Future initiatives or developments: to be considered and including in forthcoming HSE plans at
Group level.
Among the common initiatives, the HSE function has decided to coordinate centrally the project to replace
the traditional lighting at factories with LED bulbs. This project will be launched during 2016, starting at the
factories designated as priority locations by the HSE function. As a consequence, electricity consumption will
be reduced together with the operating costs of the lighting installations. LED technology has, in fact, various
advantages over traditional lighting sources, such as energy saving, an average life that is 6 times longer
than traditional bulbs, easy maintenance and relatively rapid recovery of the initial investment.
With regard to Management Systems, the Prysmian Group plans to implement six new OHSAS 18001
certifications in 2016, as well as one ISO 14001 certification.
