Prevention Against Gender Violence
One of InVento Lab’s standout missions is debunking patriarchal models by starting with children—girls and boys alike. Through playful, engaging training courses designed for primary and secondary schools, it aims to defeat gender stereotypes and raise emotional awareness early on. This proactive approach helps prevent gender violence before it takes root. Schools in local areas are encouraged to get involved and help shape a safer, more inclusive future. Plus, being part of the DELA program means InVento Lab is plugged into a global network pushing for systemic social change.
Why Being a B Corp Matters
InVento Lab didn’t just become a B Corp by chance—it’s a B Corp by vocation. The realization came during a conference in San Francisco, where the team discovered they were part of a worldwide movement dedicated to positive impact on people and the planet. Joining the B Corp network was a natural step, perfectly aligning with their vision of interdependence and shared responsibility. Since then, InVento has been recognized by B Lab Europe as “Best Collaborator 2020” and has earned the “Best for the World” title every year since 2017. It’s also one of only four Italian entities chosen to guide other companies through the B Corp certification process, helping them embrace sustainable and regenerative business models.
Education and Regenerative Consulting
Education is a powerful tool for change, and InVento Lab knows it well. They co-design changemaking education programs on sustainability in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, inspiring new generations to think differently. On the consulting side, they guide companies through their transformation journeys toward regenerative business models, including B Corp and Benefit corporations. This dual focus on education and consulting creates a ripple effect, spreading sustainable practices across sectors and communities.
