The Code of Ethics lives and evolves
with the development of the business
in the competitive world and it is always
open to receive and accepts requests for
legality and propriety expressed by any
group of stakeholders.
The sustainability strategy adopted by the Prysmian Group
is founded on the system of values that mark the behaviour
of individuals both within and outside the organisation. The
Code of Ethics establishes the principles for all to follow,
consistent with the vision and mission of the Group.
Even the European Commission has commented on the
importance of adhering to a code of ethics, defined as "an
important, innovative tool for promoting the fundamental
rights of individuals, employment and the territory, and a
good policy for fighting corruption."
Accordingly, for Prysmian, the Code of Ethics represents
the Group's "Constitution", being the charter of rights and
moral duties that defines the ethical-social responsibilities
of each participant in the organisation. Given its position
as a true practical guide for daily activities, the Code of
Ethics plays a strategic role in the life of the business. The
Code of Ethics is a tool for preventing irresponsible or illegal
conduct by those who work in the name and on behalf of
the Group.
The Code of Ethics lives and evolves with the development
of the business in the competitive world. It is always open
to receive and accepts requests for legality and propriety
expressed by any group of stakeholders.
Three core values mark the activities of Prysmian:
Excellence, Integrity and Understanding.
