Today (almost) everyone is aiming at it - and in our opinion this is good news. Our firm has been working for years on the transformation processes of organizations along the lines of ESG responsibility - Environmental, Social, Governance. We are very happy to have among our clients small and large realities that work with us not only on numbers, but on an integrated management of environmental, social and managerial aspects.
Few boast our expertise on these issues (if you read a hint of pride, you guessed it). Our own Giancarlo Attolini, for example, has closely followed the process of devising and defining the Integrated Reporting standards during his assignments at IFAC. You must have a holistic approach and look at reality from several different points of view. In this sense, our multidisciplinary team is the key to identifying opportunities for transformation.
Implementing models such as integrated reporting and B Corp certification increases the credibility, trust, and authority of a brandon the part of employees, customers, and investors, who are increasingly encouraged to make informed choices. Human relations, trust, organizational culture: change necessarily comes from here. And so, therefore, corporate performance also improves.
For years, we have been used to working with the environmental, social and governance reporting standards defined by GRI and thinking in terms of convergence towards the Sustainable Development Goals set by the UN Global Compact. We are now actively following EFRAG's work on defining the new ESG reporting standards in the European context so that our clients can be the first to be prepared when their adoption is made mandatory.
There are two main models of action to lead your company to the implementation of an ESG strategy: the Società Benefit (as regulated by Italian law) and the Benefit Corporation (B Corp). These are complementary models that make it possible to give immediate recognition to the commitment of the company in the pursuit of social and environmental responsibility objectives, with the additional transparency resulting from certification by independent bodies. B Corp and Società Benefit are accessible paths for partnerships, corporations and cooperatives operating in all sectors of industry and services. The B Corp route is also open to professional activities (doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers, etc.).
Integrated Reporting is now recognised as one of the fundamental tools for measuring the sustainability of an organisation. It was born with the aim of overcoming the traditional concept of economic and financial reporting, which is now insufficient to meet the information needs of the network of stakeholders that refer to the company. Integrated Reporting is not only a corporate reporting system: it is a management system that provides managers and directors with a complete panorama of the network of interrelationships of which the company is a part, in order to enable value creation in the medium and long term.
We listen to the voices and suggestions of colleagues through a series of internal surveys on workplace satisfaction.
We have adopted a detailed Code of Conduct that expresses our deepest, non-negotiable values - such as integrity, inclusiveness, the value of difference, and respect for the personal sphere (you can download it here and it is absolutely necessary to sign it to join our team).
We have encouraged sustainable mobility by joining the Bike to Work programme, which encourages people in ASZ to use bicycles to get to work.
We have supported eco-sustainable choices with regard to the daily life of our workplace, such as the recycling of e-waste (e.g. we have set up collection points for printer toners and used batteries), the exclusive use of Ecolabel/FSC certified paper and an increasingly plastic-free office.
We will tell you about some of them:
As partners of Moore Global, we also share the Moore Social Ambition agenda: a commitment to be a driving force in delivering positive social impact in everything we do. Moore Global is a network of over 30,000 people in more than 110 countries and together we believe we can make a real difference in our communities. Starting in 2022, each year we will report on our measured progress against five themes in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
• Quality & Supply Chain
