Paradisi renews B-Corp certification: a milestone celebrating commitment to community and sustainability

Paradisi has successfully renewed its B-Corp certification, achieving a score of 107.7. This milestone reinforces our ongoing dedication to our local community, employees, and sustainable practices. As a certified B-Corp, Paradisi strives to embody a business model that transcends profit, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and measurable positive impact.

The B-Corp Movement: A New Paradigm for Paradisi

Being a B-Corp means joining a global movement of companies focused on creating value for all stakeholders, from employees to the broader community and the environment. With this philosophy, Paradisi has consistently stood out for its commitment to local development and respect for the people who form our ecosystem. We naturally embraced the principles of a B-Corp even before officially becoming a Benefit Corporation in 2016.

Our dedication to the local community translates into tangible actions, such as sourcing 93.3% of our suppliers locally. Supporting the local economic and social fabric is central to our vision, as is our continuous support for employees. Investing in education and family support — including contributions for childcare and summer camps — forms the cornerstone of our work environment. We believe that business growth starts with the well-being of the people who stand by us every day.

Environmental Stewardship and Social Innovation

Environmental responsibility is a core pillar of our mission. In 2023, we increased our production of clean energy with a photovoltaic system covering 10% of our energy needs and adopted extensive material recovery practices, with over 90% of waste reintegrated into our production cycles. This commitment is not just an investment in sustainability but also a step towards reducing our environmental impact through responsible innovation.

Achieving a score of 107.7 across various impact areas highlights the effectiveness of our efforts:

• Governance: 18.3

• Workers: 23.5

• Community: 18.4

• Environment: 44.5

• Customers: 2.3

These results not only validate our dedication but also motivate us to keep innovating for continuous improvement. Paradisi remains steadfast in maintaining a dynamic balance between tradition and innovation, profit and social responsibility.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our employees, partners, and clients for their ongoing support and trust. With their help, we will continue to pursue our vision of responsible business — an enterprise that truly acts as a positive and regenerative force for society.
