(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) September 1, 2010 -  The Hellenic Petroleum Group invites stakeholders to a review of its corporate social responsibility activities for the year 2009. 

The report, entitled “Sustainability Report 2009” is the fifth of the Group’s annual publications produced since 2005. The report is available at http://www.reportalert.info/ra/profiles/HellenicPetrol/2010/?ID=32952

For the development of this report, the Group took under consideration the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Company’s continuous commitment to the application and dissemination of the principles of the United Nations’ Global Compact (UNGC).

The Hellenic Petroleum Group continues the systematic application of international indices and best practices, wherever they can be applied, in order to facilitate the evaluation and the comparison of the content. An independent third party auditor evaluated the report’s methodology and the indices coverage, as in the previous year. In this context, the reader will understand that the Social Responsibility and the Group’s development strategy constitute two close coupled - and not competitive – meanings, that create value for all stakeholders.

The Sustainability Report 2009 presents and communicates the broad environmental and social activities of the Group and at the same time makes widely known the Hellenic Petroleum Group’s sustainable development vision.
