Human Rights in Prysmian Group

The Group Human Rights Policy applies to Prysmian Group's physical and legal boundaries in terms of business activities and operations carried out by the workers of Prysmian S.p.A. and its subsidiaries. The Policy also applies for those workers who are independent contractors working in Prysmian Group venues and plants.

In addition, the Group encourages all suppliers it works with to adopt the Policy as expressed in Prysmian Group's Code of Business Conduct.

We seek ways to honor the principles of internationally recognized human rights, even when faced with conflicting requirements.
We aim to ensure that we are not, directly or indirectly, in any way complicit in human rights abuses.
