2013 Annual Report - page 92

Prysmian Group’s leadership of the cable industry, in Italy
and worldwide, carries a duty for assuring an efficient,
technologically advanced, high value-added service that is
sustainable in the medium and long term, as expressed in the
corporate Vision.
This responsibility guides the Group’s approach to
sustainability in all its forms. To operate in a responsible
manner is not only a Group policy, but a must for retaining a
lasting competitive edge that can create value for everyone.
Sustainability has become an ever more integrated part of the
Group’s way of doing business, involving every function across
the board: from the environmental and social sustainability
of its solutions to its attention to fostering and developing
human capital, and from production processes mindful of
health, safety and the environment to the management of
relations with local communities. These are just some of the
aspects that guide the Group’s daily activities and direct its
process of setting medium and long-term goals.
The way the business is run aims to implement management
and production processes which help improve the
sustainability of the solutions offered to its customers, the
development of its people, the environmental responsibility
of its production systems and the approach to managing
relations with the local communities in which it operates.
The year 2013 saw the launch of several projects marking
significant steps in the Group’s progress towards
sustainability and the achievement of important results,
reflecting ongoing work over the years.
In its first year of participation, Prysmian was named as
“Best Newcomer” in the Carbon Disclosure Project’s Italy
100 Climate Disclosure Leadership Index, achieving the
highest Climate Disclosure Score among the year’s first-time
participants. This result displays the Group’s commitment to
clear and transparent communication of its greenhouse gas
