Beautiful glasses, creating
value
Since 1990 leader in the world
of creative eyewear design VANNI
today takes on the form of a “Società Benefit” (Benefit Corporation), a
corporate typology (introduced in Italy by law) that applies to the companies
that pursue objectives of common good- beyond those of profit- in their
corporate purpose.
As stated by the president of
VANNI, Giovanni Vitaloni: “For us, the pandemic
has been a moment to redesign and rethink. We did not want to let this moment
pass without making something of it. From here came the urgency to bring about,
through the activities of the company, a medium to long-term change in both the
social and environmental impact we produce, in response to the foreseen
challenges of the next ten years. It is not a surface-level makeover, but
rather an undertaking of substantial responsibility.
As
such, it is important to make visible, and thereby measurable, a model of good
business that we believe to have embodied from the start. We seek to emphasise
this by adding the objective of common good into our statute, involving our
partners in the process of change as well.”
At VANNI We care, is our new vision.
Alessandra Girardi, co-owner of VANNI, continues: “from today on, guided by the new goals outlined in the statute, VANNI
will give life to a “plan of action” that will create multiple areas of work,
to be developed through concrete action for progressive improvement and a
constant striving toward our objectives. Being sustainable today means
managing, with attention and care, all of impacts of the business on our
community and on nature, encouraging the spread of positive and responsible
practices to those who work with us.”
