PREMESSA:
Eywa hard fun srls società benefit was founded in September 2016.
The company is a point of arrival and departure of a twenty-year journey.
A point of arrival of twenty years of collaboration with developing countries, in particular with Burkina Faso through business and social inclusion projects promoted by non-profit organizations.
Today, the desire to contribute to positive and sustainable growth in the world leads us to embrace the paradigm of benefit companies, as a viable path, as an appropriate tool that maintains the values that have moved us for twenty years and also allows us to achieve new goals with greater determination and clarity in an organic, transparent and measurable way.
We are a start-up, we are in a construction phase, the benefit company in its values and in its rigorous way of presenting itself is today for us the primary tool with which to work, define strategies and make choices.
We have decided to use the BIA (B Impact Assessment) tool for the impact assessments of the four areas of interest required for drafting the report to be attached to the financial statement.
The company has the following specific objectives of common benefit:
– develop traceable, transparent and coherent commercial relations, in a vision of sustainable growth of the planet, with developing countries, relations that are opportunities for work, training and social growth in the territories, in local communities and for partners in the North of the world.
– In Italy, sensitivity will be directed towards partnerships where attention to the values of globality and well-being understood as personal and social growth are prerogatives for weaving business projects.
– to design and develop creative communication and marketing projects at the service of sustainable development with a focus on the promotion of culture and multiculturalism.
Indicators 2016:
A) consolidate existing relationships with partners in Burkina Faso.
B) establish new relationships for the search for raw materials.
C) research and evaluate realities in Italy that share the paradigm of benefit companies.
Actions implemented 2016:
Actions implemented 2016 A) Through a series of trips we met local producers, we started with them a path of awareness and training towards the production standards required by the world of cosmetics, we traced the foundations for a standardization of the collection, extraction and storage system of processed seeds.
B) We started to do research starting from the network built over the years, presenting our project and verifying the basic requirements of the subjects met to understand if there were the foundations for an agreement and implementation of raw materials.
C) We started a research in Italy to find partners who make the entire production cycle feasible, selecting companies that share and apply the paradigm of benefit companies.
Results achieved 2016:
A) We have verified the entire production cycle of oils in Burkina Faso, spoken to the communities and discussed with the ECOCERT office in Ouagadougou (capital of Burkina Faso) to verify the improvements needed to accompany the companies to achieve certification.
We have verified, analyzed, imported, cleared 100kg of oils for our dermocosmetics production, with positive final feedback from both the customer and sales.
B) We have found 2 companies (Morocco and Kenya) that, due to their history, operating methods and certification, give us guarantees on the traceability and sustainability of their projects. So we imagine adding their semi-finished products to the offer for the production of our dermocosmetics products.
C) We have found 1 partner benefit company that fully meets our needs for research, processing and packaging of the product
2017 indicators:
A) Submission of the application for ECOCERT certification for oils from Burkina Faso,
submission of our BIA Assessment to B lab for the request for registration as a “Pending B corp”
B) Written agreements with producers and production partners already involved in the production cycle
C) Reach 300kg of imports from Burkina, 50kg from Morocco, 50kg from Kenya
D) Identify companies in Italy that can offer us additional raw materials with traceable routes and projects related to social inclusion and environmental protection.
E) Identify other partners who are benefit companies, B Corporations, or have strong and certified affinities with the benefit company paradigm so that the entire production cycle of the products is as close as possible to our strategy and to achieving a sufficient score for BIA Assessment (80 points)
