Human Rights in Prysmian Group

The Prysmian Human Rights Policy is not limited to our employees. It extends to all of our physical and legal boundaries, including the operations carried out by independent contractors working in Prysmian venues and plants. This ensures that everyone involved in our business activities is part of our commitment to human rights. 

Prysmian not only applies the Human Rights Policy internally but also encourages all suppliers it works with to adopt the same standards as expressed in Prysmian's Code of Business Conduct.

We strive to honor internationally recognized human rights principles, even when faced with conflicting demands. 

We aim to ensure that we are not, directly or indirectly, complicit in any human rights abuses
