Commitment
Creating value is Alessi’s mission—the driving force and ultimate purpose of its business activities, and the highest expression of its social, industrial, and economic impact.
Social Responsibility
For Alessi, Corporate Social Responsibility is not an abstract concept, but is grounded in a dual approach that works in a complementary way. On one hand, there is the core activity, or “Ordinary,” which consists of carrying out our work with care in order to generate economic value in a fair and responsible manner. In practical terms, this means meeting market needs with products that contribute positively to people’s lives, while at the same time organizing and valuing the work of those who create them. On the other hand, there is a commitment that goes beyond the ordinary, or “Extraordinary,” expressed through cultural, social, and environmental initiatives that extend past a purely business-driven logic and reflect a special attention to the community and the broader context in which we operate. These two dimensions are neither separate nor opposed. At Alessi, the well-being of society and the success of the company are mutually reinforcing, grounded in the awareness that, over the long term, one cannot thrive without the other.
B Corp
Alessi is part of a global movement of companies that choose to use business as a regenerative force for society. Becoming a B Corp means measuring success not only by profits, but also by the well-being of employees, communities, and the planet. For us, this certification formally expresses what has always been at the heart of the way we do business: the constant pursuit of balance among people, product, and profit. In 2017, Alessi became the first Italian Design Factory to achieve this certification. We do not view this certification as a final destination, but rather as a fundamental milestone in an ongoing journey. It represents a daily commitment that drives us to continually redefine our standards of responsibility toward people and the planet.
Società Benefit
In 2020, Alessi took a further step forward by becoming a Benefit Corporation—the first Italian Design Factory to make this choice. This legal status formally integrates into our corporate bylaws, alongside the pursuit of profit, a commitment to generating a common benefit: creating positive effects (or reducing negative ones) for people, the community, and the environment. By adopting this structure, Alessi reaffirms its commitment to the public value of business: improving society not only by generating wealth, but by giving meaning and dignity to work and making a positive impact on quality of life.
Safety and Environment
In creating our design objects, Alessi places two fundamental values at the center of its work: the safety of people and respect for the environment. Our approach goes beyond mere regulatory compliance to embrace a true culture of responsibility. Every day, we work to ensure that each stage of the production process—from design to end of life—continuously reduces its environmental impact.At the same time, we regard workplace safety as a non-negotiable pillar of our social ethics. We believe in an environment where the dignity, health, and well-being of our people form the essential foundation for any standard of manufacturing excellence.
Policies and Certifications
Operating in compliance with regulations and upholding social responsibility is a core value for us, guiding every relationship with our stakeholders and the communities we engage with. This section makes our Policies public, which set strict ethical and operational standards, as well as the Corporate Certifications we have obtained.
