company anticipates that its total emissions will fluctuate at higher levels compared to those of 2023, primarily
due to the full operation of the new thermal power unit producing electricity from natural gas and the commencement
13
Following the company's restructuring, the Energy Sector now encompasses the entire previous sector of Renewable Energy Development and Energy Storage Projects, as well as a
portion of the Sustainable Development Projects sector of the Company. These sectors had their own climate goals, which are now integrated into the overall target of the Energy
Sector.

of new conventional electricity production projects and infrastructure projects, covering the anticipated partial
reduction in scope 2 emissions. It should be noted that the estimation of these emissions has already been budgeted in
the initial goal-setting exercise, thus not expected to have a significant negative impact on achieving the overall target
(-30%) by 2030. From 2026 onwards, the significant renewable energy investment plan of the Company is expected to
substantially support the drastic reduction of indirect emissions by 2030, in conjunction with the implementation of
specific actions to reduce direct emissions, which will be at an advanced stage, such as the implementation of carbon
capture technology in the Metallurgy Sector, currently under st udy.
However, the Company's business growth over the past 2 years, in combination with its recent transformation, adds
new production units and services to its portfolio, which should be integrated within the framework of setting climate
targets to assess their potential impact. Furthermore, after 4 years of continuous monitoring of CO
2
indirect emissions,
scope 3, the Company intends to explore the possibility of setting targets in this emission category. For these reasons,
MYTILINEOS has scheduled its first official review of its climate targets by 2025, following best practices. The review
exercise will examine, among other things, the following issues:
- studying the specificities of the new business structure and their impact on climate targets,
- evaluating existing initiatives to reduce CO
2
emissions, in conjunction with the degree of utilization of available
technologies, to identify positive and negative elements,
- assessing the maturity of new technologies and their implementation possibilities,
- integrating new activities (acquisitions by the Company),
- changing the baseline year for targets (from 2019 to 2020),
- evaluating the possibility of alignment from the currently WB 2°C scenario to the 1.5°C scenario,
- confirming existing or setting new targets for scopes 1 & 2,
- exploring the possibility of setting Scope 3 reduction targets.

5.7. Energy Consumption & Air Emissions
MYTILINEOS calculates its direct and indirect emissions on an annual basis and publishes them in the Sustainable
Development and ESG Performance Report, which undergoes external assurance. The total CO2 emissions from scopes
1 and 2 for the Company in the fiscal year 2023 amounted to approximately 4,286 ktCO2e (2022: 3,922 ktCO2e),
recording a 9% increase from the previous year.
Total Energy Consumption
Energy consumption within MYTILINEOS is systematically monitored across all production units, office buildings, and
company premises. In 2023, the total energy consumption amounted to 58,198.5 TJ, showing a slight increase of 1.7%
compared to 2022. The 73% of this consumption is attributed to primary energy consumption from fuels (with 99% being
natural gas), and 27% to electricity and steam consumption.
Direct CO
2
Emissions (scope 1)
15
Direct carbon emissions (scope 1) come from sources (industry units or processes releasing greenhouse gas emissions
into the atmosphere) owned or controlled by the Company. Specifically, these emissions, amounting to >95%, originate
from the aluminum and aluminum production process (fuel consumption and chemical processing as part of the
production process), as well as from the electricity generation process (via natural gas consumption). Direct emissions
in 2023 amounted to 2,730 ktCO2e, recording a slight increase of 3.4% compared to 2022.
Indirect CO
2
Emissions (scope 2)
16
Indirect carbon emissions (scope 2) come from the production of electricity purchased by the Company for its own
consumption. Overall, indirect emissions (scope 2) in 2023 amounted to approximately 1,555 ktCO2e, showing an
increase of 21.4% from 2022, due to the increased conversion factor of consumed electricity into CO
2
equivalent
(calculated by RES & Guarantees of Origin Operator S.A., DAPEEP), resulting from the increased participation of lignite
and oil in the country's remaining energy mix and the simultaneous decreased participation of renewables. Additionally,
annual electricity consumption did not significantly change compared to the previous year, amounting to 2,913 GWh
(2022: 2,935 GWh), recording a slight decrease of 0.7%.
Other significant emissions
Regarding the remaining significant air emissions, these decreased compared to 2022. The total quantity of nitrogen
oxide (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SOx) emissions recorded a decrease of 11.1%. The quantity of emitted fluorine also
decreased by 9.2%, while a further reduction of approximately 15% in the quantity of particulate matter (PM) was
achieved.

consumption in the Company’s office buildings. All water withdrawals intended for production are strictly regulated by
government authorities, which issue permits and determine maximum withdrawal volumes to avoid significant adverse
impacts.
Company policies and commitments
Responsible management of water withdrawal, use, and disposal in accordance with MYTILINEOS’
Environmental Policy. Additionally, the responsible water management issue is also included in the Company’s
Human Rights Policy.
Voluntary participation of MYTILINEOS in the global Sustainable Development initiative CDP – Water Security,
through which it declares its commitment to responsible management of potential risks related to water
resources management from its activities.
Key Risks
Possible future changes in withdrawal limits and discharge parameters in the Environmental Permit Approval
Decisions for the Company’s industrial units, particularly in the Metallurgy and Electricity Business Sectors. This
involves a potential risk that could result in increased capital and operational expenses related to the
development of alternative water resources.
Actions for addressing and mitigating risks
In order to achieve more efficient water management, MYTILINEOS implements practices and continuous improvement
programs across all its core production units. Specifically:
Environmental Management System (EMS): MYTILINEOS adheres to ISO 14001-certified EMS, which facilitates
the management and handling of potential incidents. This includes creating plans to minimize leakage risks and
implementing predictive, preventive, and corrective measures to maintain water quality.
Groundwater Withdrawal: In the Metallurgy sector, MYTILINEOS withdraws water from shallow controlled
groundwater networks. This allows natural replenishment through rainfall, snowmelt, etc. (renewable sources).
Water Recycling and Reuse: MYTILINEOS implements recycling and reuse programs for water in production
processes or secondary uses to the maximum extent possible.
Risk & Impact Assessment: MYTILINEOS conducts risk and impact analyses in the underground aquifer of the
aluminum plant area, along with hydrogeological studies.
Cooling Towers: At the Agios Nikolaos Viotias energy complex, MYTILINEOS cools the power plant’s cooling
towers using a systematic method that utilizes rejected seawater from the Metallurgy sector. This approach
minimizes significant seawater withdrawal.
Internal Water Consumption Targets: MYTILINEOS sets annual internal targets for critical water consumption in
the sectors with the greatest impact. Additionally, methods for collecting and reusing rainwater are applied.
Strictly Controlled Monitoring of Water Discharge: MYTILINEOS ensures rigorous monitoring of water discharge
in all production units and subsidiaries to guarantee the quality of the discharged water. This adherence to
environmental regulations and terms is consistent with the environmental licenses obtained for the facilities.

.
Intensified Leak Detection: Intensive leak detection measures are implemented in the potable water network
within the aluminum plant and neighboring settlements. Collaborating with relevant technical services, this
effort resulted in a 10% reduction in potable water consumption for the plant in 2023 compared to 2022.
Quality Control of Processed Industrial Wastewater: Regular measurements of specific parameters are
conducted to assess the quality of disposed processed industrial wastewater. These measurements adhere to
the existing environmental regulations and water usage permits on an ongoing basis.
Results of Actions:
Water withdrawal and discharge from MYTILINEOS activities in 2023 were within the limits specified by the
relevant environmental permits for each core facility. No issues were identified that could significantly affect or
threaten the adequacy of available water in the aquifer horizon or any water source of high value for
biodiversity conservation or essential for local communities.
A total of 152.7 thousand ML of water were withdrew for use, which is 13.1 thousand ML less than in 2022.
Additionally, the quantity of treated water returned to water receptors after quality processing and in
accordance with approved environmental conditions per sector was 144.7 thousand ML. As a result, the overall
water consumption reached nearly 8.0 thousand ML, marking a 23.0% increase. However, freshwater
consumption decreased by 12.6% compared to 2022. The increase in total water consumption, despite reduced
freshwater usage, is attributed to the commissioning of the IPP-II power generation unit within the Agios
Nikolaos energy complex in 2023.

6.3. Circular Economy (Waste Management, Raw Materials, and Materials)
The main natural resources utilized by MYTILINEOS for the Metallurgy Sector are bauxite for the production of alumina
and aluminium on the one hand, and natural gas for the Energy Sector on the other, while the activities of infrastructure
construction, renewable energy development and energy storage projects do not involve the management of primary
natural resources, but the management of semi-finished or finished products. At the same time, the management of all
hazardous and non-hazardous waste, particularly bauxite residues, the reduction of waste to landfill, the reuse of water
and the proper management and reduction of water discharges are ongoing challenges for the Company.
Key Risks:
A significant environmental risk for the Company is the gradual reduction of available space for bauxite residue
disposal, which could have negative social and economic impacts.

Company policies and commitments:
The Company aims to reduce the production of hazardous waste from its activities and maximize their
utilization. Additionally, there is continuous reduction and proper management of solid and liquid waste
through recovery, reuse, and recycling techniques wherever feasible.
The application of Best Available Techniques (BAT) in the production process is a reference point, in line with
MYTILINEOS’ Environmental Policy.
Actions for addressing and mitigating risks
In the Metallurgy sector, MYTILINEOS:
Operates an aluminum recycling unit (through its subsidiary company EP.AL.ME), where the circular economy
is fully implemented. The long-standing expertise in optimal processing of recycled aluminum produces new
raw materials, consuming significantly less energy and contributing to the reduction of operational costs and
environmental impacts. The main waste product from the unit, which is ash, is entirely used as an alternative
raw material in cement production. Additionally, for every ton of recycled aluminum produced, it consumes 20
times less energy than what is required for primary aluminum production.
Has set ambitious targets regarding the production of secondary aluminum (65,000 tons) and the use of
recycled (scrap) aluminum by 2030.
Conducts Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies to evaluate potential environmental impacts from bauxite mining
and aluminum production, following ISO 14040 and 14044 standards. Maintains and utilizes specially designed
waste disposal, while the disposal of bauxite residues (non-hazardous waste, accounting for almost 66% of the
company’s total waste) is done in a specific method, based on geotechnical studies, following the natural
topography of the area.
The company invests in pilot units for research and development in utilizing bauxite residues. It participates in
European programs related to efficient green technologies for producing useful products and materials.
Additionally, it focuses on developing technology for extracting rare earth elements.
Promotes Recycling: The company promotes recycling by handling the majority of liquid waste within its
production process. Simultaneously, it operates three Biological Sewage Treatment Plants for urban
wastewater.
The Innovation Department of the Metallurgy Sector at Agios Nikolaos plant consists of three new sections: the Research
and Sustainable Development (RSD), the Digital Transformation and the Continuous Improvement. Until 2023, the RSD
section participated in 24 research programs co-funded by the EU and the Greek government through financial bodies
such as Horizon 2020/Horizon Europe, EIT Raw Materials, EIT Manufacturing, ERA-MIN 2, and GSRT. These programs
explore topics such as:
Bauxite Residue Utilization, producing scandium, iron, aluminum, cement additives, and construction materials
from bauxite residues.
Processing and Continuous Utilization of Hazardous Waste, addressing waste generated from the dismantling
of electrolysis cells at the end of their life cycle (carbonaceous and refractory materials).
Alternative Aluminum Production, producing aluminum from secondary sources.

Heat Recovery and Renewable Energy Use in Aluminum Production.
New Training Tools/Cycles for Engineers and Technicians in Raw Materials and Metallurgy fields.
Innovative Aluminum Recycling Technologies and Process Digitization.
The total funding for the Technology and Development Department (TDD) of the Metallurgy Sector at MYTILINEOS, from
research programs during the period 2017-2026, exceeds €11 million. Additionally, the company, through the Research
and Sustainable Development (RSD) section of the Innovation Department within the Metallurgy Sector, is positioned
among the pioneering global aluminum companies in the field of research for the utilization of bauxite residues and the
recovery of rare earth elements.
Furthermore, in 2023, MYTILINEOS, through its subsidiary Zeologic S.A., completed a study on the processing of alumina-
rich waste. The goal was to classify it as non-hazardous, with clear environmental benefits, allowing its use as raw
material for other industries without further processing.
In each Business Activity and subsidiary production unit:
Waste separation at the source is implemented, and waste collection networks operate for reuse and recycling.
In cases where internal recycling is not feasible, collaborations are established with alternative waste
management systems and licensed companies for waste collection, transportation, and disposal/utilization in
Greece and abroad.
The management of water discharges is fully controlled and is done through parameters defined by the
environmental regulations and terms, according to which the relevant environmental permits have been
obtained.
Results of Actions
In the Sector of Metallurgy, specifically at the Aluminum plant in Greece, which is responsible for 77% of the
company’s total waste production, the recycling rate increased to 85.5% in 2023 from 81.8% in 2022. The
quantities of non-hazardous waste, excluding bauxite residues and sterile decalcification wastes, sent for
further process by third parties remained at the high levels of 2022 (7,500 tons).
The percentage of solid waste that was reused, recycled, and utilized through various means, either by the
company itself or through third parties, decreased by approximately 6.7 percentage points and reached at
30.2% (2022: 36.9%) of the total waste (including bauxite residues).
The quantity of non-hazardous solid waste sent to landfills increased in 2023 and amounted to 3.4% (2022:
1.3%) as a percentage of the total non-hazardous solid waste produced (excluding bauxite residues that
undergo special processing).
In 2023, there was a decrease in the total quantity of the company’s solid waste by approximately 10%, mainly
due to the reduced production of Excavation, Construction, and Demolition Waste (EC&DW), almost 140,000
tons less, as a result of reduced construction activity within 2023 and, secondarily, due to the decrease in
bauxite residues and sterile decalcification wastes utilized by third parties. It is noted that the entire category
of waste was recycled or utilized by third parties.

88% consisted of bauxite, while the remaining 12% included aluminum scrap and the use of other raw materials from
non-renewable sources, such as soda and packaging materials.
In the Energy Sector (M Energy), specifically in the Energy Generation & Management division, the primary raw material
for the power generation units is natural gas, which serves as the transition fuel towards a lower greenhouse gas
emissions economy. The annual consumption of natural gas in the company’s thermal units is linked to fluctuations in
electricity production on an annual basis. In 2023, it increased by 12.2% (in Nm3) compared to 2022 due to the
commissioning of the IPP-II power generation unit at the Agios Nikolaos energy complex.

Key Risks
Indirect or Direct Accident Risks: Indirect risks create conditions leading to accidents (layout, functionality,
access - evacuation, lighting, air quality, presence of vibrations, noise, temperature environment of
workspaces). Direct risks lead to accidents or occupational diseases (physical, chemical, and biological factors).
Non-Accident Risks, which concern organizational, psychological, and ergonomic factors, not leading to
accidents but affecting the short-term or long-term mental and physical health of employees.
Company Policies and Commitments
MYTILINEOS continues to work continuously across all its Business Sectors, including its subsidiaries, to achieve the goal
of "ZERO ACCIDENTS AND ZERO OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS IN THE WORKPLACE," which is one of the main challenges in
the industry. The Health and Safety of employees constitute a fundamental and primary operational goal of MYTILINEOS'
activity. It is a line of responsibility that starts from the Management and the General Directorates and extends to

Company. Specific action plans, which are reviewed annually, aim to improve Health and Safety performance,
particularly in key production units. Furthermore, corresponding corporate targets support the strategy on issues
evaluated as significant for the Company as a whole, including the number of accidents and serious accidents, the
frequency of total recorded accidents, and the frequency of accidents causing work time loss. These central corporate
targets are scaled throughout the Company and monitored locally, along with any additional targets that may relate to
the specificities of each production unit.
Actions for Risk Management and Mitigation
The achievement of continuous progress and improvement in this specific area is a function of both the preventive
actions undertaken and the broader experiences gained by the Company from each incident and near-miss accident it
investigates, while employee training and development are crucial for maintaining and further developing a prevention-
oriented mindset. Across all Business Sectors and subsidiaries, an integrated management system for Health and Safety
at Work is implemented, aiming to minimize risks, continuously take measures to prevent accidents and occupational
diseases, provide ongoing training for employees, and strengthen the work culture. This system is based on and certified
according to the international standard ISO 45001:2018, covering, by the end of 2023, over 95% of the total industrial
units and RES units of the Company in normal operation, as well as all direct and indirect employees in the EPCs and
subsidiaries where it is applied. In detail:
Strict systems and measurements are applied, assessing their impact on employees, and identifying
intervention needs in offices and industrial units.

Consistent implementation of its social policy through actions and initiatives that enhance the harmonious
coexistence of MYTILINEOS with its local communities, as well as the broader society, in accordance with the
fundamental principles of the Company's Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.
Key Risks
The inability of the Company to timely identify and manage the often changing social, economic, and cultural specificities
of local communities may undermine the existing assumption that the Company is an integral part of them. This could
potentially impact the maintenance of social acceptance of the Company's operations, its reputation, and its strategy,
posing possible constraints on its future development with implications for its financial elements as well.
Actions for addressing and mitigating risks
MYTILINEOS's contribution to the Sustainable Development of its local communities is determined by the following key
axes:
Strengthening local employment, recognizing its role in the development and maintenance of the well-being
of the local communities in which it operates.
Developing the local economy by prioritizing collaboration with domestic and consequently local suppliers.
Making a substantial social contribution through the annual social investment program, implementing
selected actions in areas directly related to basic social needs and national priorities within the framework of
the Social Sustainable Development Goals.
Creating and offering innovative products and services that serve the sustainable management of local
communities.
Specifically:
MYTILINEOS has been consistently implementing the institution of Consultation with its Social Partners at the
local community level for the past 13 years. The Company is among the pioneers in this field in Greece, creating
the conditions for shaping new perceptions and practices in its relationships with social groups, considering the
specificities of its business sectors and subsidiaries.

The social initiatives undertaken by the Company at the local level, particularly in the category of strengthening
local infrastructure, are linked to the needs of each community and the wider area, shaped through an open
dialogue with local social partners. The Company communicates with its local communities in a clear and
transparent manner through its "open door" policy, mainly applied in the areas where its industrial units are
located.
Furthermore, by strengthening the constructive relationship it has built over time with social stakeholders,
MYTILINEOS implements a system for managing and evaluating social demands, enhancing transparency, and
ensuring the sustainability of its social investments.
The General Divisions of each business sector and subsidiary of MYTILINEOS are responsible for managing
relationships with the local communities in which they operate, while specifically designated personnel within
the Company, members of the respective Sustainability/ESG teams of the business sectors, oversee the
implementation of social policy at the local level and support the General Divisions in managing relationships
with local communities.
Results of Actions
During 2023, and according to the existing mechanisms for receiving complaints from industrial units, there
were no significant negative impacts from the Company's activities on local communities, both socially and
environmentally, as well as economically.
The Company maintained high levels of local employment for another year, where more than 8 out of 10 direct
and indirect employees come from communities directly adjacent to its industrial units and the wider area.
A total of more than €3 million was invested in the implementation of comprehensive social programs and other
social actions and initiatives at both central and local levels, benefiting 162,470 citizens (2022: 89,605) in various
sectors such as: the development of local infrastructure and services (51%), support for culture and sports
(24%), strengthening health and education (13%), and alleviating poverty and food insecurity (7%).
MYTILINEOS employs the internationally recognized and widely accepted SROI (Social Return on Investment)
methodology to determine the social value generated by its investments in key social programs. This approach
involves a holistic method through which the Company calculates the impact it creates and makes informed
decisions aiming to maximize the value returned by the investment made for each social program. The SROI
methodology measures the social value of a program, derived from the experiences of directly involved
individuals, i.e., the changes they experience in their lives, using economic terms as a common denominator to
express this value. In 2023, the results of three key social programs of the Company were analyzed, with SROI
ratios ranging from 3.03:1 to 6.12:1. This means that for every 1 euro invested in each program, there was
generated a corresponding social value ranging from 3.03 to 6.12 euros.
Performance Evaluation and Continuous Improvement

8. Governance Issues
In this section, details of Corporate Governance elements are not discussed extensively, as they are analyzed in the
corresponding section "Statement of Corporate Governance" of this report.
8.1. Business Ethics
MYTILINEOS acknowledges that phenomena such as corruption, bribery, fraud, violation of fair competition, and money
laundering from illegal activities undermine the ethical environment of every business. The consequences may include
human rights violations, adverse environmental effects, and hindrance to wealth distribution and economic growth in
countries. These phenomena pose a significant obstacle to Sustainable Development, disproportionately affecting poor
communities, eroding societal structures.
Company Policies and Commitments
MYTILINEOS adopts a Zero Tolerance approach to corruption and bribery in its activities, in line with the core principles
of Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, Responsible Supply Chain Policy, the Code of Business Conduct, and the
Suppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct. In 2
023, the company issued the following new policies a) Anti-fraud, Anti-corruption, and Anti-bribery Policy, b) Policy on
economic sanctions and counter-terrorism financing, and c) Whistleblowing Policy of MYTILINEOS according to Greek
law 4990/2022.
Key Risks
By operating in developing countries with significant energy needs, which according to Transparency International's
annual survey (Corruption Perceptions Index) are at high risk of corruption, MYTILINEOS may face the risk of exposure
to facilitation payments or other benefits to local partners to ensure the uninterrupted operation of projects. Any
deviation from the principles and ethical practices of the Company jeopardizes its reputation, credibility, and trust among
stakeholders, subsequently impacting its financial results and ability to undertake new projects.
Actions for addressing and mitigating risks
Addressing corruption and bribery is a fundamental aspect of the Code of Business Conduct and the Suppliers & Business
Partners Code of Conduct of MYTILINEOS. The Company considers combating corruption and bribery a matter of
integrity, linked to its firm commitment to zero tolerance on these issues. The Company implements various measures
to fulfill this commitment, specifically:
Official commitment to the 10th principle of the UN Global Compact, according to which “It opposes all forms
of corruption, including extortion, bribery, and facilitation payments”, which serves as a catalyst for the
development of an ethical culture throughout the Company.
Due diligence practices to third parties before entering agreements or making payments to prevent corruption
and bribery.
Avoidance of transactions and contacts with third parties involved in creating conditions for corruption,
extortion, or bribery.
Annual risk assessment studies regarding potential corruption and bribery in business activities.
Installation of reporting mechanisms in high-risk corruption countries, protecting whistleblowers.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report

st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Ad hoc audits of suppliers to ensure adherence to the Suppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct.
Systematic training of staff on the Code of Conduct per exposure category.
Results of Actions
In 2023, MYTILINEOS implemented all necessary internal procedures to ensure compliance with its policies. Through
control mechanisms in the Purchasing - Procurement Departments of its business sectors and subsidiaries, examining
both partner selection and all types of transactions, there were no confirmed incidents of corruption, incidents leading
to the removal or disciplinary prosecution of employees for corruption, confirmed incidents related to corruption
resulting in the termination or non-renewal of partnerships, or public legal cases related to corruption against the
Company or its employees. This achievement marks another year where MYTILINEOS met its annual goal of zero
incidents of corruption and bribery.
Performance Evaluation & Continuous Improvement
Key performance indicators regarding business ethics are externally verified to ensure the Sustainability Report's
integrity.

https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/reports/
8.2. Cybersecurity
Maintaining and continuously enhancing the level of cybersecurity is of paramount importance for MYTILINEOS. This is
both within the framework of compliance with international and domestic information security regulatory standards
and in the broader effort to ensure the services provided are resilient against constantly evolving cyber threats. Given
the complexity of the regulatory framework and the significant dependence of operational activities on the resilience
and smooth functioning of infrastructure, MYTILINEOS has implemented technical and organizational security measures
focusing on ensuring the core pillars of security, such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Company Policies and Commitments
MYTILINEOS has developed and is committed to implementing a comprehensive Information Security Management
System, consisting of policies, procedures, and guidelines based on the ISO27001 standard. This system aims to achieve
effective and efficient protection of the company's information systems and data. The Information Security Management
System is designed to support MYTILINEOS's operational objectives, reduce the risk of confidentiality, integrity, and
availability breaches of corporate information and information systems, and instill the company's strategic and ethical
values, as well as information security principles, in its personnel. Additionally, MYTILINEOS, recognizing the criticality of
cyber threats and potential impacts, has decided to demonstrate increased vigilance against information security risks
through the existing Information Security Management System. The company communicates its objectives,
responsibilities, and commitments to all employees, collaborators, and involved third parties through the Information
Security Management System.
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
123
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1

st
December 2023
Key Risks
A crucial factor in maintaining an adequate level of cybersecurity is the successful identification of the most critical
information security risks related to the size of MYTILINEOS, the nature and scope of its operational activities, and the
services it offers, as well as active collaborations with third parties. MYTILINEOS identifies targeted cyber-attacks aiming
to disrupt the company's smooth operation as significant risks. Examples of such attacks include Distributed Denial of
Service (DDoS) attacks and malicious software encryption attacks, commonly known as "ransomware." Moreover, in the
context of safeguarding human rights, MYTILINEOS equally recognizes the risk of data breaches to unauthorized entities,
which can occur willingly or unwillingly due to human error.
Actions for addressing and mitigating risks:
With the aim of timely, effective, and efficient management of recognized risks and the prevention or mitigation
of any potential impacts, MYTILINEOS has implemented a comprehensive Information Security Program
consisting of appropriate organizational and technical security measures. The goal of the program is to maintain
and continuously enhance the level of cyber-security, thereby contributing to the Company's operational
objectives related to Sustainable Development and the provision of secure services, while also protecting the
rights of employees, customers, and partners. An integral part of the Information Security Program is the
Information Security Management System, which defines all the organizational security measures required for
the smooth operation of the program.
Through collaboration with independent organizations and consultants, MYTILINEOS regularly assesses the
adequacy and effectiveness of information and IT security policies, processes, and guidelines. Any necessary
updates to the Information Security Management System are made based on the Company's needs. These
updates also take place following technological advancements, new information security risks, and incidents of
information security breaches, aiming to ensure the robust support of the Information Security Program and
the achievement of operational goals.
A crucial part of the program involves the periodic identification, assessment, and prioritization of information
security risks, specifying the related information resources, their exposure to cyber threats, potential impacts
on the Company, and existing security measures. Through this assessment, the maturity level of implemented
security measures can be determined, as well as the extent to which identified risks are mitigated, contributing
to the continuous improvement of the Information Security Program.
Parallel actions contributing to the ongoing identification of risks include vulnerability assessments of
information systems. External organizations and consultants regularly conduct such technical assessments,
along with information security systems implemented by MYTILINEOS, to promptly identify systemic
vulnerabilities susceptible to cyber threats with significant consequences.
Giving particular importance to the human factor, MYTILINEOS has developed a regular and structured
awareness and training program on information security and IT matters, which is continuously applied with
varying topics each time. Its goal is to ensure that all employees, contractors, and relevant third parties with
access to the Company's information and information systems understand the need for information security,
accept the responsibilities assigned to them based on the Information Security Management System, and
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report

st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
perform their duties demonstrating a high level of professional ethics. The program is evaluated and revised as
deemed necessary at regular intervals through assessments and exercises simulating cyber-security attacks.
Additionally, considering the size of MYTILINEOS, continuous training and awareness of the company's
personnel and collaborators on information security contribute to enhancing the relevant knowledge
throughout the broader community, promoting the culture of information security, and safeguarding data from
cyber threats.
Recognizing the potential negative impacts arising from a targeted information security attack, MYTILINEOS has
implemented technical security measures aimed at the timely detection of information security events.
Organizational security measures, such as roles, responsibilities, and procedures, exist to confirm events as
information security incidents and to investigate, assess, limit, and address them within strict time frames,
aiming to mitigate related impacts and implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Finally, acknowledging the increased likelihood of information security incidents, MYTILINEOS has designed and
implemented a business continuity and disaster recovery plan. The plan is regularly tested and updated to
ensure operational continuity, minimize, and restore negative impacts after an information security breach or
natural disaster.
At regular intervals or when issues arise in the broader cyber-security environment in which the Company operates,
relevant presentations are made at the level of Senior Management or the Audit Committee. Senior Management is
responsible for responding appropriately to ensure operational continuity according to the Company's needs and more
specifically the position who oversees the cybersecurity strategy of the company is that of Chief of Staff.
Results of Actions
To assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the Information Security Program, MYTILINEOS has systematically
established and monitors a set of performance indicators (KPIs). Simultaneously, it conducts periodic and continuous
compliance checks, aiming to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and the sufficient achievement of set
goals, as well as the continuous enhancement of the Company's cybersecurity level. The results of the performance
assessment, internal and external audits/inspections, are regularly reported to the Company's Senior Management.
Based on these, the appropriate plan for corrective actions and program improvement is determined and implemented.
Giving special importance to the continuous awareness of employees on information security matters, MYTILINEOS
carefully monitors this action and has implemented appropriate controls and quantitative performance measurement
indicators. Indicatively, it is reported that:
100% of MYTILINEOS' IT users, corresponding to 3,029 users, participated in the training activities that took
place, which focused on 10 different security issues.
62% of the employees successfully completed these training sessions.
38% are in the process of completing these training sessions.
59% of the employees successfully completed the corresponding assessments on information security.
Performance Evaluation & Continuous Improvement
Based on the results of the overall assessment of MYTILINEOS' Information Security Program actions for the year 2023,
the degree of achieving goals for maintaining an adequate level of cyber security, smooth operational function,

satisfactory. This contributes to the Company's broader strategy for Sustainable Development and the protection of the
rights of its stakeholders.
8.3. Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory compliance (at environmental, social, and product levels) is a fundamental element of MYTILINEOS' business
activity. Maintaining regulatory compliance ensures that the overall corporate activity is lawful and aligns with high levels
of responsible business conduct, enhancing the trust climate between MYTILINEOS and its stakeholders.

Company Policies and Commitments
MYTILINEOS is committed, by 2026, to create a registry of key suppliers meeting the ESG criteria it has set through a
specialized assessment methodology, in line with the requirements of the Suppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct
and the Company's Responsible Supply Chain Policy.
Actions for addressing and mitigating risks
To develop a responsible and sustainable supply chain, MYTILINEOS has adopted the following measures:
Responsible Supply Chain Policy
In 2023, the Company developed and adopted its first Responsible Supply Chain Policy, reaffirming its
commitment to promoting responsible business practices and, consequently, enhancing the sustainability of its
supply chain. The policy aligns with MYTILINEOS's Sustainable Development Strategy and has been approved
by the Company's Board of Directors. Its purpose is to promote responsible business practices among suppliers
and partners, fostering collaborations and partnerships to better understand the impacts on Sustainable
Development and achieve mutual alignment of goals and expectations. The primary goal is to contribute to the
overall Sustainable Development strategy of MYTILINEOS by integrating it into procurement processes and
policies. The policy has been posted on the official corporate website and is accessible to all suppliers. Its
integration is a prerequisite, along with the acceptance of the Suppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct,
upon signing any contract or agreement with a supplier.
Suppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct
In 2023, the Company renewed its " Suppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct " to enhance the minimum
requirements/expectations from its suppliers regarding responsible business practices and Sustainable
Development, which serve as fundamental prerequisites. The Code is structured based on ESG criteria and
aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It is publicly available on the corporate website
and accessible to suppliers. Acceptance of the Code is a necessary condition when signing a contract or
agreement with a supplier (compliance constitutes a contractual obligation).
Suppliers’ Training
The Company consistently promotes knowledge in applying standards and procedures for securing
sustainability as a fundamental factor in the business activities of its key suppliers. Recognizing the positive
correlation between sustainability, resilience, and economic performance, MYTILINEOS has implemented an
educational program over the past four years. The program aims at educating and sensitizing its key suppliers
to the main pillars of Sustainable Development while fostering constructive dialogue with the Company's
executives. This dialogue discusses the level of maturity and integration, understanding the impacts of their
business activities on Sustainable Development.
Supplier Assessment with ESG Criteria
At the assessment level, the focus is on identifying critical issues, providing support, and continuously improving
the Company's key suppliers. The assessment methodology, developed by the Sustainable Development
Department, aligns with the Suppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct based on ESG criteria. The internal
assessment process involves collaboration between the Procurement/Purchasing Division of Business Sectors,
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
128
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
subsidiaries, and Central Functions, along with the Sustainable Development Department. MYTILINEOS
evaluates the responses of its suppliers and assesses the submitted documentation, recognizing key
sustainability risks in the supply chain. The assessment process focuses on issues related to Sustainable
Development Goals, including compliance with environmental requirements, health and safety management,
protection of human rights, and ethical and integrity issues. Additionally, MYTILINEOS communicates and
collaborates with suppliers lacking in sustainable development matters, assisting them in improving their
performance through specialized adaptation plans. The Company monitors these plans annually to ensure
effective management of the essential ESG issues relevant to suppliers.
Results of Actions
In 2023, the Company continued the assessment process of existing key suppliers based on ESG criteria. 171
key suppliers from the Company's activities participated in the evaluation process. The initial results revealed
that 92% of the assessed suppliers are at a low and negligible risk level. For the remaining suppliers, ongoing
collaboration is considered, and a plan for specific adaptation actions is being explored in collaboration with
them by 2024, with the aim of improving their sustainability.
The Company completed the 4th cycle of training for domestic key suppliers on Sustainable Development
matters. The objective was to strengthen sustainability across the entire value chain of the Company,
considering it an integral element in building a responsible supply chain. A significant focus during the training
was dedicated to discussions on the implementation of the Responsible Supply Chain Policy adopted by the
Company in 2023. Up to this point, 141 out of almost 350 key suppliers of MYTILINEOS have been trained.
Mores details regarding this section are published in the 2023 Sustainable Development Report of the Company
https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/reports/
10. Key Intensity Metrics
The following hybrid intensity indicators capture the relationship between MYTILINEOS' environmental performance and
its financial performance. The decreasing trend of these indicators over time indicates that the increase in the value of
the Company's economic capital (increase in net profit) is being realised with an increasingly smaller impact on the
natural resources used by the Company in its activities. This fact verifies that the implementation of the business strategy
is carried out in parallel with the Company's commitment to the principles of Sustainable Development and responsible
practices, aiming at a more sustainable, balanced shared value to its stakeholders.

11. European Classification of sustainable investments
The EU Taxonomy is the European Union classification system of activities that can under certain conditions be considered as
environmentally sustainable or as activities that enable the transition to environmental sustainability. Under the Taxonomy
regulation, companies and organizations can attract funds to develop their sustainable activities as well as expand them further,
provided they meet certain criteria.
The criteria that determine the level of sustainability of certain economic activities are set by the Taxonomy Regulation
(2020/852/EU). In order to achieve sustainability of its economic development, the European Union has stipulated 6
environmental goals, the achievement of which will advance sustainable development within the Union. Specifically, the
environmental goals at the center of the Taxonomy framework are the following:
1. Climate change mitigation;
2. Climate change adaptation;
3. The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources;
4. The transition to a circular economy;
5. Pollution prevention and control;
6. The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
The delegated acts adopted under the Taxonomy Regulation provide technical screening criteria which must also be met to
constitute taxonomy alignment. At the moment of publication of the present, report the Taxonomy-eligible activities have been
set out by 2 Delegated Acts currently in force. In 2021, the EU adopted the first Delegated Act 2021/2139 (EU) which set out
activities and technical screening criteria for substantial contribution towards objectives 1-2 above, including DNSH criteria for
other objectives. Moreover, in 2023, the second Delegated Act 2023/2486 (EU) was published with regard to activities
significantly contributing to environmental objectives 3-6 above.
The achievement of one or several of the above-mentioned goals provides an economic activity with the status of sustainable,
transitional or enabling according to their alignment to the Taxonomy framework. Specifically, depending on whether the activity
has the potential to be conducted in a fully sustainable way at present, whether it can help the economy transition to a more
sustainable model or whether it can allow other activities to be conducted sustainably, the economic activities have been
designates into different subgroups. In order to be considered aligned to the EU Taxonomy, an economic activity must fulfil all of
the following criteria:
I. Contributes substantially to one or more of the environmental objectives set out in the Regulation
II. Does not significantly harm any of the environmental objectives set out in the Regulation
III. Is carried out in compliance with the minimum safeguards laid down in the Regulation
IV. Complies with technical screening criteria stipulated by the Commission for each economic activity towards the
achievement of the environmental goals of the Taxonomy.
The Taxonomy framework provisions that are effective on the date of the present report, require from in-scope companies to
disclose the amount and proportion of activities which are eligible, non-eligible and aligned with the first 2 climate objectives as
part of their total turnover, capital and operational expenditure and to perform related alignment assessments for all such
activities. Furthermore, they require the disclosure of the proportion of their taxonomy-eligible activities (described in the
2023/2486 (EU) Delegated Act adopted in 2023) and non-eligible economic activities as part of their total turnover, capital and
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report

operational expenditure. Finally, all the quantitative information is accompanied by certain qualitative information for all
objectives (1-6). The Group applied Regulation (EU) 2020/852 as supplemented with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
2021/2139, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2485 and
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 to identify activities that are eligible.
The compliance with said criteria is monitored continuously and reported on an annual basis, included in the non-financial section
of the respective annual financial statements. As part of the Taxonomy reporting process, we disclose in the following sectio n
the key performance indicators relating to our economic activities for the FY2023.
MYTILINEOS activities
The Group examined thoroughly its activities through the prism of EU Taxonomy in order to identify the proportion of its eligible
and aligned activities according to the Taxonomy framework. This procedure forms the basis of its disclosures for Taxonomy
purposes in the annual financial statements and was also carried out in the current period, where the following eligible activities
were recognized:
CCM 3.8. Manufacture of aluminium
CCM 3.20. Manufacture, installation, and servicing of high, medium and low voltage electrical equipment for electrical
transmission and distribution that result in or enable a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation
CCM 4.1. Electricity generation using solar photovoltaic technology
CCM 4.3. Electricity generation from wind power
CCM 4.5. Electricity generation from hydropower
CCM 4.9. Transmission and distribution of electricity
CCM 4.10. Storage of electricity
CCM 4.29. Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels
CCM 6.14. Infrastructure for rail transport
CCM 7.3. Installation, maintenance and repair of energy efficiency equipment
CE 3.1. Construction of new buildings
Following the eligibility examination based on the descriptions provided by the Climate Delegated Acts mentioned earlier, the
Group evaluated their alignment with EU Taxonomy according to the relevant technical screening criteria (regarding activities
already present in the 2021/2139/EU Delegated Act). The result of this evaluation is presented in the following section of the
report.

technological modernization of the plant’s facilities and the increase of its production and productivity – one of the largest private
investments to be carried out in Greece in recent years.
Alignment to EU Taxonomy Criteria re Climate Change Mitigation
The Group examined alignment of the activity to the criteria as presented in the Climate Delegated Act (2021/2139/EU) and
confirmed the alignment of all secondary aluminium plants to said measures. Specifically, the Group's climate risk assessment,
which has been carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the international initiative Task Force on Climate Related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD), also includes the recognition of natural climate risks up to a time horizon of ~30 years (long-term
risks). The information regarding this process is described in detail in the TCFD data table included in the Group's 2022 Sustainable
Development Report as well as in the designated place on the MYTILINEOS website.
Regarding emissions (other than GHG emissions) during the production processes, the economic activity within its continuous
regulatory compliance, constantly monitors emissions’ levels, confirming that they do not exceed the levels associated with t he
best available techniques (BAT-AEL) ranges for the non-ferrous metals industries. The said production processes regularly comply
to the Directives outlined in Appendix C of the Climate Delegated Act regarding the use/manufacture of dangerous chemicals.
Concerning the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), since its preparation is a basic requirement of the environmental
licensing process of most large-scale construction projects, MYTILINEOS produces EIAs for all of its facilities including the
aluminium productions sites. The EIAs include sections relating to the use and protection of water and marine resources as well
as for maintaining their good condition. Moreover, the Metallurgy B.U. supported by external specialists has conducted a
Technogeological-Hydrogeological survey where all identified risks to the subterranean waters of the surrounding area are
described and thoroughly analysed to ensure the flawless operation of the sites and the protection of the local environment.
Lastly, as certain sites of the economic activity border areas included in the Natura 2000 network of protected areas, the Group
has undertaken a Special Ecological Assessment (SEA) as part of the licensing process of the said sites.
CCM 3.20. Manufacture, installation, and servicing of high, medium and low voltage electrical equipment for electrical
transmission and distribution that result in or enable a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation
Taxonomy activity description:
The economic activity develops, manufactures, installs, maintains or services electrical products, equipment or systems, or
software aimed at substantial GHG emission reductions in high, medium and low voltage electrical transmission and distributio n
systems through electrification, energy efficiency, integration of renewable energy or efficient power conversion.
The economic activity includes systems to integrate renewable sources of energy in the electric grid, interconnect or increas e
grid automation, flexibility and stability, manage demand-side response, develop low carbon transport or heat, or deploy smart

enabling activity as referred to in Article 10(1), point (i), of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 where it complies with the relevant technical
screening criteria.
Eligible MYTILINEOS activity description:
The Group has undertaken the "Pembroke" project on behalf of RWE Generation UK PLC in the United Kingdom, which concerns
the supply and installation of a Modern Condenser. The M Power Projects Division of MYTILINEOS will undertake the execution
of this "turnkey" project which includes the Design, Supply, Installation and Commissioning of a Modern Condenser unit, with
the auxiliary systems, as well as a high voltage substation (HV) for the connection of the Modern Condenser to the HT Network
of the National Grid (Transmission System Operator).
This is the first Modern Condenser project for MYTILINEOS, but also the first for RWE in the UK as part of the Pembroke Net Zero
Center (PNZC) decarbonisation target. The project will be built on the existing premises of RWE's Pembroke power station in
South West Wales. Construction began in 2023 and completion is scheduled for the second half of 2025.
Modern Condensers are widely considered essential for the development of renewable energy (RES) projects. They are able to
regulate the power in electrical networks, especially when RES cannot provide stability to the system. As market needs grow,
Modern Condensers are a reliable technical solution, able to meet the needs of network managers, while being preferred
internationally by many companies. Additionally, a Modern Condenser does not consume fuel, nor does it produce energy, and
therefore there are no additional CO2 emissions or water usage requirements.
At the same time, this project forms part of the National Grid's Stability Pathfinder Program for England and Wales, aiming t o
support the system by increasing inertia and contributing to the short circuit level. As interconnected renewables grow, the
project helps stabilize the Grid. Finally, it is worth noting that the 'Pembroke' project supports the UK's 'green' energy and zero
carbon targets by 2025.
CCM 4.1. Electricity generation using solar photovoltaic technology
Taxonomy activity description:
This activity consists of the construction or operation of electricity generation facilities that produce electricity using solar
photovoltaic (PV) technology.
Eligible MYTILINEOS activity description:
The Group through its subsidiary METKA EGN is one of the leading manufacturers of photovoltaic and energy storage projects
worldwide. This positions the Group as global manufacturer and contractor for solar energy projects, offering reliable solutions
across the entire range of the activities involved in developing such projects, from autonomous solar parks and energy storage
projects to complex hybrid projects. The broader strategy of the Renewables & Storage Development Business Unit apart from
the construction of external projects includes the use of the Build-Own-Transfer (“BOT”) business model for the development of
photovoltaic projects, utilizing its extensive proprietary construction technology. During 2023, the steady growth of the global
RES portfolio continued, which especially in solar PV technology added 5 new PV projects in Alberta, Canada, purchased from
Westbridge Renewable Energy and which will have the ability to generate over 2TWh per year. The total cost of the investment
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report

is estimated at €1.16 billion, without taking into account the benefit that MYTILINEOS will have from the incentives recently
adopted by the Government of Canada for investments in clean technologies that foresee a reduction of up to 30% on capital
costs, further enhancing the performance of the specific projects. At the same time, this move is the first of its kind for
MYTILINEOS in North America, continuing the Company's international strategy of seeking opportunities in countries and region s
with high commercial interest and a business-friendly environment. Finally, work continued to complete the construction of the
first leg (135MW) of the Greek Portfolio of ~1.5GW PV, utilizing resources from the Recovery and Stability Mechanism (RRF),
which during 2023 gradually entered into operation, while the construction of the second Greek portfolio with a capacity of 160
MW also started. Regarding the portfolio outside of Greece, MYTILINEOS continues the construction work of projects of more
than 1.5GW internationally.
Alignment to EU Taxonomy Criteria re Climate Change Mitigation
The said activity covers 2 activities: the construction of solar PV facilities for clients and the the operation of the Group’s own
solar PV facilities. Thus, alignment was examined from both scopes with clear distinction between them, due to the fact that
certain technical screening criteria may not be applicable to both aspects of the activity. Specifically, the Group's climate risk
assessment, which has been carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the international initiative Task Force on
Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), also includes the recognition of natural climate risks up to a time horizon of ~30
years (long-term risks). The information regarding this process is described in detail in the TCFD data table included in the Group's
2022 Sustainable Development Report as well as in the designated place on its website. The said assessment was conducted
thoroughly for the Group’s own facilities operated by the P&G B.U. However, since no reliable projections can be made for the
construction activity, this aspect (RSD B.U.) of the climate risk assessment is naturally limited.
Regarding alignment to the criterion for transition to a circular economy, most of the materials and related equipment used for
the construction, operation and maintenance of the solar PV facilities with modern techniques, are certified for their high
durability and can be disassembled and recycled almost completely.
The materials required for the construction of the solar PV facilities consist mainly of metal devices, photovoltaic panels,
aluminum and copper cables, electrical equipment and concrete, most of which are recyclable, as well as packaging materials
(e.g. wood, plastic and paper-cardboard) which are waste produced during construction. All the above-mentioned materials are
recyclable and are properly recycled through licensed waste management companies so as not to cause negative effects on the
environment.
Concerning the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), since its preparation is a basic requirement of the environmental
licensing process of most large-scale construction projects, MYTILINEOS produces EIAs for all of its facilities including the solar
PV facilities operated by the M-Renewables subsector. The same regulatory framework is applicable for the construction activities
of the M-Renewables subsector within the EEA. In case of construction projects outside the EEA (e.g. Australia, Chile, etc.), the
Group follows the environmental commitments set by its Environmental Policy as well as the applicable environmental legislation
in the host countries. The EIAs include sections relating to the use and protection of water and marine resources as well as for
maintaining their good condition. Moreover, in case of sites of the economic activity which are situated or border areas included
in the Natura 2000 network of protected areas, the Group undertakes all necessary assessments required by the applicable
national and EU legislation for such projects.

Moreover, MYTILINEOS has announced its cooperation with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners towards the joint development
and construction of offshore wind farms, which however is not yet feasible due to lack of proper legislative framework.
Alignment to EU Taxonomy Criteria re Climate Change Mitigation
The Group examined alignment of the activity to the criteria as presented in the Climate Delegated Act (2021/2139/EU) and
confirmed the alignment of all wind farms to said measures. Specifically, the Group's climate risk assessment, which has been
carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the international initiative Task Force on Climate Related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD), also includes the recognition of natural climate risks up to a time horizon of ~30 years (long-term risks). The
information regarding this process is described in detail in the TCFD data table included in the Group's 2022 Sustainable

Alignment to EU Taxonomy Criteria re Climate Change Mitigation
The Group examined alignment of the activity to the criteria as presented in the Climate Delegated Act (2021/2139/EU) and
confirmed the alignment of all wind farms to said measures. Specifically, the Group's climate risk assessment, which has been
carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the international initiative Task Force on Climate Related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD), also includes the recognition of natural climate risks up to a time horizon of ~30 years (long-term risks). The
information regarding this process is described in detail in the TCFD data table included in the Group's 2022 Sustainable
Development Report as well as in the designated place on its website.
The Group is not involved in the construction of pumped hydropower storage units. Moreover, since the economic activity of th e
RSD B.U. is limited to the construction of electricity storage units, the owners/clients are responsible for any waste management
plans. As such, this criterion is considered not applicable in this case.
Concerning the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), since its preparation is a basic requirement of the environmental
licensing process of most large-scale construction projects, MYTILINEOS produces EIAs for all of the construction activities of the
RSD B.U. within the EEA. In case of construction projects outside the EEA (e.g. Australia, Chile, etc.), the Group follows the

Minimum Safeguards
MYTILINEOS creates value for its Social Partners through its business activities, making a substantial contribution to the economy,
to employment and to the development of its local communities.
The responsible operation of MYTILINEOS, has been systematically cultivated over the last 12 years through the implementation
of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy and the Company's commitment to the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact.
For MYTILINEOS, CSR is an ongoing self-improvement and incessant learning process, while also serves as a key mechanism for
renewing its “social license to operate” and, at the same time, improves its competitiveness at national and international le vel.
Sustainable Development is an integral part of the “corporate DNA” of MYTILINEOS and, therefore, of its long-term business
strategy. It is the driving force through which the Company aspires to remain competitive in the long term, to meet contemporary
challenges and, by developing appropriate partnerships, to contribute to a new and efficient model of socially inclusive growth,
as this is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Company’s business model is at the center of its operation. We utilize our available resources in accordance with our vis ion,
mission and business values, to produce and market our products and services, while also contributing to the Global Sustainable
Development Goals (UN 2030 Agenda) and creating value for our Social Partners. The relevant key performance indicators,
together with descriptions of the interrelationships between the resources utilized in the context of our Business Model, is
available at the Company’s website.
The aim of the Integrated Value Creation Scorecard (scorecard.MYTILINEOS.gr/index-en.html) is the presentation to all
MYTILINEOS Social Partners of the basic resources (economic, industrial, natural, human and social) that it utilizes during its
activity, through its business model, the corresponding results and the value generated in combination with the 17 UN
Sustainable Development Goals.
The Sustainability Actions Map is an innovative tool that provides in a concise and centralized way, the information on Sustainable
Development issues to all Stakeholders. Immediate access to the desired information and easy operation of the microsite are key
features for the effective provision of information to the Company's stakeholders, focusing either on the desired Global
Sustainable Development Goal or on the desired region / country for each of the Business Units.
OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
Our Code of Conduct has been developed taking into account the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. We have
implemented a custom training program in the Company’s Code of Business Conduct for our employees. We applied our “Zero
Tolerance” approach in connection with incidents of corruption and bribery in all our activities, both domestically and
internationally. We successfully continued the dialogue with our Stakeholders, implementing a special thematic Consultation
focused on the creation of our corporate Human Rights Policy, gaining the almost universal acceptance and support of all our
Stakeholder groups for this initiative of the Company.
Respect of Human and Labour Rights
Since 2008, MYTILINEOS has committed itself to complying with the Compact’s 10 Principles, annually publishing its relevant
performance, both in terms of its overall operation and its broader transactions. MYTILINEOS is committed to the first six
Principles of the UN Global Compact, which are based on, among others, the internationally recognized principles on the
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
141
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st

protection of Human Rights, as these are defined in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. The Company's commitment to
monitoring and publishing the impacts of its activity in this area, together with the Code of Business Conduct, which is addressed
to all levels in the Company's hierarchy, promote the protection of and respect for Human Rights, mitigating the likelihood of
such incidents occurring in the Company's working environment. Furthermore, during 2020 we have proceeded with the
elaboration of a specialized Human Rights Policy, in dialogue with our Social Partners, during which MYTILINEOS listened to the
views of all its Social Partners on the key points of the policy and integrated them into its final corporate policy document. The
Human Rights Policy expresses the Company's zero tolerance of any violation of Human Rights. We fully protect labour rights as
well as the other categories of Human Rights related to our activity.
The Company operates on the basis of its firm commitment to zero tolerance for human rights violations, which is realized bot h
by not participating (directly, passively or implicitly) in such violations, and by avoiding any transaction and contact with third
parties, in countries where it operates, which may have caused or are reasonably suspected to be involved in creating conditions
that may cause human rights violations. It is bound by the first 6 Principles of the United Nations Universal Compact, which are
based, among others, on the internationally recognized principles of the protection of human rights, as defined in the
International Declaration of Human Rights (IDHR).
The Company, through the basic mechanism for reporting violations of the Code of Business Conduct and the Code of Conduct
of Suppliers/Business Partners (anonymous or named reports by telephone, fax, mail, as well as by e-mail to the Regulatory
Compliance Department), provides the opportunity for employees and its suppliers/business partners to raise any concerns and
incidents of Human Rights violation. At the same time, the Company guarantees that no action will be taken against anyone who
reports, in good faith, any actual or alleged wrongdoing.
No incidents of human rights violations were reported to the General Directorate of Human Resources or the Regulatory
Compliance Department through the official mechanism for reporting violations of the Company's Code of Conduct
(whistleblowing line) during 2023, achieving the Company's long-term goal of zero tolerance for violations of human rights rights.
Finally, no areas were identified where the identified deficiencies could jeopardize the protection of Human Rights in the
Company's activities.
Responsible Risk Management
MYTILINEOS’ has developed a systematic approach to the recording, optimal management and disclosure of information about
the ESG risks and opportunities that affect its performance, as well as about its efforts to implement its strategy. Through the
ESG approach, MYTILINEOS strengthens its ability to create long-term value and manage significant changes in the environment
in which it operates. In this way, it responds to the modern-day sustainability requirements of investors, capital markets and
financial institutions, as well as to society's expectations of commitment and transparency regarding these issues, whose number
keeps increasing.
Climate Change risks and opportunities
The Company has already integrated into its strategic priorities the implementation of a study to determine the risks and
opportunities from the consequences of climate change in its activity. The Sustainable Development Report of MYTILINEOS is
2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
142

published on an annual basis and refers to the overview of the Company's Non-Financial performance, supplementing its Annual
Report and is available online on the MYTILINEOS official website.
Corruption
The Company, as part of its "zero tolerance" approach to corruption and bribery, reserves the right to terminate any form of
cooperation with a Supplier/Business Partner that does not comply with the principle of Integrity as well as with applicable
legislation and relevant regulations against corruption and bribery in the countries where it operates.
Through the control mechanisms implemented in the Procurement Departments of the Business Units, the Company filters both
the selection of partners and all transactions, assuring that there were no confirmed incidents of corruption that led to
disciplinary sanctions or dismissal of employees due to corruption, nor confirmed incidents of corruption that have led to the
termination or non-renewal of the business relationship with partners, or any legal proceedings related to corruption against the
Company or its employees.
MYTILINEOS minds to analyze the prevailing conditions and potential risks or threats that may encourage the occurrence of
corruption or bribery in the corporate environment through a third-party audit and due diligence process.
Taxation
Taxation is considered an extremely important issue and is supervised by the Company's highest governing bodies. We have put
in place effective measures to manage tax risks, in line with OECD tax guidelines. In addition, the Company did not face cases of
violation of tax legislation. Finally, the Company receives an annual tax certificate following a relevant tax audit carried out during
the annual regular audit by its appointed auditor. More details on this topic are also available in the section of the annual report
"Unaudited fiscal years".
Healthy competition
The Company's operation is based on transparency, emphasizing its firm commitment to avoid unfair business practices that
hinder fair competition.
MYTILINEOS has developed a "Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Partners" which is also publicly available on its website. The
Code ensures and requires suppliers to be able to demonstrate compliance with applicable national legislation or industry
standards by operating in various areas such as “Avoidance of all acts of unfair competition”. In addition, "Fair Competition Law"
training and materials have been developed for specific employees. All employees of MYTILINEOS, including employees of
subsidiaries, receive relevant training according to their degree of exposure to relevant risks.

or aligned for EU Taxonomy purposes according to the description of these activities and taking into account the respective NACE
activity codes, as well as the relevant technical screening criteria as presented in Delegated Acts 2021/2139/EU and
2022/1214/EU. Since we are currently in the first period of implementation of the Taxonomy framework (1/1 – 31/12/2023), the
Group’s economic activities were reviewed a nd ultimately included/excluded both in terms of eligibility as well as in terms of
alignment with the technical screening criteria provided in the related Delegated Acts. The said examination is thoroughly
presented for each aligned activity, whereas any activities that did not fulfill one or several of the technical criteria are included
only as eligible. Taking into consideration the above, the calculation of the KPIs was based on the following elements of the
Group’s financial reporting:
Proportion of the total turnover. It was calculated based on the total net turnover from the sale of goods and provision of
services. The numerator includes the activities that are considered to be aligned according to the Taxonomy regulation and th e
relevant technical screening criteria under the condition that said revenue does not include own use and intergroup transactions.
The total turnover at Group level is presented in the Income Statement as well as in note 3.1 of the Financial Statements.
Proportion of the total CapEx. It was calculated based on the capitalized expenses incurred for additions to assets or processes
corresponding to aligned economic activities. The numerator includes the activities that are considered to be aligned according
to Taxonomy regulation and the relevant technical screening criteria. The Group totals regarding additions to tangible, intangible
and right of use assets are presented in notes 3.2, 3.3 and 3.5 of the Financial Statements.
Proportion of the total OpEx. It was calculated based on the operating expenses related to the repair and maintenance of assets
or processes corresponding to aligned economic activities. The numerator includes the activities that are considered to be aligned
according to the Taxonomy regulation and the relevant technical screening criteria.
The information presented in this report complies with the requirements of the Taxonomy Regulation and the relevant Delegated
Regulations issued up to the time of this publication. The relevant guidelines have a relative margin of interpretation and are
constantly adapted to the needs of the process. Taking this into account, MYTILINEOS pays particular attention to relevant
developments and adjusts its approach depending on the assumptions and applicable methodology.

The reduction in employee and pension benefits is due to the accounting treatment of the service contract between the
Company and the CEO, approved by the General Assembly from 7 June 2018 was accounted, which took place in the previous
fiscal year. The Company at 31.12.2023, has implemented share-based payments for its employees and executives. In
particular, under the effective agreements, the Company’s employees and executives are granted the option to receive equity
securities (shares) of the parent company, given that certain conditions of vesting have been met.
None of the existing equity-based payment agreement plans are settled in cash.
Services received in return for equity-based payments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the services of executives
and employees, at the date when the stock option is granted, is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 as an expense in the
income statement, with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the services, for which the options are
granted, are received.
Total expenses of the options during the vesting period are calculated based on the fair value of the options provided at the
granting date. The expenses are allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of stoc k
options expected to be vested. The fair value of the options is measured by adopting an appropriate valuation model to reflect
the number of options for which the performance conditions of the plan are expected to be met.

(the “Board”), in accordance with articles 152 and 153 of Law 4548/2018 and relates to the following sections.
MYTILINEOS S.A. (the “Company”) as of 01.01.2019, following a relevant resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors on
15.11.2018, aiming at ensuring transparency and responsible operation in all areas of its activity, voluntarily adopted the U K
Corporate Governance Code -2018 (the “Code”). The Code is posted on the Company’s website
https://www.mytilineos.com/who-we-are/governance/corporate-governance/corporate-governance-code/ and on the website
of the Financial Reporting Council, UK https://www.frc.org.uk/getattachment/88bd8c45-50ea-4841-95b0-d2f4f48069a2/2018-
UK-Corporate-Governance-Code-FINAL.pdf . According to the Decision No 2/925/28.07.2021 of the Board of Directors of the
Hellenic Capital Market Commission, the Financial Reporting Council is an acknowledged body for the adoption of a corporate
governance code pursuant to Article 17 of the Law 4706/2020 on corporate governance. The Code has been revised in 2024,
especially concerning the Board leadership and company purpose, the composition of the Board with an emphasis on diversity
issues, remuneration, and the Internal Control and Risk Management System. The aim is to ensure the effectiveness of the
Internal Control and Risk Management System by the Board and to conduct at least an annual assessment of their effectiveness

to the Code are of limited scope. The revised Code will come into effect on January 1, 2025, with the exception of certain
provisions for the Internal Control System and Risk Management, the application of which will start on January 1, 2026. The
Company is already processing the new provisions of the 2024 Code to effectively and timely comply with them in the near future.
Based on the highest international standards of entrepreneurship, the Company strives for closer engagement with its investors,
with the ultimate aim of unlocking further value for its shareholders. Drawing on the best corporate governance practices, th e
Company formulates its strategy and develops the general directions, policies, values and principles that govern its operation,
while ensuring transparency and safeguarding the interests of its shareholders. The Company puts emphasis on the integration
of sustainability issues into its operations and strategy.
During 2023, the Company did not comply with provisions 4, 9, 19 and 31 of the Code.
1.1 BOARD LEADERSHIP AND COMPANY PURPOSE
Principle A: The role of the Board of Directors
The Board sets the tone with regards to the standards of corporate governance. To this end the Board decided to adopt voluntarily
the UK Corporate Governance Code as from 01.01.2019, recognizing that the Code is widely recognized as best standard of
corporate governance.
The Board operates effectively for the longer-term interests and sustainability of the Company. In order to improve its efficiency,
the Board of Directors adopted in 2022 its Terms of Reference, which set out in detail, inter alia, its responsibilities, the general

principles governing its operation, the way it operates, the way of supervision of its executive members, and the way it is
evaluated. The relevant legislation, the Company's Articles of Association, the UK Corporate Governance Code and the relevant
guidance from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC Guidance on Board Effectiveness, 2018) were taken into account in preparing
the Board Rules.
The Board is diverse, including adequate gender diversity, and its members possess the appropriate level of knowledge, skills
and expertise required to deliver upon expectations. The Company demonstrates a clear division of responsibilities between
Management and the Board. The executive governance structure, which ensures expedient and good decision-making by the
competent bodies, with full insight and optimal utilization of management time, includes decision preparation and coordinatio n
committees as follows:
(i) Cabinet of the CEO, which meets on an ad-hoc basis to discuss the strategy and direction of the Company and monitors
performance,
(ii) Quarterly Leadership Council, to inform the organization and to identify the future executives,
(iii) Two (2) Committees, in which specific issues are analyzed:
Monthly Financial Committee, which deals with financial performance and risk, international markets and capital
markets.
Capital Allocation Committee, which meets whenever capital allocation matters need to be considered.
(iv) Monthly committees of the Energy and Metallurgy Sectors, which are responsible for guiding the operation and monitoring
the performance of the respective Sector and coordinating the projects identified in the strategic plan.
(v) Support Functions Committee, which meets whenever necessary to consider issues related to the provision of support
services to the individual Sectors.
As a responsible industrial company, MYTILINEOS integrates sustainability considerations as part of its main purpose. The
Company’s business model is at the centre of its operations: It supports its growth, describes the categories of resources it utilises,
presents the picture of its activities, its production performance, the value it creates for its Stakeholders and wider society, in
general, its overall contribution to Sustainable Development. The Key Non-Financial Performance Indicators (ESG Scorecard
https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/esg-performance/esg-scorecard/ ) are published in the Annual Report of the Board
of Directors included in Chapter 2 of the 2023 Annual Financial Report (the “Annual Report of the Board”). The approach, in t heir
selection, is based on the Environment, Society, and Governance (ESG Approach) and is linked to the Company's ability to create
value, making them essential for sustainable development and stakeholders. They also contribute to understanding how ESG
issues impact corporate performance and the Company's ability to implement its strategy. The Key Non-Financial Performance
Indicators have been determined in accordance with the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative Standards) and SASB (Sustainability
Accounting Standards Board) standards. Detailed analysis is provided in the 'Description of the Business Model' section of the
Annual Report of the Board.
The Board of Directors established within 2021 the Sustainability Committee, with the purpose to assist the Board in
strengthening the Company’s long-term commitment to creating value in all three pillars of Sustainable Development
(environment, society and governance). Specifically for 2023, the Board monitored in particular the progress of the Company's
key carbon reduction initiatives and, by extension, the Company's climate targets, the key sustainability disclosure requirements
of the new European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the requirements of the proposal for a Directive
on corporate sustainability due diligence, which establishes obligations for companies regarding actual and potential adverse
4. Statement of Corporate Governance

impacts on human rights and adverse environmental impacts related to their activities, the activities of their subsidiaries, and
the activities of their value chains. The Company already applies relevant international voluntary standards and is studying the
adjustments that need to be made within the framework of the Directive proposal once adopted.
In addition, MYTILINEOS assigns, on a biannual basis, the study of the socio-economic impact of its activities, to an independent
consultancy which is selected through a tender procedure. The results of the latest study conducted in 2022 were presented to
the Sustainability Committee, and reflected in a corresponding report, which is posted on the Company's website.:
https://www.mytilineos.gr/sustainability/how-we-create-value/mytilineos-socio-economic-impact-in-greece/
Mytilineos, as an active member of the local communities in the areas where its core industrial units are based, seeks the lo ng-
term acceptance of its business activities by local societies. Its main priority is to play an active role in their economic, social, and
cultural activities, supporting their sustainable development. The Company's social policy focuses on implementing actions
related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Report's section on
the “Business Model”. This section highlights the alignment of Mytilineos' strategy with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals. More specifically:
i. Respect for the rights of citizens in local communities neighboring the Company's industrial units, following the key
principles of Human Rights Policy.
ii. Promotion of economic prosperity and local development through careful supply chain management, with an emphasis
on supporting local businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. This is ensured within the framework of
the Responsible Supply Chain Policy adopted by the Company in 2023.
iii. Consistent implementation of its social policy through actions and initiatives that strengthen the coexistence harmony
of MYTILINEOS with its local communities and the broader society, following the key principles of the Company's
Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.
In 2024, MYTILINEOS will complete the review of the socio-economic impact of its activities, and the results will be published
both on the Company's website and in the Sustainable Development & ESG Performance Report for 2023.
Principle B: Purpose, values and culture
The Board of Directors approved the Company’s vision, mission and values as part of its strategy. The Company's strategy is
reviewed annually and is the subject of discussion and processing by the Board of Directors. More details are included below,
under Provision 2.
Principle C: Resources, risks and controls
The monitoring of the Internal Control System (ICS) relies on the continuous assessment of its key elements. This is achieved
through the Internal Audit Function and ongoing monitoring activities integrated into the Company's processes. The results of
the ICS assessment are timely communicated to the senior management and executives responsible for taking corrective actions,
and to the Board of Directors according to their significance. The Company has established a “Periodic Assessment Policy of the
Internal Control System (ICS)” aiming to describe the basic principles for the subject and frequency of the audit, the scope of
assessment, any significant subsidiaries to be included in the evaluation, which are determined before the start of the
assessment, and the monitoring of the assessment results. The Company also has a 'Periodic Assessment Procedure of the
Internal Control System,' outlining the roles, responsibilities, and stages for the selection of the assessor, approval of th e
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
173
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
assignment, and monitoring of compliance with the agreed-upon task to conduct the ICS assessment. The aim is to ensure the
Company's compliance with the current legislative and regulatory framework. Following the completion of the ICS assessment in
2022, the Internal Audit Division monitors the implementation progress of action plans by Business Units and provides quarterly
updates to the Audit Committee. According to its competences, the Audit Committee oversees the internal control and risk
management systems of the Company and monitored the ICS assessment following the COSO 2013 framework (Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) through reports from the Internal Audit Division. The Audit Committee
also oversees the Compliance function.
Principle D: Shareholder and stakeholder engagement
The relationships and collaboration of the Company with the groups of its Social Partners are integral elements of its strategy for
Sustainable Development. Consultation with the groups of Social Partners, as a corporate institution, is governed by specific
principles and objectives, conducted on an annual basis with absolute consistency, mainly at the local level, addressing
contemporary sustainability issues. The effectiveness and transparency of the process are ensured through the Company's
Sustainable Development Governance System, according to which the individual Sustainability/ESG leaders and owners of the
Business Activity Sectors of MYTILINEOS record and evaluate all proposals, ideas, as well as concerns raised by the Social Partners.
Subsequently, the most significant issues are forwarded to the respective General Divisions to make decisions regarding how t o
address them. Decisions are made to allow, where feasible, their incorporation into the corporate strategy.
Due to the Company's multi-level business operations, it engages with a broad spectrum of social groups. These diverse groups
are identified and prioritized every 2-3 years and are characterized as “Key Stakeholder Groups” for the Company based on
specific criteria, following the international standard AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement–2015, per Business Activity Sector. The
process of determining the groups of Social Partners was implemented per Business Activity Sector, using the 5 fundamental
criteria (dependence, responsibility, intensity, influence, and perspective) according to the international standard AA1000
Stakeholder Engagement–2015, Based on the results of the internal review exercise of the Company's Social Partner groups
conducted in 2022, the “Key Stakeholder Groups” are categorized as follows:
Category A: High-priority Social Partner groups. This category includes employees, shareholders, customers, local communities,
suppliers, and financial institutions.
Category B: Social Partner groups that encompass regulatory authorities, financial analysts, business organizations, sustainable
development entities, and media.
Category C: Social Partner groups that include non-governmental organizations and the academic community.
The Company’s synergies with its Stakeholders are shaped in the context of the Company's contribution to the Sustainable
Development Goal 17 that seeks to strengthen partnerships to support and achieve the ambitious targets of the 2030 Agenda
without exclusions, built on a common vision, principles and values.
Additionally, MYTILINEOS has developed a specific Stakeholders Engagement process. This practice expresses the Company’s
long-standing principle of engaging with its Stakeholders through a systematic and sincere dialogue. As a corporate institution,
the Stakeholders Consultation process, has been carried out consistently annually since 2011 and is subject to self-assessment
and self-improvement procedures.
Within 2023, MYTILINEOS conducted at a central level: a) an electronic thematic consultation involving more than 300 key
suppliers, major clients, business organizations, and sustainable development entities. The focus was on gathering their opinions
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
174
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
regarding the publication of the Company's new policy concerning the development of the Responsible Supply Chain, and b) an
online consultation with 36 Non-Profit Organizations with the goal to evaluate existing collaborations and further develop
cooperation for implementing high-social-value programs. Additional information on the Stakeholder Engagement and a detailed
analysis of the relevant results for 2023 are provided a) in the Annual Sustainable Development Report 2023, scheduled for
release in June and available on the Company's website, and b) in https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/our-approach/our-
relationship-with-stakeholders/
Furthermore, the social initiatives undertaken by the Company at local level, especially in the category of enhancing local
infrastructure, are closely linked to the needs of each community and the broader region. These initiatives are shaped throug h
an open dialogue with local social partners. The Company communicates with its local communities in a clear and transparent
manner through the 'open door' policy, primarily implemented in the areas where its industrial units are located.
At the same time, strengthening the constructive relationship it has built over the years with social entities, MYTILINEOS
implements a system for managing and evaluating social demands that enhances transparency and ensures the sustainability of
its social investments.
The General Divisions of each Business Sector and subsidiary of MYTILINEOS are responsible for managing relationships with th e
local communities where they operate. Meanwhile, executives and members of the Company's individual Sustainability/ESG
teams within the Business Sectors manage the implementation of the social policy at local level and support the General Divisions
in managing relationships with local communities.
Principle E: Workforce policies and practices
The Code of Business Conduct of the Company serves as a record of the general principles which define the responsible busines s
conduct and the ethical rules that all the employees and business partners of MYTILINEOS are recommended and expected to
follow, as well as a record of the commitments of the Company’s Management towards its people. The Code ensures that all
Company activities adhere to the principle of integrity, thus safeguarding its reputation, which is its most valuable intangible
asset and, as any other asset, should not only be protected but should also be further developed, by ensuring that the conditions
that will allow this are in place. The Board has last approved the Code of Conduct in November 2019 and since then there has
not been the need for any update. The Audit Committee informs the Board of Directors on any findings the Compliance Division
may report to them.
In 2023, the Board of Directors approved the “Violence and Harassment Policy” of the Company for the prevention and combat
of incidents of violence and harassment in the workplace. The policy was developed, taking into consideration, among other
things, the obligations related to the implementation of the provisions of Part II of Law 4808/2021 for the prevention and
addressing of all forms of violence and harassment, including gender-based violence and harassment, as well as sexual
harassment. Additionally, an internal reporting process for incidents of violence and harassment was established, ensuring safe
and easily accessible communication channels for the reception of complaints. This process facilitates the immediate, timely, and
unbiased handling of such incidents, while simultaneously ensuring the respect for human dignity, confidentiality, and the
protection of personal data of the affected and reported individuals.
MYTILINEOS has established a whistleblowing process https://www.mytilineos.com/who-we-are/governance/compliance/ for all
employees to report any violation of the MYTILINEOS Code of Business Conduct
(https://www.mytilineos.com/media/mqhdwmxw/kodikas_deontologias_omilou_2019_gr_web.pdf) even on an anonymous

st
December 2023
basis. All incoming reports are being investigated by the appropriate personnel in confidentiality. MYTILINEOS has a non-
retaliation policy for the reporters that submit their reports in good faith.
Additionally, the Remuneration Policy for the Directors contributes to the Company’s business strategy and long-term interests
and sustainability by encouraging the Executive Directors to focus on sustained long-term value creation by providing a fair and
appropriate level of fixed remuneration and a balance of short and long-term incentives to ensure there is focus on short term
objectives that will over time build to create long-term value creation, as well as long-term goals. The remuneration policy is
based on the principle of paying fair and reasonable remuneration for the best and most appropriate person for the role while
ensuring that the Company pays fairly and competitively and in the longer-term interests and sustainability of the Company.
In anticipation of the expiration of the term of the 2019 Board Remuneration Policy, a new Board Remuneration Policy was
approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders on April 10, 2023, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association,
which stipulates that the Company submits the Remuneration Policy for approval at the General Meeting every four [4] years.
The main changes compared to the Board Remuneration Policy approved by the Regular General Meeting of Shareholders in
2019 concern the establishment of new targets for the long-term incentive program. Additionally, a new peer group of companies
with a similar size and related activities to the Company was created. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the
Board of Directors were informed about the broader structure and employee remuneration practices within the Company, which
were taken into account in the formulation and revision of the Policy. The Remuneration Policy is presented briefly in Sectio n
1.5.
The Company aims to apply the principle of Diversity (based, among other basic parameters, on gender, age, experience, skills
and knowledge) to the composition of its Board of Directors, of its executive management team and of all direct employees in all
its activities, where this is feasible. To this end, the Company in its diversity policy sets as its objective the achievement of targets
concerning the representation of women on the board, senior executives and direct employees. The diversity policy is disclosed
in Section 6 together with related targets. In 2023, the gender representation percentage on the Company's Board of Directors
was 25%, in accordance with the Greek Law 4706/2020 on corporate governance. The Company aims to increase this percentage
to 30% in the future, in combination with the enhancement of skills and the composition of the Board.
Finally, in 2023, MYTILINEOS conducted its first “Employee Engagement Survey” with the aim of capturing the working
environment and creating an internal communication tool that will help adopt practices and develop a corporate identity and
culture. This will serve as the foundation for implementing its strategic vision to become an “employer of choice”. Detailed
information about the “Employee Engagement Survey” conducted in 2023 is provided below, under Provision 5.
Provision 1. Reporting on actions to generate long-term value
The Board of Directors discusses the Company's strategy and monitors its implementation in each of its meetings, which are held
either in person or by video conference. In-depth analysis and discussion also is conducted at the executive sessions of the Non-
Executive Directors. Additional information is included in the Annual Report of the Board.
Provision 2. Monitoring and reporting on culture
The Code of Business Conduct applies to the Board, the management and the workforce. The Board overviews its implementation
and monitoring by acquiring reports and through in person meetings of its Audit Committee with the Internal Audit Director, the
Compliance and GDPR Director and the Non-Financial Enterprise Risk Manager. The reports are related to the controls on the
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
176
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
main parts of the Code that are built to ensure proper implementation. The Audit Committee receives and assesses the reports
and interacts with the Compliance Division if and when it deems appropriate on specific issues.
The Compliance and GDPR Director submitted two semi-annual reports to the Audit Committee in 2023, detailing the review of
all compliance areas. Specifically, these reports included new regulatory changes, new policies and procedures of the Compliance
function, such as on economic sanctions, third-party due diligence, gifts and hospitality, market abuse, beneficial ownership and
activities related to the declaration of assets, conflict of interest reporting, results of second-line compliance checks, statistics on
the use of reporting channels, and the outcome of their clarifications. Additionally, there was information on the employee
training program, including the program for the protection of personal data in accordance with the current legislative framework
(GDPR).
In 2023, the Board of Directors approved the “Economic Sanctions Policy” of the Company, the purpose of which is to ensure
MYTILINEOS' compliance with current economic sanctions resulting from the initiation and/or exercise of certain business
activities involving specific individuals and/or in specific countries. Specifically, the goal of this policy is to prevent MYTILINEOS
from engaging in transactions with restricted or named individuals or entities, conducting business activities that attract
restrictions, and conducting business activities in areas subject to sanctions. According to this policy, more than 2,000 audits
related to economic sanctions were conducted in 2023 on business partners, and these audits resulted in the non-
commencement of business activities in four cases.
In 2023, the Board of Directors also approved the “Anti-Fraud, Anti-Corruption, and Anti-Bribery Policy” with the aim of
compliance with the current legislative and regulatory framework for combating fraud, corruption, and bribery in every countr y
where the Company operates. The policy is based on the Company's zero-tolerance approach to instances of fraud, corruption,
and bribery in any form, directly or indirectly. It was developed in accordance with recognized standards for combating such
phenomena by international organizations such as the United Nations (UN Convention against Corruption - UN Global Compact),
Transparency International, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management System), as well as in agreement with the conduct rules outlined in
MYTILINEOS' Code of Ethics. Furthermore, the Audit Committee was informed about the educational material developed
regarding the fight against corruption and the whistleblowing channel.
The gifts and hospitality procedure was issued following the implementation of the “Anti-Fraud, Anti-Corruption, and Anti-Bribery
Policy” and was accompanied by the activation of a pre-approval tool.
In 2023, the Board of Directors approved the "Policy on the Internal Reporting Channel within the meaning of Law 4990/2022
(Whistleblowing)," providing information and guidance regarding internal reporting of information and events related to acts or
omissions that are illegal under both European Union and national law and fall within the scope of the policy, in accordance with
Law 4990/2022, which incorporated into Greek law the EU Directive 2019/1937 on whistleblowing. With the aforementioned
policy, which came into effect immediately after its approval by the Board of Directors, the Internal Reporting Channel is
established. The policy outlines the process of internal reporting, reception, and monitoring of reports, specifies the
responsibilities of the Monitoring Officer, and defines measures for the protection of individuals submitting reports. According
to the policy, individuals who can report violations include a broad range of persons, such as employees of the Company
connected to it in any form and duration of dependent employment, employees providing services to the Company under other
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
177

st
December 2023
forms of contracts, former or prospective employees, consultants, specialized collaborators, and other professionals offering
services to the Company, shareholders, members of the Board of Directors, and Board Committee members.
Additionally, the annual conflict of interest review was conducted, during which no conflicts of interest were identified.
Furthermore, periodic compliance checks related to corruption and fraud did not yield significant findings. In the whistleblowing
channel, a small number of reports were received and investigated. From the investigation, it was found that some reports were
not substantiated, while the remaining ones were of minor significance. Finally, the GDPR program was determined to be
generally functioning satisfactorily.
During the planning of the employee engagement survey, the Compliance function posed eight questions related to employees'
compliance perception, derived from the compliance index for the organization. The results will be analyzed in 2024, and if
necessary, relevant actions will be scheduled.
Additionally, the Company publishes a specific ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Scorecard on its official website
https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/esg-performance/esg-scorecard/ , featuring additional non-financial and hybrid
performance indicators that capture the correlation between MYTILINEOS' environmental performance and its economic success.
The continuous reduction in the trend of these indicators indicates that the increased economic value of the Company (i.e., the
increase in net profits) is achieved with progressively less impact on the natural resources used in its activities. This confirms that
the implementation of the business strategy is carried out in conjunction with the company's commitment to the principles of
Sustainable Development and responsible practices.
The remuneration policy supports its short and long-term business plan, so as to continue creating value for customers,
shareholders, employees and the Greek economy. The level of fixed pay for Directors is established on the basis of paying no
more than is necessary, always supporting the Company’s longer-term interests and sustainability.
The Policy provides for variable compensation arrangements for Executive Directors to further align the Executive Directors’
interests with those of the Company as the performance conditions used will be based on indicators of the long-term success
and sustainability of the Company. The remuneration policy is disclosed on the Company’s website
https://www.mytilineos.com/who-we-are/governance/corporate-governance/regulations-policies/.
The Remuneration Policy is disclosed in Section 1.5.
Provision 3. Engagement with shareholders
The Executive Chairman engages in constructive dialogue and communication with the company's major institutional investors
throughout the year through various means. This includes during the Annual General Meeting, through teleconferences held in
conjunction with semi-annual and annual financial results, during the annual briefing of domestic institutional investors held at
the company's headquarters, as well as in private meetings with key institutional investors, both upon their request and before
significant corporate events initiated by the Company. In 2023, the focus was on various sources contributing to the profitability
of MYTILINEOS, as well as its main strategic orientation for the future. The Company's Investor Relations Division participated in
nine conferences and NDRS in Europe and the USA during 2023. In some of these events, the Chairman of MYTILINEOS also took
part, discussing a wide range of topics, including the Company's short-term and long-term profitability goals, sustainability issues,
and the Company's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance.
Furthermore, throughout the year, several meetings take place for analysts and bank professionals to provide more details
regarding the Company's progress in its plans, long-term strategy, efficiency, and future development planning.

The Chairman also engages in extensive discussions with questions and answers with minority shareholders during the Annual
General Meeting. Matters of interest to shareholders, if highlighted, are discussed in the Board of Directors. Additionally, the
Lead Independent Director is available to investors.
Finally, the Company ensures to conduct constructive dialogue with shareholders and proxy advisors on corporate governance
matters. Since 2020, this effort has been reinforced by organizing annual targeted Corporate Governance Roadshows. These
events aim to maintain an active dialogue with the stewardship teams of major investors, both before the Annual General
Meeting and throughout the year. The Lead Independent Director, the Chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee,
members of the Board of Directors, the Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Central Function, and the Corporate
Secretary participate in these events.
During 2023, the annual Corporate Governance Roadshow took place, addressing key institutional investors. Discussions covered
various topics, including the Company's performance, its organizational restructuring and the purposes it serves, compliance with
the UK Corporate Governance Code, succession planning, the evaluation of Board committees, the Company's new Enterprise
Risk Management framework, ESG performance, remuneration issues, and new policies and procedures adopted by the Company
regarding whistleblowing, fraud prevention, anti-corruption, bribery, and financial sanctions. Additionally, several meetings with
institutional investors and proxy advisors were held to discuss corporate governance matters.

of shareholders, with percentages ranging from 100% to 90.17%. These percentages significantly exceeded the 80% threshold of
the represented paid-up share capital, as set by the UK Corporate Governance Code. Specifically, regarding the remuneration
report for the year 2022, for which the shareholder vote is advisory according to Article 112 of Law 4548/2018, the percentag e

the advisory vote very seriously and collaborates with shareholders to ensure that their comments are taken into account. The
Board of Directors remains fully committed to achieving the highest governance standards while recognizing the importance of
providing appropriate incentives to the Board and the Executive Management of the Company in alignment with the Company's
strategic goals.
In this context, in accordance with Provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, following the Annual General Meeting,
meetings were conducted during the annual Corporate Governance Roadshow with the shareholder engagement departments
of significant institutional investors of the Company. One of the main topics of discussion in these meetings was the specific
agenda item of the Ordinary General Meeting. The results of these discussions are included in the 2023 Remuneration Report.
Provision 5. Engagement with stakeholders and workforce representation
Full account of how the Board takes into account the interests of various stakeholders’ groups is provided in the Sustainable
Development Report 2023 which becomes available by the time of the AGM in June 2024 on the website
https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/reports/. As part of its engagement process MYTILINEOS has developed a specific
Stakeholders Consultation process https://www.mytilineos.com/sustainability/our-approach/our-relationship-with-
stakeholders/ . This practice expresses the Company’s long-standing principle to engage with its Stakeholders through a
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
179
Annual Financial Report for the period

st

systematic and sincere dialogue. As a corporate institution, the Stakeholders Consultation process, has been carried out
consistently on annual basis since 2011 and is subject to self-assessment and self-improvement procedures.
The Materiality process, i.e. the process of identifying, understanding and prioritizing the sustainability issues, is one of the key
elements in the Company’s responsible operation. Τhe Company's open dialogue with its Stakeholders, in addition to enhancing
its ability to understand the impact of its activities, enriches this process with new inputs. The workforce participates in the
process of determining the material Sustainable Development topics through a relevant Social Partner survey that was carried
out in 2022 and takes place every two years based on the official MYTILINEOS process.
In 2023, the Company implemented the internal review stage of the 2022 process, with the participation of key sectors of its
business activities. The findings of this internal exercise were combined with the corresponding findings from the survey
conducted on more than 2,400 individuals, entities, and organizations from all of the Company's Social Partners' groups in 2022,
addressing the same recognized issues. The results of this process are published in the Annual Report of the Board of Directors.
Additionally, during 2023, and in accordance with the existing mechanisms for receiving complaints from the industrial units,
there was no significant adverse impact from the Company's activities on the local communities, both in terms of social and
environmental impact and at the economic level. Simultaneously, the Company maintained high levels of local employment for
another year, as over 8 out of 10 directly and indirectly employed individuals come from the communities directly adjacent to its
industrial units and the wider area.
An overall investment of over 3 million euros was made in the implementation of comprehensive social programs and other socia l
actions and initiatives at both central and local levels, benefiting 162,470 citizens (2022: 89,605) across various sectors. These
sectors include the development of local infrastructure and services (51%), support for culture and sports (24%), enhancement
of health and education (13%), and alleviation of poverty and food insecurity (7%).
MYTILINEOS, in order to determine the social value generated by its investments in key social programs, applies the international,
widely accepted Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology. This involves a holistic approach through which the Company
calculates the impact it creates and makes informed decisions with the aim of maximizing the value returned by the investment
made for each social program. The SROI methodology measures the social value of a program, stemming from the experiences
of those directly involved, i.e., the changes they undergo in their lives, using economic terms as a common denominator to
express this value. In 2023, the results of three key social programs of the Company were analyzed, with SROI ratios ranging from
3.03:1 to 6.12:1. This means that for every 1 euro invested in each program, a corresponding social value of 3.03 to 6.12 euros
was generated.
For the purpose of setting remuneration, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors receive
periodic updates on the wider employee remuneration structure and practices within the Company, which are considered when
establishing and revisiting the Remuneration Policy. In addition, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Board of
Directors are provided with information on remuneration trends across the Company including average pay increases along with
any relevant economic data, such as the rate of inflation to take into account when operating the Policy.
In 2023, MYTILINEOS conducted its first “employee engagement survey" ("Survey") with the assistance of an external consultant
(Great Place to Work) and based on industry best practices. The results of this Survey will be discussed in the Remuneration and
Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company. Additionally, a relevant presentation and discussion will take
place with the Company's employees within the first half of 2024. The Company aimed to capture the work environment through
this Survey and create an internal communication tool that would help in adopting practices and developing a corporate identity
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
180
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
and culture. This would serve as the foundation for implementing its vision to become an "employer of choice." The following
stages were followed for the execution of the Survey:
(1) Measurement and monitoring of employee engagement as a key factor for high performance.
(2) Providing MYTILINEOS employees with a mechanism to actively participate in shaping the work environment and culture.
(3) Enhancing understanding between executives and staff regarding how MYTILINEOS can better engage its people, thus
achieving improved results through increased productivity, continuous exploration of more effective and efficient work methods,
and innovation.
(4) Guiding focused administrative action across organizational business sectors of MYTILINEOS.
Provision 6. Whistleblowing
The Company encourages and expects its employees to report serious violations of the Code of Business Conduct, when they
become aware of them or when these are brought to their attention. The issues to be reported fall within the scope of Law

services, and capital, as well as issues covered by Law 4808/2021 for the prevention and combat of violence and harassment in
the workplace.
Reports may be submitted by individuals associated with the Company in any current, former, or prospective employment
relationship, as well as by anyone working under the supervision and management of contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers
of the Company. To receive and record these reports, the Company has established four reporting channels (through a platform,
via email, by phone, and through regular mail) for the submission of named or anonymous reports.
All reports are initially checked for their credibility, and in affirmative cases, they are assigned to the competent superior for
clarification and investigation. Subsequently, the reporter is informed of the outcome, and if deemed necessary, further actions
are taken, such as corrective activities or disciplinary measures.
During 2023, the Compliance and GDPR Director presented statistics to the Board of Directors' Audit Committee for each
semester regarding incoming reports, investigation results, and subsequent actions. Specifically, a small number of reports were
received through the reporting channel, and they were investigated. The investigation revealed that some allegations were not
substantiated, while the remaining ones were of minor significance. The Audit Committee informed the Board of Directors
accordingly.
Provision 7. Conflicts of interest
Each member of the Board has a duty of loyalty to the Company. Board members act with integrity and in the Company’s interest s
and safeguard the confidentiality of information that is not publicly available. They must not have a relationship of competition
with the Company and should avoid any position or activity that creates or appears to create a conflict between their persona l
interests and those of the Company in accordance with the legislation and its Articles of Association.

vi. Determines, with the assistance of the Company Secretary, the agenda of the Board meetings and ensures that

Principle G: Board balance and decision-making
The Board has 12 members. Of these: a) four members, namely the Chair & CEO, the Vice Chair B and two other member are
Company executives, b) Vice Chair A’ is non-executive and c) seven members are independent non-executive. During the General
Meeting on June 1, 2023, Mr. Christos Gavalas, Chief Treasury and IR Officer, was elected as a new Board Member. More
information is provided below, under Provision 18.
Both Board committees, the Audit Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, are completely independent.
The separation of responsibilities between the executive management and the Board of Directors is clear, as described in the
Company’s Int ernal Regulation https://www.mytilineos.com/media/gvmjhr3v/en_mytilineos_internal_regulation.pdf and the
Terms of Reference of the Board of Directors. Prevention of excessive burden arising from the professional commitments of the
members, outside the Company, is regulated in the Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Board of Directors of the Company
and the Terms of Reference of the Board of Directors and falls within the competence of the Remuneration and Nomination
Committee.
Non-executive Board members’ other assignments are considered at the nomination process as to avoid over-boarding and
reviewed every year by the Remuneration and Nomination committee. Other appointments and commitments are reported in
Section 2.1.9.
Principle H: The role of non-executive directors
The Non-Executive Members of the Board do not have executive responsibilities regarding the management of the Company
within their remit, beyond the general duties stemming from their capacity as Board members and have been entrusted with the
role of systematic supervision and monitoring of Management’s decision-making.
According to the Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors of the Company, which was
approved by resolution of the AGM of MYTILINEOS, dated 15 June 2021, and the Terms of Reference of the Board of Directors,
approved in 2022, Board members should not sit in the boards of directors of more than five (5) companies whose shares are
traded in a regulated market. The Terms of Reference of the Board of Directors also provide that assumption of any significant
external commitments by existing non-executive members of the Board, such as, but not limited to, directorships in other listed
companies, may not be made without the prior approval of the Board of Directors.

Provision 9. Chair and Chief Executive
The Board Chair is also the CEO of the Company. The Board evaluates the topic of split vs dual role for the Chair/CEO position.
The dual role under the founder of the Company Mr. Mytilineos has helped the Company streamline its operating model and
leverage synergies between its different BUs as well as delivering outstanding results. Following the outstanding performance in
the years 2021-2022, MYTILINEOS achieved a record profit in 2023, despite the exceptionally unstable and uncertain global
economic environment. A series of actions further strengthened the Company's credit profile, as evidenced by recent upgrades
from FITCH and S&P, with MYTILINEOS being just one step away from the investment-grade level. The above performance
significantly surpassed the targets set by the Company for 2023.
In this context, it is the Company's belief that any change in its current organizational model would not be beneficial to the
Company. Given his unique experience and leadership capacity, the Company's Founder, Mr. Mytilineos will continue to play a
critical role going forward.
Given the dual role, the Company has introduced a number of initiatives to ensure an elevated level of independence which
include:
a) appointment of the Lead Independent Director with the purpose of providing guidance to the Board of Directors due to
the fact that the roles of the CEO and the Chairman coincide in the same individual;
b) ensuring a majority- independent Board;
c) participation of exclusively independent non-executive members in the committees of the Board of Directors;
d) strengthening of the Compliance processes, under the Audit Committee and
e) launching a Succession Planning exercise to ensure initiatives to enhance the Group’s organisational and process
capabilities are accelerated.
Provision 10. Independence of directors
Independent non-executive Board members are approved as such by the shareholders at the time they stand for election. As
noted above, under Principle G, seven out of twelve Board members are Independent Non-Executive Directors. Specifically, the
Independent Non-Executive Members are the following:
Panayiota Antonakou,
Anthony Bartzokas,
Emmanouil Kakaras,
Konstantina Mavraki,
Natalia Nicolaidis,
Ioannis Petrides,
Alexios Pilavios.
More information on the Independent Non-Executive Members of the Board of Directors is available in Section 2.2 and in Section
8. Independent non-executive members at the time of their appointment and during their term of office, do not hold, directly or
indirectly, a percentage of voting rights greater than zero-point five percent (0.5%) of the Company's share capital and do not
maintain any economic, business, family or other kind of dependency relationship, which may influence their decisions and affect
their independent and objective judgment.
In that sense, a dependency relationship, shall exist, indicatively, in the following cases:

dependency relationship of the independent Board members and of the persons closely associated with them; and, on the other
hand, for assessing the fulfilment of independence criteria.
The Independent Non-Executive members of the Board may submit, jointly or separately, reports to the General Meeting
(ordinary or extraordinary) of the Company, independently of the reports submitted by the Board of Directors. Such reports shall
include, as a minimum, the following:

It is in the Remuneration and Nomination Committee's remit to review the independence of the non- executive directors before

Provision 11. Half the board to be independent
On 31.12.2023 the Board of Directors consisted of 12 members, seven (58%) of whom were independent. At the AGM of 2 June

1.3 COMPOSITION, SUCCESSION AND EVALUATION
Principle J: Board appointments and succession planning
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on appointments
against objective criteria and with due regard for the benefits of diversity on the Board, including gender, breadth of experience,
amongst other criteria, in accordance with the Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors of
MYTILINEOS, which was approved by the AGM on 15 June 2021. It is in the Committee’s remit to prepare a description of the
role, capabilities and personal attributes required for a particular appointment; to develop criteria for identifying and evaluating
director candidates. Also it is part of the Committee’s remit to care for the orderly succession and make recommendations for
appointment and reappointment by the Board of both executive directors and independent non-executive directors.
The first ever formal succession planning exercise was completed in late 2021 with facilitation provided by Egon Zehnder. Among
other, the purpose of the project was to record the set of skills that would be required in the future to meet the needs of a
growing, complex, and internationalized business. The results of this project were evaluated and taken into account for the new
organizational structure of the Company (Big Two), which was completed in January 2023.
Specifically, by decision of the Board of Directors on January 10, 2023, the new organizational structure of the Company was
unanimously approved with retroactive effect of the new organizational chart from January 1, 2023. This structure aligns with
the current needs of the Company, harmonizes with its new strategy, and strengthens the synergies of its business model. Based
on the new organizational structure, the Company has two (2) business sectors:
(a) the new Energy Division, led by Giannis Kalafatas - Chief Executive Director, Energy, and
(b) the Metallurgy Division, led by Dimitris Stefanidis - Chief Executive Director, Metallurgy.
The top and senior management of the Company are completed by:
Evangelos Chrysafis, Vice-Chairman and executive member of the Board of Directors for Regulatory and Strategic Energy and
Infrastructure Matters;
Christos Gavalas, Chief Treasury & IR Officer and executive member of the Board of Directors with a supervisory role on the

Principle K: Skills, experience and knowledge
It is up to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to make recommendations for approval by the Board of the membership

Following the assessment of the collective suitability of the Board of Directors, which was completed in 2020, and the evaluation
conducted in 2022 focusing on individual skills and contributions to the Board, an assessment of the Board's committees was
carried out in 2023. Information regarding the evaluations that took place in 2023 is included below, under Provision 21.
Provision 17. Nomination committee
The Company has a combined Remuneration and Nomination Committee which examines and processes issues pertaining to:
(a) the remuneration of Board members and of senior and other executives; and (b) the suitability of existing and candidate
directors, within the scope of its remit under its Terms of Reference. The Committee revisited its Terms of Reference, which
were approved and put into effect by the Resolution of the Board of Directors dated 26.07.2021, following relevant proposals
submitted by the Committee.
Details on the composition, tenure, functioning, decision-making and meetings of the combined Committee are available under
Provision 32.
The nomination responsibilities of the Committee include the following:

v. to establish and oversee an objective and rigorous evaluation process of the Board and Board Committees, including
assessing suitability at individual and collective level;
vi. to oversee the induction process of new Directors and their ongoing training in accordance with the relevant Training
Policy that the Company has adopted and applies;
vii. to regularly assess and review the Board’ s size, structure, composition and operation and, if it identifies weaknesses,
to recommend to the Board relevant changes as appropriate;
viii. to be responsible for drawing up the Company’s Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board,
which shall then be submitted to the Board for its approval, as well as any amendments thereof.
Provision 18. Director election
The current Board, with the exception of one member, was appointed by the 2022 AGM. Nominees were submitted unbundled
to the General Meeting of the Shareholders of 2022 for approval.
Furthermore, by decision of the 33rd Ordinary General Meeting of the Company, held on June 1, 2023, Mr. Christos Gavalas was
elected as a member of the Board of Directors, with a term until June 2, 2026. During its meeting on June 1, 2023, the Board
appointed Mr. Christos Gavalas as an executive member.
The Board's proposal to submit Mr. Christos Gavalas' candidacy as a Board member to the General Meeting was unanimous and
followed the recommendation and proposal of the Company's Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Mr. Gavalas has been
with the Company since 2001, initially serving as the Director of Finance, and as of January 10, 2023, he has taken on the role of
Chief Treasury & IR Officer. His participation was deemed beneficial for strengthening the financial/audit skills of the Board,
enhancing its role in the broader financial sector, and strengthening the Company's communication with its shareholders, given
Mr. Gavalas' excellent collaboration with the investment community.
Pursuant to Article 19(2) of the Company’s Articles of Association, Board Members are elected by the General Meeting of
Shareholders of the Company for a term of four (4) years, to be extended until the expiration of the time period within which
the immediately next Ordinary General Meeting is to be held and until the adoption of the relevant resolution. In the Greek
market, there is a long-standing tradition that members of the Boards of Directors of listed companies are elected for a term of
more than one year, mainly for reasons of ensuring the smoothness and continuity of management in companies, as well as to
avoid additional administrative burden. However, the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company reserves in any case the
right to recall, whenever it wishes or deems appropriate, the Board of Directors in whole or in part. In addition, every year, an
assessment of the Board of Directors is carried out both at individual and collective level as well as a control on the fulfilment of
the independence criteria of the Independent Non-Executive Directors.
Provision 19. Length of service of Chair
The Chair has been serving for over 30 years. With the completion in 2023 of the new corporate transformation, the organisation
structure of Mytilineos now has two business lines: a) the new Energy Sector and b) the Metallurgy Sector, which are fully
integrated and complementary.
The new organization will allow for the further development of our leadership bench to meet future succession needs, whilst
ensuring that all the critical competencies required in this new era for Mytilineos, both individual as well as collective, are in
place.
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
191
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Mr. Mytilineos is the architect of the Company transformation and the Company strategy, hence his vision, knowledge, and
involvement are integral to its materialization. In view of the new challenges facing the Group, the Company believes that any
change today in its organisational model would not be beneficial to the Group. Given his unique experience and leadership
capacity, our Founder Mr. Mytilineos will continue to play a critical role going forward.
Provision 20. Appointment process
In accordance with its Terms of Reference, in order to assist it in the search process for suitable candidates for Board members,
the Remuneration and Nomination Committee may request the assistance of an external consultant to whom it may assign
specific tasks. These tasks may, where appropriate, include conducting a survey of potential Board members, drawing up a list of
preferred candidates and assessing their suitability, in accordance with the instructions of the Remuneration and Nomination
Committee. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee shall then assess the suitability of the candidates to fill the positions
on the Board and submit its proposals to the Board with the assistance, where appropriate, of the Lead Independent Director.
The Committee, in preparation for submitting its proposal to the Board of Directors for the re-election of Board members by the
General Meeting in 2022, was assisted in evaluating the (individual and collective) suitability of the Board members nominate d
during the General Meeting on June 2, 2022, by the company Egon Zehnder. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee
recommended the engagement of Egon Zehnder for the aforementioned support, based on its leadership position in the Greek
market, its knowledge of the Company, and the value of its exclusive global standard in assessing the performance of the Board.
Additionally, it enlisted the assistance of Egon Zehnder for the first official succession planning project, completed in late 2021,
the results of which were considered for the new organizational structure of the Company completed in 2023. The same compan y
provided services in 2023 for finding a suitable candidate for the Chief of Staff position, for which Ms. Fotini Ioannou was selected
from among several candidates. Egon Zehnder also collaborates with the Human Resources Division in sourcing executives for
senior management positions.
Provision 21. Board evaluation
Board effectiveness was evaluated by an external evaluator, as mentioned above, in two stages: First, by conducting an
assessment of the collective suitability of the Board completed in 2020 and second, by conducting an assessment completed in
2022 that focused on individual capabilities and Board impact. Following a review of available providers, the Remuneration and
Nomination Committee proposed Egon Zender to facilitate the process based on their leading position in the Greek marketplace,
knowledge of the Mytilineos Group and the value of their proprietary global template in evaluating Board performance.
As a conclusion, the 2 Board evaluation exercises strengthened the Board’s effectiveness whilst the initiatives executed have
already shown a material improvement in the ability of the Board to add value.
Following the two aforementioned evaluations of the Board of Directors, during 2023, the Company, with the assistance of
different external consultants for each committee (PWC for the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, Deloitte for the Audit
Committee, and KPMG for the Sustainability Committee), conducted assessments of the three committees of the Board. The goal
was to identify opportunities for improving their effectiveness. The evaluation covered the responsibilities, dynamics,
composition, skills, knowledge, and experience of the committee members, as well as their reporting, communication, and
monitoring activities, taking into account national legislation and the UK Corporate Governance Code. The tools used during the
evaluation process included, among others, personal interviews, observation of meetings, examination of documents and
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
192
Annual Financial Report for the period

st
December 2023
procedures, and a self-assessment questionnaire. As part of the evaluation, opinions were sought from members of the Board of
Directors, senior management, the Corporate Secretary, the Internal Audit Division, and the external auditor. The evaluation and
access to relevant information, which was not of a confidential nature, were supported by the Corporate Secretary and the
Corporate Governance Division. The engagement of the mentioned consultants was based on their leadership position in the
Greek and global markets, in accordance with their profiles and their experience in relevant projects. All three external
consultants also provided additional services to the Company. Specifically, KPMG offered consulting, financial, and tax services,
Deloitte provided consulting services (such as, customer relationship management software, IT applications), and PwC provided
services, including accounting support, payroll services, and human resources management.
Independently of the evaluation of the Board of Directors, the annual evaluation of the Chairman & CEO, led by the Lead
Independent Director, was conducted and subsequently reviewed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The
evaluation was carried out along different areas of CEO accountability, including Strategic Development, Organizational
effectiveness, Board Effectiveness, ESG progress and delivery of 2022 Financial Targets. The evaluation was discussed with th e
Chairman & CEO both individually and at Board level and was a critical input into the 2022 STIP review.
Furthermore, in the Terms of Reference of the Board of Directors, it was explicitly provided for, among other, that the person
being evaluated shall also participate in the evaluation and performance review process, shall be informed in advance of the
evaluation rules by means of an open information process, and shall have the opportunity to record any objections or complaints.
It was also foreseen that the results of the evaluation and performance review of the Executive Board members should be shared
with and discussed by the Board as a whole, while at the same time they should be taken into consideration in the Board
succession process. The Chair should take appropriate action based on the results of the evaluation, acknowledging the strengths
and addressing any weaknesses of the Board, whilst each member of the Board should actively engage with this process and take
appropriate action when improvement needs have been identified.
Provision 22. Evaluation follow-up
On the conclusion of the evaluation of its Committees, the Board of Directors discussed in detail the results and approved a
programme of actions to further improve their functioning and effectiveness. Among other, the decision was made to enhance
the Company's risk management framework. This project was completed and implemented in 2023 with the assistance of
McKinsey and coordinated internally by the Lead Independent Director. Additionally, there is an ongoing initiative to improve
the cross-committee coordination among the three committees and better leverage synergies between them. Furthermore, it
was decided to implement certain improvement measures, such as, providing training for committee members regarding the
new requirements established by EU law regarding sustainability reporting.
Provision 23. Reporting on the Nomination Committee
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee held during 2023 five (5) meetings. All members of the Committee attended all
the meetings.
Assessment of the suitability of a new Board member
For the purpose of assessing the suitability of the Board member who waw a candidate for election at the General Meeting of 1
June 2023, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee discussed in detail and approved the candidacy of Mr. Christos Gavalas,
which was subsequently proposed to the Board of Directors. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee examined and
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
193
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
assessed the suitability of Mr. Gavalas according to the approved Policy for the Suitability of Members of the Board of Directors
of the Company. This assessment encompassed the adequacy of his knowledge and skills, including academic and professional
qualifications, the sufficiency of his professional experience, as well as the relevance of his position and the requisite capabilities
expected by the Company. Additionally, it considered the absence of any impediments or conflicts in his person, his integrity and
honesty, good reputation, and the adequacy of his time commitment.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee also examined and determined the collective suitability of the Board of Directors
in the event of Mr. Gavalas' election as a member, taking into consideration:
i. the assessment of the collective and individual capabilities of the Board of Directors;
ii. the curriculum vitae and other professional commitments of the proposed candidate for the Board of Directors;
iii. the provisions of the legislative framework, the approved Policy for the Suitability of Members of the Board of Directors,
the Company's Diversity Policy, the UK Corporate Governance Code adopted and implemented by the Company, as well
as the Directors’ In dependence Policy and the Procedure for assessing independence criteria and for disclosing
dependency relationships.
Based on the above, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee has determined that, following the election of the proposed
member:
i. the requirements regarding gender representation are met adequately;
ii. the total number of independent non-executive members on the Board of Directors is fulfilled; and
iii. the suitability criteria specified by the current regulatory framework and the Policy for the Suitability of Members of the
Board of Directors of the Company are satisfied.
Assessment of the suitability of the Board of Directors and fulfillment of the independence criteria for Independent Non-
Executive Board Members
In March 2023, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee conducted the annual assessment of the individual suitability of
the members of the Board of Directors, as well as the assessment of its collective suitability, and submitted relevant
recommendations to the Board of Directors. The Committee, after examining and assessing the members of the Board of
Directors individually, as well as the Board collectively, took into account:
i. the external independent assessment of the collective and individual capabilities of the Board of Directors, as
summarized in provision 21 of the Corporate Governance Statement 2022;
ii. the annual evaluation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, led by the Lead Independent Director, taking into
account the opinions of all non-executive members, as well as its subsequent review by the Remuneration and
Nomination Committee itself, as summarized in the Remuneration Report of article 112 of Law 4548/2018 for the year
2022;
iii. the skills, experience, knowledge, and qualifications of the members of the Board of Directors, as well as their resumes
and CVs;
iv. the other professional commitments of the members of the Board of Directors;
v. the provisions of Law 4706/2020, the approved Policy for the Suitability of Board Members, the Company's Diversity
Policy, the UK Corporate Governance Code adopted and implemented by the Company, as well as the Directors’
Independence Policy and the Procedure for assessing independence criteria and for disclosing dependency relationships;
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
194
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
and concluded that the following conditions are met:
i. regarding gender representation adequacy;
ii. the total number of independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors; and
iii. the suitability criteria specified by the current regulatory framework and the Internal Regulations of the Company.
Specifically, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee assessed the suitability of each member of the Board of Directors
individually, taking into account the adequacy of their knowledge and skills, including academic and professional qualifications,
for performing the duties of their assigned role, the sufficiency of their professional experience and the requisite capabilities
expected by the Company as well as the absence of any impediments or conflicts in their person, their integrity and honesty, good
reputation, and their time commitment. Additionally, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee assessed and determined
the collective suitability of the Board of Directors, concluding that its composition reflects the knowledge, skills, and experience
required for the exercise of its responsibilities. The Committee also found that the members of the Board collectively possess the
necessary skills to present their views effectively. Furthermore, it was noted that collectively, the Board members have suff icient
expertise to cover all the areas in which the Company operates (Electric Energy & Natural Gas, Metallurgy, Renewable Energy
Sources & Energy Storage Development, and Sustainable Development Projects), as well as related subjects (including finance a nd
capital markets).
Furthermore, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee determined that the independent non-executive members of the
Board of Directors, specifically Panagiota Antonakou, Emmanouil Kakaras, Konstantina Mavraki, Antonios Bartzokas, Natalia
Nikolaidi, Ioannis Petridis, and Alexios Pilavios, each meet the independence criteria outlined in Article 9, paragraphs 1 & 2 of Law
4706/2020, the UK Corporate Governance Code adopted and implemented by the Company since January 1, 2019, as well as the
Directors’ Independence Policy. This determination was based on the information provided by th e members themselves to the
Company, which, to the extent possible, was verified by the Company. Specifically, within the framework of audits conducted by
the Internal Audit Division and reflected in its Reports: (a) “Review of the adequacy of the Corporate Governance System's de sign"
and (b) "Audit of the compliance process with obligations arising from the framework for Transactions with Related Parties" it was
confirmed that the aforementioned individuals do not directly hold as natural persons a voting rights percentage >0.5% of the
Company's share capital, and that they do not receive any other remuneration or benefit from the Company or any entity
associated with it, beyond the remuneration provided for in the approved Remuneration Policy for Board Members. Furthermore,
sampled transactions of suppliers and customers to the Company and its subsidiaries maintaining SAP were audited, without
identifying transactions involving the independent members of the Board of Directors and their related parties. From other
available information within the Company's disposal, including the Declaration of Independence of the Company's statutory
auditor, there is no indication that the aforementioned individuals do not meet the independence criteria.
Finally, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee confirmed the fulfillment of the suitability criteria for the members of the
Audit Committee, namely that all members collectively possess sufficient knowledge in the areas in which the Company operates,
and at least one member has demonstrably adequate recent knowledge in auditing and/or accounting and is mandatory present
at the meetings of the Committee concerning the approval of the financial statements.

Approval of the organizational chart and submission of the relevant recommendation to the Board of Directors
The Committee thoroughly discussed the new organizational chart of the Company and the roles and key responsibilities of the
top management executives (N-1), the management executives (N-2), as well as the Business Partners, and made a relevant
recommendation to the Board of Directors.
Human Resources issues
The Committee was briefed by the Human Resources Division and thoroughly discussed:
a. The "Job Grading Scale" project (Mytilineos Job Model - formerly Organizational Grading), aimed at addressing challenges such
as the large number of job titles and the need to align the Company's organizational structure with the Group's rapid growth.
Among the advantages of completing this project, the clarity of role responsibilities, the maintenance of internal equity, and the
attraction of individuals with advancement opportunities were highlighted, along with the alignment of Human Resources policies
with the new job grading scale and the creation of career paths. The Committee members approved the progress of the work
and submitted a relevant recommendation to the Board of Directors. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
b. The "Employee Engagement Survey" project, for which the Company enlisted the support of the consulting firm Great Place
To Work following a project tender. The objective of the conducted survey was a) to assess the work environment and b) to
create an internal communication tool that would contribute to the adoption of best practices and the development of corporate
identity and culture, which would serve as the basis for implementing the Company's strategic plan to become an "employer of
choice." The Committee extensively discussed the methodology, characteristics, and benefits of the project, such as
transparency, objectivity, cost efficiency, as well as the improvement of issues related to staff performance.
c. The Policy for Selection & Appointment of Senior Management Executives, and the Policy for Recruitment & Selection of
Personnel. Both policies are expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
The members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee also discussed and were informed about the Company's efforts
to fill the position of Chief of Staff, which was implemented with the assistance of the consulting firm Egon Zehnder. The
Remuneration and Nomination Committee, considering the job description and responsibilities of the position, as well as the CVs
of the most suitable candidates, pre-approved Ms. Fotini Ioannou for the position and agreed on her remuneration. Ms. Fotini
Ioannou assumed her duties on June 12, 2023.
Training of Board Members
In the context of the training of the Board members, during 2023 two training programmes were completed (via an online
platform) on the following topics of Regulatory Compliance: a) anti-corruption and b) whistleblower channel.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee informed the Board about its work in the year 2023.

1.4 AUDIT, RISK AND INTERNAL AUDIT
Principle M: Internal and external audit
The Audit Committee of the Company has been established with the purpose of assisting the Board of Directors to fulfil its
oversight responsibilities of the audit procedures for complying with the legal and regulatory framework regarding: (a) financial
information, (b) internal audit, (c) the system of internal controls and the risk management system, and (d) supervision of the
(external) statutory audit of the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements.
While all members of the Board individually and collectively have a duty to act in the interests of the company, the Committe e
has a particular role, acting independently from the executive Board Members, to ensure that the interests of shareholders ar e
properly protected in relation to financial reporting and internal control and risk management systems. However, the Board has
overall responsibility for the Company's approach to risk management and the system of internal controls.
Principle N: The company’s position and prospects
At the end of each business year, the Board of Directors prepares the annual financial statements, the annual consolidated
financial statements and the management report.
The financial statements constitute a single comprehensive set and give a fair presentation of the recognized assets, liabilities,
equity, income, expenses, profit and loss, as well as the cash flows of the period concerned, as the case may be, in conformance
with the law. More specifically, the Board of Directors is required to prepare, pursuant to the above provisions: (a) the Balance
Sheet or Financial Position Statement, (b) the Income Statement, (c) the Statement of Equity Change, (d) the Cash Flow
Statement, (e) the Notes to the Financial Statements.
The management report provides:
(a) A fair review of the development and performance of the Company business and its position, together with a description
of the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company;
(b) A review that presents a balanced and comprehensive analysis of the development and performance of the Company
business and position, consistent with the size and the complexity of the Company;
(c) To the extent necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the Company, the said
analysis includes both financial and, where appropriate, non-financial key performance indicators relevant to the particular
business of the Company, including information on environmental and labour issues. In the context of this analysis, the report
includes, where appropriate, references and additional explanations on the amounts shown in the annual financial
statements.
In the management report the Company includes:
(a) a non-financial statement that includes information, to the extent necessary for an understanding of the development,
performance, position and impact of its activities in relation, as a minimum, to environmental, social and labour issues, the
respect of human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery practices
(b) the corporate governance statement, which is included as a separate part in the management report.

Principle O: Determining and managing risks
The Board defines the strategy and is informed on significant risk factors such as financial, environmental, social, health a nd
safety, and governance.
The Company has defined risk as a set of uncertain and unpredictable situations that may affect all its activities, its business
operation and its financial performance, as well as the implementation of its strategy and the achievement of its goals
In line with this approach, it has established a specific risk management approach in all its areas of activity where certain risks
have been recognized. This approach consists of the following steps:
i. Identification and assessment of risk factors
ii. Planning of the risk management policy
iii. Implementation and evaluation of the risk management policy.
The Company has defined specific and comprehensive Risk Management Procedures. All executives are involved in the process
of identifying and initially assessing risk to facilitate the work of the management of each business sector and the Board of
Directors in the planning and approval of specific actions within the approved Risk Management Procedures.
With regard to Non-Financial Information, since 2010 the Company has introduced a specific Stakeholder engagement process
for evaluating the materiality of the sustainability issues which are related to its activity sectors. This process, combined with the
corresponding prioritization of these issues by the Company’s Business Units, is at the core of the accountability policy app lied
by the Company.
The process for determining the material sustainability issues is an ongoing exercise that is constantly developed and improved.
The purpose of this process is to highlight the issues that reflect the Company’s significant environmental and social impact s and
influence substantially the decisions of its Stakeholders.
By identifying and understanding the material sustainability issues, the Company formulates and develops its uniform business
strategy and its aims, targets and social and environmental initiatives.
Last but not least, the Company conducts regular internal audits to ensure the appropriate and effective implementation of th e
risk identification and assessment processes and of the management policies for such risks.
Additional information is included below, under Provision 29.
Provision 24 Audit committee composition
At the AGM of 15 June 2021, the shareholders decided that the Audit Committee shall be a committee of the Board of Directors,
which shall consist from three independent non-executive members whose term of office shall be the same as their term in the
Board of Directors.
The Committee members as a whole have sufficient knowledge in the sectors in which the Company operates and at least one
of its members has proven sufficient recent knowledge in auditing and accounting and is required to attend the meetings of the
Committee concerning the approval of financial statements.

recommendation of the Company’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
The Committee has a Secretary, which cooperates with the Corporate Secretary and is responsible for supporting the operation
of the Committee in general, including the keeping of the minutes and the proper implementation of the Committee meetings.

and independence, proposals to the Board on the appointment, reappointment and/or removal of the statutory auditor,
etc.).

the External Auditor, as well as his view of Management's estimates, and informs the Board.

provision of non-audit services to the Company in accordance with article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.
The Audit Committee takes into account the regular auditor's annual declaration of independence and discusses with him threat s
that may call into question his independence, as well as ways to ensure that these threats are addressed. The Audit Committee
examines whether the relationships, taking into account the views of the external auditor, the Management and the internal
auditor, as appropriate, appear to affect the auditor's independence and objectivity.
The Committee assesses the effectiveness of the audit process considering of mind-set and culture; skills, character and
knowledge; quality control; and judgment, including the robustness and perceptiveness of the auditors in handling key
judgements, responding to questions from the Committee, and in its commentary where appropriate on the systems of internal
control.
The Committee is responsible for approving non-audit services, that are not prohibited by law. The Committee ensures that the
provision of such services does not impair the External Auditor’s independence or objectivity by applying judgement, includin g
assessing:
i. threats to independence and objectivity resulting from the provision of such services and any safeguards in place to
eliminate or reduce these threats to a level where they would not compromise the auditor’s independence and
objectivity;
ii. the nature of the non-audit services;
iii. whether the skills and experience of the audit firm make it the most suitable supplier of the non-audit service;
iv. the fees incurred, or to be incurred, for non-audit services both for individual services and in aggregate, relative to the
audit fee, including special terms and conditions (for example contingent fee arrangements), and
v. the criteria which govern the compensation of the individuals performing the audit.

201
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1

December 2023
i. Governance Framework: Designed to ensure high-quality information and effective decision-making, clarity,
accountability, transparency, and efficiency.
ii. Strategic Framework: Includes the purpose, objectives, and values of the enterprise and serves as the basis for all
activities within the Risk Management Framework.
iii. Risk Management Framework: This framework supports each Business Unit in managing its risks and contributes to the
relevant reporting to the Board of Directors. The framework is supported by the fundamental principle that everyone in
the Company is responsible for risk management.
iv. Assurance Framework: An extensive program of controls and assurance activities independent of the day-to-day
operations of the Business Units and corporate functions. It consists of Internal Audit, Regulatory Compliance, Quality
Assurance, Health and Environment Systems.
v. Standards and Quality Framework: Defines the expected standards and guiding principles to be followed to achieve the
Company's purpose.
Within 2023, the Company's Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERM) was defined and approved by the Board of
Directors to ensure proper oversight of the Company's risk management function. The implementation of this project, for which
the Company enlisted the assistance of the external consulting firm McKinsey, was initiated by the Non-Executive Members,
with the Lead Independent Director, Mr. Ioannis Petridis, appointed as the head of the Steering Committee for the development
of the Enterprise Risk Management Framework.
The three key areas in risk management are a) determining risk appetite and risk strategy, b) establishing a risk culture, and c)
ensuring the effective operation of the three lines of defense. Risk management pertains to the second line of defense.
The approved risk management framework of the Company includes the following five stages:
a) Identification and categorization of risks, which involves detailed risk categorization and the development of risk appetite
levels for each of the 32 identified risk subcategories;
b) Risk assessment, which includes the assessment process according to industry standards and the establishment of clear
definitions of assessment criteria;
c) Risk hierarchy approach and risk treatment, involving the prioritization and detailed description of risks;
d) Risk monitoring and development of Key Risk Indicators as part of the evolution of ERM within the Company
e) Risk management and reporting for reporting and presentation purposes.
The Company's annual risk report complies with best practices and is conducted through a top-down assessment by the heads
of various dimensions for each risk subcategory. The dimensions evaluated are:
i. Potential impact (economic, HSE, and reputation);
ii. Likelihood of occurrence;
iii. System of Internal Control.
The results of the 2023 business risk assessment are summarized as follows:
i. the relatively high levels of risk acceptance for financial risks and market risks reflect the Company's vision and strategy,
as well as the areas where the Company emphasizes, while
ii. the lower levels of risk acceptance for legal and regulatory risks, compliance risk, operational risk, and strategic risk
reflect the almost zero risk the Company is willing to expose itself to in these categories of risks.

1.5. REMUNERATION
Principle P: Long-term focused remuneration
The Board Remuneration Policy was approved in its original form by the AGM’s resolution of the shareholders of Mytilineos dated
June 24, 2019 and has been amended by virtue of the AGM’s resolution of the shareholders dated June 15, 2021. The Policy was
prepared with the help of an external consultant, Korn Ferry, and is in accordance with the EU Shareholder Rights Directive, as
incorporated into Greek legislation by virtue of Law 4548/2018.
Following the expiration of the validity of the initial Remuneration Policy, which had a duration of 4 years, a new Policy wa s
approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on April 10, 2023, in accordance with the Company's Articles of
Association, which stipulates that the Company submits the Remuneration Policy for approval at the General Meeting every four
[4] years. The new Policy, which was also prepared in accordance with current EU and Greek law, is valid for four [4] years from
the date of its approval, unless it is revised and/or further amended earlier, pursuant to another decision of the General Meeting.
The Policy applies to the remuneration of all Company’s members of the Board of Directors. The Policy sets out details of bot h (i)
the current rights and obligations; and (ii) the terms under which future remuneration may be offered to current and / or new
Directors as long as the Policy is in Force.
The Policy considers European best practices for listed entities, whilst reflecting the current Executive Directors’ remunera tion
arrangements. In addition, it takes into consideration the provisions of the Company’s articles of association, the UK Corpor ate
Governance Code and the Company’s by-laws.
In short the board remuneration policy is as follows:
Executive Directors of the Board
Principles of Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy for the Executive Directors contributes to the Company’s business strategy and long-term interests and
sustainability by:
i. Providing a fair and appropriate level of fixed remuneration that does not result in over reliance on variable pay and
undue risk taking, thereby encouraging the Executive Director to focus on sustained long-term value creation.
ii. Differentiating the level of remuneration, both fixed and variable, according to the size of the role and the contribution
of Executive Members to the Company's results.
iii. Providing a balance of short and long-term incentives to ensure there is focus on short term objectives that will over time
build to create long-term value creation, as well as long-term goals.
iv. Ensuring the long-term performance and sustainability of the Company over time and aligning with the interests of
shareholders through rewarding Executive Board Members with shares. Encouraging behaviors that align with the
purpose, values, and philosophy of the Company.
v. Determining remuneration based on the principle of equal pay for work of equal value in alignment with the provisions
of Directive (EU) 2019/878.

informed about any relevant issues.
The complete remuneration policy document is available on the Company’s website at https://www.mytilineos.com/investor-
relations/general-meetings/?page=2 .
Principle Q: Transparent remuneration procedures
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee of the Company (the “Committee”) has worked with all relevant units of the
Company, as well as an independent remuneration consultant (Korn Ferry), to arrive at the Remuneration Policy, which has been
recommended to and approved by the Board of Directors by virtue of a resolution dated 8 March 2023.
The process for the approval of the Policy (and any amendments thereto) is determined by the Company’s articles of association
and Law 4548/2018.
The Committee submits the Policy for approval to the Board of Directors. No member of the Board of Directors shall be present
when their own remuneration is discussed. Once agreed by the Board of Directors, the Policy is submitted for approval at the
Company’s GM of Shareholders.
The Committee considers regularly whether the Policy continues to be aligned to the Company’s business strategy or whether
amendments should be recommended to the Board of Directors. Every four years (or earlier on a need for change) on the
recommendation of the Committee, the Board of Directors will seek the Shareholders’ approval of any new Policy.
Principle R: Exercising discretion
The aim of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure the Company is remunerating its Directors on the basis of the Company’s short
and long-term business plan, so as to continue creating value for customers, shareholders, employees and the Greek economy.
The level of fixed pay – salary and directors' emoluments – for both Executive and Non-Executive Directors is established on the
basis of paying fair and reasonable remuneration for the best and most appropriate person for the role, taking into account t he
level of responsibility, as well as the knowledge and experience required to deliver upon expectations, while ensuring that the
Company pays no more than is necessary, always supporting its longer-term interests and sustainability.
The Policy provides for variable compensation arrangements for Executive Directors to further align the Executive Directors’
interests with those of the Company as the performance conditions used will be based on indicators of the long-term success
and sustainability of the Company.
The Policy does not include any variable compensation for Non-Executive Directors to ensure that there is no conflict of interest
in the decision making of the Non-Executive Directors and their ability to challenge management’s risk-taking decisions.
Provision 32. Remuneration and Nomination Committee composition
As mentioned under Provision 17, the Company has a combined Remuneration and Nomination Committee which examines
and processes issues pertaining to: (a) the remuneration of Board members (the “directors”) and of senior and other executives;
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
206
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
and (b) the suitability of existing and candidate directors, within the scope of its remit under these Terms of Reference. Th e
Committee revisited its Terms of Reference, which were approved and put into effect by the Resolution of the Board of Directors
dated 26.07.2021, following relevant proposals submitted by the Committee.
The remuneration responsibilities of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee include the following:
i. to propose the Remuneration Policy to the Board, which shall then be submitted for approval at the General Meeting
of the Company’ s Shareholders, as well as the framework for the type and amount of remuneration of the directors
(particularly that of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the executive directors), and the type
and amount of remuneration of senior management who are members of the Executive Committee; and to formulate
proposals to the Board regarding the remuneration of the other Company executives, in particular of the head of the
Internal Audit Division;
ii. to determine the policy for and scope of pension arrangements for executive Directors;
iii. to review the appropriateness and relevance of the Remuneration Policy for Directors;
iv. to propose the annual Remuneration Report to the Board.
The Committee Chair informs the Board regarding the Committee’s work on all matters falling within its remit and the manner
in which it has fulfilled its duties; submitting a report in this regard in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code,
which the Company implements.
The Committee Chair has served on a remuneration committee for 15 months prior to his appointment. The Chairman of the
Board may be a Committee member only if they are an independent non-executive Director on appointment as Chairman of
the Board. In any case, the Chairman of the Board cannot chair the Committee.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee was constituted into a body, under its current composition, by the resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Company dated 02.06.2022 and is composed of three (3) Independent Non-Executive Members of
the Board of Directors.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee meets regularly and informs the Board following each meeting.

Company Secretary.
Further information on the remit, responsibilities and the modus operandi of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are
available in the Committee’s Terms of Reference, which have been released in the Company’ s website www.mytilineos.com at
the following address: https://www.mytilineos.com/who-we-are/governance/corporate-governance/committees#section4.
Provision 33. Role of the remuneration committee
The Committee has not delegated responsibility but submits the policy for executive director remuneration to the Board for
approval. However, the Committee recommends the Remuneration Policy to the Board for approval and the Board submits the
Remuneration Policy to the General Meeting of Shareholders for approval. Any matter submitted for approval by the General
Meeting of Shareholders shall be approved by the Board.
Fixed pay for the Chair, who is also the CEO currently, and for the executives of the Company is set by the Board of Directors
upon the recommendation of the Committee, taking into account levels of pay at other companies of a similar size for roles of
similar scope and responsibility.
The Remuneration Policy for the Executive Directors, as for all employees, is based on the principle of paying fair and reasonable
remuneration for the best and most appropriate person for the role while ensuring that the Company pays fairly and
competitively and in the longer-term interests and sustainability of the Company. The Company is considering the possibility of
establishing a remuneration and benefits policy for employees.
The Committee and Board of Directors receive periodic updates on the wider employee remuneration structure and practices
within the Company, which are considered when establishing and revisiting the Policy. This is to ensure that remuneration
practices and structure are as consistent as possible across the Company, while acknowledging that the structure of remuneration
for Executive Directors is necessarily different to that of less senior employees as a result of their role and ability to impact the
performance of the business.
In addition, the Committee and Board of Directors are provided with information on remuneration trends across the Company
including average pay increases along with any relevant economic data, such as the rate of inflation to take into account whe n
operating the Policy.
Provision 34. Non-executive director remuneration
The remuneration of the non-executive directors is determined by the Board on the recommendation of the Chairman and CEO
in accordance with the remuneration policy. The remuneration of non-executive directors is not comparable to the structure of
remuneration for the employees and executive directors of the Company.
The Non-Executive Directors are paid a basic board fee which is fixed and covers for the time required to perform their duties.
Supplemental fees may be paid to the Non-Executive Directors for additional responsibilities and activities, which exceed the
scope of the duties assigned including but not limited to, attending site visits, and meetings with management. According to the
current Remuneration Policy, it is clarified, on the one hand, that no variable remuneration based on performance, retirement
program, or other benefits are provided to the non-executive Chairman or Non-Executive Board Members. On the other hand,
Independent Non-Executive Board Members do not receive remuneration for any reason other than their participation in the
Board and/or its Committees.

Provision 35. Use of remuneration consultants
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee appointed Korn Ferry, an independent remuneration consultant, to work with
the committee in drafting the new policy. The consultant assisted the Committee in their engagement with the Management
Team and worked with all the relevant management units of the company. To arrive at the Policy the consultant discussed with
the Committee the requirements of Law 4548/2018, which transposed the SRDII, and the UK Corporate Governance Code. Korn
Ferry is not affiliated with members of the Board of Directors and provides remuneration consulting services to the General
Division of Human Resources.
Provision 36. Durations of retention
In the Long-Term Incentive Program, the fees are set at 30% in year 4, 30% in year 5 and 40% in year 6. The Company considers
that through these vesting periods and the gradual attribution of the shares, the purpose of Provision 36 of the UK Corporate
Governance Code is achieved. With the approval of the Board of Directors, the payment can be made in shares or in the
equivalent of value in cash with the obligation of the Executive member of the Board of Directors to buy shares of the Company,
at a rate of 30% of the total value granted, as well as to hold them for 2 years.
Provision 37. Discretion and recovery
Temporary derogations from the Policy may be allowed in exceptional circumstances, for example in circumstances of
recruitment or retention, where it is considered by the Board of Directors necessary to serve the long-term interests and
sustainability of the Company as a whole, or to assure its viability. Any derogation is required to be considered and approved by
the Board of Directors. The elements of the Policy from which a derogation is possible are those which determine short and lo ng-
term incentives.
Payments under both the short-term as well as the long-term incentive scheme will be subject to recovery for a period of at least
3 years from payment in the event of certain specified events including inaccurate financial statements of previous years or
otherwise erroneous financial data used to calculate such short-term incentive scheme payouts and misconduct.
Provision 38. Pension Contributions
Providing a competitive retirement program for all employees with the aim of attracting and retaining suitable talents. Durin g
2023, the Company worked on creating a Pension Fund, but the work was halted due to impending legislative changes regarding
the operation of Pension Funds in Greece. The Company decided that regardless of the final configuration of its pension program,
in which Executive Board Members would be eligible to participate with a maximum company contribution limit of up to 15% of
fixed compensation for Executive Board Members, it would pay employer contributions to beneficiaries retroactively from
September 2023.
Provision 39. Contract periods and bonuses on appointment and departure
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee ensures compensation commitments in directors' terms of appointment do not
reward poor performance.
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
209
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
In case of termination of contractual arrangements with Executive Directors at the initiative of the Company, notice periods and
termination payments shall be as provided by the current legal requirements in the Board Remuneration Policy.
Currently, according to law, notice periods are up to 4 months based on the years of employment while the maximum amount
for severance are up to 12 monthly salaries based on the years of employment. Executive Directors of the Board, in their capacity
as such, are not entitled to severance payments or other compensation by the Company, for loss of office or otherwise howsoever
arising.
Last, payments under both the short-term and long-term incentive schemes will be subject to recovery for a period of at least 3
years from payment in the event of certain specified events including inaccurate financial statements of previous years or
otherwise erroneous financial data used to calculate such short-term incentive scheme payouts and misconduct.
Provision 40. Design of remuneration policy
The remuneration policy for the Executive Directors, as for all employees, is based on the principle of paying fair and reasonable
remuneration for the best and most appropriate person for the role while ensuring that the Company pays fairly and
competitively and in the longer-term interests and sustainability of the Company.
Shareholder voting guidelines on Executive Directors’ remuneration and best practice were taken into consideration as part of
the process in formulating the Board Remuneration Policy.
The Committee and Board of Directors receive periodic updates on the wider employee remuneration structure and practices
within the Company, which are considered when establishing and revisiting the Policy. Also the General Manager of Human
Resources is invited to attend all or part of any meeting of the Committee to provide input on employment trends.
Provision 41. Reporting on the remuneration committee
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee held during 2023 five (5) meetings. All members of the Committee attended all
the meetings.
Remuneration Policy
The Committee discussed, with the assistance of an external consultant company (KornFerry) and the Human Resources
Division, the new 2023 Remuneration Policy in view of the expiration of the four-year duration of the previous Remuneration
Policy, which was approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company's shareholders on June 24, 2019, and
subsequently amended by the General Meeting of shareholders on June 15, 2021. The aim of the new Policy is, as with the
previous one, to support the Company's strategy and mission to create value for its shareholders, business partners, employees,
and the Greek economy. According to the existing legislation and the EU Directive on shareholders' rights, which was
incorporated into Greek law by Law 4548/2018, this Remuneration Policy contributes to the operational strategy, long-term
interests, and sustainability of the Company by providing fair and appropriate levels of fixed remuneration, balancing short-
term and long-term variable remuneration according to each member's role, and aligning members' remuneration with the
Company's long-term performance and sustainability, and those of its shareholders.
The Committee members unanimously approved the Policy, which was subsequently submitted for approval to the Board of
Directors and the General Meeting of the Company's Shareholders.

Study "Benchmarking Board Members' Remuneration 2023"
The Committee sought the assistance of an external consulting firm (KornFerry) both to review the Peer Group, taking into
account the dynamic evolution of the Company and its geographical footprint, and to conduct a study with comparative data
and information regarding the remuneration of members of the boards of directors of the Peer Group. The Reference
Companies were redefined, and the Committee submitted a relevant recommendation to the Board of Directors. Additionally,
the study was presented by the consulting firm to the Committee and, after discussion among the members, was submitted for
approval to the Board of Directors. The study was taken into consideration by the Committee during the discussion regarding
the determination of board remuneration for the year 2023.
Annual variable remuneration, performance criteria, and achievement of goals for 2022 for the Executive Members of the
Board of Directors
During 2023, with the assistance of an external consulting firm (KornFerry) and the Human Resources Division, the Committee:
a. Thoroughly discussed, examined, confirmed, and approved the achievement of the 2022 goals regarding the one-off share
plan for Executive Members, excluding the CEO.
b. Was briefed on and examined the progress of the implementation of the five-year Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for the
CEO, the Executive Members of the Board, and the Senior Management, based on the indicators set for 2021 and 2022. These
indicators included: a) the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) index, including dividend yield, compared to the FTSE/ATHEX Large
Cap Index, excluding banks, and individual performance indicators, and b) Earnings Per Share (EPS) as an absolute measure.
c. Examined the criteria and confirmed the achievement of the goals for the LTIP programs of 2021 and 2022, based on the
Company's financial data, and approved the beneficiaries of the program.
d. Reviewed and confirmed the achievement of corporate, non-financial, operational, and personal goals for the year 2022 (STIP
2022) for the Executive Members of the Board and determined the annual variable remuneration based on performance criteria
following a proposal from the Human Resources Division.
e. Reviewed the annual evaluation of the Chairman and CEO, led by the Chairman of the Committee in his capacity as Lead
Independent Director. Confidential feedback from all Non-Executive Members of the Board, including the First Vice-Chairman,
as well as Committee members, was taken into account for the evaluation. The assessment covered various areas of the CEO's
responsibilities, including Strategy, Organization, Board Effectiveness, Progress on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
matters, achievement of the 2022 financial goals, and stock performance.
For all the above, the Committee submitted a relevant recommendation to the Board of Directors.
Remuneration Report of the members of the Board of Directors for the year 2022
The Remuneration Report of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company for the year 2022 was drafted by the
Committee with the assistance of an external consulting firm (KornFerry) and the Human Resources Division, in accordance with
the applicable legislation and the EU Directive on shareholder rights, which was incorporated into Greek law by Law 4548/2018.
For the drafting of the 2022 Remuneration Report, consideration was given to the consultation of the European Commission of
March 1, 2019, regarding the guidelines for the standardized presentation of the Remuneration Report under Directive
2007/36/EC. External auditors (certified auditors) prepared a relevant report on the conduct of agreed procedures

The report describes how the 2019 Remuneration Policy, as amended in 2021, was implemented, taking into account the key
principles of remuneration, the design of remuneration, as well as the performance achieved at both the Company and executive
levels during the year 2022. The report also outlines how the opinions of significant institutional investors of the Company were
taken into consideration, as derived from the dialogue with shareholders that took place during 2022 (Corporate Governance
Roadshow).
The Committee ensured that the remuneration of the Executive Members of the BoD is aligned with MYTILINEOS' business
strategy and supports it. This alignment is achieved as the strategic business objectives serve as the basis for determining the
financial and strategic individual objectives of the Executive Members of the BoD.
The Report was submitted to the BoD for approval and to the General Meeting of June 1, 2023, for advisory voting and received
positive votes at a rate of 65.90%

Further information on this matter is included under Provision 4.
Approval of targets for the year 2023
The Committee thoroughly discussed and approved:
a. The LTIP (Long-Term Incentive Plan) targets for the year 2023. The criteria set for the long-term incentive program are: a)
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) index including dividend yield TSR relative to the FTSE/ATHEX Large Cap Index, excluding Banks,
weighted at 50%, b) Earnings per share >= €2.90 weighted at 50%, and c) Average individual performance appraisal for 2022,
2023, 2024 >= 85%.
b. The targets for the one-off share plan for the Executive Members of the BoD, excluding the CEO, and Senior Management for
the year 2023. The criteria set for the one-off share plan for 2023 are: a) EBITDA = €823 million for 2023 and b) Net income =
€466 million for 2023.
c. Performance criteria for annual variable remuneration for the year 2023 (STIP 2023) and the mechanism for calculating annual
variable remuneration (Mechanism for calculating STIP N-1) for the Executive Members of the BoD, the Senior Management (N-
1), and the management (N-2). Specifically, performance criteria for N-1 and N-2 are distinguished into three categories: i) BU
(EBITDA, Op. Cash Flow, Group ESG KPIs), ii) Individual targets (Operational/Financial KPIs, Human Capital Index), and iii)
Individual Performance Rating (scale 1-4).
Additionally, there are two more categories of criteria: a) Group gate/Group targets (EBITDA, Net Income, Op. Cash Flow) and
b) ESG KPIs (CO2 emissions/million € of Revenue, Lost time injury rate (LTIR), Total amount of monetary losses from legal
proceedings with charges of bribery, corruption, and anticompetitive practices), with equal weighting of 20%. Particularly
regarding the ESG criteria, which aim to sensitize the entire Company to ESG issues, it was emphasized that it is very important
to recognize and incorporate ESG criteria concerning proper environmental and social practices.
For the above matters, the Committee subsequently submitted a relevant recommendation to the Board of Directors.
Pension Program
During 2023, the Committee discussed the establishment of a pension program, specifically addressing the following key
parameters: a) pension vehicle, b) contributions, c) participation rights, d) conditions for receiving benefits, e) linkage to financial

impending legislative changes related to the operation of Professional Pension Funds in Greece.
Performance Management System for Senior Management N-1 (Performance Management)
The Committee extensively discussed the performance management system for Senior Management N-1 and Management N-2,
as well as other levels (N-3) (Performance Management), as proposed by the Human Resources Division. Specifically, the purpose
of the process, the evaluation stages per level, the approach chosen for project implementation, the timeline of actions, the skill
framework of the evaluated executives, as well as the rating scale of the evaluation were discussed.
The process of linking performance to variable compensation and the potential salary increase will be completed in April 2024.
The management system was unanimously approved by the Committee, which submitted a relevant recommendation to the
Board of Directors.
Determination of Annual Fixed Remuneration for the CEO for the Year 2023
The Committee discussed the fixed remuneration of the CEO for the year 2023. According to the Company's 2023 Board of
Directors Remuneration Policy, fixed remuneration is provided for Executive Members of the Board of Directors as part of thei r
total remuneration. The Committee members unanimously decided on the amount, as reflected in the 2023 Remuneration

Committee submitted a relevant recommendation to the Board of Directors.

2.3. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Company adopted and implements a Policy and Procedures on Conflicts of Interest, which has been approved by the Board
of Directors by its resolution dated 15.06.2021.
This Policy identifies the circumstances that constitute or may lead to a conflict of interest, while setting out the procedures to
be followed and the measures to be taken to mitigate, manage and resolve any such conflict in case they arise. This Policy
essentially provides directions to the Board of Directors, the Executive Management Team, the management and all employees
of the Company regarding the identification and management of conflicts of interest.
The Company strives to avoid conflicts of interest to ensure that it continues to operate in accordance with its purpose. In any
case, it takes all necessary measures to prevent conflicts of interest and, if such conflicts nevertheless arise, acts immedi ately for
their management and limitation, providing mitigation and resolution measures and applying the necessary controls, pursuant
to the provisions of the aforementioned Policy.
Each member of the Board of Directors, and any third party the Board has delegated the exercise of powers vested in it, has a
duty of loyalty to the Company and they are expected not to pursue interests of their own that run contrary to the interests of
the Company. Board members act with integrity and in the Company’s interests and safeguard the confidentiality of information
that is not publicly available. They must not have a relationship of competition with the Company and should avoid any position
or activity that creates or appears to create a conflict between their personal interests and those of the Company, including
holding positions on the board of directors or the management of competitor companies, without permission from the General
Meeting of the Company's shareholders. Board members must contribute their experience and devote to their duties the
necessary time and attention.
Prior to their appointment, they should notify the Board of Directors of their other professional commitments, including
significant non-executive commitments, to companies and non-profit institutions, and should report to the Board any changes in
such commitments, as soon as these arise. Furthermore, they should timely and adequately disclose to the Company’s
Compliance Division and the other members of the Board of Directors their own interests which may arise from any company
transactions and/or activities of the Company falling within their scope of duties, as well as any other conflict of interest they
may have with those of the Company or an affiliated company. The members of the Board of Directors and of the Executive
Management Team of the Company ar e required to submit to the Compliance Division of the Company a “Conflict of Interest
Declaration”, as detailed in the aforementioned Policy and in the form attached thereto, at the time of onboarding into the
Company, as well as on an annual basis and should also update it in the course of the year, if required. No member of the
Company’s Board of Directors is allowed to vote on issues for which a conflict of interest exists between him/her (or one of

the relevant resolutions of the General Meetings of the shareholders regarding the delegation of authorities within the Board of
4. Statement of Corporate Governance

Directors, collective action by the Board is required for a number of matters, such as for providing a corporate guarantee in favour of
any third party, including companies associated with the Company. Also taking into consideration the Company’s extensive activities
in Greece and abroad the Board of Directors often must act collectively, in the sense that there is a requirement for a relevant
resolution which must be reflected in the minutes of the respective Board’s meeting.
However, it should be noted that no administrative or other costs incur for the Company as a result of these resolutions. The relevant
minutes of the Board’s resolutions are drafted and are signed by circulation by all members of the Board, without a prior meeting of
the Board taking place, pursuant to art. 94 of L. 4548/2018. More specifically, out of the total number of 68 minutes of the Board's
meetings during 2023, 62 of them were drafted and were signed by all members of the Board without a prior meeting of the Board
taking place.
2.5. MEETINGS OF NON-EXECUTIVE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
During 2023, the Non-Executive Members of the Board held eight (8) meetings without the presence of the Executive Members of
the Board, to discuss, among other, the following issues:
Assessment of Adequacy and Effectiveness of the Company's Internal Control System
The Non-Executive Members of the Board of Directors were briefed by the Chairman of the Audit Committee regarding the
results of the assessment of the Adequacy and Effectiveness of the Internal Control System (ICS) conducted by Grant Thornton.
It was reported that no significant weaknesses were identified in the Company's Internal Control System and its significant
subsidiary. Furthermore, a summary report of the assessment was presented, consisting of:
i. Methodology of ICS Assessment
ii. Objects of ICS assessment (control environment, risk management, control mechanisms and security measures,
information and communication system, ICS monitoring)
iii. Analysis of assessment findings (which do not constitute significant weaknesses of the ICS).
Among other points, the Non-Executive Members highlighted the significant importance of this assessment for improving the
Company's operations by enhancing its ICS.
Risk Management Framework
The Non-Executive Members extensively discussed the improvement actions necessary for the Board of Directors to exercise
appropriate oversight of the Company's risk management operations, following the proposal of the Chairman and CEO of the
Company. They deliberated on risk management issues and focused on the importance of documenting risks (risk map) in a
manner that summarizes at an executive level the main risks of the Company, the corresponding key risk indicators (KRIs), the
nature and extent of each of the principal risks the Company is willing to take (risk appetite for each principal risk), along with
corresponding mitigating actions. The ultimate goal is to define the basic principles of oversight and establish the framework
for managing all risks, including financial and non-financial risks, as well as to develop a monitoring and oversight process by
the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. The Non-Executive Members of the Board of Directors also discussed issues
related to risk management operations and the role of internal audit in this regard, and proposed the necessary actions to the
Board of Directors.

vi. certification and award of the Division for the quality of its services (first time in Greece).
The Non-Executive Members particularly emphasized the importance of documenting and understanding the overall scope of
control and its coverage, the significance of conducting both detective and preventive controls, and the need for further
enhancement of communication between the Internal Audit Division and Management.
Determination of Annual Fixed Remuneration for the CEO for the Year 2023
The Non-Executive Members discussed the recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee regarding the
fixed remuneration of the CEO for the year 2023. According to the Company's 2023 Board of Directors Remuneration Policy,
fixed remuneration is provided for Executive Members of the Board as part of their total remuneration. The Non-Executive

Compliance Issues

Internal Reporting Channel Policy (Whistleblowing) developed in accordance with Law 4990/2022 and its scope of application, th e
identification and analysis of the main points of the investigation flow of complaints, the whistleblowing platform, the responsible
recipients and monitors of reports, and the authorities responsible for investigating complaints, as well as the training and informing
of employees involved.
2.6. POLICY FOR THE SUITABILITY ASSESSMENT OF THE BOARD MEMBERS
The Company has adopted and implements a Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors
(Suitability Policy), which has been approved by decision of the General Meeting of 15.06.2021, following the approval of the
Board of Directors by its resolution dated 12.05.2021, and constitutes the set of principles and criteria that apply when selecting,
replacing, and re-appointing Board members, in terms of assessing their suitability on an individual and collective level. This
Policy aims to ensure the quality of recruitment to the Board, its effective functioning and fulfilment of its role, based on the
Company’s general strategy and medium and long -term business goals for promoting its corporate interest.
The Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of directors is posted on the Company’s website at the
following address: https://www.mytilineos.com/media/xtjc3lwx/suitability_policy_en_26072021.pdf.
The general principles governing the aforementioned Policy include the following:
i. The Company’s Board of Directors should consist of persons of moral standing and good repute, and it should have an
adequate number of members and an appropriate composition, which should reflect the knowledge, skills and experience
necessary to fulfil its responsibilities, according to the Company’s business model and strategy. The Board members should
also commit sufficient time to carry out their duties.
ii. The Company promotes and ensures diversity and adequate representation of gender in its Board, in accordance with the
Diversity Policy and, in general, ensures equal treatment and equal opportunities, as well as that its Board Members wield a
broad spectrum of qualifications and competencies.
iii. Through the induction training program of the Board members, the Company ensures, inter alia, that each member perceives
and understands clearly the Company’s corporate governance arrangements, their respective role and responsibilities, as
well as the Company’s values, its general strategy and structure.
iv. A suitability assessment on an individual and collective level shall be conducted when selecting, re-appointing or replacing a
Member.
The suitability of the Board members is assessed both on an individual and a collective level.
Individual suitability means that a person is considered to have - as a Board member - sufficient knowledge, skills, experience,
independence of mind, good repute and moral standing for the performance of their duties as a member of the Company’ s
Board, for which performance of duties he/she shall also commit sufficient time, pursuant to the said Policy, which establishes
specific criteria for the assessment of all above factors.
Collective suitability means that the Board collectively should be suitable for carrying out its responsibilities and should be
composed in such manner as to contribute to the effective management of the Company and to balanced decision-making.
Board members should collectively be able:
4. Statement of Corporate Governance
228
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
i. to take appropriate decisions considering the business model, risk appetite, strategy and the markets in which the
Company operates;
ii. to evaluate corporate performance properly;
iii. to support the Company’s Management and provide directions and guidance where and when required; as well as
iv. to monitor and challenge the implementation of the Board’s decisions by the Company’s Management.
The Suitability Policy sets out clear criteria for assessing the collective suitability of the Board as well. For instance, the
composition of the Board should reflect the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to fulfil its responsibilities and the Board
members should collectively have the skills necessary to present their views. In general, all the sectors in which the Compan y
operates, as well as any other related subject (indicatively, finance and capital markets) should be covered by the Board
collectively, with sufficient expertise among its members.
The Company bears the primary responsibility for identifying shortcomings in both the individual and the collective suitability
of Board members and to this end the Board conducts a self-assessment annually. This suitability assessment is part of the
annual assessment of the Company’s Board, which is conducted by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The findings
of this assessment are processed and presented to the Board by its Chair, acting in collaboration with the Lead Independent
Director.
In the context of the Board’s assessment, the Board may, at its discretion and upon recommendation of the Remuneration and
Nomination Committee, decide to have its assessment conducted also by third party consultants, either on a regular or ad hoc
basis.
Apart from the aforementioned regular assessment of the Board members’ suitability, their individual or collective suitabilit y
shall also be assessed in exceptional circumstances, especially in the cases mentioned in the Suitability Policy.
In the event that any Board member no longer meets one or more of the suitability criteria, as described in the said Policy, and
that this affects the Board’s individual or collective suitability, the possibility shall be examined of taking corrective me as ures to
address the weakness identified.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee shall keep a record of the results of the suitability assessment, particularly any
weaknesses/shortcomings between the expected and the actual individual and collective suitability, also of any measures taken
to address those deficiencies.
In case that one or more of the suitability criteria ceased to exist in the person of a member of the Board for reasons that this
member could not prevent, even with extreme diligence, the Board shall arrange for their dismissal and replacement within
three (3) months.
2.7. INDUCTION PROGRAMME FOR NEW BOARD MEMBERS The Company has adopted and applies a Training Policy for the
members of its Board of Directors, according to which the Company’s Lead Independent Director, assisted by the Corporate
Secretary, shall ensure:
i. on the one hand, that upon taking up their duties all Board members are provided with a full induction programme,
tailored to their capacity (executive, non-executive, or independent non-executive member) and the tasks assigned to
them; and

ii. on the other hand, that all Board members update their skills and knowledge on an ongoing basis, in order to effectively
fulfil their duties as members of the Board and its committees, subject to continuous training by the Company for this
purpose, in accordance with the detailed provisions of the Training Policy.
No later than one month following their appointment, new Board members attend an induction programme, whose purpose is
to provide them with information that will be useful in the effective performance of their duties. In particular with regard to
Board members who are members of Board Committees, the induction also includes information on the scope of these

the Board of Directors for share capital increase, pursuant to para. 1 of art. 24 of Law 4548/2018, as well as in all other cases in
which the law specifies that the General Meeting shall adopt resolutions under a qualified quorum and majority.
Until the General Meeting Chairman is elected, the General Meeting is provisionally chaired by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors or, if the Chairman is unable to attend, by his Deputy, as may be appointed by the Board of Directors in a special
resolution to this effect. The Chairman shall also appoint a provisional secretary. After the list of the shareholders with a right to
vote is approved, the meeting continues with the election of its Chair and a secretary who also acts as a vote teller. Resolutions
on these matters are passed by absolute majority of the votes represented at the General Meeting.
The discussions and decisions of the General Meeting are restricted to the items on the agenda. The agenda is prepared by the
Board of Directors and includes the proposals of the Board to the General Meeting and possible proposals made by the auditors
or shareholders representing one twentieth (1/20) of the paid-up share capital. For the items discussed for which decisions are
taken, minutes are kept, signed by the Chair and the Secretary. The list of the shareholders present or represented in the General
Meeting is recorded at the beginning of the minutes.
4.2. RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND HOW TO EXERCISE THEM
Shareholders exercise their rights related to the Company’s administration only by participating in the General Meeting. Each
share entitles the holder to one vote at the General Meeting.
Entitled to participate at the General Meeting is each person that has a shareholder status pursuant to the Dematerialized
Securities Register of the Company, which is kept electronically with the company “Greek Central Securities Depository SA”
(ATHEXCSD), as at the start of the fifth (5
th
) day prior to the day of the original General Meeting session (record date). The
aforementioned record date is also applicable in the case of an adjourned or reiterative session, provided that such adjourne d
or reiterative session is not more than thirty (30) days from the record date pursuant to article 124 par. 6 of law 4548/2018. If
this is not the case, or if in the case of a reiterative General Meeting a new notice is published, persons having shareholde r
status as at the start of the third day prior to the day of the adjourned or reiterative General Meeting session may participate
at the General Meeting.
4. Statement of Corporate Governance

December 2023
Shareholder status may be evidenced by any means and, in any case, based on the information received by the Company directly
through electronic connection with the registers of ATHEXCSD. Those entitled to participate and vote at the General Meeting
are only the individuals who qualify as shareholders on the said record date. In case of non-compliance with the provisions of
article 124 of law 4548/2018, the shareholders may participate at the General Meeting only after permission by the General
Meeting.
The exercise of the said rights does not require the blocking of the beneficiary’s shares nor the adherence to any other similar
procedure, which limits the possibility of selling and transferring them during the period between the record date and the date
of the relevant General Meeting session.
1. Shareholders who are entitled to participate at the General Meeting may participate and cast their vote either in person o r
by proxy. Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies. Legal entities participate at the General Meeting by appointing
up to three (3) natural persons as their representatives. However, when a shareholder owns shares in the Company, which
appear in more than one securities account, this limitation does not preclude the shareholder from appointing different proxies
for the shares shown in each securities account in respect of a specific General Meeting session. A shareholder may appoint a
proxy for one or more General Meeting sessions and for a specified time period. The proxy casts vote according to the
instructions of the shareholder, if any. Non-compliance of the proxy with the received instructions does not affect the validity
of the General Meeting’s resolutions, even if such proxy’s vote was decisive for achieving the majority.
2. The appointment as well as the revocation or replacement of the shareholder’s representative or proxy shall be made in
writing and shall be submitted to the Company’s headquarters at least forty eight (48) hours prior to the date appointed for the
General Meeting. The proxy is obliged to notify the Company, prior to the commencement of the General Meeting, of any
specific fact, which might be useful to shareholders, in order for them to assess a possible risk that the proxy might serve
interests other than the shareholder’s interests. Conflict of interest may arise in particular in cases where the proxy: a) is a
controlling shareholder of the Company or is a legal person or entity controlled by such shareholder; b) is a member of the
Board of Directors or of the management of the Company in general or of a controlling shareholder, or of another legal person
or entity controlled by such shareholder; c) is an employee or an auditor of the Company or of a controlling shareholder, or of
another legal person or entity controlled by a controlling shareholder; d) is a spouse or a first degree relative of a natural person
referred to in cases a) to c) above.
4.3. OTHER RIGHTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS
The shareholders also have the rights granted to them by law, such as the rights provided for in article 141 paragraphs 2, 3, 6,
7 and 8 of Law 4548/2018, which inter alia include the following:
i) Article 141 paragraph 2 of law 4548/2018: At the request of shareholders representing 1/20 of the paid-up share capital, the
Board of Directors is obliged to include additional items in the agenda of the General Meeting, provided that the relevant

must be published or disclosed under the responsibility of the Board of Directors in accordance with article 122 of Law
4548/2018 at least seven (7) days prior to the general meeting. The request to include additional items in the agenda must be
accompanied by a justification or by a draft decision to be adopted by the General Meeting. The revised agenda must be
published in the same manner as the previous agenda, thirteen (13) days before the date of the General Meeting session and
at the same time must be also made available to shareholders on the Company’s website, along with the justification or the

draft decision submitted by the shareholders, in accordance with article 123 paragraph 4 of Law 4548/2018. If these additiona l
items are not published, the requesting shareholders are entitled to request the adjournment of the General Meeting in
accordance with article 141 paragraph 5 of Law 4548/2018 and to make the publication themselves, in accordance with the
second sentence of this paragraph (and article 141 paragraph 2 of law 4548/2018) at Company's expense.
ii) Article 141 paragraph 3 of Law 4548/2018: Shareholders representing 1/20 of the paid-up share capital, have the right to
submit draft decisions which have been included in the initial or revised agenda of the General Meeting. Such request must be
furnished to the Board of Directors at least seven (7) days before the date of the General Meeting session, and said draft
decisions are made available to the shareholders according to the provisions of article 123 paragraph 3 of Law 4548/2018 at
least six (6) days before the General Meeting session.
iii) Article 141 paragraph 6 of Law 4548/2018: Following a request submitted to the Company by any shareholder at least five
(5) full days prior to the General Meeting session, the Board of Directors is obliged to provide to the General Meeting the
requested specific information on the Company’s affairs, to the extent that this may be useful for the assessment of the items
on the agenda. The Board of Directors may provide a single response to shareholders’ requests with the same content. The
obligation to provide information does not apply in the event that the information requested is already available on the
Company's website, especially in the form of questions and answers. At the request of shareholders representing 1/20 of the
paid-up share capital, the Board of Directors is obliged to announce to the ordinary General Meeting the amounts that have
been paid during the last two years to each member of the Board of Directors or to the Company’s managers, as well as any
benefits that were granted to them for any reason or on the basis of their contract with the Company. In all the above cases,
the Board of Directors may refuse to provide such information for substantive ground, as recorded in the minutes. Such a reason
may be, in the circumstances, the representation of the requesting shareholders to the board, in accordance with articles 79 or
80 of Law 4548/2018. In the cases of this paragraph, the Board of Directors may respond in a single application to shareholders
with the same content.
iv) Article 141 paragraph 7 of Law 4548/2018: At the request of shareholders representing at least one tenth (1/10) of the pa id-

Board of Directors is obliged to provide to the General Meeting information on the course of the corporate affairs and assets of
the Company. The Board of Directors may refuse to provide such information for substantive ground, as recorded in the
minutes. Such a reason might be, as the case may be, the representation of the applicant shareholders on the Board, in
accordance with articles 79 or 80 of Law 4548/2018, provided that the respective members of the board of directors have
received relevant information sufficiently.
v) Article 141 paragraph 8 of Law 4548/2018: In the cases referred to in article 141 paragraphs 6 and 7 of Law 4548/2018, any
question as to the merits or not of the grounds of refusal on the part of the Board of Directors to provide the requested
information, shall be resolved by court’s decision, issued in interim injunction proceedings. By the same decision, the court
obliges the Company to provide the information denied. The decision is not subject to any legal remedies.
In all above cases, the requesting shareholders must prove their shareholder status, as well as the number of shares they own,
during the exercise of their right, except for in case of the first subparagraph of paragraph 6 of article 141 of Law 4548/2018.
The shareholder status is certified though online connection of the Company with ATHEXCSD.

December 2023
The Company has an internal control, quality assurance and risk management system regarding financial information and has
designed appropriate safeguards to monitor the implementation of the system's procedures. The procedures designed and
implemented by the Management and staff to ensure the reliability of financial reporting, the effectiveness and efficiency of
operations and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are further reviewed by the Company's statutory auditors and
any findings that, in accordance with their professional judgement, are of importance are communicated to the Audit
Committee of the Company, which then informs the Board of Directors accordingly.
The Board of Directors reviews on an ongoing and continuous basis the corporate strategy and the main business risks,
particularly in a constantly changing economic and business environment. In addition, it regularly receives progress reports on
the audits carried out by the Audit Committee based on the annual programme of planned audits by the Company's Internal
Audit Division. The above enables the Board to form a comprehensive view on the effectiveness of the Company's systems,
procedures and regulations.
The reliability of the Company's Financial Statements is ensured by the application of Internal Control and Risk Management
Processes. The Company has put in place separate procedures for the monthly, interim and annual Financial Reports.
More specifically, every month the Management Information Systems Division of the Company receives from the Finance
Business Partners financial data and information, which it proceeds to check and then use to prepare reports for submission t o
the Management of the Group. This information is produced in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards.
Every month, the Management of the Group is updated on the changes to the consolidated key financial indicators by means
of relevant management reports. This monthly monitoring approach, coupled with the checking of the consolidated financial
statements and the analyses performed on the latter are the key tools used in the quality and consistency control of the financial
results.
With regard to the Interim and Annual consolidated Financial Statements, the Company employs an advanced software tool to
consolidate the financial results and statements, as well as to generate reports for the Management as well as for investors and
other interested parties. This software tool is automatically updated with data from the Group’s accounting monitoring program
and includes controls to ensure accurate transfer and accounting recognition of the input data. The Management Information
Systems Division ensures the smooth operation of the software tool and checks the integrity and correctness of the consolidated
Financial Statements and other reports, providing the Chief Finance Officer, the External Auditors and the Management of the
Company with all necessary information.
The External Auditors examine the consolidated Interim and Annual Financial Reports and report to the Audit Committee on
the progress and results of their audits for each reporting period. The Audit Committee is informed of the procedure and
schedule for the preparation of the Financial Statements by the Group Chief Finance Officer and holds meetings with the
Management / the responsible executives during the preparation of the financial reports. It obtains from the Chief Finance
Officer the necessary information on the Group’s performance and consolidated Financial Statements and reports to the Board
of Directors accordingly. During these meetings, the Audit Committee is also informed about the management of financial risks
and assesses the effectiveness of the risk management system. The Financial Statements (Individual and Consolidated) are
approved by the Board of Directors, following a relevant report from the Audit Committee.

Diversity policy implemented by the Company regarding the composition of both the Board of Directors and its senior
Managers.
The Company recognizes the importance of promoting the Principle of Diversity in the composition of both its governing bodies
and its executive and administrative staff.
The management and capitalization of the Diversity Authority constitutes a significant business organizational challenge for the
Company, which, as a modern company following the completion of its transformation and in the context of its responsible
operation, in the coming years it is called to face. In this respect, the Company, fulfilling its commitment, in 2017 laid the
foundations, creating a specific Diversity policy with a vision and goals.
Purpose:
MYTILINEOS S.A. (the “Company”), committed to implementing the best Corporate Governance practices and complying with
the provisions of article 2 of Law 4403/2016, aims at applying Diversity (among other basic parameters, based on gender, age,
experience, skills and knowledge) in the composition of its Board of Directors, of its executive management team and of all
employees directly engaged in all its activities, wherever this is feasible. To this end, the Company hereby adopts this Diversity
Policy (“Policy”).
Vision:
The Company acknowledges that in an era in which flexibility and creativity are the keys to competitiveness, promoting diversity
in its administrative, management and supervisory bodies is particularly significant for engendering its further business gro wth.
The Company also acknowledges that diversity at the workplace in the broader sense may boost the potential for accessing a
greater range of solutions to issues of business strategy, increasing its competitive advantage.
Principles:
The process of seeking and selecting candidates for Board membership or for other senior executive positions should employ
merit-based and objective criteria, considering the benefits from the application of the principle of diversity, which include
representation of both genders, in the said procedure.
The overriding prerequisite for appointing a Board member or other senior executive primarily is that the candidate possess the
requisite qualifications and fulfils other criteria specified by the Company. Nevertheless, the process should ensure that wo men
and men will have equal opportunities for candidature.
If the Company, through its competent bodies such as the Remuneration and Nomination Committee or the Human Resources
Central Support Function, were to employ the services of third parties, such as independent consultants, to seek candidates for
Board membership or for senior executive positions, explicit mention should be made that both women and men are to be
proposed.
In their annual evaluation of the Board of Directors and of its Committees, the members of the Board and of the Committees
should take into consideration the balance of all diversity parameters applicable to the Board, as these are mentioned in the
present Policy.

Despite the fact that most of its activities are in the heavy industries sector, the Company aims to facilitate the broader possible
participation of women and young people in its workforce, where feasible, always in accordance with the requirements and
opportunities in each one of its Business Units.
Managing and capitalising on diversity represents a major organisational business challenge for the Company. It is believed
essential to invest in the development of managerial skills, so that senior executives can manage a potentially multicultural work
environment correctly.
Scope of application:
The Policy is applied in selecting members of the Company’s Board of Directors and is taken into account in seeking and selec ting
senior executives as well as personnel at all other levels of the Company’s hierarchy.
Policy disclosure:
The Policy is posted on the Company's website (www.mytilineos.com ).
In the “Corporate Governance Statement” section of its Annual Report, the Company reports its performance against the targets
set, together with the percentages – by gender and age – of the members of the Board, of the executive management team and
the potential of its senior management executives, its personnel, as well as its administrative staff.

The Company follows the rules on transparency, independent financial management and the accuracy and correctness of its
transactions, as stipulated by the law.
The Company, with a view to ensuring the correct, secure, transparent and effective conclusion of transactions with related
parties (“RP”) and to assuring the appropriate supervision and control of these transactions, has established and implements the
“Process of Compliance with the Obligations arising from the framework for Related Party Transactions”, which was approved by
a Board resolution dated 22/09/2022.
The purpose of the Process is to specify the rules to be observed for the valid approval, conclusion and execution of a transaction
with an RP, so as to ensure:
i. the balancing of the benefits resulting from the transaction for all the parties involved in it;
ii. the protection of the various interests which may be affected by that transaction; and
iii. the Company's compliance with the applicable legal framework regarding RP transactions.
The Process regulates the Company's transactions with RPs, as such persons are defined in the relevant IFRS, specifies the relevant
Divisions responsible for its implementation and regulates the procedure to be followed in relation to the granting of the required
authorisation and the disclosure to be maintained for related party transactions. Specifically, it is provided that for the Company
to validly enter into a transaction with an S.M., a special authorization is required, which is granted by a final decision of the
competent corporate body, and after the transaction evaluation report referred to below has been submitted and taken into
account.
In particular, it is explicitily provided that for the valid conclusion of by the Company of a transaction with an RP, a special
authorization is required, granted by final resolution of the competent corporate body, adopted after the assessment report o f
the transaction, has been submitted and taken into account. The conclusion of an RP transaction without the granting of such a
special authorization is prohibited and is completely void, while criminal sanctions are also provided for in case of violation of the
relevant provisions of Law 4548/2018, in accordance with article 179 thereof. As a rule, the authorization to conclude a transaction
of the Company with a party related to it is granted by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company. If the BoD resolves
to grant an authorization for the conclusion of a transaction with an RP, it is obliged to publish, immediately after the granting of
that authorization, a relevant announcement. Exceptionally, the competence to resolve to grant an authorization for the
conclusion of an RP transaction may rest with the General Meeting of the Company’s Shareholders. As a prerequisite to assure
the validity of the resolution of the BoD of the Company or of the GM of the Company’s Shareholders to grant an authorization
for the conclusion an RP transaction, such resolution is adopted on the basis of a report submitted by an (independent) certified
auditor accountant or an (independent) audit firm or other independent third party not related to the Company, which assesses
whether the transaction in question is fair and reasonable for the Company and for the shareholders who are not RPs, includin g
minority shareholders, and explains the assumptions on which it is based and the methods used in its compilation (assessment
report). The Company shall also ensure the observance of the disclosure requirements of Law 4548/2018.
Finally, the Process provides for the steps to be followed for transactions with related parties and the competent General
Divisions/Divisions, the role of the Audit Committee in this regard and the exceptions, i.e. transactions for which neither special
authorisation is required nor the observance of publicity formalities.

Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1

January to the 31
st
December 2023
External (Statutory) Auditors
Appointment of the external auditors
The Committee has primary responsibility for the appointment of the key audit partner (external auditor). This includes
negotiating the fee and scope of the audit, initiating a tender process, expressing an opinion regarding the appointment of a n
engagement partner and making formal recommendations to the Board on the appointment, reappointment and removal of the
external auditors.
In April 2022, the Committee, after assessing the work of Grant Thornton, which is the Company's external auditor, and taking
into account, inter alia, the opinion of the Finance Division, decided to propose to the Board of Directors the reappointment of
the audit firm Grant Thornton as external auditor for the fiscal year 2022.
In parallel, the Committee conducted a tender for the selection of a new external auditor, in the context of the implementation
of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 and the relevant transitional
provisions of article 52 of Law 4449/2017 regarding the specific requirements for the statutory audit of public-interest entities.
In November 2023, the tender for the nomination of new candidates for the audit of the company’s individual and consolidated
financial statements for the financial year 01.01.2024-31.12.2024 was completed. In particular, the Committee, after holding
individual meetings with each of the candidate auditing companies and, taking into consideration the evaluation of their offers,
from a technical and financial point of view, submitted its recommendation to the BoD.
Safeguarding independence and objectivity, and maintaining effectiveness
In its relationship with the external auditors, the Committee needs to ensure that they retain their independence and objectivity
and are effective in performing the statutory audit. Both the Board and the external auditor have policies and procedures
designed to protect the independence and objectivity of the external auditor.
The Committee considers the external auditors’ annual declaration of independence and discusses with them threats, that may
threaten their independence, as well as ways to ensure that these threats are addressed. The Committee examined whether the
relationships, considering the views of the external auditor, of the Management and of the internal audit, as appropriate, appear
to affect the auditor's independence and objectivity.
In 2023, the external auditors submitted to the Committee the declaration of their independence from the Company in
accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants
(IESBA Code) and the ethical requirements related to the audit of the financial statements in Greece.

The Committee has devoted a significant amount of time during its meetings in order to be informed and to discuss the process

Matter
Activity

5. Report on the activities of the Audit Committee

st
December 2023
subsidiaries for the financial year 31.12.2023, the audit teams and specialists, as well as a
reference to the key audit matters during the audit planning and in particular to the identified
risks of the financial statements.
Audit of Annual Financial
Statements –
Key Audit Matters
The Committee monitored the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the
financial year ended 31.12.2023 by the external auditors.
The external auditors commented, inter alia, on the determination of materiality and discussed
with the Committee on the methodology and parameters for its determination. More
specifically, the external auditors informed the Committee that for the calculation of materiality,
the Earnings Before Tax has been defined as an appropriate benchmark, given that the Company
is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange
In the discussions with the external auditors, particular emphasis was placed on the “Key Audit
Matters” as identified by the external auditors, and how they these were treated during the
audit.
Revenue Recognion: this was considered as a key audit maer, given the complexity
of the volume of transacons, the use of IT systems as well as management’s
judgements and esmates, which include a degree of uncertainty.
Assessment of whether non-current assets may be impaired: this was as a key audit
maer, given the signicant amounts of these assets and the use of management’s
assumpons and esmates for the determinaon of the relave recoverable amounts.
Provisions and conngent liabilies: The determinaon of provisions or disclosures of
conngent liabilies and conngent assets which relate to ligaon claims and
arbitraon procedures has been considered as a key audit maer as it includes
signicant management judgments based on legal advisors’ esmaons.
The Committee examined and discussed in detail the above issues with the external auditors,
without the presence of executives of the Company's Finance Division.
Report of the Audit

itself and those of its Greek subsidiaries that have been subject to the tax audit for the
year 2022
the Tax Compliance Reports issued in the context of the above tax audit and the
evoluon of tax audits by the authories.
Review of Interim Financial

The external auditors informed, through a relevant report/ presentation, the Committee on
their review of the Interim Financial Statements for the first half of 2023 carried out in
accordance with ISA . The auditors referred, inter alia, to the scope and areas, as well as their
procedures for the review of the Group, the determination of materiality, unrecorded
misstatements and the key issues of their review.
Additional Report to the
Audit Committee for 2023
The External Auditors submitted and presented to the Committee their additional report, as
provided by article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014 on their audit of the Company and Group
Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Report of the Audit
Committee to the Board of
Directors on the Financial
Statements 2022
The Committee, following the review of the Financial Statements of the parent company and
the Group for the year ended 31
st
December 2022 and the discussions held with the Finance
Division and the external auditors, proposed their approval to the Board.
Additional Report to the
Audit Committee for 2022
The External Auditors submitted and presented to the Committee their additional report, as
provided by article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014 on their audit of the Company and Group
Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Use of the external auditors for non-audit services
The Committee monitors the external auditors’ compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 537/ 2014, as in force,
regarding the level of the total fees paid by the Company to them in proportion to the overall fee income of the external auditors
or their overall fee income from audit services, as well as other related regulatory requirements, so that the external auditors’
independence and objectivity is not impaired by the amount of work provided to the Company
The Committee is responsible for approving non-audit services to the Group entities that are not prohibited by law. The
Committee considers that the external auditors have significant knowledge of the Group’s business and of how accounting
policies are applied. That means it is sometimes cost-efficient for them to provide non-audit services. There may also be
confidentiality reasons that make the external auditors the preferred choice for a particular non audit assignment..
However, safeguarding the external auditors’ objectivity and independence is an overriding priority. For this reason, the
Committee ensures that the provision of such services does not impair the external auditors’ independence or objectivity.
In the context of non-audit services, whose provision by the Statutory Auditor is not prohibited by law, the Committee should
apply judgement on and assess the following:
i. threats to independence and objecvity resulng from the provision of such services and any safeguards in place to
eliminate or reduce these threats to a level where they would not compromise the auditors’ independence and
objecvity,
ii. the nature of the non-audit services,
5. Report on the activities of the Audit Committee
263
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
iii. whether the skills and experience of the audit rm make it the most suitable supplier of the non-audit services,
iv. the fees incurred, or to be incurred, for non-audit services both for individual services and in aggregate, relave to the
audit fee, including special terms and condions (for example conngent fee arrangements), and
v. the criteria which govern the compensaon of the individuals performing the audit.
During 2023, the Committee examined the non-audit services that were proposed to be performed by the external auditor for
the Company or subsidiaries of the Group, where the Committee, after evaluating the nature of proposed services and receiving
relevant clarifications, declarations and assurance from the external auditor, considered that they did not pose a threat to the
external auditor's independence in accordance with the provisions of article 44 of Law 4449/2017 and article 5 of Regulation (EU)
537/2014. The relevant non-audit services concerned pre-agreed procedures (a) in relation to the preparation of the financial
statements (including the Explanatory Notes), which would concern fund agreements, calculations, drafts, data collection,
analysis and related processing thereof, with the note that these analysis would be based on an approved trial balance by each
Management function, as well as that the adjustment entries would be subject to the approval of the each Management functio n
of the subsidiaries, (b) in the context of supporting the respective Management function for the technical implementation of the
conversion processes to IFRS, c) on the calculation of financial indicators of the Company and its subsidiaries in the context of
their compliance with the requirements of loan agreements with the creditors (banks), (d) regarding the proper compilation of
the company's financial statements per activity / sector, in accordance with the provisions of Law 4001/2001, (d) for the audit of
the 2022 Remuneration Report of the Company, (e) on each Flash Report and Trading Update of the Company, (f) for the issuance
of assurance reports in the context of the examination of the implementation of the financial scope of the Company's investment
plans and its subsidiaries that have been subject to the provisions of Law 4399/2016, (g) on the financial data for the table
"CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE AND COMPETENCE DATA" in the context of the Company's participation in public tenders, and (h)
on the prospectus for a bond loan issued by the Company with public offering. The external auditors, during 2023, apart from
the regular audit and the tax certificate report, provided non-audit consulting services for a total amount of €168 thousand,
corresponding to 34,48% of the total fee received over the last three years.
Neither the work done, nor the fees payable of the assigned non audit services, compromised the independence or objectivity o f
our external auditors.

Sustainable Development Strategy
Sustainable Development is an integral part of the MYTILINEOS long-term business strategy. It is the driving force through which
the Company aspires to remain competitive in the long term, to meet contemporary challenges and, by developing appropriate
partnerships, to contribute to a new and efficient model of socially inclusive growth, as this is reflected in the Sustainabl e
Development Goals.
The Company's Sustainable Development Strategy is aimed at creating long-term and sustainable value for shareholders and
other Stakeholder groups, through a holistic approach that combines economic stability with social and environmental
sustainability. It is implemented on three basic levels that are inseparable from one another and is governed by specific Principles
that ensure completeness (Materiality Principle), quality (Stakeholder Inclusiveness Principle) and transparency (Accountability
Principle) across all its activities.
More specifically:
The first level expresses the Company's commitment to tackling climate change and its contribution to a low-emissions
economy. MYTILINEOS is fully aware that climate change is one of the most urgent issues facing the planet. Moreover, the
Company, considering the high CO2 emission intensity in its production processes, has highlighted the adaptation of its activities
to the consequences of climate change and the implementation of initiatives to address it, as key elements for its sustainable
operation. In this respect, it has designed a local strategy to address climate change, which serves to guide its initiatives to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions as defined by the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (COP21) and the
corresponding National Plan of Greece, which sets out its contribution to the European Green Deal (EU Green Deal).
Strategic Priorities
i. To further adapt its acvity to the consequences of climate change by analyzing the risks involved, while also taking
advantage of the opportunies arising.
ii. To implement, control and review the iniaves and the corresponding CO2 emission reducon and net zero targets for
2030 and 2050.
iii. To integrate climate targets into the Company’s strategic planning and decision-making processes.

reducing the CO2 emission intensity.
vi. To further develop the acvies of the new Renewables & Storage Development Business Unit.
The second level focuses on MYTILINEOS’ systematic approach to the recording, optimal management and disclosure of
information about the ESG risks and opportunities that may affect its performance, as well as its efforts to implement its
strategy. Through the ESG approach, MYTILINEOS strengthens its ability to create long-term value and manage significant
changes in the environment in which it operates. In this way, it responds to the modern-day sustainability requirements of
investors, capital markets and financial institutions, as well as to society's expectations of commitment and transparency
regarding these issues, whose number keeps increasing.
Strategic Priorities
i. To determine Material ESG topics and link them to the Company's nancial performance.
ii. To opmally manage of ESG risks and opportunies to create long-term value.
iii. To enhance the trust and facilitate the ow of informaon between the Company and the investor community.
iv. To responsibly disclose Non-Financial Informaon in accordance with the internaonal standards.
v. To constantly improve / maintain ESG performance levels.
vi. To integrate ESG criteria into the Company's investment decisions and into main operang procedures.
The third level focuses on the responsible operation of MYTILINEOS, which has been systematically cultivated, since 2008,
through the implementation of Responsible Entrepreneurship and the Company's commitment to the 10 Principles of the UN
Global Compact. For MYTILINEOS, Responsible Entrepreneurship is an ongoing self-improvement and incessant learning process,
while it also serves as a key mechanism for renewing its “social license to operate”, while at the same time it helps improve its
competitiveness at national and international level.
Strategic Priorities
i. To remain commied to its objecve of ensuring a healthy and safe work environment without accidents, adopng a
prevenon-oriented approach.
ii. To constantly migate the environmental impacts of its acvity.
iii. To develop, manage and retain a dedicated human capital, with pracces that promote an inclusive working
environment, with equal opportunies and respect for Human Rights.
iv. To connue to treat its people with responsibility and consistency, remaining their rst choice of employer during their
enre career paths, while at the same me invesng in their training and in the development of their skills.
v. To implement acons of high social value, including through the development of employee volunteering.
vi. To engage in a systemac and honest dialogue with its key Stakeholder groups, seeking to maintain mutual trust and as

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as they have been
transposed in Greek Legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are described in the “Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements” section of our report. During our
audit, we remained independent of the Company and the Group, in accordance with the International Ethics
Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Account ants (IESBA Code) as transposed in
Greek legislation and the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial
statements in Greece. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of the currently
enacted law and the requirements of the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
separate and the consolidated financial statements of the current annual period. These matters and the related risks
of material misstatements were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue recognition
Group and Company’s revenues arose from
differentiated operating segments. Given the
complexity of the volume of transactions, the use of
IT systems as well as management’s judgements
and estimates, which include an uncertainty,
revenue recognition has been considered as a key
audit matter.
More specifically, Group revenues arising from
electricity retailing are determined though IT
systems and include judgments and computations in
areas such as unbilled revenue from customers.
Group’s construction revenues are determined
based on their percentage of completion, as the
fraction of actual cost to total estimated cost until the
completion of each construction. Moreover, Group’s
revenue recognition from sales of RES portfolio are
determined through the separate performance
obligations intentifying in each contract.
Group and Company’s disclosures for the
accounting policy, judgements and estimates
used for revenues are included in explanatory
notes 2.2, 2.6, 2.21 and 3.1 to the financial
statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following
procedures:
I. We assessed the IT systems environment which
supports the main sources of revenues, including
related internal procedures and controls.
II. We assessed the correct data transfer from the
individual IT systems to the general ledger.
III. We assessed the judgements for the recognition
of unbilled revenue at the end the year ended 31
December 2023.
IV. We assessed the judgements for the recognition
of construction revenue as well as the calculation
of the percentage of completion at the end of the
year ended 31 December 2023.
V. We assessed whether the accounting policies
and the methodology applied by management is
appropriate and complies with IFRS 15.
VI. We assessed the adequacy of the related
disclosures included in explanatory notes 2.2, 2.6,
2.21 and 3.1 to the financial statements.
Assessment of whether non-current assets may be impaired
As at December 31, 2023, the Group has
recognized goodwill of €260 mil. (Company: €0),
intangible assets of €402 mil. (Company: €231 mil.)
and tangible assets of €1.984 mil. (Company:
€1.187 mil.). In addition, as at December 31, 2023
the Company holds investments in subsidiaries of
€548 mil. and investments in associates of €7 mil.
(Group: €3 mil.).
Goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for
use are tested for impairment annually, while
intangible assets with definite useful life, tangible
assets and investments in subsidiaries and
associates are tested for impairment whenever
there are related indications.
Taking into consideration the significant amounts of
the non-current assets mentioned above and the
use of management's assumptions and estimates
for the determination of the relative recoverable
amounts, we consider this area as a key audit
matter.
Impairment testing requires the determination of
recoverable amounts based on the value in use of
the assets. Value in use is derived from the
discounted cash flow method, based on business
plans which incorporate key management’s
assumptions and estimates.
Management's assumptions and estimates are
mainly related to the future prices of LME,
Our audit approach included, among others, the following
procedures:
I. We assessed management’s procedures for the
identification of impairment indications relating to
non-current assets.
II. We assessed management’s procedure relating
to the preparation of reliable business plans.
III. We assessed the reasonableness of
management’s assumptions and estimates.
IV. We assessed the mathematical accuracy of
discounted cash flow models.
V. For the above procedures, where this was
deemed appropriate, we used our firm’s
specialist.
VI. We assessed the adequacy of the related
disclosures included in explanatory notes 2.2, 2.4,
2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 to the
financial statements.
271

petroleum products, gas and electricity. They are
also related to the estimation of future exchange
rates and discount rates. Furthermore,
macroeconomic environment’s volatility,
competition as well as regulatory developments
could affect the operating performance of the
Group's cash generating units.
As at December 31, 2023, no impairment amount
has arisen for the Group (Company: €0 mil.) in
relation to the above categories of non-current
assets.
Group and Company’s disclosures for the
accounting policy, assumption and estimates used
for the analysis of the above non-current assets are
included in explanatory notes 2.2, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9,
2.10, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 to the financial
statements.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
As at December 31, 2023, the Group and the
Company are engaged (as defendant or
claimant) in numerous and complex litigation
claims and arbitration procedures in the course
of their operation.
The determination of provisions or disclosures
of contingent liabilities and contingent assets
which relate to litigation claims and arbitration
procedures has been considered as a key audit
matter as it includes significant management
judgments based on legal advisors’ estimates.
The estimates relate both to the outcome of
each claim and the potential economic impact
for the Group and the Company.
Group and Company’s disclosures relating to
provisions and contingent liabilities are included
in explanatory notes 2.2, 2.20, 3.20 and 3.39 to
the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following
procedures:
I. We assessed management's procedures
regarding the collection, monitoring and
evaluation of the outcome of pending litigation
claims.
II. We reviewed and assessed legal advisors’
responses and discussed them with the
management and the legal advisors, where this
was deemed appropriate.
III. We assessed management's conclusions
regarding the effect of pending litigation claims on
Group’s and Company’s financial position.
IV. We assessed the adequacy of the related
disclosures included in explanatory notes 2.2,
2.20, 3.20 and 3.39 to the financial statements.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is included in the Board of Directors’
Report, as referred to the “Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section, in the Declaration of the
Board of Directors Representatives, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we
will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the procedures performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein; we are required to communicate that matter. We have nothing to report in this respect.
272

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the separate and consolidated
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union,
and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group
or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (Art. 44, Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company’s and
the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate and consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
II. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s and the Group’s internal control.
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
IV. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are
273
© 2024 Grant Thornton SA | 58, Katehaki Av. 115 25 Athens | Τ: +30 210 7280000 F: +30 210 7212222 | www.grant-thornton.gr
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group
to cease to continue as a going concern.
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
VI. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the Company and the
Group. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current annual period and are therefore
the key audit matters.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
1. Board of Directors’ Report
Taking into consideration that management is responsible for the preparation of the Board of Directors’ Report which

In the context of the corporate transformation of Mytilineos Group, with the decisions of the Extraordinary General Meeting o f
Shareholders held on 10.04.2023, the spin-off of the Infrastructure Division of the Company and its contribution to the wholly
owned subsidiary named “MYTILINEOS CONSTRUCTION SINGLE MEMBER SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME” (trading as "ΜΕΤΚΑ ΑΤΕ"), was
approved in accordance with the provisions of law 4601/2019 (articles 57 para. 2, 59-73), law 4548/2018, and article 52 of law
4172/2013.
On 16.05.2023, with the approval decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments (ΑΔΑ: 6ΕΝ 46 ΜΤΛΡ-ΖΤΥ) which was
registered in the General Commercial Registry on the same day with Registration Code 3607789, the spin-off of the Infrastructure
Division of the Company and its contribution to the wholly-owned subsidiary named “MYTILINEOS CONSTRUCTION SINGLE
MEMBER SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME” (trading as "ΜΕΤΚΑ ΑΤΕ") was completed, in accordance with the provisions of law 4601/2019
(article 57 para. 2, 59-73), law 4548/2018, and article 52 of law 4172/2013.
As a result of the spin-off, the following consequences arise:
i) "ΜΕΤΚΑ ΑΤΕ" replaces the entire transferred property as the universal successor, as reflected in the Company's financial
statements as of 31.12.2022 and was shaped until the day of the completion of the spin-off,
ii) The share capital of "ΜΕΤΚΑ ΑΤΕ" increased by €148.180.390 by issuing 148.180.390 new common registered shares with a
nominal value of €1.00 each, which were fully subscribed by the Company.
The impact of the spin-off on the Financial Position of the Separated Entity is analyzed in Note 1.3 Group Structure. The
comparative information of the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the summary Statement of Cash Flow has
been restated to present the discontinued operations at the company level. The spin-off has no effect on the
consolidated financial statements of the period or the comparative figures.

December 2023
The consolidated financial statements of MYTILINEOS S.A. as of December 31st 2023 covering the entire 2023 fiscal year, have
been compiled based on the historic cost principle except for financial assets valued at fair values, the going concern principle
and are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have been issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and their interpretations that have been issued by the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB.
According to the IFRS, the preparation of the Financial Statements requires estimations during the application of the Group’s
accounting principles. Important admissions are presented wherever it has been judged appropriate.
The reporting currency is Euro (currency of the country of the domicile of the parent Company) and all amounts are reported i n
thousands unless stated otherwise.
2.1 Changes in material accounting policies
The material accounting policies and calculations based upon under the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are
the same as those applied for the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for FY ended as of 31 December
2022 and have been consistently applied for all the presented years, except for the following mentioned case.
New Accounting policies and amendments in presentation of financial statements
The spin-off of the Infrastructure Division was accounted for as a business combination under common control and is not within
the scope of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations." The transaction is considered an intra-group restructuring, and therefore, there is
no substantive change in the financials of the Group. The assets and liabilities of the Infrastructure Division were transferred at
their carrying amounts, and the investment in the company was recognized by the Parent Company at the net carrying amount
of the assets and liabilities transferred.
2.1.1 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that are effective and have been adopted
by the European Union
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their application is mandatory from or after 01.01.2023.
IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2023)
In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to
provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an
insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions
and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance
contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. Furthermore, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments, which do not
affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 has first been issued. The amendments are designed to reduce costs
by simplifying some requirements in the Standard, make financial performance easier to explain, as well as ease transition by

deferring the effective date of the Standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying
the Standard for the first time. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate financial statements of the Grou p
and Company. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01.01.2023.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and Statement of Practice IFRS 2 (effective for annual periods
starting on or after 01.01.2023):
In February 2021, the IASB issued limited amendments to disclosures of accounting policies. The amendments are intended to
improve disclosures in accounting policies to provide more useful information to investors and other users of the Financial
Statements. In particular, the amendments require material information about accounting policies to be disclosed rather than
significant accounting policies. The Group and the Company have assessed and amended the disclosure of its accounting policie s
in accordance with the guidance in IAS 1. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date 01.01.2023.
Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates”
(effective for annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2023)
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that they clarify how companies should distinguish changes in
accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in accounting estimates
are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally
also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and
separate financial statements of the Group and Company. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective
date of 01.01.2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction”
(effective for annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2023)
In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 to specify how companies should account for deferred tax on
transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and a
liability. In specified circumstances, companies are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities
for the first time. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognise
deferred tax on such transactions.
Amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information” (effective
for annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2023)
In December 2021, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS 17 to address an important
issue related to temporary accounting mismatches between insurance contract liabilities and financial assets in the comparative
information presented when applying IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” for the first time. The
amendment aims to improve the usefulness of comparative information for the users of the financial statements. The
amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate financial statements of the Group and Company. The above have been
adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01.01.2023.

Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (effective immediately and for
annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2023)
In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”:
International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules. The amendments introduced a) a temporary exception to the requirements
to recognize and disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes and b) targeted
disclosure requirements for affected entities Companies may apply the temporary exception immediately but disclosure
requirements are required for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023 The amendments do not affect the
consolidated and separate financial statements of the Group and Company. The above have been adopted by the European Union
with effective date of 01.01.2023.
2.1.2 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that have not been applied yet or have
not been adopted by the European Union
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet, or they have not been adopted by the European Union.
Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” (effective for annual periods starting on or after
01.01.2024)
In September 2022, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases” which add to requirements explaining how a
company accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. A sale and leaseback is a transaction for which a
company sells an asset and leases that same asset back for a period of time from the new owner. IFRS 16 includes requirements
on how to account for a sale and leaseback at the date the transaction takes place. However, IFRS 16 had not specified how to
measure the transaction when reporting after that date. The issued amendments add to the sale and leaseback requirements in
IFRS 16, thereby supporting the consistent application of the Accounting Standard. These amendments will not change the
accounting for leases other than those arising in a sale and leaseback transaction. The Group will examine the impact of the above
on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with
effective date of 01.01.2 024.
Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” (effective for annual periods starting on or after
01.01.2024)
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect requirements for the presentation of liabilities. Specifically,
they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an
entity’s right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is una ffected by
management’s intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; (c) clarifying how
lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by
issuing its own equity instruments. Furthermore, in July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to defer by one year the effectiv e
date of the initially issued amendment to IAS 1, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, in October 2022, the IASB issued
7. Annual Financial Statements
311
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
an additional amendment that aim to improve the information companies provide about long-term debt with covenants. IAS 1
requires a company to classify debt as non-current only if the company can avoid settling the debt in the 12 months after the
reporting date. However, a company’s ability to do so is often subject to complying with covenants. The amendments to IAS 1
specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-
current at the reporting date. Instead, the amendments require a company to disclose information about these covenants in the
notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2024, with early adoption permitted. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is
not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01.01.2024.
Amendments to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”: Supplier Finance
Arrangements (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2024)
In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued Supplier Finance Arrangements, which amended IAS
7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB issued Supplier Finance Arrangements to
require an entity to provide additional disclosures about its supplier finance arrangements. The amendments require additiona l
disclosures that complement the existing disclosures in these two standards. They require entities to provide users of financial
statements with information that enable them a) to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an entity’s liabilities and
cash flows and to understand the effect of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s exposure to liquidity risk and how th e
entity might be affected if the arrangements were no longer available to it. The amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 are effective for
accounting periods on or after 1 January 2024. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements,
though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
Amendments to IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (effective for annual periods
starting on or after 01.01.2025)
In August 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in
Foreign Exchange Rates that require entities to provide more useful information in their financial statements when a currency
cannot be exchanged into another currency. The amendments introduce a definition of currency exchangeability and the
process by which an entity should assess this exchangeability. In addition, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity
should estimate a spot exchange rate in cases where a currency is not exchangeable and require additional disclosures in cases
where an entity has estimated a spot exchange rate due to a lack of exchangeability. The amendments to IAS 21 are effective
for accounting periods on or after 1 January 2025. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements,
though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
2.2 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions.
Preparations of financial statements under IFRS requires the management to apply judgments, make estimates and use
assumptions that affect publisized amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at
the financial statements preparation date and publicized amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period. The actual
results may differ from estimated.
7. Annual Financial Statements
312
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Estimations are reassessed on an on-going basis and are based on both – past experience and other factors, such as expectations
of future events deemed reasonable under the current conditions.
2.2.1 Judgments
The applied accounting principles and judgments of the management, apart from those pertaining to estimates, that have the
most significant effect on the amounts, recognized in the financial statements, mainly pertain to the following:
Recoverability of receivables
Allowances for doubtful receivables are based on historical date on recoverability of receivables and take into account the
expected credit risk. The method, applied by Company, facilitates calculating the expected credit losses over the life of its
receivables. The methods is used on past experience, but is adapted in order to reflect projections for the future financial
condition of customers and economic environment. Balancing historical data and future financial conditions with the expected
credit losses requires applying significant estimates. The amount of the allowance is recognized as an expense in other operating
expenses in the income statement.
Obsolesce of inventory
Adequate allowances are made for obsolete, useless and slow moving inventory. Impairment in net realizable value of inventory
and other losses are recorded in the income statement for the period when incurred.
2.2.2 Estimates and assumptions
Estimating specific amounts, included or affecting financial statements and related disclosures required making assumptions in
respect of values or circumstances that cannot be known with certainty at the time of financial statements preparation.
Significant accounting estimate is defined as an estimate significant to the company's financial position and results, which
requires the most difficult, subjective or complex management judgments, often arising from the need to make estimates
regarding the effect of assumptions that are uncertain. The Group assesses such assumptions on an on-going basis, taking into
close consideration historical data and experience, discussions with experts, current trends and other methods considered
appropriate, under the effective conditions, in line with the projections as to how the change in the future.
Significant accounting estimates and judgments of the Management applied under the preparation of the current financial
statements are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements as of December 31
st
2022. The following issues
are to be noted following the above and in particular, regarding the financial statements as of 31.12.2023:
Goodwill impairment estimates
The Group tests goodwill for potential impairment on annual basis and whenever events or circumstances indicate that
impairment may be effective (ex. a major adverse change in the corporate environment or a decision to sell or dispose of a
reporting unit). Determining whether an impairment is effective requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, estimated
applying a discounted cash flow method. When deemed available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are applied
in order to verify the results arising from discounted cash flows. When applying the particular method, the Management relies
on a number of factors, including actual operating results, future business plans, economic projections and market data.
7. Annual Financial Statements
313
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Should this analysis indicates the existence of goodwill impairment, its measurement requires estimating fair value of every
identified tangible or intangible asset. In this case, cash flow approach is applied, as recorded above, by independent appraisers,
whenever deemed appropriate.
Other identified intangible assets with defined useful lives, subject to amortization, are tested for impairment through comparing
the carrying amount to the aggregation of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Intangible assets with
indefinite lives are tested for impairment on annual basis applying a fair value method such as discounted cash flows.
The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually, in accordance with the accounting principles recorded in Note 3.4. The
recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations, which require the use
of accounting estimates.
Budgeting of construction contracts
The accounting treatment of revenues and expenses of a construction contract depends on whether the final result of the
contract can be estimated reliably (and is expected to generate profit or loss for the beneficiary). When the result of a
construction contract can be estimated reliably then all the respective revenues and expenses related to the contract are
recognized during the term of the contract. The Group uses the percentage of completion method to determine the appropriate
amount of the respective revenue and expense to be recognized in every period. The percentage of completion is calculated as
the contracted cost realized over the total budgeted cost of construction for each project. Therefore, significant management
estimates are required with regard to the gross result regarding the completed construction (estimated cost of execution).
Income tax
The Group and the Company are subject to income tax in numerous tax jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required while
determining provisions for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group and the Company recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issue s
based on estimates of the extent, to which additional taxes will be imposed. When the final tax outcome of these matters is
different from the initially recorded amount, such differences will affect the income tax and provisions for deferred tax in the
period when the aforementioned amounts have been determined.
Provisions for rehabilitation of environment
The Group operates in the sectors of Metallurgy and Energy. The environmental impacts, potentially to be generated by the
aforementioned activities, may cause rehabilitation costs. For the determination of environmental rehabilitation costs and th e
time they may occur, the Group performs the relevant analyzes and makes assessments using specialized technical and legal
consultants. The Group makes a provision in its financial statements for the estimated environmental rehabilitation costs when
these are considered probable.
Contingent liabilities
In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Group gets involved in litigations and claim. The Management estimates
that none of the resulting settlements would materially affect the financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2023.
7. Annual Financial Statements
314

from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
However, determining contingent liabilities relating to litigations and claims is a complex procedures, involving s judgments as to
potential outcomes and interpretation of legislations and regulations.
Revenue recognition from consumed and non-invoiced energy
Management believes that the customers to whom the electricity is sold continuously receive and spend the benefit derived fro m
the sale as the entity fulfils its contractual obligations. For this reason, revenue is recognised on the basis of metered data or on
the basis of an estimate of electricity consumption. The actual amounts that are finally invoiced may differ from the projected
amounts.
2.3 Discontinued Operations
The Company Mytilineos S.A. which resulted from the merger of its subsidiaries METKA, ALUMINUM OF GREECE, PROTERGIA and
PROTERGIA THERMO AGIOS NIKOLAOS presents separately the result from discontinued operations as described below.
In 2009, applying IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations", the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary
company SOMETRA S.A. were presented separately, regarding which a decision was made on January 26, 2009 on temporary
suspension of the production activity of the Zinc-Lead production plant in Romania, and presents also the amounts recognized in
the income statement separately from continuing operations. Given the global economic recession, there were no feasible
scenarios for the alternative utilization of the aforementioned financial assets.
Consequently, since 2011, by applying par. 13 of IFRS 5 “Non-current assets Held for Sale” Zinc-Lead («SOMETRA S.A.»)
production ceases to be an asset held for sale and is considered as an asset to be abandoned. The assets of its operations returned
to continuing operations while at the same time, it continued to show separately the result of the discontinued operation in the
income statement.
On 31.12.2015, SOMETRA S.A., contributed the Zinc-Lead activity, through a spin – off process, to its newly established subsidiary
Reycom Recycling S.A. (REYCOM). The said spin - off is part of the "Mytilineos Group" restructuring process, regarding the Zi nc-
Lead discontinued operation, targeting on the production of Zn & Pb oxides through the development of a recycling operation o f
metallurgical residues. Within the same frame, on 29.11.2016 the cross-border merger of the subsidiary REYCOM and the
subsidiary company ALUMINUM OF GREECE (ATE) was completed.
Within 2023 the Group has already planned investments related to SOMETRA S.A. that will bring financial results and cash flow
in the future. Some of the investments have already been approved and others are in the research and techno-economic study
phase. Specifically, a 20MW photovoltaic park within company's facilities is under licensing. Completion of construction is
expected in mid-2025 and will generate cash flow.
Also, the possibility of recycling metallurgical residues in order to produce zinc oxides (Zn), Lead (Pb) and other metals using new
metallurgical methods is being investigated. The R&D and economic study for this activity is expected to be completed in the first
quarter of 2025. In case of positive results, the Group will proceed with a significant investment in a new metallurgical process
residues recycling unit, which, if implemented, is expected to operate in 2027, and bring significant financial results to the Group.
As of 2023, the activity has been transferred to continued operations and the items in the consolidated Total Income Statemen t
for the comparative period ended 31.12.2022 have been restated in order to to reflect its elements in continuing activities (see
note 3.30).

2.4 Consolidation
(a) Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) in which the Group holds more than half of the voting
rights or has the ability to direct the financial and operating principles followed.
The existence of potential voting rights that are exercisable at the time the financial statements are prepared, is taken int o
account in order to determine whether the parent exercises control over the subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated completely (full consolidation) using the purchase method from the date that control over them is
acquired and cease to be consolidated from the date that control no longer exists.
The acquisition of a subsidiary by the Group is accounted for using the purchase method. The paragraph “2.9 Intangible Assets
Goodwill” presents the accounting treatment of goodwill. The acquisition cost of a subsidiary is the fair value of the asset s given
as consideration, the shares issued and the liabilities undertaken on the date of the acquisition plus any costs directly associated
with the transaction. The individual assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that are acquired during a business combination
are valued during the acquisition at their fair values regardless of the participation percentage. The acquisition cost over and
above the fair value of the individual assets acquired is booked as goodwill. If the total cost of the acquisition is lower than the
fair value of the individual assets acquired, the difference is immediately transferred to the income statement.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized profits from transactions between Group companies are eliminated in
consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated except if the transaction provides indication of impairment of the transferred
asset. The accounting principles of the subsidiaries have been amended so as to be in conformity to the ones adopted by the
Group.
Transactions with minorities: For the accounting of transactions with minority, the Group applies the accounting principle based
on which such transactions are handled as transactions with third parties beyond the Group. The sales towards the minority
create profit and losses for the Group, which are booked in the results. The purchases by the minority create goodwill, which is
the difference between the price paid and the percentage of the book value of the equity of the subsidiary acquired.
(b) Associates: Associates are companies on which the Group can exercise significant influence but not “control” and which do
not fulfill the conditions to be classified as subsidiaries or joint ventures. The assumptions used by the group imply that holding
a percentage between 20% and 50% of a company’s voting rights suggests significant influence on the company. Investments in
associates are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently valued using the Equity method. At the end of each period, the
cost of acquisition is increased by the Group’s share in the associates’ net assets change and is decreased by the dividends
received from the associates.
Any goodwill arising from acquiring associates is contained in the cost of acquisition. Whether any impairment of this goodwi ll
occurs, this impairment decreases the cost of acquisition by equal charge in the income statement of the period.
After the acquisition, the Group’s share in the profits or losses of associates is recognized in the income statement, while the
share of changes in reserves is recognized in Equity. The cumulated changes affect the book value of the investments in assoc iated
companies. When the Group’s share in the losses of an associate is equal or larger than the carrying amount of the investment,
including any other doubtful debts, the Group does not recognize any further losses, unless it has guaranteed for liabilities or
made payments on behalf of the associate or those that emerge from ownership.
Unrealized profits from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated according to the Group’s percentage
ownership in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated, except if the transaction provides indications of impairment of the

transferred asset. The accounting principles of the associates have been adjusted to be in conformity to the ones adopted by the
Group.
(c) Investments in joint ventures: Investments in joint ventures are classified according to IFRS 11 as “Joint Operation”, or “Joint
Venture”. The classification is based upon each participating parties’ rights and obligations arising from the joint
arrangement. Joint operation is a joint arrangement where the parties who have joint control over the arrangement have rights
to the assets and liabilities associated with the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement where the parties who
have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint operations are accounted for using
the proportional method for financial statements of company. In particular, the company recognizes in the financial statement s
its assets, its liabilities, it’s share in the proceeds of the sale of production from the joint operation, and its expenses according
to the effective proportions in the financial statements of the Company. Essentially, these are, mostly, tax joint operations, which
do not constitute a separate entity within the framework of the IFRS. Joint operations are accounted according to the equity
method. Investments in joint ventures according to the equity method are initially recognized at cost and are then adjusted to
the Group's share of profits or losses and other comprehensive income of the joint ventures. When the Group's share of losses
of a joint venture is equal to or exceeds its interest in that joint venture, the Group does not recognize any further losses unless
it has entered commitments or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture. Unrealized gains on transactions between
the Group and joint ventures are eliminated by the Group's participation in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also
eliminated unless there is evidence of the transaction for impairment of the asset transferred.
2.5 Acquired assets of Renewables & Storage Development Business Unit
In the context of M Renewable Business Unit operations, the Group participates in entities, expected to obtain or hold licenses
for photovoltaic or wind farms for the purpose of their development and resale. As far as such entities are concerned, it is
established that their assets an d liabilities that do not constitute “business” as defined in IFRS 3 and do not fall within the scope
of this standard, Therefore, those transactions are accounted for as acquisition of assets. The accounting treatment of these
companies is conducted through their recognition as inventory, since the Group aims to study, supply and construct power plants
and further resell them at the end of their construction to buyers. In the financial statements the above companies are recognized
at acquisition values or deemed cost, as determined on the basis of fair values at the date of their participation. Subsequen t
expenses are recognized in addition to their carrying amount if the future financial benefits are probable to flow to the Group
and their cost can be measured reliably. When their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amount, the difference
(impairment) is directly recognized as an expense in the income statement. Upon their sale, the Group recognizes the revenues
and expenses associated with the sale of the renewable energy portfolio based on the determination of separate obligations
arising from the contract with the customer. In the event of short-term operation of the above entities by the Group, whenever
it bears the risks and benefits of their operations, their assets, liabilities, income and expenses for the period until their disposal
are recognized.
2.6 Segment reporting
MYTILINEOS Group was active in four main operating business segments: a) Metallurgy, b) Sustainable Engineering Solutions, c)
Renewables and Storage Development and d) Power & Gas.
7. Annual Financial Statements
317
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st

st
December 2023
On 10.01.2023 the Board of Directors approved the reorganization of the Company's structures with effect from 01.01.2023. The
new organizational structure of MYTILINEOS has now two (2) business Segments the new Energy Segment and the Metallurgy
Segment and is supplemented by the Infrastructure and Concessions. Infrastructure includes METKA ATE following the spin-off
and its subsidiaries, while Concessions from the Concessions Company are also included.
The new Energy Sector includes five new activities:
M Renewables
M Energy Generation & Management
M Energy Customer Solutions
M Power Projects
M Integrated Supply & Trading
The new Metallurgy Sector encompasses the following six activities.
Aluminium of Greece Factory
Volos Factory
Recycling
Commercial
Bauxite Mining
Zinc & Lead Metallurgy
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, management generally follows the Group's service lines, which represent the
main products and services provided by the Group, in identifying its operating segments.
Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines requires different technologies and other
resources as well as marketing approaches. The Group’s service lines that do not fulfil the quantitative and qualitative thre sholds
of IFRS 8, in order to be considered as separate segments, are presented cumulatively under the category “Others” and they
mainly concern the support function of the Group’s business segments.
2.7 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional currency and presentation currency
The measurement of the items in the financial statements of the Group’s companies is based on the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the Group operates (operating currency). The consolidated financial statements are reported in
euros, which is the operating currency and the reporting currency of the parent Company and all its subsidiaries.
(b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to the operating currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transactions.
Profits and losses from foreign exchange differences that result from the settlement of such transactions during the period and
from the conversion of monetary items denominated in foreign currency using the rate in effect at the balance sheet date are
posted to the results. Foreign exchange differences from non-monetary items that are valued at their fair value are considered
as part of their fair value and are thus treated similarly to fair value differences.
The Group’s foreign activities in foreign currency (which constitute an inseparable part of the parent’s activities), are con verted
to the operating currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transaction, while the asset and liability items of foreign
7. Annual Financial Statements
318
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
activities, including surplus value and fair value adjustments, that arise during the consolidation, are converted to euro using the
exchange rates that are in effect as at the balance sheet date.
Exchange differences arising from financial assets and liabilities (intragroup loans and long-term non-commercial
receivables/liabilities for which repayment is not planned or unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future) that have been identified
as part of an entity's net investment in a subsidiary company operating abroad are recognized in the income statement of its
individual financial statements an entity and/or a subsidiary. In the consolidated financial statements, the above foreign exchange
differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and are included in the Balance Sheet conversion reserve. When the
repayment of the above financial assets and liabilities is planned or is likely to occur in the foreseeable future, the accumulated
bills of exchange in the reserves are reclassified in the consolidated income statement as the financial assets cease to be part of
an entity's net investment in a subsidiary company operating abroad. The same accounting treatment of reclassification is applied
during the sale of the subsidiary.
(c) The Group’s companies
Operating results and equity of all Group’s companies (excluding those opening in hyperinflationary economies), that their
operating currency is not the same as Group’s, are translated to Group’s presentation currency as follows:
i. Assets and liabilities are presented and translated according to the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
ii. Sales and expenses of the Profit and Loss statement are translated according to the average exchange rate of the balance
sheet period.
iii. Foreign exchange differences arising from the above are registered at equity account “Translation Reserve”.
2.8 Tangible assets
Fixed assets are reported in the financial statements at acquisition cost or deemed cost, as determined based on fair values as at
the transition dates, less accumulated depreciations and any impairment suffered by the assets. The acquisition cost includes all
the directly attributable expenses for the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent expenditure is added to the carrying value of the tangible fixed assets or is booked as a separate fixed asset only if it
is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and their cost can be accurately and reliably measured. Th e
repair and maintenance cost is booked in the results when such is realized.
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (other than Land which are not depreciated) is calculated using the straight line metho d
over their useful life, as follows:
Buildings 25-35 years Mechanical equipment 4-30 years Vehicles 4-10 years Other equipment 4-7 years
The residual values and useful economic life of tangible fixed assets are subject to reassessment at each balance sheet date.
When the book value of tangible fixed assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the difference (impairment) is immediately
booked as an expense in the income statement.
Upon sale of the tangible fixed assets, any difference between the proceeds and the book value are booked as profit or loss t o
the results. Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is booked as an expense in the period they occur.
7. Annual Financial Statements

st
December 2023
Self-constructed tangible fixed assets constitute an addition to the acquisition cost of tangible assets at a value that includes the
direct cost of employee’s salaries (including the relevant employer’s contributions), the cost of materials used and other general
costs.
2.9 Intangible assets - Goodwill
The intangible assets include Goodwill, the rights of use of Property, plant and equipment, software licenses, licenses for the
production, installation and operation of renewable energy assets and thermal energy assets, the environment rehabilitation
expenditure.
Software Software licenses are valued in cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Costs that improve or prolong the
performance of software programs beyond the original technical specifications or software conversion costs are included in th e
cost of acquiring intangible assets with a prerequisite that they can be measured reliably. Software licenses are valued in cost of
acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method during the assets’ usefu l life
that range from 1 to 3 years. Maintenance of software programs is recognized as an expense when the expense is incurred.
Production, Installation and Operation Licenses of Renewable Energy Assets and Thermal Energy Assets: The different types of
licenses entitles the group either with the right to construct an energy asset or the right to produce and sell energy. Current
market conditions provide adequate evidence about the recoverable amount of such licenses.
The Group, upon acquisition, recognized these permits as intangible assets at their fair value and then measured them using the
cost model, according to which the asset is measured at cost (which is the acquisition cost of the asset value as described above)
less depreciation and any impairment provision. Therefore, the Group has recognized licenses as intangible assets at fair value
less depreciation and less any provision for impairment. Depreciation is carried out using the straight-line method over the useful
life of those items, which is 30 years for gas-fired power plants and 25 years for renewable electricity. The Group runs impairment
tests on a yearly basis using the following methodology:
i) Attach possibility factors according to management estimation regarding the construction of assets under license.
ii) Runs Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) methodology using assumptions prevailing at the energy market. The period regarded by
the management for provisions exceeds the five years encouraged by IAS 36 as, especially for the renewable energy assets, there
is satisfactory visibility for a substantially longer period.
iii) The final recoverable amount is calculated for a total portfolio of either renewable or thermal energy assets by multiplying
the overall possibility factor with the outcome of the DCF valuation.
iv) Finally, the Group compares the recoverable value calculated to be the value-in-use of the assets with their carrying amounts.
When the recoverable value is less than the carrying amount an equal impairment provision is charged to the income statement.
Legal rights to explore mines: The legal rights to explore mines concern rights that the group has acquired mining mineral
reserves in several geographical areas. The depreciation time period that is adopted by the Group does not exceed 10 years.
Right of Use of Tangible Assets: Rights of exploitation of tangible assets that are granted in the frames of conventions of
manufacture of work (compensative profits) are valued in cost of acquisition, which equals their fair value at the date of their
concession, less accumulated deprec iation. Depreciation is calculated using the “production units method”.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and Development expenditures are recognized as expenses when they are
realized. The expenses which arise from the developing programs (related to the design and the test of new or improved
7. Annual Financial Statements
320
Annual Financial Report for the period

st

st
December 2023
products) are capitalized if it is possible to produced future economic benefit. The other development expenditures are booke d
as an expense in the results when they are realized. Previous years’ development expenditures recognized as expenses, can not
be capitalized in the future fiscal years. The capitalized development expenses are depreciated from the beginning of the
product’s economic life using the straight line method during the period of the product’s future economic benefits. The Group’s
depreciation period doesn’t exceed the 5 years.
Land Stripping & Restoration expenses: Land Stripping & Restoration expenses are capitalized and amortized using the unit of
production method. In land stripping expenses included the below categories:
a. topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies;
b. exploratory drilling;
c. trenching;
d. sampling; and
e. activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resources.
Restoration expenses apart from nominal value of the rights, any cost that relates to the initial evaluation of the rehabilitation
cost of the area where work has been done, the commitment of the Group either during the acquirement of the right or as a
result of its use for a certain time period.
Goodwill on Acquisition is the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost and fair value and the net assets of the subsidiary
/ associate company as at the acquisition date. During the acquisition date, the company recognizes this surplus value, emerged
from acquisition, as an asset and presents it in cost. This cost is equal to the amount by which the acquisition cost exceeds the
company’s share in the net assets of the acquired company.
After the initial recognition, the surplus value is valued at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The surplus value is not
depreciated but is reviewed on an annual basis for possible decrease in its value (impairment), if there are events that indicate
such a loss according to IAS 36.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. A cash generated unit is the smallest
identifiable group of assets generating cash inflows independently and represents the level used by the Group to organize and
present each activity and results in its internal reporting. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount (typically the value in use) of
the cash-generating units is less than their carrying amount an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to
goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December.
In the case where acquisition cost is less than the company’s stake in the acquired company’s net assets, the former recalcul ates
the acquisition cost and valuates the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired company. Any difference prevailing
after the recalculation is recognized directly in the income statement as a profit.
2.10 Impairment of Assets
Assets with an indefinite useful life are not depreciated and are subject to an impairment review annually and when some events
suggest that the book value may not be recoverable any resulting difference is charged to the period’s results. Assets that a re
depreciated are subject to an impairment review when there is evidence that their value will not be recoverable. The recoverable
7. Annual Financial Statements
321
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
value is the greater between the net sales value and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized by the company when the
book value of these assets (or cash generating unit- CGU) is greater than its recoverable amount.
Net sales value is the amount received from the sale of an asset at an arm’s length transaction in which participating partie s have
full knowledge and participate voluntarily, after deducting any additional direct cost for the sale of the asset, while value in use
is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to flow into the company from the use of the asset and
from its disposal at the end of its estimated useful life.
2.11 Financial instruments
i) Initial recognition
A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the statement of financial position of the Group when it arises or when the
Group becomes part of the contractual terms of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and are subsequently measured at amortized cost at fair value through other
comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss.
Initially, the Group measures financial assets at fair value. Trade receivables (which do not contain significant financial assets) are
carried at transaction price.
If a financial asset is to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value through comprehensive income, it shall
generate cash exclusively pertaining to capital and interest repayments of the initial capital. The business model applied by the
Group for the purposes of managing financial assets refers to the way in which it manages its financial capabilities in order to
generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will arise from collecting contractual cash flows, disposal
of financial assets, or both. Acquisition or disposal of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a timeframe specified
by a regulation or a contract is recognized as at the transaction date, i.e. as at the date when the Group makes a commitment to
acquire or to dispose of the asset.
ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
To facilitate subsequent measurement purposes, financial assets are classified into the following categories:
a) financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated at initial
recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets
are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for sale or repurchase in the near future. Derivatives, including embedded
derivatives, are also classified as held for trading, unless they are defined as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with
cash flows referring not only to capital and interest payments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss,
irrespective of the business model.
b) financial assets at amortized cost
The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: (1) the financial asset is held
in order maintain financial assets for the purposes of collecting contractual cash flows; and (2) the contractual terms of th e
financial asset generating cash flows at specified dates only pertain to capital and interest payments on the balance of the initial
capital.
7. Annual Financial Statements
322
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Financial assets which are measured at amortized cost, subsequently apply the Effective Interest Rate Method (EIR) and are
subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.
c) financial assets at fair value through total comprehensive income
Upon initial recognition, the Group may decide to irrevocably classify its investment participations as equity instruments
designated at fair value through total comprehensive income when they meet the definition of equity and are not held for trading.
Classification is determined per financial instrument. Profits and losses from these financial assets are never recycled to profits
or losses. Equity instruments designated at fair value through total comprehensive income are not subject to impairment test.
The Group has decided to classify its non-listed shares into this category.
iii) Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognized when:
i. The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
ii. The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has undertaken the commitment to fully pay
the cash flows received without significant delay to a third party under an arrangement and has either (a) transferred
substantially all the risks and the assets of the asset or (b) has neither transferred nor held substantially all the risks and
estimates of the asset but has transferred the control of the asset.
iv) Impairment
The Group recognizes provision for impairment for expected credit losses regarding all financial assets not measured at fair value
through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are based on the balance between all the payable contractual cash flows and al l
discounted cash flows that the Group expects to receive.
Regarding trade receivables, the Group applies simplified approach in order to calculate expected credit losses. Therefore, a t
every reporting date, provision for losses regarding a financial instrument is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit
losses over its lifetime without monitoring changes in credit risk.
2.12 Fair value determination
Fair value of financial assets traded on active markets (stock exchanges) is determined by the quoted prices effective as at the
balance sheet date. Fair value of financial assets not traded on active markets is determined applying valuation techniques a nd
assumptions based on market data at the end of the reporting period.
2.13 Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and net realizable value. The cost of finished and semi-unfinished products
includes all the costs incurred to locate them at their current storage and processing point and consists of raw materials, labor,
general industrial costs and packaging costs. The cost of inventories is determined by operating segment and by their nature,
using acceptable measurement methods that are consistent with the financial statements preparation framework. The cost of
inventories does not include financial expenses.
Net realizable value is the estimated sales price during the normal course of the company’s business less any relevant sales
expenses. Provision for slow moving or depreciated stocks is made when deemed necessary.

2.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in the bank and in hand as well as short term highly liquid investments such as money
market products and bank deposits and overdrafts, as well as other high liquidity investments that are directly convertible t o
specific amounts of cash that are subject to a non-significant risk of change in value.
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash available include cash and balances with banks a s
well as cash as stated above.
2.15 Long-term assets held for sale and discontinued operations
The Group classifies a long-term asset, or a group of assets and liabilities as held for sale if their value is expected to be recovered
principally through the disposal of the items and not through their use.
The key prerequisites for the classification of a long-term asset or a group of assets (assets and liabilities) as held for sale are the
asset or the group available for direct sale in their current state and the completion of the sale depends only on from normal and
formal conditions for sales of such items and the sale should be highly probable.
Immediately prior to the initial classification of the asset or group of assets and liabilities as held for sale, the asset (or all of the
assets and liabilities included in the group) are measured using the IFRS applicable in each case.
Long-term assets (or groups of assets and liabilities) classified as held for sale are valued (after initial classification as above) at
the lower of their value in the financial statements and their fair value less direct costs disposal, and the resulting impairment
losses are recognized in the income statement. Potential increase in fair value in a subsequent measurement is recognized in the
income statement but not in excess of the impairment loss initially recognized.
From the date when a long-term asset (or long-term assets included in a group of assets and liabilities) is classified as held for
sale, no depreciation is accounted for on such long-term assets.
2.16 Share capital
Expenses incurred for the issuance of shares reduce, after deducting the relevant income tax, the proceeds from the issue.
Expenses related to the issuance of shares for the purchase of companies are included in the acquisition cost of the company
acquired. Where any Group company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (Treasury shares), the consideration paid,
including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders un til
the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration
received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity
holders. Treasury stock does not hold any voting rights. Own shares of subsidiaries of the Group (which do not relate to shares
of the parent company) are treated in the Group as assets available for sale.
2.17 Income tax & deferred tax
The tax for the period comprises current income tax and deferred tax, i.e. the tax charges or tax credits that are associated with
economic benefits accruing in the period but have been assessed by the tax authorities in different periods. Income tax is
recognized in the income statement of the period, except for the tax relating to transactions that have been booked directly to
Equity. In such case the related tax is, accordingly, booked directly to Equity.
7. Annual Financial Statements
324
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Current income taxes include the short-term liabilities or receivables from the fiscal authorities that relate to taxes payable on
the taxable income of the period and any additional income taxes from previous periods (tax audit differences).
Current taxes are measured according to the tax rates and tax laws prevailing during the financial years to which they relate,
based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to the short-term tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax
expense in the income statement.
Deferred income tax is determined according to the liability method which results from the temporary differences between the
book value and the tax base of assets or liabilities. Deferred tax is not booked if it results from the initial recognition of an asset
or liability in a transaction, except for a business combination, which when it occurred did not affect neither the accounting nor
the tax profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued based on the tax rates that are expected to be in effect during the period in which
the asset or liability will be settled, taking into consideration the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been put into effect or are
essentially in effect up until the balance sheet date. In the event where it is impossible to identify the timing of the reversal of
the temporary differences, the tax rate in effect on the day after the balance sheet date is used.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that there will be a future tax profit to be set against the temporary difference
that creates the deferred tax asset.
Deferred income tax is recognized for the temporary differences that result from investments in subsidiaries and associates,
except for the case where the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is possible that the
temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Most changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expense in the income statement. Onl y
changes in assets or liabilities that affect the temporary differences are recognized directly in the Equity of the Group, such as
the revaluation of property value that results in the relevant change in deferred tax assets or liabilities being charged against the
relevant Equity account.
2.18 Employee benefits
Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefits (except post-employment benefits) monetary and in kind are recognized as an expense when they
accrued. Any unpaid amount is booked as a liability, while in the case where the amount paid exceeds the amount of services
rendered, the company recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will
lead to a reduction of future payments or to reimbursement.
Benefits for employment termination
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee
accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group's liabilities for retirement benefits concern both defined
contribution plans and defined benefit plans. The accrued cost of defined contribution plans is recognized as an expense in the
period in question. Retirement plans adopted by the Group are funded partly through payments to insurance companies or state
social insurance funds.
7. Annual Financial Statements

Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1

December 2023
Defined contribution plan
According to the defined contributions scheme, the (legal or implied) obligation of the company is limited to the amount that it
has been agreed that it will contribute to the entity (i.e. pension fund) that manages the contributions and provides the ben efits.
Thus the amount of benefits the employee will receive depends on the amount the company will pay (or even the employee) and
from the paid investments of such contributions. The payable contribution from the company to a defined contribution scheme,
is either recognized as a liability after the deduction of the paid contribution, or as an expense.
Defined benefits plan
According to laws 2112/20 and 4093/2012 the Company pays to their personnel benefits for employment termination or
retirement. The benefits are related to, employment years, remuneration amount and whether the employment was terminated
or due to retirement. The maturity of the right to participate to these schemes, usually depends upon service years of the
employee till retirement.
The liability that is reported in the balance sheet with respect to this scheme is the present value of the liability for the defined
benefit less the fair value of the scheme’s assets (if there are such) and the changes that arise from any actuarial profi t or loss
and the service cost. The commitment of the defined benefit is calculated annually by an independent actuary with the use of
the projected unit credit method. For discounting 2023 the selected interest rate is related to the tendency of iBoxx AA Corporate
Overall 10+ EUR indices, consistent to IAS19 guidelines and suitable for long term provisions that consists of bonds corresponding
to the currency and the duration relative to employees’ benefits.
A defined contribution scheme, defines based on several parameters such as age, service years, remuneration amount, certain
obligations for defined benefits. The provisions relating to the period are included in personnel cost at company and Group P&L
statements and consist of current and past employment cost, the pertinent financial cost, the actuarial gain or loss as well as any
additional charges. Regarding not recognized actuarial gain or loss, amended IAS19 is adopted, that includes a series of
amendments regarding accounting treatment of defined benefits scheme, amongst other:
i. Recognition of proportional gains/losses in other comprehensive income and their permanent exclusion from the
income statement results,
ii. Non-recognition of expected returns on program investments in the income statement anymore, but recognition
of the related interest on the net obligation/(receivable) of the provision calculated based on the prepayment
interest used to discount the obligation of defined benefits,
iii. Recognition of pre-service costs in the income statement at the earliest of the modification date of the program or
when the related restructuring or termination is recognized,
iv. Other changes include new disclosures, such as quantitative sensitivity analysis.
2.19 Grants
The Group recognizes Government Grants that cumulatively satisfy the following criteria: a) There is reasonable certainty that
the company has complied or will comply to the conditions of the grant and b) it is probable that the amount of the grant will be
received. Government Grants are booked at fair value and are systematically recognized as revenues according to the principle
of matching the grants with the corresponding costs that they are subsidizing.
7. Annual Financial Statements
326
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
Government Grants that relate to assets are included in long-term liabilities as deferred income and are recognized systematically
and rationally as revenues over the useful life of the fixed asset.
2.20 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has present obligations (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, their
settlement through an outflow of resources is probable and the exact amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are reviewed during the date when each balance sheet is compiled so that they may reflect the present value of the
outflow that is expected to be required for the settlement of the obligation. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in th e
financial statements but are disclosed, except if the probability that there will be an outflow of resources that embody economic
benefits is very small. Contingent claims are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed provided that the inflow
of economic benefits is probable.
2.21 Recognition of income and expenses
Income: Income includes the fair value of goods and services sold, net of Value Added Tax, discounts and returns. Intercompany
revenue within the Group is eliminated completely. The recognition of revenue is done as follows:
Construction Projects Contracts: Construction contracts refer to the construction of assets or a group of affiliated assets
specifically for customers according to the terms provided for in the relevant contracts and whose execution usually lasts for a
period of over one fiscal year.
The expenses that refer to the contract are recognized when occur.
Revenue from construction contracts is recognized based on the stage of completion of the project on the reporting date of th e
Statement of Financial Position.
The completion stage is measured based on the contractual cost that has been realized up to the balance sheet date compared
to the total estimated construction cost of each project. When it is likely for the total contract cost to exceed the total income,
then the expected loss is directly recognized in the period’s results as an expense.
For the calculation of the cost realized until the end of the period, any expenses related to future activities regarding the contract
are excluded and appear as a project under construction. The total cost that was realized and the profit/loss that was recognized
for each contract is compared with the progressive invoices until the end of the period.
When the realized expenses plus the net profit (less the losses) that have been recognized, exceed the progressive invoices, the
difference appears as a receivable from construction contract customers in the account “Customers and other receivables”. Whe n
the progressive invoices exceed the realized expenses plus the net profit (less the losses) that have been recognized, the balance
appears as a liability towards construction contract customers in the account “Suppliers and other liabilities”.
In cases where initial estimates may change, revenue, costs and / or completion rates are revised. These revisions may lead t o
increases or decreases in estimated earnings or costs and are presented in the results of the period in which the reasons for the
revision are disclosed by the Management.
Sale of goods: Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts
receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of the Group's operations, net of discounts, VAT and other

taxes related to sales. The Group recognizes in the income statement the sale of the goods at the moment when the benefits an d
risks associated with the ownership of those goods are transferred to the client.
Provision of services: Income from the provision of services is accounted for in the period during which the services are rendered,
based on the stage of completion of the service in relation to the total services to be rendered.
Electric energy:
Revenue from electricity generation: Electricity sales are recognized on the date when the relevant risks are transferred to the
buyer, namely, according to the monthly electricity production provided to the Greek network and confirmed by the Energy
Exchange Group and DAPEEP (Operators of the Electricity Market) and ADMIE (Independent Power Transmission Operator).
Revenue also includes ancillary services received from ADMIE.
Revenue from cross-border trade: Revenues from the sale of electricity to the domestic and foreign markets are based on the
monthly measurements of the System Operators, Energy Exchange Group (Greece) and the managers of other countries, which
are announced to the Group. These monthly measurements include the total of imported and exported quantities sold to
domestic and foreign markets. For these quantities sold, the Group issues the corresponding invoices every month.
Revenue from retail electricity sales: Revenues from electricity sales in the retail market are recognized during the period in
which electricity is provided to customers and is measured on a monthly basis, according to the ADMIE and HEDNO
measurements for medium voltage customers and with estimates based on the historical consumption that HELLENIC
ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OPERATOR S.A. (HEDNO) announces for low voltage customers. Based on these
measurements provided by ADMIE and HEDNO projections containing unit consumption and in conjunction with the contractual
terms, each customer receives a monthly bill per meter. For low-voltage customers, the bills are up to HEDNO to send the actual
consumption of the period, and then a clearing account is issued.
Natural Gas:
Revenues from Natural Gas Trading: Revenues from the sale of natural gas to the domestic & foreign markets are based on the
monthly measurements of the System Operators, DESFA and Energy Exchange Group (Greece), and of the operators of other
countries, which are communicated to the Group. These monthly measurements include all imported and exported quantities
sold to domestic and foreign markets. For these quantities sold, the Group issues the corresponding invoices every month.
Revenues from Natural Gas Retail: Revenues from the sale of natural gas in retail are recognized during the period when natural
gas is supplied to customers and measured on a monthly basis, according to the measurements of DESFA for the circulation of
natural gas in the medium and low pressure networks and EDA of each region for the distribution of natural gas in the low
pressure networks. Based on these measurements provided by the operators, they contain the consumption per measurement
unit and combined with the contractual conditions, each customer receives a monthly bill per meter.
Income Interest: Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest rate. When there is
impairment of assets, their book value is reduced to their recoverable amount which is the present value of the expected future
cash flows discounted using the initial real interest rate. Interest is then booked using the same interest rate calculated on the
impaired (new book) value.

December 2023
Dividends: Dividends are accounted for as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.
Expenses: Expenses are recognized in the results on an accrued basis. The payments made for operating leases are transferred
to the results as an expense, during the time the lease is used. Interest expenses are recognized on an accrued basis.
2.22 Leases
Group company as Lessee: Leases are recognized in the statement of financial position as a right to use an asset and a lease
obligation, the date on which the leased fixed asset becomes available for use. Each rent is divided between the rental obligation
and interest, which is charged to the results throughout the lease, in order to obtain a fixed interest rate for the remainder of
the financial liability in each period.
The rights to use assets are initially measured at their cost, and then reduced by the amount of accumulated depreciation and
any impairment. The right to use is depreciated in the shortest period between the useful life of the component or its duration,
with the fixed method. The initial measurement of the rights of use of assets consists of:
i. The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
ii. Lease payments made on or before the commencement date, reduced by the amount of discounts or other incentives
offered,
iii. Initial costs, which are directly linked to the rent,
iv. Recovery costs.
Finally, they are adjusted to specific recalculations of the corresponding lease liability.
Lease liabilities are initially calculated at the present value of rents, which were not paid at the start of the lease. Discounted at
the imputed rate of the lease or, if this interest rate cannot be determined by the contract, with the differential lending rate.
(IBR). The differential lending rate is the cost that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the necessary capital in order to obtain
an item of similar value with the leased asset, in a similar economic environment and with similar terms and assumptions.
Lease liabilities include net present value of:
i. Fixed leases (including any in-substance fixed leases)
ii. Variable leases, depending on the rate
iii. Residual value expected to be paid
iv. The price of an option to purchase the underlying asset, if the lessor is almost certain to exercise it
v. Penalties for termination of a lease if the lessor chooses this option.
After their initial measurement, the lease obligations are increased by their financial cost and are reduced by the payment o f
rents. Finally, they are reassessed when there is a change: a) to rents due to a change of index, b) to the estimation of the amount
of residual value, which is expected to be paid, or c) to the assessment of a choice of purchase or extension, which is relatively
Certain that it will be exercised or a right of termination of the contract, which is relatively certain that it will not be practiced.
The group and the company during the transition made use of the following practical facilities provided by IFRS 16 for leases
classified as functional, in accordance with IAS 17:
i. Use of previously made assessments under applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 to determine whether a contract contains a lease,
or whether a contract is a lease on the date of initial application.
ii. Use of accounting treatment of operating leases for leases with a maturity of under 12 months from 1 January 2019.
7. Annual Financial Statements

December 2023
iii. Use of a single discount rate on a lease portfolio with similar characteristics.
iv. Excluding initial direct costs for measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
Group Company as lessor: When tangible assets are leased by leasing, the present value of rents is registered as a requirement.
The difference between the gross amount of the claim and the present value of the claim is recorded as deferred financial income.
The revenue from the lease is recognized in the usage results during the lease using the net investment method, which represents
a constant periodic return. The group and the company do not contract with the status of lessor.
2.23 Dividend distribution
The distribution of dividends to the shareholders of the parent company is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial
statements at the date on which the distribution is approved by the General Meeting of the shareholders.
2.24 Proforma figure “Operating Earnings before Financial & Investment results, Tax, Depreciation & Amortization” (Group
EBITDA)
Pro forma figures (EBITDA, EBITDA margin, free cash flow, net debt) are not defined by the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS). Thus, these figures are calculated and presented by the Group in a way that provides a more fair view of th e
financial performance of its Business Sectors. The Group defines “Group EBITDA” as the Operating earnings before any interest
income and expenses, investment results, depreciation, amortization and before the effects of any special factors. “Group
EBITDA” is an important indicator used by Mytilineos Group to manage the Group’s operating activities and to measure the
performance of the individual segments.
The special factors that affect the Group’s net profit / (losses) and EBITDA are the following:
a) the share in the EBITDA of associates when these are active in one of the Group’s reported Business Sectors and.
b) the effects of eliminations of any profit or loss from asset construction transactions of the Group with the associates.
It is noted that the Group financial statements, prepared according to IAS 1 and IAS 28, include the Group’s profit realized in
connection with the construction of fixed assets on account of subsidiaries and associates, when these are active in one of its
reported Business Segments. Such profits are deducted from the Group’s equity and fixed assets and released in the Group
accounts over the same period as depreciation is charged. Consequently, for the calculation of EBITDA (operational results before
depreciation), the Group does not eliminate the profit from the construction of fixed assets as its recovery through their use wil l
effect only the profit after depreciation.
The Group states that the calculation of “Group EBITDA” may differ from the calculation method used by other
companies/groups. However, “Group EBITDA” is calculated with consistency in each financial reporting period and any other
financial analysis presented by the Group. Specifically financial results contain interest income/expense, while investment results
contain gains/loss of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, share of results in associates companies and gains/losses
from the disposal of financial assets (such as subsidiaries and associates).
2.25 CO

CO

emissions are recognized according to the net liability approach through which, the Group recognizes liabilities from CO

emissions when the actual emissions exceed the distributed emission rights from E.U. The liability is measured at fair value to

st

the extent that the Group has the obligation of covering the deficit through the market. Emission rights acquired over the required
quantities for covering the deficit are recognized as intangible assets at cost.
2.26 Hedging Accounting
The Group uses Derivative financial instruments such as Commodity Futures and Currency Forwards in order to mitigate the risk
related to its business activities along with the risk related to the funding of such activities.
At inception of the hedging transaction, the Group validates the hedging relationship between the underlying and the hedging
instrument as far as its risk management strategy is concerned. The Group also verifies the hedging efficiency from the beginning
of the hedging relationship and on a continuing basis.
All derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value as at the date of settlement and are valued on a mark - to
- market basis on each balance sheet date. The result of this valuation is recognized as an asset when positive and as a liability
when negative.
When a derivative financial instrument is no longer regarded as hedging instrument any difference in its fair value is recognized
in profit and loss.
There are three kinds of hedges:
A. Fair Value Hedging
Fair value hedging is regarded when hedging the exposure in the fluctuations of the fair value of a recognized asset, liability,
contingent liability or part of them that could have a negative impact on results.
When hedging accounting, concerning fair value hedge, is followed then any profit or loss from revaluation is recognized in profit
and loss. For non-derivative hedging instruments used to hedge foreign currency risk, only the foreign currency item in its book
value will be recognized in profit or loss - the entire instrument needs to be re-measured. The gain or loss on the hedged item
attributable to the hedged risk should be recognized directly in the income statement to offset the change in the carrying amount
of the hedging instrument. This applies to items recognized at cost and available-for-sale financial assets. Any compensation
ineffectiveness is recognized directly in the income statement.
Β. Cash Flow Hedging
The Group enters into Cash Flow Hedging transactions in order to cover the risks that cause fluctuations in its cash flows an d
arise either from an asset or a liability or a forecasted transaction and the change will affect the results. Examples of Group cash
flow hedges include future foreign currency transactions subject to exchange rate changes as well as future sales of aluminum
subject to changes in selling prices. Changes in the carrying amount of the effective part of the hedging instrument are recognized
in Equity as "Reserve" while the ineffective portion is recognized in the Income Statement. The amounts accrued in equity are
transferred to the income statement in the periods in which the hedged items are recognized in the income statement as in a
prospective sale. When a hedging instrument has expired, sold, settled or does not qualify for hedging accounting all accumulated
profit or loss recognized in Equity, stays in Equity until the final settlement of the underlying. If the underlying is not expected to
be settled then any profit or loss recognized in Equity is transferred to profit and loss account.
C. Hedging of a Net Investment
Hedging of a foreign investment is regarded for accounting purposes in a way similar to cash flow hedging.
7. Annual Financial Statements
331
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
The effective part of the hedging result is recognized directly in Equity while any ineffective part is recognized in profit and loss.
Accumulated profit or loss recognized in Equity is transferred in profit and loss account at the time of disposal of the investment.
2.27 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent with the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each accounting period, excluding the average of ordinary shares acquired
as treasury shares.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the accounting period and for all the periods presented is
adjusted for events that have altered the number of ordinary shares in circulation without a corresponding change in resources.
2.28 Share-based payments
The Company has implemented share-based payments for its employees and executives. In particular, under the effective
agreements, the Company’s employees and executives are granted the option to receive equity securities (shares) of the parent
company, given that certain conditions of vesting have been met. None of the existing equity-based payment agreement plans
are settled in cash.
Services received in return for equity-based payments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the services of executives and
employees, at the date when the stock option is granted, is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 as an expense in the income
statement, with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the services, for which the options are granted,
are received.
Total expenses of the options during the vesting period are calculated based on the fair value of the options provided at the
granting date. The expenses are allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of stoc k
options expected to be vested. The fair value of the options is measured by adopting an appropriate valuation model to reflect
the number of options for which the performance conditions of the plan are expected to be met.
Estimates of the number of option’s expected to be exercised are revised if there is an indication that the number of stock o ptions,
expected to be vested, differs from previous estimates. Any adjustment to the cumulative share-based compensation arising
from the revision is recognized within the current period.
The number of vested options, finally exercised by the company’s employees and executives does not affect the expenses
recorded within the period.

Bauxite Mining
Zinc & Lead Metallurgy
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, management generally follows the Group's service lines, which represent the
main products and services provided by the Group, in identifying its operating segments.
Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines requires different technologies and other
resources as well as marketing approaches. The Group’s service lines that do not fulfil the quantitative and qualitative thre sholds
of IFRS 8, in order to be considered as separate segments, are presented cumulatively under the category “Others” and they
mainly concern the support function of the Group’s business segments.

In every reporting period, the Group tests the carrying amounts of non-financial assets for indications of impairment. If such
indications are identified, the recoverable amount of the assets is determined.
For the impairment test purposes, the Group categorizes the assets into separate CGUs. The recoverable amount for the separat e
CGU is determined based on the value in use, calculated applying the discounted cash flows method. In determining the value i n
use, the Management uses assumptions it considers appropriate that are based on the consensus of the assessments carried out
by international rating agencies and analysts, as well as the best possible information available to it and valid on the financial
statements reporting date. As at 31.12.2023 the impairment test disclosed no indications of impairments of property, plant and
equipment.
Depreciation charged in profit and loss is analyzed in notes 3.22 and 3.23.

Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1

January to the 31
st
December 2023
The recoverable amount of the recognized goodwill, related with the separate CGU’s, was assessed using value in use and
calculated using the DCF method. The “value in use” was determined based on management’s assumptions, which management
deems reasonable and are based on estimates from international rating agencies on Financial Statement’s issue date. No need
for impairment arose from impairment tests.
3.4.3 Assumptions used in calculation of Value in Use
The Group for determining the recoverable value of each CGU calculates the value-in-use through the present value method of
estimated future cash flows. The main assumptions used by the Group to determine the estimated future cash flows are as
follows:
Market price assumptions:
i. Mineral prices on the LME
ii. Exchange rate of major currencies (€/$, €/GBP, etc.)
iii. CO
2
prices
iv. Gas and electricity prices
Operating assumptions:
i. Prices of basic raw materials and equipment
ii. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for production facilities
iii. Project milestones and corresponding completion rates
iv. Cost and time of major maintenance for production facilities
v. Capacity factor, total demand and system load
Business plan per CGU:
Business plans are prepared based on a maximum period of 5 years. Cash flows beyond the 5-year period are extrapolated
using growth rate estimates of 1% (31.12.2022 1%) as listed below:
i. Business plans are based on recently prepared budgets and estimates
ii. Business plans use operating profit margins and EBITDA, as well as future estimates using reasonable assumptions
iii. Regarding energy sector projects, these plans extend for a period equal to the duration of the relevant license
iv. Concerning EPC projects and infrastructure projects, the total completion and repayment cycle of the projects are
defined up to 10 years.
v. Finally, for projects executed in the form of BOT (build operate transfer) in the energy sector, particularly in the
M Renewables sub-sector, the forecasts are based on the portfolio of projects under review and already passed
or expected to pass through the Group's Investment Evaluation Committee (Capital Allocation Committee).
Calculations for determining the recoverable value of operational segments were based on business plans approved by
management, which have included necessary revisions to reflect the current economic conditions and reflect previous
experience, industry forecasts, and other available information from external sources. The Group analyzed the sensitivity of
recoverable amounts per operational sector regarding a 0,5% change in the basic assumption of the growth rate. From the
relevant analyses, it does not emerge that any impairment loss may arise.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC):
The WACC method reflects the discount rate of future cash flows for each CGU, according to which the cost of equity and the
cost of long-term debt and any grants are weighted, in order to calculate the cost of capital of the company. Since all cash flows
of the business plans are denominated in euro, the yield of ten-year German government bond was used as the risk-free rate.
Assumptions of independent sources were taken into account for the calculation of the risk premium. Betas are evaluated
annually based on published market data. The Company’s WACC was estimated at 7,04%.
The Group analyzed the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts per CGU through change in a percentage point of 0,5% in the
discount rate. From the relevant analysis there is no amount of impairment
Apart from the above considerations concerning the determination of the value in use of CGUs, no other changes that may affec t
the rest of the assumptions have come to the Management’s attention.

Annual Financial Report for the period

January to the 31
st
December 2023
Deferred tax assets from tax losses amounting to €8,09m., are computed on tax losses of the current year as well as on those of
previous year’s carried forward. The major contribution on the calculated deferred tax asset derives from the following
subsidiaries and branch: METKA-EGN CHILE SPA (€2,2m.), Mytilineos S.A. Algeria Branch (€0,43m.), METKA EGN ITALY S.R.L.
(€0,2m.), METKA EGN KZ LLP (€0,57m.), METKA EGN SPAIN SLU (€0,51m.), METKA EGN GENERAL CONTRACTORS LTD (€0,38m.)
MYTILINEOS ENERGY TRADING CHILE SPA (€0,17m.), MYTILINEOS INTERNATIONAL TRADING COMPANY AG (€0,13m.), METKA
EGN ROMANIA (€0,1m.) SOMETRA S.A. (€0,28m.), ΕGNATIA WIND Μ.Α.Ε (€0,55m.), ΕGNATIA ΕΚ.Α. Μ.Α.Ε. (€0,20m.),
ΜAKRYNOROS S.A. (€0,69m.), PROTERGIA THERMOILEKTRIKI S.A. (€0,22m.), ZEOLOGIC Α.Ε.Β.Ε. (€0,13m.). As regards the
companies where a deferred claim for tax losses has been calculated, there is a significant possibility, based on the future planning
and development prospects of the Group, that the taxable profits which will arise, will be realized until the period, during which,
the possibility of offsetting tax losses exists. As of 31.12.2023, there are unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has

The Group hedge its exposure to exchange rate risk by using forward contracts and options, "locking in" exchange rates that
ensure liquidity and profit margins.
Subsequently, the Group hedge its exposure to commodity risk by using future contracts to hedge fluctuations in the price of
metal and electricity, and future contracts for metal prices, which hedge changes in fair value of commodities, as well as
commodity swap contracts to hedge changes in the price of metal, natural gas, and oil, which hedge the risk of changes in cash
flows.

Reserves for allocation of free shares to directors
As of December 31, 2023, the Group had in place two share-based payment plans, approved by the GMS on 15.06.2021.
A) The first three-year program was completed within 2023. It involved free distribution of up to 700.000 treasury shares
and be settled in equity. The terms of the plan pertained to the achievement of corporate and personal goals for executive
members of the Board of Directors (excluding the Chairman and CEO) of the Company and/or members of the Executive
Committee – the Company’s senior executives.
B) The second plan is of five-year maturity and involves distribution of up to 2.750.000 treasury shares and will be settled
in equity. The terms of the plan, defined by the Board of Directors on 21.12.2021, as well appointed the beneficiaries and
determined the terms of exercise and maturity, and the shares to be distributed to the beneficiaries of the plan.
The plan is rolling and consists of 5 phases:
i. The first phase has a vesting period from 2021 to 2023 and a period of exercise from 2024 to 2026.
ii. The second phase has a vesting period from 2022 to 2024 and a period of exercise from 2025 to 2027.
iii. The third phase has a vesting period from 2023 to 2025 and a period of exercise from 2026 to 2028.
iv. The fourth phase has a vesting period from 2024 to 2026 and a period of exercise from 2027 to 2029.
v. The fifth phase has a vesting period from 2025 to 2027 and a period of exercise from 2028 to 2030.
The vesting conditions defined by the 21.12.2021 decision of the Board of Directors concern Market conditions and Non-market
conditions. In particular:
Upon establishing that the objectives have been achieved, the procedure for providing or not providing the shares per Beneficiary
is activated. This is determined according to the individual performance criteria over time, during the 3 years of the vesting
period, the achievement of which should be equal to or greater than 85%. The individual performance criteria are determined
through the performance management process and take into account the overall achievement over a three-year period.
For each phase, the performance is defined during the 3rd year. Based on this, the shares are allocated to the executives in parts
during the exercise period of each phase (3rd year of the program 30%, 4th year of the program 30%, 5th year of the program
40%), provided that on December 31, when the vesting period of each phase ends, the Beneficiary is still working or providing

Mytilineos S.A..
The fair values of the rights granted for the long-term free share distribution program were determined using the Monte Carlo
simulation, taking into account the vesting conditions set in accordance with the 22.12.2021 decision of the Board of Directors.
Specifically, the plan includes vesting conditions related to market conditions and non-market conditions. In light of this, the
future movement of the share price on a monthly basis until the end of the program was simulated, taking into account the
current value per share, the standard deviation, the dividend yield and the risk-free rate. The market condition associated with
the plan is incorporated into the measurement through stochastic modeling of the movement of the values of the underlying
securities. More specifically, the following input data are used in the model:
i. The price of the share which on the date of acceptance of the free shares plan amounted to 20,30 euros.
ii. The exercise price (0,00 euro/ free disposal).
iii. The discount rate or risk-free yield (2,19%).
iv. The average dividend yield of the stock (3,68%).
v. The average monthly performance of the share price which amounted to 0,98% and The average monthly performance
of the share price which amounted to 0,98% and the monthly volatility of the share price which amounted to 11,70%.
vi. The price of the FTSE/ATHEX Large Capitalization Index, excluding banks, which on the date of acceptance of the free
shares plan amounted to 333,25 euros (Source: Bloomberg).
vii. The average monthly return and monthly volatility of the FTSE/ATHEX Large Capitalization Index, excluding banks, was
0,65% and 9,60% respectively (Source: Bloomberg).
viii. The Correlation between the share price and the price of the Athens Stock Exchange Large Capitalization Index (excluding
banks) which was calculated at 0,74.
Based on the above, the fair value of the rights was determined in a price range from €16,71 to €31,09, with a weighted avera ge
price of €23,30.

Regarding the changes in the exchange rates in the years 2023 and 2022 and their effects on the results, detailed explanations
are provided in the Report of the Board of Directors.
The category of "Other" is primarily analyzed as follows: In 2023, the Company, specifically the M Power Projects subsegment,
negotiated the settlement of contracts with suppliers for projects that were completed. This resulted in affecting the Company's
other operating income as its obligations to suppliers decreased. As a result of the aforementioned settlements for the year 2023,
the Company recognized €49,8 million in its income statement under the category of other income. Additionally, the
"Compensation" category in the Group arises from the M Renewables sub-segment, where €14.9 million has been recognized
under other income as compensation from a favorable outcome of a legal dispute with a supplier following the settlement of th e
most significant legal expenses.

Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions where the Group operates. The legislation
will be effective for the Group’s financial year beginning 1 January 2024. Since the Pillar Two legislation was not effective at the
reporting date, the group has no related current tax exposure. The group applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing
information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12
issued in May 2023.
Under the legislation, the group is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between its GloBE effective tax rate per jurisdiction
and the 15% minimum rate. All entities within the group have an effective tax rate that exceeds 15%, however, there are a limited
number of jurisdictions where the transitional safe harbor relief does not apply and the Pillar Two effective tax rate is close to
15%. The Group does not expect material exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in those jurisdictions.

3.30 Discontinued Operations
The Group, since 2009, applies IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations”, and presents separately the
assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company SOMETRA S.A., following the suspension of the production activity of the Zinc-
Lead production plant in Romania, and presents also the amounts recognized in the income statement separately from continuing
operations. Given the global economic recession, there were no feasible scenarios for the alternative utilization of the
aforementioned financial assets.
From 2011 and on, by applying par. 13 of IFRS 5 “Non-current assets Held for Sale”, the Zinc-Lead production ceases to be an
asset held for sale and is considered as an asset to be abandoned. The assets of the disposal group to be abandoned are presented
within the continuing operations while the results as discontinued operations.
In December 2015, SOMETRA S.A., contributed the Zinc-Lead activity, through a spin – off process, to its newly established
subsidiary Reycom Recycling S.A. (REYCOM). The said spin - off is part of the "Mytilineos Group" restructuring process, regarding
the Zinc-Lead discontinued operation, targeting on the production of Zn & Pb oxides through the development of a recycling
operation of metallurgical residues.
The Company and the Group have already planned investments that will bring financial results and cash flow in the future. Som e
of the investments have already been approved and others are in the research and techno-economic study phase. Specifically, a
20MW photovoltaic park within Sometra's facilities is under licensing. Completion of construction is expected in mid-2025 and
will generate cash flow.
Also, the possibility of recycling metallurgical residues in order to produce zinc oxides (Zn), Lead (Pb) and other metals using new
metallurgical methods is being investigated. The R&D and economic study for this activity is expected to be completed in th e
first quarter of 2025. In case of positive results, the Group will proceed with a significant investment in a new metallurgical
process residues recycling unit, which, if implemented, is expected to operate in 2027, and bring significant financial results to
the Group. As of 2023, the activity has been transferred to continued operations and the items in the consolidated Total Inco me
Statement for the comparative period ended 31.12.2022 have been restated in order to reflect its elements in continuing
activities.

Financial Risks
The following section provides an analysis of principal financial risks:
Commodities
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not plan or manage
unfavorable fluctuations in the price of
commodities leading to financial loss.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS operates in global markets and is exposed to commodity
price fluctuations that are market driven and determined by demand
and supply dynamics, economic growth, inventory balances,
speculative positions, regulatory affairs, government policies, etc.
Potential failure to plan or manage unfavorable fluctuations in
commodity prices could adversely impact MYTILINEOS’ future financial
performance.
More specifically, through its business activities, MYTILINEOS is mainly
exposed to risks arising from price fluctuations in Aluminium (AL),
Aluminium Oxide (OX) and raw materials, in natural gas, as well as in
CO2 emission allowances and scrap aluminium.
This type of exposure could negatively affect both revenues (e.g., metal
prices at LME) and costs (e.g., natural gas prices).
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS maintains a diverse portfolio of commodities, assets,
liabilities, and currencies across several geographies as well as a varied
portfolio of customers and contracts that ensures resilience and future
profitability since the organization is less exposed to adverse
developments in a single market.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS continuously monitors, through various
channels, the current and anticipated developments in the commodity
markets that could potentially create the need to adapt the
organization’s overall commodities’ management.
MYTILINEOS aims to manage the effects commodity price fluctuations
could have on its revenues and costs through hedging activities using
various financial instruments. More specifically, the Treasury & IR
General Division hedges commodity price fluctuations based on annual
budget forecasts as well as management’s decisions and objectives.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS ensures that hedging activities are conducted
properly through Financial Risk Management processes that outline
appropriate approval flows, communication lines, open position
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
We are exposed to the volatility of specific
commodities and important raw materials and
services prices (e.g. Aluminium, Alumina, Natural
gas), which are influenced by external factors such
as global economic conditions, supply and
demand. We are willing to accept medium levels
of Commodities Risk ensuring that this risk is
efficiently and effectively managed implementing
proactive measures such as hedging.
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of defined policies to provide guidance
for handling commodities prices.
2. Lack of monitoring activities to capture and
manage unfavorable market, regulation, and
country changes/events that may affect the
volatility of commodities prices.

monitoring activities, reconciliation activities and counterparty limits’
management.
In addition, the Treasury & IR General Division performs a set of stress
scenarios (baseline & adverse) to hedging portfolio to assess and
communicate the effect where a potential adverse price movement
may trigger margin calls, thus creating liquidity ris k.
Finally, the Treasury & IR General Division presents monthly, new
developments in commodity markets, potential price evolutions based
on forecasts and analyses from major market institutions, new hedging
strategies and a summary of current open positions to MYTILINEOS’
Financial Committee.
Credit
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not manage effectively
credit incidents (e.g., default of counterparties,
credit rating downgrade, adverse credit market
conditions).
D. Risk Analysis:
Credit Risk entails the potential failure to effectively manage credit
incidents arising from the company’s business and financial market
transactions. In more detail, credit incidents and credit exposure may
arise from the sale activities of the Energy and Metallurgy Sectors and
the subsidiaries, the trading transactions in derivatives and other
financial transactions such as deposits, loans etc.
MYTILINEOS is exposed to credit risk through the possibility of a
counterparty default, a credit rating downgrade and/or an adverse
credit environment in general. As a result, credit risk related to non-
performance by customers, suppliers, and counterparties could
disrupt revenue and cash flows and increase the cost of collection,
settlement and replacement. Moreover, concentration on specific
counterparties, customer, suppliers or affiliated entities could have a
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
We are subject to events such as default of
customer, credit rating downgrade, adverse credit
market conditions. We are willing to accept
medium levels of Credit Risk, from engaging with
customers and counterparties established in
various countries, in pursuit of our strategic
objectives, having regard to our policies and
procedures and a variety of limits.
7. Annual Financial Statements
376
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of effective credit management and
collections policies and procedures.
2. Obsolete/ inadequate Information systems to
support the credit management process.
3. Lack of certain limits and criteria (e.g., credit
rating) regarding the exposure of the
organization on each counterparty.
significant impact on the company’s financials in the rise of a credit
incident, thus exposing itself to reputational and operational risks as
well as to financial risks through an increase to spreads, unfavorable
prepayment obligations, borrowing terms and cost of financing for
MYTILINEOS.
Furthermore, credit risk could be realized through an inability to
efficiently collect receivables that would cause significant bad debt
expense and/or excessive days receivables outstanding.
Finally, if any factors of credit risk were to materialize, MYTILINEOS’
financial condition, revenues and cashflows could be negatively
impacted.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS secures its access to sufficient debt funding sources and
builds strong relationships with lending institutions to meet future
obligations and manages effectively assets, liabilities and capital
requirements.
Furthermore, MYTILINEOS has Credit Risk policies and procedures in
place that guarantee transactions only with clients that are
characterized by appropriate creditworthiness. These policies are
accompanied by strict client selection criteria and by constan t
monitoring of the credit granted to them.
Moreover, Credit Risk is also managed/mitigated through credit
insurance policies with global insurance companies, receivables in
advance to a considerable degree, safeguarding claims by collateral
loans on customer reserves, receiving letters of guarantee and
quantitative and qualitative limits on cash reserves and cash
equivalents, derivatives, as well as other short term financial
products. Finally, MYTILINEOS monitors overdue amounts through
defined processes with clear roles and escalation protocols.

Interest Rates
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not plan for or manage
fluctuating interest rates leading to financial loss.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS faces interest rate risk arising from balance sheet
elements, such as liabilities (financing) and assets
(deposits/investments), as well as from project financing activities
and financial derivative transactions.
Moreover, macro developments and policy decisions at a regulatory
level (e.g., European Central Bank) may affect MYTILINEOS’s
exposure to interest rate risk.
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our appetite for Interest Rates Risk is medium. We
seek to ensure efficient and effective management
of interest rate exposure by implementing
monitoring tools and using various derivatives
instruments, taking into consideration
fluctuations in interest rates.
7. Annual Financial Statements
379
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of defined policies to provide guidance
for handling interest rate exposure.
2. Inability to identify timely optimal interest
rates in the marketplace, resulting in
unfavorable interest rate costs and returns to
the organization.
3. Exposure to rising interest rates.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS has established a policy for the management of interest
rate risk arising from the assets and liabilities in the company's
balance sheet. This policy includes a) concerning assets, MYTILINEOS
invests its cash mainly in short-term time deposits, so as to maintain
the necessary liquidity while achieving satisfactory return for its
shareholders b) concerning liabilities, MYTILINEOS structures its
funding portfolio in consideration of desired liabilities’ proportion
between fixed and variable interest rates, market conditions,
assessment of alternative interest rate risk profiles, and market
products characteristics (duration, type, etc.), and. This is achieved
either through direct borrowing at a fixed rate or through the
employment of interest rate derivatives.
Foreign exchange
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not manage foreign
exchange exposures, such as contracts in which
the cash inflow and the cash outflow are in
different currencies or unfavorable fluctuations in
the currency of another market, leading to
financial loss.
D. Risk Analysis:
MYTILINEOS is exposed to Foreign Exchange Risk, through its
business activities that expand in various countries.
Failure to manage foreign exchange exposure, such as contracts in
which the cash inflow and the cash outflow are in different
currencies or unfavorable fluctuations in the pricing currency of
certain markets vs the domestic one (EUR), could lead to financial
loss.
More specifically, MYTILINEOS’ foreign exchange exposure lies
mainly with US dollar and originates from commercial transactions
in foreign currency and from net investments in foreign entities,
therefore changes in foreign exchange rates could adversely impact
cash flows, costs, projects’ profitability and eventually shareholder
returns.
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
The organization is exposed to fluctuations in
exchange rates (mainly USD) during business
operations, including sales/purchases of
aluminum and alumina, EPC contracts, natural gas
purchases. Our appetite for Foreign Exchange Risk
is medium and where possible foreign exchange
exposure is hedged.
7. Annual Financial Statements
380
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Potential collapse of the currency in
countries where business is conducted will
expose the organization to loss.
2. Lack of technical knowledge and expertise to
manage Foreign Exchange Risk.
3. Lack of monitoring activities to capture and
manage unfavorable market, regulation, and
country changes/events that may affect the
volatility of foreign exchange rates.
4. Inability to identify foreign exchange
exposures derived from contracts where
Cash inflow and Cash outflow are in different
currencies.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS aims to manage the effects foreign exchange
exposures could have on its revenues and costs through hedging
activities, using various financial instruments. More specifically, the
Treasury & IR General Division performs foreign exchange hedging
for specific assets, liabilities or future commercial transactions
based on annual budget forecasts as well as management’s
decisions and objectives.
MYTILINEOS ensures that hedging activities are conducted properly
through Financial Risk Management processes that outline
appropriate approval flows, communication lines, open position
monitoring activities, reconciliation activities and counterparty
limits’ management. The Treasury & IR General Division presents
monthly new developments that may impact on the organization’s
foreign exchange exposure, new hedging strategies and a summary
of current open positions to MYTILINEOS’ Financial Committee.
Liquidity
Risk Trend
A. Definition:
The organization does not manage and monitor
cash flows leading to cash shortages and inability
to cover obligations and achieve strategic
objectives.
D. Risk Analysis:
Liquidity risk is related to MYTILINEOS’s need to finance its
operations, meet payment obligations, and borrow funds at an
acceptable cost to support the strategic transactions, and
investment programs. In more detail, the risk may arise from
various sources and activities within the business model of
MYTILINEOS, such as inadequate cash flow management, business
disruption, increase in operational costs, unplanned capital
expenditures, inadequate management of working capital,
B. Risk Appetite Statement:
Our appetite for Liquidity Risk is low. It is our policy
to ensure that a minimum level of cash is available
at any given time.
7. Annual Financial Statements
381
Annual Financial Report for the period
from the 1
st
January to the 31
st
December 2023
C. Main Root Causes / Factors:
1. Lack of defined policies to manage and
optimize assets, liabilities and cash flows.
2. Inability to maintain adequate cash flow and
liquidity position (including credit lines).
3. Inability to manage long-term financial
liabilities.
4. Lack of monitoring payments made on a daily
basis.
5. Absence of cash flow analysis, inaccuracies in
cash flow projections and/or unauthorized
cash inflow / outflow is not identified.
6. Inability to meet obligations against
borrowers / suppliers due to ineffective Cash
flow management.
inadequate monitoring of debt payments, ineffective collection
processes etc. The effect of liquidity risk in case it becomes material
may be multi-dimensional, such as inability to meet growing capital
expansion plans, breaching bank loan terms and covenants, failure
to procure critical material/resources, mandatory prepayments of
outstanding loans, reduction of available credit lines, inability to pay
wages, etc. In addition, liquidity risk may affect MYTILINEOS
evaluation by rating agencies and thus increase the cost of financing
its investment plans or limit MYTILINEOS access to Capital Markets
or alternative funding sources. On the other hand, the effective
management of liquidity risk is an integral part of potential: a)
improvement of net profitability through reduced interest expense,
b) implementation of MYTILINEOS business expansion initiatives
through the ability to secure financings with more competitive
terms (enhanced terms with financiers and suppliers), c)
improvement of the company’s credit standing & outlook from
credit rating agencies, etc. As a result, the relevant liquidity
requirements are the subject of continuous management through
the meticulous monitoring of outstanding debt, of any other long-
term financial liabilities and also of cash inflows and outflows.
E. Risk Treatment and Mitigation:
MYTILINEOS ensures that except from the operating cash flows
generated from the operations of the group, there is sufficient
liquidity comprising both from the cash and cash equivalents held,
as well as from available credit facilities covering potential short-
term business needs, and/or anticipated capital expenditure.
More specifically, MYTILINEOS implements a diversification
strategy in terms of funding sources, including bank lending, bond
issuance, and trade finance services, which are further diversified in
terms of duration and interest rates.
Moreover, the Treasury & IR and Finance General Divisions ensure
the timely monitoring and management of liquidity based on the
respective processes for developing, monitoring, updating, and
approving the Cash Plan, evaluating long-term loans, and managing
credit lines and terms. In addition, MYTILINEOS monitors specific
indicators and trends to measure and identify key areas of liquidity

risk such as debt maturity profile, cost of debt, trade receivables,
available credit lines, overall liquidity evolution etc.
Finally, during the monthly Financial Committee of MYTILINEOS,
any developments affecting the organization's liquidity are
presented in order to be analyzed and evaluated and respective
decisions for effective management of the liquidity risk are taken.

3.34 Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in
accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the
significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the
following levels:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to
the fair value measurement.

3.35 Capital Management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure the continuous smooth operation of its business activiti es
and the achievement of its growth plans combined with an acceptable credit rating. For the purpose of capital management, the
Group monitors the ratios “Net Debt to EBITDA”, “Net Debt to Equity” and “Net Interest Expenses”. As net debt, the Group
defines interest bearing borrowings minus cash and cash equivalents and as Net Interest expenses define the sum of interest and
related charges less the sum of credit interest and related income. The ratios are managed in such a way in order to ensure the
Group a credit rating compatible with its strategic growth.
The table below presents ratio results for the years 202 3 and 2022 respectively:
MYTILINEOS GRO UP 31.12.2023 31.12.2022 (Amounts i n thousand s €) Long-term debt 2.0 12.308 1.547.070 Lease liab ilities 173.687 54.775 Short-term debt 63.366 145.945 Current po rtion of non-curre nt debt 5 54.403 19.740 Current po rtion of lease liabilities 9.102 8.396 Cash and cash e quivalents (919.922) (1.059.875) Group Net debt 1.892.944 716.051 31.12.2023 31.12.2022 Oper.Earnings befo re income tax, fi nancial results, de preciation and a mortization 1.013.621 822.234 Equity 2.666.950 2.221.062 1,87 0,87 Group Net debt / O per.Earnings before inco me tax, financial re sults, depreciati on and amortizati on Group Net debt / Eq uity 0,71 0,32

It is noted that the above amount of guarantees issued by the parent on behalf of customers and suppliers of its subsidiaries,
refers to the maximum amount of the guarantee and the respective risk undertaken by the parent regardless of the probability
of realization of said risk.

entered in any transactions that were not in an arm’s length basis, and do not intent to participate in such transactions in the

The reduction in employee and pension benefits is due to the accounting treatment of the service contract between the Company
and the CEO, approved by the General Assembly from 7 June 2018 was accounted, which took place in the previous fiscal year.
The Company has implemented share-based payments for its employees and executives. In particular, under the effective
agreements, the Company’s employees and executives are granted the option to receive equity securities (shares) of the parent
company, given that certain conditions of vesting have been met.
None of the existing equity-based payment agreement plans are settled in cash.
Services received in return for equity-based payments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the services of executives and
employees, at the date when the stock option is granted, is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 as an expense in the income
statement, with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the services, for which the options are granted,
are received.
Total expenses of the options during the vesting period are calculated based on the fair value of the options provided at the
granting date. The expenses are allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of stoc k
options expected to be vested. The fair value of the options is measured by adopting an appropriate valuation model to reflect
the number of options for which the performance conditions of the plan are expected to be met.
Estimates of the number of option’s expected to be exercised are revised if there is an indication that the number of stock o ptions,
expected to be vested, differs from previous estimates. Any adjustment to the cumulative share-based compensation arising
from the revision is recognized within the current period.
The number of vested options, finally exercised by the company’s employees and executives does not affect the expenses
recorded within the period.
No loans have been given to members of the Board of Directors or other management members of the Group (and their families).

3.39.2 Other Contingent Assets & Liabilities
Extraordinary contribution of 6% for High Efficiency Cogeneration of Heat and Power plant
According to the informatory notes sent by the societe anonyme named Renewable Energy Sources Operator and Guarantees of
Origin (DAPEEP SA) on 01.02.2019 to the Company, an extraordinary contribution was imposed upon the total income of
electricity quantities injected to the transmission system from the High-Efficiency Cogeneration of Heat and Power (CHP) plant
of the of Metallurgy Business Unit.
From the interpretation of the relevant law provision (article 157 of law 4579/2020), taking also into consideration the
parliament’s explanatory memorandum, results, that legally, regulatory and economically- technically, it is correct and
reasonable to calculate this extraordinary contribution exclusively on the part of the income (turnover) of the dispatched
electricity quantities from the CHP plant which is paid by DAPEEP and concerns the special account for renewable energy sources
(ELAPE), and not for the part of the generated electricity, which relates to the wholesale electricity market and is invoiced to the
societe anonyme Hellenic Energy Exchange SA (HEnEx). The amount disputed by the Company amounts to €2.3 million.
The Company filed an appeal before the administrative courts against the Greek State and DAPEEP for the annulment of the
informatory note for the extraordinary contribution of article 157 of law 4759/2020. In addition, the Company intends refer also
to Greek civil courts in order to obtain a judiciary acknowledgement that DAPEEP, contrary to contract and the law, charged the
Company with the said contribution on the total income from the production of the CHP plant. The positive outcome of the abov e
cases is contemplated by the Company.
Dispute with the company IMERIS Bauxites (former ELMIN Bauxites)
Since 2017, the Company has been in dispute with IMERIS Bauxites (hereinafter IB) before the Hellenic Competition Commission
(HCC), following a Company’s complaint for abuse of a dominant position. The procedure before the Commission was completed
in June 2021, the final memoranda were submitted on 11.08.2021 and on 19.01.2023 the HCC issued decision No. 807/2023,
which was notified to the Company on 12.04.2023. The decision determines abuse of a dominant position, forbids such conduct
of IB in the future and imposes fine on IB. In parallel, a new complaint was filed by the Company in April 2021, the examination
of which is pending.
The commercial relationship between the two companies had been regulated since 2017 until the end of 2019, by temporary
agreements dictated by interventions and a decision on precautionary measures of the HCC. For the years 2020 and 2021 IB had
been invoicing the Company without an

agreement with the latter, and the Company disputed the above invoicing, as it considered that it did not correspond to a
reasonable and worthy price for the supply of such metallurgical bauxite. Consequently, the Company registered in its books a nd
paid for the delivered quantities at the price agreed under the latest contract, which coincided with that of a decision of
precautionary measures issued in the past by the HCC.
In May 2021, the Company filed a claim and application for interim measures before the civil courts, accompanied by a request
for an interim injunction ordering IB to monthly supply of the Company as a priority with a monthly quantity and at a reasonable
and fair price in the opinion of the Company. IB filed an application for revocation of the interim injunction issued in favor of the
Company, which was rejected. IB also filed a counterclaim in which it requested to be awarded the amount of €5.1 million, w hich
corresponds to the difference in the final prices for the supply of bauxite during the period from 01.01.2020 to 28.02.2021,
compared to the price paid by the Company to IB. A ruling on the application for injunctive measures was never issued, as the
Court of First Instance issued a ruling on the above claim and counterclaim, which partially accepted the Company's claim and
obliged IB to supply the Company, from the time of filing the claim and for a period of one (1) year, with bauxite of specifi c
quantity and at specific price. Accordingly, it accepted IB's claim and obliged the Company to pay to IB the amount of €5.1 million,
as per above. The Company paid the aforementioned amount with reservation and, same as IB, filed an appeal against the ruling.
The hearing of the appeals is set for 22/02/2024.
In parallel and in light of the HCC’s decision, the two companies entered into negotiations regarding the acquisition of IB b y the
Company, which were concluded with the execution of an agreement dated 04.09.2023 for the acquisition of IB, subject to prior
approval by the HCC. HCC granted its unreserved approval on 20.12.2023 and the final transfer of shares took place on
31.01.2024.
Upon completion of the acquisition, the parties resigned from all pending litigation procedures and waived relevant rights.
Petitions for annulment of Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE) decisions – CHP plant
The Company filed before the Council of State: (a) petition for annulment of RAE’s decision no. 80/2016 entitled “Management
of condensate heat during the calculation of cogeneration efficiency for the Approval of Special Operating Conditions of CHP
plant”; and (b) petition for annulment of RAE’s decision no 410/2016 entitled “Amendment of RAE’s decision no. 1599/201, with
which it was approved the Issue "Cash Specifications and Size Measurements at the request of the ministerial decision no Δ6 / Φ1
/ οικ.8786 / 06.05.2010 for the implementation of the System of Guarantees of Origin of the Electricity from RES and High
Efficiency CHP and its Ensuring Mechanism”.
The Company also filed before the Athens Administrative Court of Appeal a petition for annulment of RAE’s decision no. 334/2017
entitled “On the application of the societe anonyme ALUMINUM OF GREECE BEAE and the distinctive title "ΑΤΕ” for the revision
of RAE’s decision no. 569/2016”; (b) of RAE’s decision no. 569/2016 entitled "Efficiency Control and Determination of Special
Operating Conditions of the Distributed HE-CHP unit of the societe anonyme ALUMINUM OF GREECE BEAE (SA)”.
From the combination of the above decisions, the cogeneration efficiency of the CHP plant of the Metallurgy Business Unit is
negatively affected, as they change the calculation method for the amount of high efficiency electricity, including by subtracting
the thermal energy contained in returnable concentrate, when calculating the total efficiency of the unit, resulting in a reduction
in unit revenue.
The decisions of the Council of State were issued, according to which the Company’s petitions for annulment have been rejecte d.
On the contrary to the decision no. 1652/2022 of the Supreme Court of Justice, the Company’s application before the

Administrative Court of Appeal of Athens for the annulment of no. 334/2017 of the RAE decision was accepted and the above
decisions were deemed illegal and annulled. It is also noted that, on the one hand, the annulment decision has retroactive effect,
resulting in the administrative act being annulled to be considered as if it never existed, while on the other hand, even an appeal
against the decision has no effect of suspension.
In view of the above, the decision RAE 569/2016 is considered as if it never existed and the duty to comply with the decision No.
1652/2022 of the Administrative Court of Appeal of Athens mandates that the pricing of electricity for the period from 12.1.2017
onwards be corrected immediately, based on the decisions RAE 700/2012 and 341/2013 and according to the specific provisions
in the Appendix attached thereto. RAE filed an appeal against the above decision, the discussion of which has not yet been se t.

On 10 January 2024 – MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals reached financial close with lenders BNP
Paribas, Intesa San Paolo, Sumitomo Mitsubishi Banking Corporation, Rabobank and Santander Chile, on a 588 MWp non-
recourse solar portfolio. This portfolio was progressively acquired over 2020 and 2021 as part of MYTILINEOS’ strategic
investment into the Chilean market, one of the most promising solar power markets in the world, with abundant solar resource
and assertive decarbonization targets. The financing is structured with a construction & term facility of USD315m, VAT facility of
USD30m and USD32m of LC facilities. Once constructed, solar parks Willka, Doña Antonia, Tocopilla and Tamarico in Chile will
produce approximately 1.6 terrawatt-hour (TWh) of green electricity annually, representing a reduction of over 600 thousand
tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. The majority of the power produced by the four projects will be sold to Enel Chile
under perspective 10-year power purchase agreements. The projects will also be eligible to receive capacity payments from the
network coordinator. This is MYTILINEOS’ first project financing in Chile, and its fifth project financing of solar PV projec ts
internationally. The total capacity of MYTILINEOS’ international RES portfolio, which consists of projects in over 30 countries and
is dynamically expanding exceeds 13.8GW with the operational and mature pipeline reaching at 4.9GW while projects in early
and middle stage of development sum up to 9GW. MYTILINEOS has also energy storage projects at various stages of development
with a maximum injection power of 1.1GW. Milbank and Larrain acted as borrower counsels, White & Case and Garrigues as
lender counsels, G-Advisory as technical advisor, DNV as market advisor, Marsh as insurance advisor and KPMG as tax advisor
and model auditor.
On January 31, 2024 – Τhe motorway “Aktio – Amvrakia” officially opened to traffic, a project successfully completed by METKA
SA, a subsidiary of MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals. The Aktio-Amvrakia motorway has a total length of 49 km. It is part of the Greek
Trans-European Network A52 and directly connects the Ionian Road from Amvrakia highway to the Airport of Aktio and the
underwater tunnel of Aktio, as well as the Vonitsa-Lefkada motorway. The company undertook the project “Aktio – Amvrakia” in
2020. With to day’s latest delivery, METKA S.A. completes the project on time and with high quality standards. It was preceded
by the delivery of Amfilochia bypass section, 17,4km long in July 2022, 5 months earlier than the company’s contractual
obligation.
The project, albeit located within the prefecture of Aitoloakarnania, significantly benefits the wider geographical department
that includes the Aitoloakarnania – Lefkada – Preveza and Arta regions. Through the Aktio-Amvrakia motorway, the current
distance is reduced by 13 km, while the travel time to Lefkada and Preveza is reduced by 40 minutes, substantially contributing
to the further tourism development of the wider area. At the same time, the new modern highway is safer for residents and
visitors. In addition, the urban areas of Amfilochia and Vonitsa become safer and more humane since traffic will now be served
by the new highway significantly cutting down on exhaust emissions, noise and nuisance. The motorway consists of two lanes
per direction, of 3,50m wide each, one lane of guidance per direction, 0,50m wide and one central dividing islet. The project has
been implemented with the most modern technical specifications, innovative and special technical solutions. The following are
some indicative examples: The application of the method of vibratory replacement, the use of LED lighting fixtures in the street
lighting of the project to save energy, the use of modified asphalt to limit future maintenance needs and the shoring of drilled
trench slopes.
On 1 February 2024 – MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals following the announcements dated 05.09.2023 and 20.12.2023, hereby

ANONYME (IMERYS BAUXITES) and the change of the latter’s corporate name to “EUROPEAN BAUXITES”. This strategic move
broadens MYTILINEOS' portfolio and makes the company the largest bauxite producer in the European Union. The company
under its new name “EUROPEAN BAUXITES”, is now part of MYTILINEOS’ Metallurgy Sector (M Metals), together with
MYTILINEOS’ other 100% subsidiary, Delphi-Distomon.
On 5 February 2024 – MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals has obtained a Prospecting License from the Ghana Integrated Aluminium
Development Corporation (GIADEC) to explore and subsequently extract bauxite deposits in the Ninayhin – Mpasaaso region.
The signing ceremony took place in Accra on January 26
th
. Highlighting the successful Energy & Metals model and the synergies
resulting from it, MYTILINEOS seeks to implement a similar mode of operation in Ghana, already having an in-depth
understanding of the country's energy sector, through the execution of a multitude of energy projects. In the initial 18-month
implementation stage of the project, the company will conduct necessary studies to confirm reserves and develop mines.
Simultaneously, a comprehensive feasibility study will be conducted. The area containing the deposits under concession,
designated as Ninayhin Block C, is estimated to possess geological reserves of approximately 300 million tons of bauxite and is
anticipated to yield around 10 million tons of bauxite annually, equivalent to an estimated annual turnover of $500 million at
current market prices. MYTILINEOS, in collaboration with GIADEC, will assess the potential construction of an alumina production
unit, projecting an annual production capacity of up to 1.5 million tons. The current annual aluminum production in Agios
Nikolaos, Viotia, amounts to 865,000 tons. Through this concession, MYTILINEOS, as the sole vertically integrated company
producing bauxite, alumina, and cast aluminium in the European Union, remains committed to its strategy of ensuring diverse
supply sources globally and strengthening its position throughout the entire value chain of the aluminium industry. Bauxite has
been identified by the European Union as a strategic raw material critical for the digital and "green" transition, highlighting the
significance of this agreement in supporting global efforts against climate change. MYTILINEOS’ business model is anchored
around the creation of value for all stakeholders involved, committed to the highest international standards of ESG excellence.
In support of Ghana’s efforts to capitalize on its indigenous natural resources, MYTILINEOS aims to promote growth across all
aspects of economy and society by supporting local communities, engaging local sub-contractors, providing training programs
and creating over 1,500 quality new employment opportunities over time.
February 22, 2024 - MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals announces the establishment of a new production unit of advanced metal
constructions aiming to expand the range of manufactured products in order to exploit all possible synergies with MYTILINEOS’
existing unit in Nea Ionia, Volos.
Both units are part of MYTILINEOS’ Metals Sector.
The new unit will be built on a company-owned plot, recently purchased for this purpose in the 1st Industrial Zone of Volos.
This area was chosen as it already has excellent infrastructure, a railway connection to the port, and is fully covered by a natural
gas network. The building facilities located on the new plot cover an area of 10 acres and four production halls, while the plan
involves the construction of two additional production areas expected to cover eight acres with a lifting capacity of 20 tons.
Additionally, the area of the new unit is approximately 4 km away from Nea Ionia, Volos and the existing factory, which will allow
the creation of significant synergies in the operation of the two units.

For the new unit, the procurement of state-of-the-art mechanical equipment is planned, in order to be fully compatible with the
mechanical facilities of the factory in N. Ionia, to ensure the same quality result that distinguishes all MYTILINEOS' production
activities and the existing plant in Nea Ionia, in particular.
It is worth noting that this unit, under the Brand Name METKA-Volos, was established in 1963 with the aim of producing
lightweight metal constructions. Ever since, it has developed significant expertise in highly demanding metal applications and in
heavy and/or complex metal constructions with high-quality standards. Over the past two decades, it has been exporting 100%
of its production.
The investment cost has been budgeted at €60 million, while production is expected to commence in the second half of 2026.
Given the expansion of the Company's activities in Volos region, new jobs will arise, which should be filled by local staff. In
particular, with this investment, approximately 250 new employees will be required. Total workforce for both units in Volos i s
expected to reach the 600 employees overall.
On 5 March 2024 - MYTILINEOS has successfully completed the first fire and commissioning of the 2nd gas turbine of Tobruk
Project, powering the Libyan grid with another 171MW.
When completed, the Tobruk power plant will be able to provide more than 740MW. The first turbine was erected in August
2021 and commissioned by the end of the year, boosting the country's energy system with approx. 160 MW. The third turbine is
expected to be operational at the end of March and the last at the end of May 2024.
MYTILINEOS has undertaken the engineering, procurement, and construction of the 740 MW simple cycle power generation plant
in Tobruk with dual fuel capability (natural gas or liquid fuel). The scope of the project includes the supply and installation of 2
General Electric GT13E2 gas turbines and 2 Ansaldo AE94.2 gas turbines in an open cycle configuration, as well as all the relevant
auxiliary equipment. It is noted that the efficiency of the turbine in open cycle configuration can exceed 38%.

construction of LFO Tanks, a Fuel Oil Treatment Plant, a 220kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) and the relevant Gas Turbine
Buildings, under a 24-month schedule.
This project holds great importance not just for Libya's electricity provision but also for enhancing its energy self-sufficiency,
overall reconstruction initiatives, and the daily lives of its citizens.
In recent years, Libya has grappled with substantial power supply issues, characterized by prolonged blackouts that pose a
significant hindrance to the nation's economic advancement, energy security, and the well-being of its people.
The establishment of this power plant will promptly fortify the country's energy infrastructure, making it a pivotal undertaking
for Libya's revitalization.
On 20 March 2024 - Protergia powered by MYTILINEOS, Greece’s largest private energy company, continues to promote
