The commitment of the Italian factory
to support circular economy and sustainable development continues
An innovative transformation for the creation of shared value has been undertaken by Ambro-Sol: the made in Italy aerosol factory has changed its legal form from a company for profit to Benefit Company, committing itself to high standards of purpose, accountability and transparency.
Introduced in 2016 in Italy, second only to the USA where it was born in 2010, the Benefit Company (SB) represents an evolution of the enterprise paradigm because it introduces the common benefit purpose, which thus integrates with the traditional profit. By changing the statute, Ambro-Sol has therefore chosen to pursue the promotion of a culture oriented towards the protection and safeguarding of the environment, generating a positive impact on society and the biosphere through the implementation of a circular economy system.
In compliance with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the factory will focus on research and innovation to mitigate environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions. Efficient interventions will also be structured to reduce the effects of waste resulting from production and contribute to the regeneration of natural and environmental systems.
RESPONSIBILITY: the involvement of stakeholders
In addition to profit-sharing, the company will foster healthy working and leisure environments that attract and enable the professional growth of talented people by supporting projects and partnerships with domestic or foreign, public or private entities. The flexibility achieved with the new statute will be necessary to create value for stakeholders in the long term, always taking into account stakeholders in decision-making processes.
TRANSPARENCY: a clear and shared path
At the end of each year, Ambro-Sol will be required to communicate in the utmost transparency the results achieved relating to the common benefit, including the social and environmental impact generated, using the international external assessment standard B Impact Assessment (BIA). The report will also present a description of the objectives and actions implemented, together with any circumstances that have prevented or delayed their implementation, and the plan of future targets in the interests of both shareholders and the general public.
“In our 25 years of history, in which we have started subsidiaries in Poland, France, Spain and the USA with a distribution in over 50 countries internationally – says Daniele Ambrosini, CEO of Ambro-Sol – we have always believed as a family in the urgency of sustainable development. Being in the world the first benefit company in the aerosol industry makes us proud, although for many it may seem an unpopular choice in commercial terms. Taking this path is essential to protect our mission and stand out on the market thanks to a virtuous legal form to protect employees and the community, in which we sink our roots”.
COHERENCE: a 360% corporate culture
A respectful and sustainable exploitation of natural and energy resources has always been a priority for the Lombard company, so much so as to have the UNI EN ISO 14001 certification:2015 to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own.
The factory has also adopted the Organizational Model 231 aimed at optimizing social communications, relationships with stakeholders and implementing transparency regarding roles and responsibilities in business management.
Promoter of an economy able to bring back the human being and its well-being in physical and psychological terms, Ambro-Sol has finally contributed to the foundation of #OrgoglioBresciano, a non-profit association initiative whose strength later led to the establishment of the Consortium of Companies Human Economy Alliance.
