The Group implements these guidelines through a set of rigorous and transparent annual targets aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and feedback from its stakeholders. These targets are laid out in Prysmian Group’s Sustainability Scorecard as a set of 16 Key and challenging Performance Indicators, that are clear and measurable, against which the company’s progress is monitored annually, in order to ensure a continuous improvement.

A document in line with international standards that helps the Company every day to grow its business, work with colleagues and dedicate particular attention to environmental and social matters. Prysmian’s people are always at the center of the company’s ESG strategy.
