Sustainability

Sustain, to lead

Sustain, to Lead sums up Prysmian's sustainability strategy. It is the belief that shapes our goals and guides our vision. The sustainability strategy is based upon four pillars, each of which contributes to the creation of added value for the benefit of the Group and all its stakeholders:

  • ENVIRONMENT

    Our primary goal is to act proactively as pioneers in our Group’s decarbonisation processes, promoting emission reduction actions throughout the value chain and developing solutions, the positive impact of which extends beyond the boundaries of our business.

  • PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES

    People are at the core of our activities. We are committed to implementing pro-employee policies, recognising merit, promoting the values of diversity and inclusion, ensuring work-life balance and benefitting the social communities within which we operate.

  • GOVERNANCE

    The centrality of sustainability in our strategy is also evident from the definition of specific governance, which has the task of presiding over all Group initiatives in a structured and rigorous manner, ensuring the transparency, accountability and alignment of the  interests of the Group’s stakeholders, towards the achievement of the ESG objectives.

  • INNOVATION

    Innovation is a strategic pillar that has characterised us since our origins, and it affects all dimensions of the company: from the development of new products, considering their added value in terms of sustainability, to decarbonisation and social impact initiatives.

“Every decision and measure we take is guided by our commitment to steering the market toward sustainable development, which is the sole viable path. Sustainability is not only our approach to business management but a duty we owe future generations. We want to be a global player with a key role in the decarbonisation process and we intend to do so by promoting sustainable growth for people and the planet.”
