2017 Sustainability Overview | Prysmian Group

A PIONEERING SPIRIT PRYSMIAN GROUP 2017 SUSTAINABILITY OVERVIEW Again in 2017 Prysmianmultiplied its efforts to explore innovation and find out new ways to pursue its goal of a sustainable and responsible growth, in all the fields the company is active with its leading offer of products and solutions. All High Voltage projects have focused on increasing the transmission capacity of links and therefore improved efficiency, while the monitoring systems developed helped to facilitate the management of assets, by optimising losses and downtime. In the Gas Getters technology, further industrial trials have identified the possibilities and limitations of the absorption system of by-products generated in the production phase. Initial studies of materials capable of absorbing water and gas vapor have produced interesting results too. In 2017, efforts continued to increase the efficiency and reliability of products while lowering the dissipation of energy and power through continuous innovation. Prysmian has worked hard to reduce the set-up times of the machines and increase the speed of manufacturing processes. As a result, we achieved greater efficiency, increased capacity and abated the energy consumed. ABATING THE WASTE OF RESOURCES
