Prysmian Group believes in the value of individuals, backgrounds, leadership styles, and attitudes because each person can generate value for the company. In addition, our global footprint enables our company to promote an inclusive environment, encouraging the development of our group culture and identity. Side by Side is the Prysmian Group’s project to promote Diversity and Inclusion at all levels of the organization. Launched in 2016, Side by Side is a global project with a Group’s Diversity Work Stream, global targets, and guidelines. The execution of the plan is managed mainly by Regions locally.

Our Diversity & Inclusion journey

"We started our Diversity & Inclusion journey because we wanted a program that would engage the entire organization across the globe and we called it SidebySide. Since then, many initiatives have been launched, globally and locally. Diversity & Inclusion has become one of the most strategic pillars of our Company culture." 

 

- Fabrizio Rutschmann, CHRO Prysmian Group

“Together with our active role in energy transition, we want to promote a more equal, diverse, inclusive, and enriched working environment. We also want to continue to positively impact the development of the communities in which we operate. Our Investors are increasingly focused on the social aspects of ESG Sustainability. They support and encourage us in following the path towards achieving our Company's Social Ambition targets for 2030.”

EMBRACING DIVERSITY

SIDE BY SIDE MEANS LEVERAGING ON UNIQUENESS

 

We support the idea that every person in our Group should follow their individuality and leadership style.

 

People are evaluated and promoted on a meritocratic basis.

Having people of different ages provide a competitive advantage for us. We are able to leverage diverse professional mindsets and drive innovation through knowledge and expertise.

 

Culturally diverse teams are respected and valued. When people from different countries, industries and companies work together, they can push changes and enhance entrepreneurship.
