PRYSMIAN GROUP 2017 SUSTAINABILITY OVERVIEW THE DRIVING FORCE OF ETHICS In the current global context, which sees a continuous internationalisation of the business, a proliferation of channels and even more extended access to information, as well as an increase in the volume and types of data managed, Prysmian has the possibility to create new opportunities and new services. But at the same time, it is experiencing increasing complexity in the governance of data and in compliance with international regulations, as well as in the growth of potential threats to the principles and requirements in the fields of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. It becomes thus essential to approach the management of information and data considered confidential or sensitive not exclusively as a compliance problem, but also as a security one and a business priority.

The fact that to date Prysmian has not had to handle justified complaints in this area or cases of loss of personal data is undoubtedly an excellent starting point for the adoption of the defined model.
