What is a Benefit Company?
A Benefit Company (Società Benefit, Benefit Corporation) represents an evolution of the concept of a business. While a traditional company exists with the sole purpose of distributing dividends to shareholders, the Benefit Company represents a more evolved paradigm: along with the corporate and profit motive, a Benefit Company aims at having a positive impact on society and the biosphere. A Benefit Company is a legal tool that creates a solid foundation for long-term mission alignment and the creation of shared value
Characteristics of a Benefit Company
In addition to the profit motive, a Benefit Company voluntarily seeks to serve the common benefit as part of its regular business activity. Common benefit refers to the pursuit of one or more positive effects, including the reduction of negative effects, on various entities: these entities can include people, communities, territories, the environment, cultural and social activities and assets, as well as associations and other parties and stakeholders. The Benefit Company seeks to fulfill these objectives in a responsible, sustainable and transparent way. Managers have the responsibility of balancing the interest of the company with the interest of the community.
