Given the importance of the role played by
intellectual capital
and talent in achieving our profitability and value creation
objectives, Prysmian has made further efforts to facilitate
the growth of employees, by dedicating constant attention
to the enhancement of individuals within an international
working environment.
The Group has also made great strides in relation to the
local
communities
with which we come into contact. In the belief
that access to energy and telecommunications is a funda-
mental prerequisite for economic and social development,
Prysmian has decided to update the policy on action for the
benefit of communities by focusing it explicitly on helping
them access to these sources.
Our commitment to the
environment
is unchanged, with
the implementation of action designed to reduce the impact
of the Group’s activities. In particular, various factories took
steps during the year to reduce the consumption of energy,
the production of waste and the use of water, confirming
Prysmian’s strong drive to ensure practical implementation
of the sustainability initiatives that are advanced on a con-
tinuous basis.
