The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development marks an unavoidable path to which institutions, organizations, individuals, and therefore also companies are called upon to contribute by adopting responsible and sustainable corporate behavior. In order to pursue corporate sustainability, that is, the concrete commitment of a company that is attentive to the environment, social welfare and fair and forward-looking governance, several tools are available that enable companies to be able to communicate their efforts based on verifiable and transparent data. CEPRA can support companies toward a strategic and integrated approach to sustainability by adopting several official, concrete and recognized tools (product and process certifications). In fact, a company with relevant certifications for the relevant sector can enjoy a competitive advantage over other non-certified companies:
Corporate certifications help companies in complying with current regulations and laws in their industry, and often even though they are voluntary in nature they may be required by institutions to ensure that companies are operating properly and safely.
Corporate certifications provide a better understanding of business processes resulting in the identification of areas for streamlining and improving environmental performance
Corporate certifications serve as attestations of quality, reliability and competence to stakeholders (customers, partners, investors, regulators) and with respect to possible competitors help improve the company’s image in the marketplace and to consumers
Certifications may be required to compete in certain calls and tenders and/or to obtain subsidized financing.
