INSIGHT ISSUE 01 | 2021

9 It seems fitting that Sustainability Day gave the last word to a panel of next-gen young talents who hold the future in their hands: Martina Ambrozova, Plant Manager in Slovakia; Andrea Banfi, Supply Chain Manager at Prysmian’s Milan headquarters, and Leegan Boudreau, R&D engineer, Bishopstoke. They each shared their vision for how innovation can contribute to a more sustainable business. The event’s takeaway? Prysmian Group’s board and top management are all rowing together in the same direction to make the company and its products more sustainable and help customers achieve the energy and digital transition. INSIGHT | Focus On PRYSMIAN GROUP EDITORIAL STAFF “In Sweden we have a majority of women on our management team. I think it encourages women to step up. We as women can make the decision to engage more women and be a bit bolder when we are recruiting. We have made progress; we are not there yet. And I think the future is quite interesting.” Salli Hara CEO of Prysmian Sweden “Sometimes people expect to see a specific behavior and leadership style for a woman. I don’t overthink it. For me, the power of diversity is to bring to the table different perspectives. And I try to be focused on this. I try to demonstrate the value added that women can bring through my actions.” Vanessa Alvarez Energy & Project Vice President for Latin America “The final message is very simple. I invite you all, as well as my colleagues and my organization, to work for a better future for the people who will come after us. That is our job.” Valerio Battista Chief Executive Officer
