Linking Shareholder and Stakeholder Value

Although our ultimate goal is to serve our shareholders's interest, we also pay close attention to other stakeholders to create shared value.

Today it is becoming more and more important to investors that companies’ environmental and social performance, and not just financial results, also be outstanding. Therefore, apart from being committed to sustainable development, it is vitally important that we integrate sustainability principles into MOL’s business strategy and develop an action plan to ensure that happens. Results should be monitored and the maximum amount of information provided to potential investors and shareholders to support them in their decision-making and to demonstrate that MOL Group is a good choice, not only based on its financial success, but also on its environmental and social performance. Thus we strive to be perceived as an accessible and trustworthy company that conducts its operations by always taking the triple bottom line of sustainable development into account. Our Investor Relations team ensures fruitful dialogue with the financial markets to assure the reliability and transparency of our activities to our current and potential shareholders.

MOL as one of the top 15% best performing companies in terms of sustainability is the only central-east European company among those 2500 corporations analysed. The independent assessment reflects the three dimensions of sustainability: the long term economic, social and environmental performance. MOL scored outstanding values in all three aspects.

MOL was qualified for the “SAM Bronze Class” in the oil and gas producers segment together with such majors as Shell and BP. Since MOL achieved the biggest proportional improvement in its sustainability performance compared with last year, it became eligible for the “Sector Mover” title as well.

The fact that we are the only company from the region that became part of an elite group of world leading companies is the acknowledgement of our sustainability strategy introduced in 2006. This high achievement is a clear indication that our commitment towards sustainability is not just an idle word but it is deeply embedded in the everyday business practice of the MOL Group – said Mr. György Mosonyi, GCEO of the MOL Group.

The corporate sustainability assessment of SAM is a tool that highlights the probable risks and opportunities in light of the global sustainability trends. Business activities are evaluated by balancing the long term economic, social and environmental impacts. The Yearbook contains the best companies of 58 different industry sectors.
