Community and Collaboration

It supports organizations in establishing collaborations that generate real impact on societal challenges. By thinking, establishing, and sustaining partnerships across different sectors, the project ensures that collaborative and inclusive governance becomes part of the organization’s everyday language. This cooperation fosters dialogue among various stakeholders—each contribution is valued and integrated from the initial design phase, reinforcing the idea that sustainable development and corporate social responsibility go hand in hand…
Creating Shared Value
Central to its framework is the concept of creating shared value. The initiative not only enhances a company’s competitiveness but also advances economic and societal conditions for sustainable progress. Anchored to the principles endorsed by the Creating Shared Value Institute of Michael Porter and Mark Kramer, this approach offers a dual advantage: improving economic outcomes while addressing societal issues. It translates corporate social responsibility into action by building strategies that create meaning, adding a layer of purpose to every business activity. The framework is dynamic, engaging all stakeholders in a continuous dialogue about impact and improvement.
Impact Measurement and Governance
The project deploys a strong methodological framework that supports organizations in monitoring and measuring their societal engagement. Efforts include the quantification of carbon footprints to build realistic reduction plans, designing governance tools tailored for specific value chains, territories, or communities, and establishing quality control mechanisms that ensure objectives are met. With an emphasis on inclusive and collaborative governance, the complete reflection on societal engagement is aimed at achieving a positive impact on the organization’s ecosystem, setting concrete parameters for success in both short- and long-term scenarios.
