2014 Sustainability Report
Prysmian Group
10
The Prysmian Group is committed to working
responsibly via a business model that identifies
sustainability as a key element of every decision.
The objective is to create value for all stakeholders while
assuring the sustainable development of the Group and the
territories in which we operate.
Consistent with the Corporate Vision, which seeks to promote
«the efficient, effective and sustainable supply of energy
and information as the a main driver for the development of
communities”, Prysmian has consolidated over the years its
commitment to sustainability, establishing ever more chal-
lenging objectives that open up new horizons for the Group.
Always seeking to satisfy continually the needs of Customers,
the daily activities of Prysmian stay true to our mission with
the development of high quality, sustainable products, by
investing in advanced technological solutions that enhance
the value of our product range.
Leadership in the supply of cables and systems for energy and
telecommunications influences the Group’s approach to sus-
tainability, guiding the growth strategy on such key matters
as sustainable, technological innovation in the solutions
offered, the environmental responsibility of production
processes, the management of relations with the local com-
munities in which the Group operates, and attention to safety
at work and the development of personnel. This focus results
in great efforts to improve our skills in the areas of Customer
Centricity, Research and Innovation, Environmental Sustain-
ability and Employee Development.
Once again, the Group made a fresh, concrete and ongoing
commitment in 2014 to promoting sustainability and devel-
oping important new initiatives that improve our ability to
create value for ourselves and for our stakeholders over the
medium-long term.
With this intention, a number of important initiatives and
activities were launched during the year, including: the
organisation of a Multi-Stakeholder Engagement event,
update of the Code of Ethics, development of a Code of
Business Conduct and a Diversity and Inclusion Policy, update
of the Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy Policy and the
planning of energy audits.
The Prysmian Group also works in sectors in which climate
change is considered one of themain challenges to be tackled.
The opportunities deriving from these challenges have
enabled the Group to offer innovative products to Customers,
integrating them into solutions that focus increasingly
on energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions.
