With a business strategy consistent with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we strive to have a lower impact.
We express this through products that when installed in homes, infrastructures, and cities around the world, make these just as low impact.
A FIRST IN THE CABLE INDUSTRY
E Path uses measurable and known assessment criteria to summarize the contribution that cables can provide, in terms of climate change effect, paving the way for the cable industry to be included into low impact labelling systems.
ON THE SAME PAGE AS OUR CUSTOMERS
We aim to share the same eco language as our customers, bringing to their supply chains products that meet measurable and recognized criteria, in a perfect fit with a circular economy.
E Path is our pledge to provide transparent and clear indications and information, using recognized criteria, on the environmental impact of our cables based on our three key drivers: SUSTAINABILITY, RELIABILITY, and QUALITY.
SIX MEASURABLE AND INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CRITERIA
To be E Path-labelled, each cable family has to pass a rating process based on the following criteria.
CARBON FOOTPRINT
Calculated according to “cradle
to-gate” approach and combined with other parameters to achieve full “cradle-to-grave” carbon footprint;
SUBSTANCES OF VERY HIGH
CONCERN
Products shall be free of substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic for reproduction, or hazardous for the environment;
RECYCLABILITY/CIRCULARITY
Indicates that materials used in cables are potentially recyclable or the products themselves are potentially fully recyclable;
RECYCLING INPUT RATE
Indicates the presence of recycled material in a cable, both purchased from external suppliers and reused by Prysmian itself;
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Applies to low-carbon enabling
products, CPR compliant cables, and cables used for keep the same energy sources;
CABLE TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY
The more efficient the cable, the more sustainable its performance.
