Being a Benefit Corporation

DVArea is the first design services company established as a non-profit organisation focused on the well-being of people and the environment. This decision stems from a commitment to equal emphasis on economic value and social and environmental benefit in business management, guided by a systemic and long-term vision. Our commitment goes beyond integrated planning by implementing concrete and innovative solutions that have a positive impact on the local community and the environment in line with ESG criteria.

DVArea is a member of Assobenefit, the national association for non-profit companies, with the aim of actively contributing to the dissemination of a business model centred on sustainability and shared value creation.

The values
that unite us

We believe that architecture and design should serve to improve the quality of life and have a positive and lasting impact on the communities and areas in which we operate.
We live on a fragile planet — an ecosystem where even the smallest change can disrupt the fundamental balance and have unpredictable consequences.

DVArea recognises that the role of architects and technical professionals is crucial in shaping a sustainable future and has decided to meet the challenges of the new millennium by adopting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a fundamental reference for all its activities.

The values that guide our commitment were developed in a participatory process during a workshop attended by the entire DVArea team. This open and collaborative exchange made it possible to gather insights, sensitivities and proposals that were later structured and consolidated by the committee.
A process that strengthens our sense of internal cohesion and collective responsibility — the basis for everything we do.

Passion

It is the driving force that spurs us on to give our best — with enthusiasm and consistency, — even in difficult times. It is the love of our work, the desire to make a difference and a deep alignment with our core values.

Respect

It is the foundation of authentic relationships: Recognising and valuing others — people, environments, ideas — by listening, caring and trusting, even in diversity.

Collaboration

This means building together, combining skills and visions in an ongoing exchange where interdependence and mutual support create shared value.

Participation

It is the active and conscious involvement of all stakeholders to follow a common and generative path.

Efficiency

This is the ability to manage time, resources and processes intelligently and carefully to maximise impact and minimise waste.

Responsibility

We are committed to acting with awareness of the consequences of our actions and respecting the collective wellbeing, future generations and the planet.

Quality

It is the continuous pursuit of excellence — from design to execution — as a concrete expression of care, expertise and consistency with our values.

Initiatives

Every project we undertake is an act of responsibility — a delicate balance between creativity, innovation and care for people and the environment.
A few examples clearly show how our values take shape through concrete and consistent action.
