Prysmian has undertaken several projects
in recent years aimed at using resources
more efficiently and reducing the impact of
its production processes, leading not only
to benefits for the environment but also
lower costs. Prysmian has nonetheless felt
the need to proceed in a more systematic
and coordinated fashion, with the primary
aim of improving the reporting of energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
at Group level.
The first concrete step in this direction was
the conduct in 2015 of 17 energy audits
at European sites, in accordance with the
requirements of the European Energy
Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU.
The audits, which will be repeated regularly
in the future, took place in 16 selected
operating units representing Prysmian’s
different types of production activity and in
its Research and Development labs in Milan.
A constant commitment
for the future
Prysmian has also managed and completed
numerousactivities,includingactiveparticipation
in various working groups and committees
of industry associations, like for example the
Europacable ECOE Committee, the Orgalime
“Substances Task Force”, the ANIE Environment
Committee, the AICE environment working
group, and the IEC Maintenance Team which is
developing the standard for the environmental
statement specific to energy cables.
About Euro 10 million was invested in
HSE activities in 2015, part of which in the
“trigeneration” system at the FOS plant in
Battipaglia, resulting in an estimated saving of
about 2,000 TOE compared with 2014.
