PREMISE:
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 relationships, in a vision of sustainable growth of the planet, with developing countries, relationships 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 to partnerships where attention to the values of globality and well-being understood as personal and social growth are prerogatives for weaving business projects
– design and develop creative communication and marketing projects at the service of sustainable development with attention to the promotion of culture and multiculturalism.
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)
Actions implemented 2017:
A) We managed to present the project to Permicro (permicro.it) and obtain a business microfinancing that allowed us to develop the prototype of the line. We defined the formulations with the Ahura laboratory and made agreements with partners to arrive at sustainable packaging (tubettificiofavia.it – favini.it). We decided to wait to request the B Corp certification, which is useless until the company turnover reaches break even.
B) We defined the quality standards necessary for the oils with the partner in Burkina Faso. We completed the organic certifications and managed the logistics with related customs clearance
C) We did a training as a company on the web marketing part, starting from the definition and positioning of the brand, which allowed us to arrive at a definition of the company profile consistent with our brand.
Results achieved 2017:
A) we obtained a micro business loan based on the quality of the project, we defined a BP with a serious and careful analysis of the real production costs
We verified, analyzed, imported, cleared 100kg of oils between Burkina Faso and Morocco for our dermocosmetics production, with a positive final feedback from both the customer and sales.
B) We found 1 company (Italy) that, due to its history, operating method and certification, gives us guarantees on the traceability and sustainability of their projects. The formulation of the face cream involves them
C) We set up the commercial project
2018 Indicators:
A) Development of the Alveare network as a social impact on the Italian territory
B) modification of the statute in an innovative start-up and search for an investor
