Building a Benefit Culture: a New Year for the Practice Community

After the positive results of the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 editions, the Benefit Corporations Community of Practice returns with the third edition of Fit4Benefit: a peer learning and networking program launched by Torino Social Impact, dedicated both to Benefit Corporations and to all organizations interested in exploring and experimenting with this model.

The launch event, “Building a Benefit Culture: a New Year for the Practice Community”, will take place on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am (reception and welcome coffee from 8:30 am) at the Sale Sindacali – Unione Industriali Torino, Via V. Vela 21, Turin.

The goal of this program is to ensure that the knowledge, tools, and solutions generated do not remain confined to the meetings but become a shared asset, capable of evolving and influencing other processes, thereby contributing to the dissemination of a true benefit culture.
