OVERVIEW

Our Diversity & Inclusion Journey

"In 2016 we started our Diversity & Inclusion journey with the launch of Side by Side, a program that would engage the entire organization and lead to local committees dedicated to creating a more inclusive and equitable working environment. Now, DE&I is part of our Social Ambition 2030 and a strategic pillar of our Company culture."

Chief HR Officer Prysmian Group.

“We strongly believe that leveraging on gender, age and cultural diversities means creating more value and we are constantly building a work environment where all our employees can feel understood, respected and included just as they are.”

Prysmian Group is strongly committed to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and aims at creating tools and conditions that allow all the employees to better manage their unique life and work.

In accordance with this approach, Prysmian Group also recognizes the high value of parenthood for the personal and professional development of its people.

  2. Protection against discriminatory and inappropriate behaviors towards new mothers / primary caregivers;
  3. An equitable and inclusive working environment;
  4. Treatment of parents across the Group with fairness and caring.

Global Anti-Harassment Policy

Prysmian Group is committed to the development of an organization that prioritizes talent, abilities, diverse experiences, different cultural backgrounds, and, in general all forms of diversity: ethnic, race gender, language, age, sexual orientation, marital status, nationality, religion, political orientation, socio-economic status, physical and mental ability, experience, education and professional background.

In promoting such a diversified environment, Prysmian wants people to feel respected, appreciated and free to fully express their human potential, which means qualifying diversity and inclusion as one of the main pillars of the company culture. Accordingly, Prysmian has also adopted a Human Rights policy which supports internationally recognized human rights standards and regulates violations of those standards.

The Company is committed to support the adoption of the anti-harassment principles along its value chain and within the communities in which it is present.
