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.
