Ethics and integrity

A COMMITMENT TO ETHICS AND INTEGRITY

One of Prysmian's three core values is creating an atmosphere of trust where people are empowered to make decisions with integrity. Our stakeholders have identified strong ethics as a key driver of the company's success. The Group implements this trust value through its Code of Ethics, a guide for daily conduct for all its employees and reinforced.

 

The Code of Ethics is in line with the best international practices. It implements the principles of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Rights and the International Labour Organization's (ILO) Fundamental Conventions.

Integrity for all Three Pillars of the Sustainability

Prysmian’s Code of Ethics embraces the themes of integrity in business, environmental responsibility, and human and labour rights.

ETHICS IN BUSINESS

Applying the concept of ethics in business means respecting the rules and standards of transparency and competition. Our Antitrust Code of Conduct lays out clear principles to deal with competitors and tenders and how to avoid anti-competitive behavior. Prysmian’s Anti-Bribery Policy aims to prevent corruption by prohibiting public officials and private individuals from bribery. Prysmian seeks to create an anti-corruption culture within the company by including i) mandatory due diligence on all new agents, distributors and other relevant third parties including suppliers; ii) internal training; and iii) special software systems and databases to mitigate said risk.
