For the common good

WE ARE A BENEFIT CORPORATION

The systemic vision of life in which the Group has always stood out, brought us to redefine a concept of health that is directly, constantly and indivisibly connected to society and environment. We believe that a company could thrive only if it is able of combining economic growth, social justice and nature respect.


For this reason, we decided to become a Benefit Corporation, a new legal form of company, introduced in 2016 in Italy, the first country in the world after United States.


In order to adopt this model, we formalised our commitment to pursue the Common Good in our articles of incorporation, adding six aims of public benefit to the traditional one of generating profit:

The promotion of people’s health and well-being
Constant research and development into natural and scientifically advanced molecular complexes
The creation of new supply chain models based on the active involvement of our partners and the communication of our values
The promotion of respectful practices that improve the balance and diversity of environment
A concrete focus on the cultural, social and economic development of the communities in which we operate
The valorisation of people who work with us

Our Impact Report

Every year we measure our contribution to each objective with our Impact Report, through which we define our annual improvement plan. In order to measure and report our general impact inside the Impact Report in a rigorous and quantitative way, we chose the Benefit Impact Assessment (BIA), an international benchmark developed by B Lab, a non-profit entity based in the US.

Measuring ourselves through this standard allowed us to map how Aboca has developed in these years of expansion, so we can plan a path of organic improvement which is consistent with our vision of growth.
