Excellence: doing well is never enough. A rigorous approach
and entrepreneurial leadership are combined to offer
innovative and complete solutions for every kind of
business.
Integrity: when it comes to ethics, no challenge is too great
or too small, if the objective is to achieve the best.
Understanding: great respect for different opinions and
ideas, and a lively interest in the needs of our customers.
The Code of Ethics is underpinned by three pillars:
- Ethics in business activities: the profit motive does
not justify recourse to improper means and behaviour.
Profit must be achieved by respect for the rules and
competitors, and by fair and transparent actions that
anticipate and meet market needs, thus generating
value for distribution to the shareholders and other
stakeholders;
- Ethics in internal relations: the Group knows that it
cannot think about the future without considering
its ties with employees, which are strengthened by
respecting their rights, expectations and needs, and
by facilitating improvement in their living conditions
and professional growth. The individual is central to all
activities, as the engine for future development;
- Ethics in environmental and social matters: the
Prysmian Group operates worldwide with respect
for the environment and the social communities in
whose context it operates. This approach is founded
on strong belief in the principle of sustainable
development that respects the rights of future
generations. At the same time, the Group encourages
the responsible use of resources and promotes local
projects designed to enhance well-being in the areas
concerned.
All companies within the Prysmian Group agree to comply
strictly with the Code of Ethics, applicable regulations and
the rules and procedures adopted from time to time by the
Prysmian Group in order to implement the Code of Ethics
in full.
The full version of the Code of Ethics can be found on the
website of the Prysmian Group
