About Us
Sustainability
Come società di Executive Search consideriamo la sostenibilità un elemento cardine del nostro lavoro: operiamo con l’obiettivo di creare un impatto positivo sulle persone, l’ambiente e il mercato.
Our desire is to contribute to the definition of a new business model capable of truly generating shared, long-lasting prosperity both for the organisation and for its managers.
B CORP CERTIFICATION
In March 2022 Onexecutive obtained the B Corp certification, a prestigious recognition confirming that the company operates according to the highest standards of social and environmental performance and of governance. The first milestone of the certification process, started in 2020, was achieved in August 2021 permitting the transition to a Benefit Corporation. This involved the amendment of the articles of association, with ‘common benefit’ being added into the purposes.
A distanza di pochi mesi, Onexecutive ha raggiunto la certificazione B Corp che distingue le aziende che si impegnano quotidianamente per massimizzare il proprio impatto positivo verso le persone, le comunità in cui operano e l’ambiente.
A SPECIFIC METHODOLOGY TO EVALUATE THE SKILL SET OF THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGER
We work to foster the development and growth of a generation of entrepreneurs and managers who place sustainability at the heart of their business role.
This is why we have created a specific methodology to assess the ‘Skill Set of the Sustainability Manager’.
It is a methodology that first identifies and then evaluates the implications of what it means to be a sustainability manager, who then, regardless of the department they belong to, express and transfer the core values.

About Us
Diversity
We recognise the importance of gender, cultural, and racial differences and see these as values and a competitive advantage, because diversity is an asset.

CHARITY

Charity
Our attitude to sustainability and our solid and focused attention on people has led us over the years to support various charitable actions, contributing to specific projects whose values, aims and activities we share. We act promptly to support, through concrete actions, people in need and emergencies with the aim to favour an equal world. We believe that business finds its meaning and purpose in these thoughts.
In the past we collaborated with Childcare Worldwide Italia Onlus, Save the Children, Uniti per Crescere and the Community of Sant’Egidio Today we cultivate a direct relationship, aimed at contributing to specific projects, with non-profit organisation Childcare Worldwide Italia in Italy, and with World Food Programme – ShareTheMeal and the project Clinica Movel of Dr Donisio Cumbà abroad.
THE PARTNERSHIP WITH AIRC
Onexecutive supports AIRC in the paediatric cancer research. Moreover, we contribute to the research project of Doctor Paola Capello’s team, financed by AIRC Foundation, that aims to find an effective treatment for the pancreatic cancer: one of the most aggressive tumour.
WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME – SHARETHEMEAL
ShareTheMeal is an initiative from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the largest humanitarian agency engaged in the battle against hunger.
Every year, the World Food Programme reaches more than 86 million people with food assistance, in 83 countries. Onexecutive supports this project by helping to fight world hunger through donations to provide food assistance in emergencies, intervening in some of the world’s most dramatic food crises.
CLINICA MOVEL
Dr Dionisio Cumbà is paediatric surgeon and Minister of Health of Guinea Bissau, who fights to change and innovate the national health system, which is seriously deficient. Onexecutive supports his project Clinica Movel: a place to visit, provide free medicines and health education in the Guinea Bissau internal villages.
The São Josè em Bôr hospital is the only paediatric hospital in Guinea Bissau. It is a non-profit hospital built in 2007 thanks to Dr Dionisio Cumbà and Padre Ermanno Battisti. Many mothers are not able to take their children to the hospital. For this reason, Dionisio Cumbà, with the support of Progetto Anna Onlus, has created the project named Clinica Movel: a mobile hospital which every Saturday moves to one of the internal villages to provide medicines and medical treatments.
