Ethics & Integrity
of the Company

OVERVIEW

An Principled Company

There can be no sustainable value creation without adhering to the highest standards of fair and ethical business practices. Anything less risks undoing the hard work of thousands of our people around the world, and impairing our stakeholders’ trust.

Our Code of Ethics

This is supported by our Company Compliance Policies and Procedures (including the Code of Ethics, the Anti-Corruption policy, the Antitrust Policy, the Code of Business Conduct, the Conflict of Interest Procedure, the Helpline Policy, Donations Procedure, the Export Control Policy, and Sponsorship Procedure, and the Privacy and Data Protection Policy, Sustainability Statement Procedure, Public Affairs Policy among others) designed to ensure adherence from our employees, suppliers, business partners, sales agents, sub-contractors and distributors on the Prysmian way of doing business.

Evolving along with Business Practices

Our Code of Ethics and compliance policies live and evolve with the development of our business in the competitive world. We continuously evaluate all current laws and regulations relating to these areas and amend our policies accordingly, in line with the latest best practices. We also take the opinions of our stakeholders into account on these matters and consider their requests relating to legality and propriety. We also seek to support our ethical conduct with various initiatives, including the Prysmian Helpline program.

Supplier relationships represent a particularly critical channel. Through dedicated surveys and questionnaires, we maintain a direct line with our suppliers to verify compliance with our internal Code of Conduct and to monitor the integrity of our supply chain — including the traceability of raw materials through conflict minerals surveys designed to identify key actors such as smelters and refiners, ensuring full transparency and alignment with responsible sourcing expectations. This continuous engagement not only supports compliance with national, international and internal regulatory requirements, but also drives business innovation — including the investigation of alternative sourcing solutions beyond conflict minerals areas, in order to reduce exposure to high-risk regions and further strengthen our supply chain resilience.

Updates to any of our policies are broadcast across the Company and made readily available to all employees and associated companies.

You can learn more about each of our ethics and integrity policies on the dedicated pages below.

Cybersecurity

In a rapidly changing world where information has significant value and there is growing interoperability between networks, systems, and applications, it is increasingly complex to manage and protect information assets, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.

This complexity is particularly relevant for manufacturers continuing to drive extensive innovation in products and services, manufacturing processes, and the industrial ecosystem to compete in this changing global marketplace by adopting new technologies to achieve customer-centricity and increase value-added services and business efficiency.

In this context, Prysmian developed an Information Security Strategy, whose main objective is to set an overall direction to efficiently and effectively address the management, control and protection of the Company’s information assets.

Information Security and Artificial Intelligence Committee

The Information Security and Artificial Intelligence Committee has the main responsibility of defining and monitoring Cyber Security's Strategic and Operational goals, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the Cyber Security Framework and Program. It also discusses, plans, and monitors relevant Information Security topics and activities across the Group, addresses issues and incidents, and ensures the safe, ethical, and compliant implementation and use of Artificial Intelligence.
