We are a certified BCorp®.
On July 31, 2023, we achieved BCorp certification with a score of 91.1 points, an excellent result considering that of the more than 110,000 companies that have used the Benefit Impact Assessment (BIA), only 3 percent manage to reach 80 points, the minimum threshold to go through the verification process by B Lab. This certification verifies and ensures that a company operates according to the highest standards of social and environmental performance.
Certification Notice
"B Corporation Certification" is a mark that is licensed by B Lab, a private nonprofit organization, to companies like ours that have successfully passed the B Impact Assessment ("BIA") and thus meet B Lab's requirements for social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
It is specified that B Lab is not a conformity assessment body under Regulation (EU) No. 765/2008 or a national, European or international standards body under Regulation (EU) No. 1025/2012. BIA's criteria are distinct and autonomous from harmonized standards resulting from ISO or other standardization bodies and are not ratified by national or European public institutions.
The following impact areas were assessed by the BIA:
Governance
The assessment has commendably recognized our overall mission, transparency, and ethical practices. Moreover, it has acknowledged that Tirelli & Partners' mission is firmly rooted in a regenerative model of growth.
Workers
The assessment has favorably evaluated our dedication to the well-being of all employees through the equitable distribution of both financial and non-financial benefits, and the establishment of a collaborative environment based on solidarity.
Community
The assessment has highly regarded the company's earnest efforts to generate a positive economic and social impact, including the commitment to donate an amount equivalent to 2% of the annual turnover or 20% of yearly profits each year.
Environment
The assessment has positively acknowledged Tirelli & Partners' endeavors to curtail its CO2 emissions, as well as its initiative to offset its annual environmental impact through a reforestation project with a solid social impact.
A real estate company with a vision
We imagine
a fair, clean and humane world.
We believe
in people and solidarity-based collaboration.
We work
to build relationships based on care, respect and dedication, inside the company and with all those we meet.
We are committed
everyday to create and inspire our community to adopt a socially responsible and sustainable business model. Because we are aware of the purpose of our work, we know we will make mistakes, fail forward and stand up again without losing the meaning of our actions.
Environmental policy
We understand the importance of safeguarding the environment as a primary resource, and we're committed to protecting it through our daily actions and the attention of all our employees, viewing the natural world as an integral part of our operations.
We've adopted sustainable business practices to minimize the impact of our actions on the environment, managing the workplace responsibly, avoiding waste and minimising the production of rubbish and emissions. We thus support behaviours with low environmental impact, and we purchase and use materials, products and services with the best environmental ratings whenever possible. That's true both in-house and for all external collaborators. All our employees are allowed to bring items that require special recycling or disposal procedures to the company offices, so that the company itself may dispose of them properly.
In order to clearly identify the environmental impact of our business and to verify our progress in relation to pre-established environmental goals, we carefully monitor our environmental impact in terms of CO2 emissions using this tool:
Our Social policy
To foster human relations that valorize people to contribute to common good. For that reason, our ‘being’ is ‘being socially responsible’, a formula we apply while building a business model that:
exemplifies and demonstrates the potential of a "non-extractive" economic framework, one that rejects the exploitation of individuals, the propagation of excessive inequalities, wastage, and heedless pollution;
through supportive, fair collaboration, rewards things that are "done well" and not those "done alone", eliminating the socially unacceptable effects of meritocracy;
fosters and aids in cultivating human relationships, extending beyond mere economic-financial interactions;
harnesses profit as a vehicle for fostering happiness within our company and beyond, reframing it as a conduit rather than a sole objective.
To us, happiness is a priority. The first line of our articles of association states that idea clearly: "Our ultimate goal is the pursuit of the wellness and happiness of all those who are a part of Tirelli & Partners srl, a benefit corporation, by allowing them to work in a fair, supportive, motivating environment and to participate in a business where prosperity is to be shared, and where exploiting people and creating excessive inequality is prohibited".
Here are a few of the concrete actions we take to implement our social policy:
the highest annual salary at the company may not be more than seven times that of the lowest annual salary. If that happens, we intervene with an additional bonus to make up for the difference;
we've replaced meritocracy with supportive, fair collaboration. All employees should feel free to ask their manager or colleagues for help, knowing that their pay won’t be any less than if they had complete the job successfully on their own;
we have "safe spaces" dedicated to cultural activities, shared experiences or simply spending time together throughout the workday, in which work-related topics are prohibited;
we are committed to donating the lesser of either 2% of our turnover or 20% of our profits to charity each year;
we allocate up to 50 hours of paid annual leave to each employee for voluntary or pro-bono activities.
