Prysmian confirmed with improved scoring on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index

Prysmian achieved the best results in Innovation Management - where last year's score was maintained -, in Environmental Reporting, Social Reporting and Talent Attraction & Retention where the score was improved.

At Prysmian Group, we strongly believe that Sustainability and Innovation are linked together. We have embarked on a comprehensive innovation effort including product carbon footprint, circular economy and low carbon product innovations for Energy transition and Digitalization.

Innovations like P-Laser, the first totally recyclable cable ensuring higher and more reliable performances, can contribute to the development of more performing and sustainable power grids. P Laser HVDC cable technology was chosen for the development of German Corridors, a milestone of the energy transition projects. Prysmian is also committed to sustainable innovation in the field of the optical fibre and cable for telecom networks, as demonstrated with the recent launch of a pilot project with the Dutch telecom operator KPN involving a fibre-optic network containing 90% recycled plastic.

Next November 24^th, Prysmian is launching a Sustainability Day and three interactive online workshops in a new all-digital format for its annual Stakeholder Engagement event, an important appointment to shape priorities for the Group's sustainability strategy. Sustainability goals are achieved by working with our partners. The stakeholder engagement is a key part of Prysmian Group's sustainability strategy.

In 2020 Prysmian Group joined the international business community in the 50 Sustainability and Climate Leaders, a forum where companies share their ideas and experience in responding to climate change, hosted on Bloomberg website and 50 climate leaders hub.
