OVERVIEW

Our Human Rights Responsibility

Prysmian is a People company, and our success over the past 140 years was built on the skills of our employees. They are key to creating long term sustainable value for all stakeholders. As a company that operates across the globe, Prysmian Group takes concrete actions to ensure it respects and protects the Human Rights of all our people and those affected by our business activities and supply chain. Therefore, we have carried out a comprehensive audit plan conducting both remote and onsite assessments in our plants to detect any potential gaps with internationally accepted human rights principles.

Human Rights and Suppliers

Outside of the Group, Prysmian seeks to ensure that suppliers also respect Human Rights, applying a specific Due Diligence process that assesses the risk at supply chain level. We carefully analyse the risks associated with suppliers and raw materials, apply ethical standards and policies on such topics as Human Rights and conflict minerals, and adopt a responsible code of business conduct. Prysmian informs suppliers about these guidelines during its scouting and qualification stages. Prysmian has carries out audits with the aim of monitoring the supplier base in order to prevent any violation, and if necessary, firmly take action — including reconsidering future commercial partnership with the involved suppliers.
