2017 Yearly Overview | Prysmian Group

In order to guarantee a strong commitment both inside and outside the Group, a Sustainability Strategy was defined in 2016. It included: strategic priorities; medium-long term targets for 2020; a set of qualitative-quantitative performance indicators aimed at constantly monitoring the progress of the Group's sustainability, and a set of actions that are updated annually based on the results achieved. This Sustainability Strategy is the result of analysis that considered both external factors – through the identification of main trends in a global and sector context – and internal factors. The result therefore, takes into consideration global priorities in sustainable development (as defined in the United Nation’s SDGs and by international sustainability indexes), as well as the needs and expectations of our stakeholders. We’ve selected the five SDGs to which we can contribute most, (outlined below) and incorporated them into an implementable Sustainability Plan consisting of priorities, targets and actions consistent with our business and values.
