Sustainable Supply chain
The Group constantly strengthens our relationships with strategic suppliers of the principal raw materials we use to make our cables, seeking to build a common organizational process with them that is focused on sustainability throughout the entire production chain. During 2022, we continued developing a number of environmental and social strategies for the supply chain, taking ESG factors into account. We carefully analyze the risks associated with suppliers and raw materials, apply ethical standards and policies on such topics as Human Rights and Conflict Minerals, and adopt a responsible code of business conduct.
During 2022, the Prysmian Group has managed to further develop and implement environmental and social strategies in the supply chain area. We use qualified suppliers that apply sustainability strategies in their production activities, and we are steadily reducing emissions generated by products used by the Group. To further support our goals, we have incorporated ESG KPIs into our supply chain valuation and have implemented a new supplier portal for better monitoring of ESG principles.
