Our social and climate change ambitions

We seek to become a global leader in sustainability. That’s why in 2021 we set challenging new climate and social goals that promote the transition towards a low-carbon world and a more equal and inclusive working environment.

Our Climate Change Ambition seeks to position Prysmian Group as one of the main technological players in the transition to low-carbon energy.

The climate strategy adopts “science-based” targets aligned with the Paris Agreement climate objectives. In particular, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) defines the requirements for an effective Net-Zero strategy:

  • reduction of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to zero, or at least to a residual level consistent with achieving the global or sector targets set in line with the Paris Agreement (1.5°C);
  • neutralisation of any residual and GHG emissions released into the atmosphere.

As part of this initiative, Prysmian has taken the following actions:

  • definition of a short-term emissions-reduction target;
  • definition of a long-term emissions-reduction target;
  • launch of projects for the neutralisation of residual emissions.

Our Social Ambition concentrates on new 2030 commitments to improve our performance in diversity, equality and inclusion (DE&I), digital inclusion, the empowerment of communities, employee engagement and upskilling. By adopting a pro-active approach, the Group is evolving into an organization that recognizes diversity, inclusion and gender equality at all levels, committed to facilitating the empowerment of women.
