Towards the sustainable electrification of the world

Nexans is developing an ambitious CSR approach because it is essential that we rethink the risk related to climate change and that the entire company is committed to this. A major player in the international cable industry, The Group intends to design a more sustainable world.

Towards the sustainable electrification of the world

Electrifying the future is our raison d’être. As a global player in the energy transition, Nexans has been playing a crucial role in the electrification of the planet for over a century. We amplify this role by leading the change towards the new world of electrification — a safer, more sustainable, renewable, carbon-free world, accessible to all.

Electrifying the future means working towards a sustainable future by helping to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.

Electrifying the future means becoming a “pure player” in electrification by 2024, by targeting our investments across our entire value chain — electricity production, transmission, distribution and use.

Electrifying the future means becoming what we do best...

Our contribution to carbon neutrality by 2030

Controlled environmental impact

Convinced of the need to preserve the planet for present and future generations, our environmental approach is one of the top three priorities of our CSR policy “Committing to reducing the carbon impact on the planet in innovative ways”. We have set very strict standards and developed a shared innovation project to meet our three-fold goal of maintaining a high standard of environmental management, ensuring a high level of circular economy and fighting against climate change.

An unwavering relationship with our ecosystem

Our success is intimately linked to the quality and strength of our relationships with our stakeholders — partners, customers and investors. That is why we have made this the third priority of our CSR policy “Sharing our values and highest ethical standards with all our stakeholders”. Keen to cultivate and sustain these connections, we maintain regular dialogue with our entire ecosystem. We lay particular emphasis on business ethics with our partners, ongoing dialogue with our stakeholders and access to energy for underprivileged communities through the Nexans Foundation.

A sustainable future

Nexans has defined a long-term CSR strategy based on stakeholders’ expectations and development opportunities.
