Alessi believes that true Corporate Social Responsibility consists first and foremost of carrying out one’s own activities with care: producing economic value, creating products that are good for people, and valuing people’s work.

Alessi is part of a global movement of companies that, going beyond the goal of profit, see business as a tool to positively influence the community. B Corps are companies convinced that their final aim is more than mere profit. They work to maximise their positive impact on their employees, the communities in which they operate and the environment, using business as a regenerating force for society and for the well-being of the planet. Alessi sees being a B Corp as a way of translating its long-standing way of “doing business” into a formal and recognisable certification.


B IMPACT REPORT

The decision to become a Benefit Corporation also from a legal point of view, signed in 2020, represents the formalisation of the company's commitment to pursue, together with the purpose of profit, a common benefit in a responsible, sustainable and transparent way. Alessi has been acting with these intentions since it was founded one hundred years ago, in 1921: ever since then, it has understood its business activity in terms of public benefit, capable of fostering good practices, generating value and encouraging culture, accompanying individual wellbeing and collective progress and committing itself to the measurement and continuous improvement of environmental performance.

IMPACT REPORT

For Alessi, true Corporate Social Responsibility primarily means conducting its core business with care: creating economic value in a fair and correct manner; meeting market needs by producing items that benefit people; and organizing and valuing employees' work.

This also includes cultural, social, and environmental initiatives that go beyond regular business operations, reflecting a special commitment to others and to the community.

These activities define Alessi's approach to business, where the well-being of society and the well-being of the company are not separate or opposing goals but are mutually supportive in such a virtuous way that, in the long term, they cannot exist independently of one another.

As for philanthropic activities, in addition to routine product donations to non-profit organizations in Italy and abroad, one of the company's most significant initiatives is the grant associated with the Fund named after the founder Giovanni Alessi Anghini, created in collaboration with the VCO Community Foundation. Through this Fund, the company allocates 1% of its profits to finance social utility projects in the area, presented by directly involved employees. This strengthens the relationship with employees by sharing their commitment to social causes and working together to support the community where Alessi’s roots lie.

As part of its design, production and sale of household items, small furnishings and accessories for the home and catering industry, Alessi sees safeguarding the safety and dignity of employees and respect for the environment as absolutely essential. To this end, the company is seriously committed to developing, producing, distributing and marketing products which have a constantly reduced environmental impact, both during production and at the end of life, and to ensuring that the health and safety of its employees is always safeguarded during production activities at its plants.
