ency and credibility are also expressed
in a system of corporate governance

The Group's development strategy
follows the dual track of growth in size
and continuous improvement in profit-
ability. The Group pursues both organic
growth of the business, based on a
selective investment policy and devel-
opment of commercial and production
synergies, and acquisition-led growth.
The search for growth opportunities is
primarily focused on higher value-add-
ed high-tech businesses while in
terms of geographical expansion, the
Group mainly invests in countries and
markets capable of ensuring high rates
of growth and profitability.

Prysmian has consolidated over time
the ability to optimise its industrial
processes, including by integrating and
rationalising acquired companies. In
fact, the Group has been successfully
conducting the process of integration
with Draka started in 2011 and is on
track with its targets. It intends to
push ahead with the plan to extract
synergies from rationalising its organi-
sation and industrial footprint, as well
as from procurement activities. The de-
velopment of synergies with Draka also
covers the commercial sphere, involving
the integration of product ranges and
enhancement of customer service.
