Diversity
& Inclusion

Prysmian Group believes in the value of individuals, backgrounds, leadership styles and attitudes because each person has the potential to generate value to the Company. 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. Side by Side was launched in 2016 as 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

"Three years ago, we started our Diversity&Inclusion journey. We wanted a program that would be able to engage the entire organization across the globe and we called it SidebySide. Since then, a lot of initiatives have been launched, globally and locally. Diversity&Inclusion has become one of the most strategic pillar of our Company culture." Fabrizio Rutschmann, Chief HR Officer Prysmian Group. 

“We strongly believe that leveraging on gender, age and cultural diversities means creating more value and we are constantly building a work environment where all our employees can feel understood, respected and included just as they are.”

EMBRACING DIVERSITY

SIDE BY SIDE MEANS LEVERAGING ON UNIQUENESS


We support the idea that everybody in our Group should follow his/her own individuality and leadership style. People are evaluated and promoted on a meritocratic base.

Having people of different ages is a real competitive advantage us. We leverage on 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 are able to push changes and enhance entrepreneurship.
