HSE STRATEGY AND POLICY
Once again, a number of important
projects were launched in 2012 under
the guidance of the Health, Safety and
Environment (HSE) function, working
together with R&D, Procurement, Human
Resources, Production and Logistics.
During 2012, the Prysmian Group's senior management
renewed and intensified its long-standing commitment
to health, safety and the environment, in the awareness
that the proper management of these aspects does
not stop with improving the performance of the Group.
Rather, HSE adds value for all parties concerned, both in
terms of business success and with regard to Prysmian's
responsibilities towards its employees and the local
communities.
In addition to safeguarding the environment, conservig
natural resources and protecting employees, all established
commitments, the Group has also accepted the new
challenge of creating even safer products with a reduced
environmental footprint. The first step is to gradually add
environmental performance, health and safety criteria
to the sector-specific requirements and those relating to
quality and the optimisation of materials and costs at all
stages in the product life cycle, from design to marketing
to final utilisation.
This will be a challenging process, requiring not only
specific skills in relation to the environment, health and
safety, but also - and more in general - the acceptance
of responsibility by the various functions within the
organisation, and collaboration between them.
Once again, a number of important projects were launched
in 2012 under the guidance of the Health, Safety and
Environment (HSE) function, working together with R&D,
Procurement, Human Resources, Production and Logistics.
