Prysmian Group has launched a Global Sustainability Academy involving 29,000 employees in over 50 countries.
The initiative aims to spread the culture of sustainability within the entire corporate population worldwide and “further strengthen” Prysmian’s commitment to the implementation of its climate and social mmbitions, with reference to the parameters related to employees’ engagement and their up-skilling.
The Sustainability Academy training programme will also involve the most influential business schools at international level.

The course structure, which will include lessons throughout all the 2023, is divided into five modules – Awareness, Knowledge, Impact, Leadership and KPIs – differentiated according to the target audience.
Maria Cristina Bifulco, Chief Sustainability Officer and Group IR VP, said: “As a market leader in an industry that is key in the energy transition process, we feel it is our duty to convey this sustainable culture to all our colleagues even more effectively and directly, and we need to invest in training and up-skilling our people.”
Prysmian’s Climate Change Ambition adopts Science Based targets aligned with the requirements of the Paris Agreement: reduction to zero of emissions of Scope 1, 2 and 3 or at least to a residual level consistent achieving the Paris Agreement targets (1.5 °C).
