What do we do?
Benefit Company
BEING A BENEFIT CORPORATION:
FOR PROFIT AND FOR THE COMMON BENEFITION
The concept of enterprise has changed; now, wealth and well-being, together with social and environmental balances, depend on company decisions. Companies must take care of their interests and act for the benefit of stakeholders. Getting the status of Benefit Company (SB or Benefit Corporation) allows you to do just that.
We assist companies that wish to become a Benefit Company or transform their structure into a Benefit Corporation, guiding them through each phase, from identifying shared goals to creating the impact report and external communication of the created Benefit Company.
Objectives
Obligations
The Benefit Company is required to comply with three elements: purpose, accountability and transparency. Indeed, they are obliged to:
- Indicate the purposes of public utility in the social object;
- Nominate a business impact manager;
- Draft the annual impact report to be attached to the budget.
WHAT BENEFIT SOCIETY MEANS
THE ADVANTAGES
This innovative form of enterprise is recognised by Italian law and in many countries around the world, including 38 States of the USA, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Peru, Puerto Rico and Rwanda. In Italy, around 1000 companies have already adopted this model.
Why choose to become a benefit company?
The reasons that push companies, both new and already established, towards this direction are multiple, including:
Stability
The legal nature of SB guarantees the protection of the corporate mission in the long term, resisting crises, generational changes or sales. This also strengthens relations with credit lines.
Sharing
The aims of common benefit allow us to become part of a community that shares the same values, that is to generate profit, but respecting the planet and society.
Interest
Action for the positive impact of benefit companies attracts shareholders and investors, increases access to finance, improves brand credibility, conquers young talents.
Control
The mandatory reporting activity of SB allows you to improve your performance, to compare them with those of other companies, to optimize the management and business costs.
Planet, people, profit
