Prysmian’s E Path Program has been strengthened by independent third-party verification

Prysmian’s E Path Program has been validated through an independent third-party verification conducted by UL Solutions in accordance with the ISO/IEC 17029 standard. 

Prysmian, the global leader in the energy and telecommunications cable industry, has received independent third-party verification for its proprietary E Path Program from UL Solutions under the ISO/IEC 17029 standard. The verification confirms that the program is implemented in accordance with its defined design, process, and operational requirements, while also validating the alignment of E Path products with established performance and sustainability criteria. E Path serves as a label identifying Prysmian’s cable solutions that meet the highest standards. 

Türk Prysmian Kablo’s Mudanya facility became the first site within the Group to be assessed under the E Path Program, while the related products were the first to be verified by UL Solutions. Assessments of additional facilities included in the program are planned for the coming months. This verification provides customers with added confidence by demonstrating Prysmian’s commitment to the highest levels of quality, efficiency, and long-term sustainable impact. 

A strong step forward for customer trust and transparency 

The verification conducted by UL Solutions, together with product verification activities and facility assessments, demonstrates that the program and its associated processes are being implemented as defined. As a result, customers are provided with greater transparency and traceability regarding how Prysmian solutions are developed and managed. 

Assessment criteria under the E Path Program 

To qualify for the E Path Program, a product must undergo a comprehensive assessment throughout its entire life cycle. This includes a holistic evaluation of the materials used (including the use of recycled content and the elimination of materials with high environmental impact), the cable’s carbon footprint, energy consumption in manufacturing processes, emissions and process efficiency, durability and efficiency as part of operational performance, as well as end-of-life recovery and recyclability practices. E Path is based on a methodology that incorporates all of these criteria and progresses through a scoring system. Products achieving a score above 55 qualify for the “E Path” label, while this score can be further improved over time, reaching up to 100 points. 

Commenting on the verification, Srinivas Siripurapu, Prysmian Innovation, Sustainability and R&D Director, said: “Customers want the most efficient and reliable solutions, and when they buy from Prysmian, they know they are purchasing a quality that stands above the others in terms of how it works, how long it will work, how it was put together and above all, they want that process to be traceable. We are providing all of this, and going beyond, also including criteria about beyond-life usage, the sustainable choice of materials for a positive impact, and mindful action to reduce carbon emissions. E Path isn’t just a cable, it’s a culture. Each site that implements the E Path program gains a strategic advantage, as the approach is not solely based on internal claims but on a defined framework that Prysmian consistently follows. This commitment is reinforced through our independent validation by UL Solutions, a reputable third party organization, confirming that the program is executed as designed.”

Alberto Uggetti, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, UL Solutions, added: “Our work with Prysmian reflects a shared focus on transparency, accountability and progress in sustainability to enable positive business outcomes. Through independent validation, we help support the development of credible, program-specific environmental claims that enable customers to make informed decisions and advance more sustainable and resilient infrastructure.”
