WE ARE A BENEFIT CORPORATION

What does this mean?

A Benefit Corporation is a virtuous and innovative legal form of enterprise that balances the economic interests of the company with those of the community, environment and all stakeholders. For us, choosing to become a Benefit Corporation is another step towards creating shared value in a responsible, sustainable and transparent way.

How do you become a Benefit Corporation?

The transformation from for-profit to Benefit Corporation involves integrating the company bylaws with:

The definition of the common benefit goals, i.e. which positive effects the company intends to pursue for a positive impact on the environment and community.

The appointment of an individual from the management team who is responsible for the company’s impact, balancing the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders (customers, employees, suppliers, community, and environment).

The annual preparation and publication of a sustainability report, which provides a transparent and full report of the actions carried out and the future plans and commitments.
