17 The ideas were collected through PryInnova, the new open innovation platform for Prysmian Group, hosted on its own intranet and managed by Prysmian’s Venture Builder Corporate Hangar. The ideas have been assessed by local category champions, and local juries have selected those to pursue. They have then been reviewed globally, and similar ideas in different regions have been linked to promote best practice sharing and cross-functional collaboration. Some planning has also started on how to execute the projects. During Prysmian’s Sustainability Week 2023 at the end of June, the submitters of the selected ideas were invited to share their projects in the “Sustainability Fair”, showcasing them to the top management and the other regions. Each region had its own pavilion and the chance to present its ideas to both internal and external stakeholders. “Sustainability and innovation are so intertwined, that we are combining the Sustainability Week with an innovation fair, with ideas coming from our regions, coming from our businesses, to make sure that from tomorrow we can implement solutions driven by sustainability at the regional level and at the global level,” said Prysmian’s Chief Sustainability Officer Cristina Bifulco. “The entire Prysmian population has the chance to be aligned on the main relevant topics in terms of environmental and social sustainability and to give their contribution to shape the sustainability of the Group in the next few years.” From July onwards, the next step is to scale up the selected projects in the regions, and potentially also at the global level.
