Μessage From The Chairman PPC S.A. plays a significant role in supporting development in Greece, and has a presence throughout the whole country. However, given the current economic crisis, PPC has to deal with complex financial, environmental and social challenges. One important development in 2011 was that the Company’s Transmission Division was spun off. Pursuant to Law 4001/2011, PPC S.A. transferred management, running, development and maintenance of the Hellenic Electricity Transmission System to its wholly owned subsidiary Company by the name of Independent Electricity Transmission Operator (ADMIE). In 2011 and 2012, despite the adverse economic environment at national level, we at PPC have continued our efforts to ensure the Sustainable Development of PPC in favour of the Local Communities in the regions where we are active and for the benefit of Society as a whole. The 2011 Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Report contains a detailed, transparent presentation of the initiatives that we have taken in order to accommodate the challenges in a responsible manner and pursue the achievement of our goals for a sustainable development. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements laid down in the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative’s international Corporate Responsibility standard. We applied best available technologies to energy savings systems, air pollutant reduction systems (in 2011 sulphur dioxide emissions were down by 31%), and encouraged more efficient waste management and water reuse, and we have reduced our carbon footprint by limiting travel and by using smart meters. We have also been supporting eco-protection programmes. As to the support we provide to the Society, we have implemented actions and programmes based on our needs and our priorities focusing on vulnerable social groups and the Local Communities in the regions where we are active. All our activities enhance the long-term development and economic prosperity of the neighboring areas, and involve the creation of jobs, the purchase of goods and services from local suppliers, and the implementation of infrastructure projects. Moreover, we continued to run the district heating schemes and provide offset benefits. 8 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT
ΜESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Our employees’ health and safety is very important and for this reason we have been investing in our people by organizing Health and Safety training seminars. We have been certifying our Power Generation Plants in accordance with the requirements of the OHSAS 18001 international standard. The Health and Safety Department also received certification in line with the ELOT ISO 9001:2008 standard. For 2012 and over the time to come we intend to remain focused on our goal, namely to build a resilient and competitive enterprise in terms of sustainability by applying absolute transparency principles and establishing trust between our employees, associates, and customers. As far as the immediate future is concerned, our priority remains to further reduce our environmental footprint through a diverse range of actions that will eventually promote renewable energy sources, the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and the application of Environmental Management Systems to all other power generation plants as well. At the same time we are pursuing the adoption of a more customer-centered approach and we are encouraging dialogue and accountability vis-a-vis our social partners. One of the many ways we are doing this is by publishing this Report. The current situation does not allow us to rest on our laurels. Over the months to come we will build on the foundations we have already laid, and will continue to work intensively to make continuous improvements, so that we can assist those in need. The greatest challenge that our Organization – and our Society by and large – need to deal with is to ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and for future generations. In that sense it is very important to put in place a long-term energy plan based on renewable energy sources and on the rational use of energy.
