Zadìg Società Benefit

Since its incorporation in July 1993, Zadig has chosen to clearly define its commitment to ethics, embracing values such as respect for individuals and the law, professional integrity, transparency, the scientific method, independence from partisan interests, and the quality of its services and products.

This commitment was reaffirmed and strengthened in 2021, when Zadig changed its legal status to become a Benefit Corporation. This designation reflects a company’s decision to integrate, alongside profit-making goals, the objective of generating a positive impact on society and the biosphere.

To maintain its Benefit Corporation status — established under Italian Law No. 208 of 28 December 2015, Article 1, paragraphs 376–384 — Zadig undergoes regular third-party assessments.

As a Benefit Corporation, Zadig is committed to pursuing goals of common benefit and operating responsibly, sustainably, and transparently in its relationships with individuals, communities, the environment, cultural and social assets and activities, organizations, and all other stakeholders.

• Supporting the development and enrichment of the communities where the company operates by contributing to cultural identity and social well-being at both national and local levels.
