THE GROUP

OUR PRESENT
A significant milestone has been reached: on April 8, 2021, by Notary Deed, Arca Etichette S.p.A., Etifix srl, and Arca Sleeves srl officially became Benefit Corporations.
Being a Benefit Corporation highlights our “dual-purpose” approach to management—pursuing not only profit but also specific objectives of common benefit, with the goal of generating a measurable positive impact on the community, the environment, and all stakeholders, in a responsible, sustainable, and transparent way.
This evolution allows us to safeguard our corporate, social, and environmental values while strengthening our capacity for long-term growth.
We believe that if a Value isn’t shared, it isn’t truly a Value.
As a Benefit Corporation, our values will be monitored and measured over time through an Impact Report, enabling us to pursue increasingly innovative solutions in both social and environmental spheres.

A NEW BUSINESS MODEL

Both represent the global movement of companies that want to use business as a positive force also for socio-environmental improvement. They have in common high standards of accountability and transparency, as well as missions aimed at solving the challenging problems of society.
However, there are some important differences.
Benefit Corporation status is a legal form, while B Corp is a certification. Companies can become Benefit Corporations only in countries which adopt it in their legislation, such as in Italy. The B Corp certification can be achieved, in any country, by companies able to demonstrate their corporate, environmental and social commitment, according to a complex certification scheme of the BLab international Body, the only accredited Body for certification.
