Business and impact
We are B Corp.
We measure our impact and integrate social, environmental and governance responsibility into the way we do business. The same experience today becomes competence at the service of companies that want to undertake a B Corp path.
What does it mean
A certification that concerns the way of doing business.
Being B Corp does not simply mean declaring yourself sustainable. It means subjecting the organisation to standards and audits that consider the company’s impact on people, the community and the environment.
Measuring
Evaluate with data and evidence the practices and impacts of the organisation.
Involve
Consider people, customers, communities, territory and environment in business decisions.
Verify
Address a structured path of assessment, documentation and verification.
Improving
Use certification as part of a continuous process, not as an isolated goal.
Two different instruments
B Corp and Benefit Companies are not synonymous.
Progestus is both. They are two distinct instruments that bring in the business model a wider responsibility than the economic result alone.
Legal form
Benefit company
It integrates into the statute objectives of common benefit and the commitment to operate in a responsible, sustainable and transparent way towards stakeholders.
- Objectives of common benefit
- Responsibilities towards stakeholders
- Annual Impact Report
Certification
B Corp
It assesses the performance and practices of the organisation through the standards defined by B Lab and a dedicated verification process.
- Impact assessment
- Evidence and verification process
- Requirements to be maintained over time
Our path
Before accompanying other companies, we started with us.
The Benefit and B Corp path has gradually entered our way of working, becoming part of our identity and the skills we make available to customers.
The first step
Progesto is approaching the Benefit Societies model.
Benefit company
Progesto formally integrates common benefit objectives into its corporate model.
Certified B Corp
In September Progesto obtained the B Corp certification.
B Corp Consultant
Julia Faccin completes the B Corp Consultants program at B Lab Europe.
Transparency
Our Impact Relations.
As a Benefit Company, we report annually on activities, results and objectives related to our common benefit goals. The Impact Reports transparently describe Progesto’s path towards an increasingly responsible business model.

From experience to advice
A path that we also know from the inside.
Julia Faccin is B Corp Consultant and supports companies that want to face the path towards certification with a structured method, from the initial assessment to the preparation of the necessary evidence and activities.
The value of the support also starts from the direct experience gained by Progesto in its path as a Benefit Company and B Corp.
Consulting B Corp
The path starts from how your company works.
There is no one-size-fits-all shortcut. The work starts from the real situation of the organisation, the available evidence and the areas where action is needed.
Initial assessment
We analyze the starting point, the company structure and the information already available.
Gap analysis
We identify areas that require action, data, procedures or more formalization.
Improvement plan
We define concrete priorities and activities, consistent with the size, organisation and objectives of the company.
Evidence and documentation
We support the collection and organisation of the information necessary for the certification process.
Preparation for certification
We support the company in the subsequent stages of the process and in the management of in-depth requests.
