Our websites Search Menu Vision and ambitions At the core of a sustainable future In a changing world, our ambition remains unchanged: Bring Energy to Life. There is an ever- greater need for safe, reliable cable solutions in the face of growing electricity demand (+80% by 2040*), which we strive to meet with innovative, sustainable solutions. But, any strategy to deal with challenges such as population growth and global warming needs to benefit all and not just the few. We need to drive positive change for our employees, our customers, the economy, society as a whole and our planet. This is why we have developed an ambitious CSR approach underpinned by a dedicated governance structure. CSR policy Based on stakeholder expectations and business opportunities, we’ve defined a long-term CSR and sustainable profitability strategy. Through an in-depth materiality assessment based on the ISO 26000 requirements, we identified 4 sustainability priorities and 12 ambitions fully aligned and integrated with the group’s strategy.
