Benefit Corporations are companies that, in the exercise of an economic activity, pursue one or more purposes of common benefit in addition to the aim of distributing profits, and operate responsibly, sustainably, and transparently towards individuals, communities, territories and the environment, cultural and social assets and activities, entities and associations, and other stakeholders.
Specifically, six specific “purposes of common benefit” have been integrated into the Articles of Association of San Marco Group S.p.A., which we intend to pursue:
1. Commitment to promoting and spreading a business model based on ethics, transparency, and aimed at implementing initiatives to integrate sustainability into business processes and strategy.
2. Creation and strengthening of strategic partnerships with the aim of developing business initiatives also oriented toward sustainable development and spreading the principles of sustainability along the value chain.
3. Development of ideas, projects, and other initiatives aimed at pursuing and maintaining the best possible well-being conditions for employees, making human rights, diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities a key factor in the company’s development.
4. Support for social, cultural, and sports projects in the area with the aim of creating a positive impact on local communities.
5. Research and implementation of innovative solutions capable of anticipating future challenges, aimed at improving the environmental impact of products and promoting a culture of responsible resource use.
6. Implementation of a system for monitoring environmental impacts related to water, energy, and waste, developing business processes aimed at improving efficiency and optimizing resources.
