HSE OBJECTIVES
Prysmian's senior management periodically reviews the
HSE Management System, analysing and evaluating
the results achieved, the changes needed and Group
requirements, in order to establish guidelines for improving
the management of matters relating to health, safety and
the environment.
At the start of 2012, the Environment and Safety
Committee (ESC), which represents Prysmian's senior
management, established the HSE improvement objectives
for 2012-2014 and communicated them internally, involving
the HSE functions in each country and at each business
unit.
The activities and results achieved in 2012 are summarised
