Oman Cables Industry, a leading manufacturer of industrial cables, was honoured at the 10th edition of Oman Forum 2022 with its Chief Executive Officer Cinzia Farisè receiving the 'Sustainability Leadership in Manufacturing' award.

While Sustainability Awards are aimed at honouring exemplary leaders in Oman with extraordinary accomplishments in areas of social, economic and environment sustainability, the award will further drive Oman Cables' sustainable growth which augurs well with Oman Vision 2040 and the national priorities towards a safe, socially responsible and well-preserved environment, with effective and balanced ecosystems and renewable resources.

The award ceremony was presided over by Dr Rahma Ibrahim al Mahrooqi, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.

Cinzia Farisè, who is also CEO at Prysmian Group MEAT Region, said, “The award is a recognition of our role in preserving the environment and reducing human impact on biodiversity which has clearly been detrimental to it. It also shows how committed we are in reinforcing our business model to integrate economic, social and environmental responsibility in all aspects of our activities while creating value for the community and the entire ecosystem.”

“At Oman Cables, which is part of the Prysmian Group, we consider multiculturalism, diversity and inclusion as fundamental pillars of the company and fully support Oman Vision 2040 whose national priorities move towards a safe, socially responsible and well-preserved environment with renewable resources,” she added.

During the Oman Forum 2022, Oman Cables senior executives had the opportunity to interact with policy makers and industry leaders in the field of sustainable development and engaged in interactive discussions and knowledge sharing through leadership presentations and engrossing panel discussions.

According to Cinzia Farisè, Oman Cables has been conducting Sustainability Awareness Training to empower all employees within every stage of the process.

“The priorities for Oman Cables include product circularity and recycling in order to reduce waste, develop efficiencies and maximize resources and winning 'Sustainability Leadership in Manufacturing' award will give us further boost to do more as far as sustainability awareness is concerned,” she said.

Oman Cables' partnership with Prysmian Group gives the company an impetus to focus more on increasing sustainability awareness in line with the goal of becoming a leading entity that is dedicated to sustainability because the group's social ambition complements climate change strategy based on the requirements of the Paris Agreement that sets a net zero of emissions generated by its operations.
