LEADERSHIP MESSAGE
At EOSS, excellence means delivering reliable solutions that meet our customers' expectations while protecting people, safeguarding the environment, using energy responsibly and protecting the information entrusted to us.
Our Integrated Management System brings these commitments together. Quality, health and safety, environmental protection, energy performance and information security are interconnected principles that guide how we design and develop our solutions, perform testing, manage projects, work at customer sites and collaborate with suppliers and partners.
As part of Prysmian, we translate the Group commitments into our daily decisions and activities. At the same time, we continue the EOSS commitments to customer satisfaction and continual quality improvement, and to preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information through an effective Information Security Management System.
I expect everyone working with or for EOSS to understand the requirements applicable to their activities, identify risks and opportunities, speak up when something is not right, protect information and assets, prevent defects, incidents, pollution and waste, and contribute actively to continuous improvement. When conditions are unsafe, everyone has the right and responsibility to stop and escalate the situation.
By integrating these principles into one management system, we strengthen customer trust, operational resilience, compliance and sustainable performance, while creating long-term value for our people, our customers, Prysmian and the communities in which we operate.
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
EOSS operates an Integrated Management System that brings together Quality, Health & Safety, Environment, Energy and Information Security. The system provides a common framework for governance, risk-based decision-making, objectives, competence, operational control, monitoring, audits, corrective actions and continual improvement across EOSS activities.
The Integrated Management System is based on the principles of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. The applicable certification scope may differ by EOSS legal entity, location and activity; the relevant certificates, scopes and local management-system documentation shall therefore be considered together with this Policy.
This Policy applies to EOSS SA and EOSS srl. Through its Integrated Management System, EOSS is committed to:
- meeting applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, customer, Prysmian and other requirements to which EOSS subscribes;
- using risk-based thinking to identify and address risks and opportunities that may affect product and service quality, people, the environment, energy performance, information and business continuity;
- setting measurable objectives, assigning responsibilities and adequate resources, defining documented processes and controls, and monitoring performance against expected results;

- promoting consultation, participation, communication and the timely reporting of concerns, nonconformities, incidents and opportunities for improvement;
- continually improving the suitability, adequacy, effectiveness and performance of the Integrated Management System.
