(1) The information for the power cables category includes the Telecom, Energy and Accessories operating units at the Oulu factory
(available information relates to each factory as a whole). The quantities produced in relation to such information have been
normalised, so the telecom cables produced by the above operating units are identified in weight terms (rather than in km, as in the
"telecom cables" category).
(2) Hazardous and non-hazardous waste: the information for the power cables category includes combined data for the Telecom and
Energy operating units at the Bishopstoke factory, since this factory does not accumulate separate details for each unit (available
information relates to the factory as a whole).
(3) Water consumption and hazardous waste: the information for the power cables category includes combined data for the
Accessories and Energy operating units at the Gron factory, since this factory does not accumulate separate details for each unit
(available information relates to the factory as a whole).
(4) The information is significant at sector level. In fact, the quantity of ozone-depleting substances does not relate to production
activities and, accordingly, it is reported separately in total for the Energy and Telecom sectors.
(5) For the purpose of normalising the environmental parameters, the volume of “power cables” produced is expressed in tonnes,
being the sum of the weights of the cables produced in the years concerned and the related compounds produced by Prysmian,
excluding the compounds purchased in the marketplace and simply added to the products.
