W ith the Industry Charter,
promptly
and
other Europacable
member companies, the Association
representing the leading wire and cable
manufacturers in Europe launched a
campaign aimed at contrasting the
penetration into the European market of
low-quality, sub-standard cable products.
The purpose of Industry Charter is to
show that manufacturers belonging to
Europacable already achieved the highest
standards, as a guarantee of the top quality
of their products. Among Europacable

Industry Charter is a formal expression of
Europacable members’ acknowledgement
of the need to meet the demands of
business stakeholders, while at the same
time defending the interests of their
employees, their customers, the wider
community and the environment, with a
strong commitment not only to meeting
the basic requirements of the law, but also
about expecting to take a proactive role in

to exceed the minimum requirements.
The Charter is part of its policy aimed at
monitoring and reacting to the emerging
and changing EU legislation that affects
the industry, by raising awareness to the
risk of sub-standard products entering
the European markets. The answer to
industry’s question as to how to remain
competitive in the face of non-European
countries which, for instance, offer less
stringent regulations, is first of all to
convert risk into opportunity.
Europacable, the voice
of European wire
and cable industry in
Brussels, launched the
“Industry Charter”, a
statute expressing the
commitment to high-quality
products development and
manufacturing.
