HARVEST TIME

Editorial Team Insight

The important contracts secured in the first few months of 2017 are all thanks to a focus on excellence in execution and the continuous innovation constantly pursued by Prysmian Group. They also provide a solid foundation upon which to build the remainder of the year, allowing us to set upbeat targets for 2017’s final results. In our QUARTERLY OVERVIEW section we display the details of the quarterly results approved by the Board of Directors, while in DOING BUSINESS you’ll find accurate reports on the projects secured which demonstrate their importance both in terms of economic and strategic value.

In this issue of INSIGHT we also FOCUS ON the efforts made once again in 2016 by the company to maintain and improve its leadership and excellence not only in terms of business, but also as a champion of sustainability. Our Sustainability Report details the further important progress made throughout 2016 in making sustainability an ever-more integral part of company activity.

Prysmian took important new steps to further boost such integration by defining a Sustainability Policy that establishes the Group’s strategic priorities for the medium-long term by making reference to the expectations of our stakeholders, principal international indicators, and the Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the United Nations.

We reach out to Australia in our GLOBAL SCENARIO section to discover how Prysmian is helping to transform the area by joining the challenging mission of bringing broadband connections to the premises on every corner of the huge continent. In our PEOPLE section we investigate how Prysmian is pioneering in the field of training while also taking action to spread the ‘value of diversity’ across the company through the dozens of countries in which it operates.
