Criteria defining the E Path brand

This category covers cables that, based on the E Path methodology, score 55 points or more out of a maximum of 100 for environmental performance.

The score, comprising the sum of the scores for six environmental impact criteria specifically defined for the cable industry, reflects the product’s ability to reduce environmental impacts throughout its life cycle, compared with the market standard.

The E Path assessment is based on a proprietary environmental scoring system that analyzes the product throughout its main life cycle stages, including:

materials used (recycled content, type of raw materials, upstream impacts)
production processes (energy consumption, emissions, process efficiency)
operating performance (durability, efficiency, reduced impacts during use)
end of life (recyclability, material recovery)

The entire E Path system is described in a specification that defines its scope, rules and calculation methodologies. Its methodological robustness, compliance with international environmental assessment best practices, and correct application of the criteria in the plants involved are subject to third-party audit. The resulting certification ensures reliability of the process and comparability of results over time.
