2017 Sustainability Overview | Prysmian Group

PRYSMIAN GROUP 2017 SUSTAINABILITY OVERVIEW TAKING ACTION In 2017, Prysmian implemented a specific Sustainability Plan consisting of priorities, objectives and concrete actions aimed at meeting the 16 quantitative KPIs that make up the Group's Scorecard by 2020. As the identification and analysis of risks linked to environmental and social impacts has an increasingly important role within the Group, in 2017 some sustainability risks to which Prysmian appears to be consistently exposed through its business model were identified. Strategies and key activities were undertaken to mitigate them, which are constantly monitored by the company departments guaranteeing an adequate internal control andmanagement system. The Group has set a clear sustainability strategy inspired by the universally recognised United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Group path towards sustainability was aligned with the expectations of stakeholders, through the sharing of activities and objectives with customers, suppliers, institutions and communities, within the same major project in which integrity and responsibility play the main role.
