Sustainability at Prysmian is not only a prerogative for research and development in the more developed countries, but also in the emerging ones, as investment in sustainable innovation helps to lower risk in places where energy costs are rising and access to energy sources remains unstable. In addition, our engineers employ advanced tools to validate the performance of our cables and simulate applications, even before any prototypes are made. This process helps to maximise the efficiency As a global leader in its industry, Prysmian is committed to innovating and generating higher value for its customers, particularly through developing new products and systems with a lower environmental impact, even in those sectors where products are largely standardised. This commitment stems from the conviction that this is “the best way to guarantee economic sustainability over the long term”, as stated byMarcelo Andrade, Senior Vice President of R&D. He explains that development projects seek to achieve three main objectives: increasing the efficiency and reliability of our finished products; lowering energy and power losses, and reducing greenhouse gas Prysmian believes that continuously promoting innovation and development of new products with a reduced environmental impact is the best way to guarantee economic sustainability over the long term and thus accompany economies and communities on a durable growth path. SHAPING THE FUTURE “A strong commitment to innovation is essential in order to assure wellbeing and a high quality of life for today's society and future generations.” Marcelo Andrade Senior Vice President Research & Development
