It reflects our role not just as a business but as an active participant in creating positive impacts for people, communities, and the planet..

What Does It Mean to Be a Benefit Corporation?

A Benefit Corporation is a legal designation that goes beyond the traditional business model. It is a company that not only seeks profit but is also committed to generating a positive impact on society and the environment through activities adhering to high social and environmental standards. Being a Benefit Corporation means doing business with a broader purpose: to contribute to collective well-being, support communities, and promote environmental sustainability. This model requires companies to establish and pursue goals for the common good while regularly monitoring and reporting on their social and environmental impacts.

Duties of a Benefit Corporation

Achieving Benefit Corporation status involves meeting specific obligations that drive our daily efforts to benefit society and the environment.

Integration of Common Benefit Objectives:

We are formally committed to creating positive impacts on people, the environment, and communities. This commitment involves developing an ethical and responsible system aimed at optimizing consumption and reducing natural resource waste. We prioritize the use of eco-sustainable, recyclable raw materials, ensuring that our operations are as environmentally friendly as possible. Furthermore, we actively support nonprofit organizations and third-sector entities, contributing to initiatives that promote the public good. In addition, we foster a culture of workplace health and safety, ensuring that these values are deeply embedded in our daily operations. We also initiate and support projects that focus on enhancing the skills of younger generations, helping to build a brighter future for all. Finally, we are dedicated to researching and applying methods that minimize the consumption of natural resources. By using low-impact tools, materials, and recyclable goods, we strive to benefit both individuals and the biosphere, while preserving the surrounding environment.

Transparency and Reporting

As a Benefit Corporation, we commit to publishing an annual report outlining our achievements regarding common benefit goals. Each year, through our reporting, we evaluate the results of our actions and the positive changes we've brought to our industry, society, and environment.
