Planetek Italia Srl - Benefit Company
In April 2021, Planetek Italia has reinforced its commitment to promoting a generative business model pursuing higher standards of well-being for people and environmental protection, evolving into a "Benefit Company", and stating the purposes of common benefit in the corporate statute.
For Planetek Italia, it means to adopt a business model that aims to operate in a responsible, sustainable and transparent way towards people, communities, the environment, cultural and social assets and activities, organizations and associations, and other stakeholders.
Planetek's Sustainability Report
In 2022, we joined Assobenefit, the Italian Association of Benefit Companies, and published the first Sustainability Report.
The sustainability assessment tool we have chosen is the Open-es digital platform, developed by Eni, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Google Cloud. Open-es allows companies to measure Sustainability Performance in 4 dimensions: People, Planet, Prosperity and Governance Principles. A model based on the 4 Pillars of the Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics released by the World Economic Forum.
The results of the first report show an excellent sustainability performance level of Planetek Italia, already at the highest levels among companies in the ICT and Aerospace sector. This is just the starting point of our future improvements and challenges.
