The final event of the year for the Benefit Corporations Community of Practice took place on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, bringing together organizations from the Torino Social Impact ecosystem to discuss the topic of benefit corporate purpose.

The meeting was held in collaboration with attorney Emanuela De Sabato, president and founder of Futura Law Firm, who facilitated an important reflection on drafting a benefit corporate purpose and the pivotal role it plays.

The event included participants from ten different entities, some of which are working to enhance the positive impact of their activities by embarking on a transformation journey toward becoming Benefit Corporations.

Defining a benefit corporate purpose: experiences, tools, and goals

The discussion delved deeply into the topic by sharing concrete experiences and practical insights to understand how to make a benefit corporate purpose a functional tool aligned with the company’s goals. Building on this focus, participants explored how to best define and articulate benefit objectives in relation to their corporate purpose, as well as the reasons why revising it over time might be beneficial.

The participants, diverse in background and experience, had the opportunity to exchange ideas on the various methods for drafting a benefit corporate purpose and the most effective strategies for sustaining and enhancing the positive impact generated by their activities over time.
