As Prysmian has embarked on the path towards
sustainability in recent years, 2014 saw the launch
of several projects which demonstrate the ongoing
commitment that has allowed it to achieve
signifcant results in this crucial feld.
Such a steadfast commitment to sustainability
is
refected
in
transparent,
structured
communications to all stakeholders through
the annual
Sustainability Report
, which gives
details oF the policy promoted by Prysmian
and its economic, environmental and social
performance. The 2014 report was prepared
in accordance with the new ‘Sustainability
Reporting Guidelines G4’, published by the
Global
Reporting
Initiative
(GRI)
in
2013,
re±ecting Prysmian’s ongoing commitment
to make the reporting process ever-more
complete and e²ective, by increasing the
breadth and depth of the topics covered.
The GRI Reporting ³ramework is a universally
accepted model for sustainability reporting,
which includes common practices for
di²erent types oF entities. It contains topics oF
a general nature, as well as industry-specifc
subjects, with the aim of communicating an
organisation’s sustainability perFormance.
The Sustainability Report has also been
audited by a recognised external frm to
provide all stakeholders with assurance
as to the reliability of the information
contained. The report constitutes a
complete account of how the Group
manages the economic, environmental,
and
social
impacts
deemed
of
importance for itself and its stakeholders
and its performance in these areas. In
keeping with past practice, Prysmian
is participating in the top international
assessments of sustainability for 2014,
namely the RobecoSAM Assessment
for the Dow Jones Sustainability Index
(DJSI) and the Carbon Disclosure
Project questionnaire.
