Centennial companies, of the kind established in the Old World, have often been started to achieve founders’ dreams of offering the best products to the people.
Purpose has driven their growth as well as the development of their long-lasting resilient organizations.
Achieving goals that are bigger than us, and therefore leveraging a business structure as a platform for social good, is something fostered also today by the flourishing wave of responsible business movements, such as Benefit Corporations, the Triple-Bottom-Line Framework and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
What is it like to run and grow such businesses? What does success mean to them?
Through the comparison of international best practices and Italian claimed sustainable companies, participants in this program will conduct a hands-on introspection to the subject.
