Impact, Società Benefit and ESG

Technology that generates sustainable value

The future of business is collaborative

Tomorrow’s challenges are not met alone. They grow out of the decisions that companies, suppliers and partners take today.

As a Società Benefit — an Italian benefit corporation — Infordata combines technological innovation with corporate responsibility towards one precise goal: helping to build processes, services and supply chains that are more transparent, measurable, secure and sustainable.

For us, innovating does not simply mean adding technology. It means using data, software, AI, IoT and automation to make visible what was not visible before, to improve decisions, and to turn sustainability and responsibility objectives into concrete, verifiable action.

Our daily work affects more than our partners’ results: it affects the ecosystem all of us operate in. That is why we believe in technology capable of creating economic value and shared value at the same time.

Why choose a Società Benefit as a partner

Being a Società Benefit is not a sustainability claim. It means having written specific common-benefit purposes into the articles of association, and committing to pursue them through objectives, actions and impact measurement.

For a B2B customer it means being able to work with a technology partner that considers, at design time, the aspects that are becoming increasingly important in industrial supply chains and in procurement processes.

A partner that fits your ESG supply chain

Large organisations increasingly ask their suppliers for information on sustainability, security, data governance and supply chain responsibility.

Working with a Società Benefit can help build a more structured and documentable supply chain, making available processes, data and evidence that are useful for vendor assessments, ESG policies and responsible procurement.

Projects designed to be measurable

Digitising a process is not enough: you need to know whether it is actually improving.

That is why we favour solutions that make it possible to collect data, define indicators, monitor events, and keep performance, consumption, anomalies and areas for improvement verifiable over time.

Technology designed to last

Efficiency is not only about speed.

Software architectures, infrastructure, devices and services are also assessed against maintainability, room to evolve, interoperability, resource optimisation and life cycle.

Data and AI, responsibly

When we use data and artificial intelligence, privacy by design, security by design, data quality and human oversight are part of the project from the outset.

Trust is not a feature to be added at the end: it is a requirement of the architecture.

A relationship built for the long term

A sustainable supply chain needs partners able to connect operational needs, innovation, security, compliance and medium to long-term objectives.

Our aim is not to supply a single product, but to build solutions that can grow and evolve alongside the organisation using them.

Our common-benefit purposes

The purposes written into Infordata’s articles of association are the frame within which we develop our business model and our solutions.

Sustainable digitisation

Designing and spreading IT solutions and practices aimed at reducing consumption and environmental impact.

For our customers this means attention to Green IT, infrastructure optimisation, application efficiency, considered use of resources and longer device life cycles.

Accessible and inclusive digital services

Technology creates value when it genuinely simplifies work and makes services more accessible.

We design solutions aimed at improving usability, interoperability and accessibility, reducing complexity and administrative burden for companies, public bodies and users.

People and equal opportunity

Innovation and organisation have to evolve together.

We promote wellbeing, safety, training, professional development, work-life balance and equal opportunity. The same approach guides the design of technologies that keep people at the centre of decision-making.

Ethics of data and artificial intelligence

We develop and promote practices of trustworthy AI, privacy by design and security by design.

In AI engineering, computer vision, automation and knowledge management projects we work to keep purposes, data, responsibilities and human control clearly defined.

Supply chain and territory

We believe innovation also means collaboration.

We encourage responsible supply chain practices, relationships with universities and research centres, skills transfer, and initiatives able to generate value for the territory and the ecosystems we operate in.

Making sustainability measurable

Sustainability needs reliable data.

Many environmental or efficiency objectives only become genuinely manageable once you can observe what is happening: where an asset is, how it is used, which conditions change, where waste is generated, or when an anomaly appears.

This is where Infordata’s long-standing skills in traceability and monitoring meet IoT, artificial intelligence and sustainability.

We can integrate technologies such as:

• IoT and IIoT sensors to collect data from environments, plant and processes;
• RFID, QR, NFC and automatic identification systems to track goods, materials, tools and operations;
• monitoring platforms and dashboards to turn distributed data into usable information;
• data analytics and artificial intelligence to identify anomalies, patterns and priorities;
• computer vision to automate observation, classification and inspection work;
• integration with ERP, management systems and existing platforms to avoid information silos;
• alerts and automations to turn a recorded reading into an operational action.

From traceability to continuous improvement

Depending on the specific use case, our solutions can support:

Environmental monitoring

Collecting and integrating data from sensors and heterogeneous sources to observe environmental conditions, water, land and infrastructure.

Traceability of assets and materials

Identification and history of movements, assignments, uses and returns through RFID and digital technologies.

Efficiency of processes and resources

Identifying anomalies, unproductive time, suboptimal use and opportunities for automation.

Maintenance and asset management

Operational data that supports preventive maintenance, life cycle management and better plant availability.

Quality and operational control

Sensors, analytics and computer vision to make more systematic the checks that would otherwise require manual inspection.

Data to support ESG work

Collecting evidence and indicators that can support internal sustainability management, supply chain requests and the organisation’s reporting processes.

Technology does not replace an ESG strategy and does not automatically make a company more sustainable. What it can provide is a far more solid basis for measuring, checking and improving the decisions that make sustainability real.

Innovation applied to the environment and the territory

The same skills we have used for years in automatic identification, access control, IoT and data analysis are also applied to research and innovation projects dedicated to environmental monitoring, risk prevention, water quality, the circular economy and ecosystem protection.

These projects let us transfer to customers and partners methods, technologies and skills born in advanced research settings, and turn them — where the use case allows — into working solutions.

From the sensor to the data platform, from collecting the information to the decision: making a phenomenon measurable is often the first step towards improving it.

A more transparent supply chain, together

For us, being a Società Benefit means looking beyond the boundary of the individual supply.

It means asking ourselves how a solution is designed, what data it generates, what resources it uses, how long it can last, how it is managed over time, and what value it can produce for customers, people and the territory.

The future of business is collaborative.

That is why we want to work with customers and partners who share the same ambition: to use technology and innovation not only to do more, but to measure better, choose better and generate value that lasts.

A commitment that is measured

Our common-benefit purposes are built into company governance through annual objectives, action plans and indicators across the environment, people, stakeholders and corporate governance.

Infordata also appoints an Impact Manager, uses an external assessment standard compliant with Società Benefit legislation, and publishes its Impact Report every year.

Transparency, for us, means keeping the path of improvement verifiable over time. We have been a Società Benefit since 10 December 2025.

The 2025 numbers

These are the figures in the 2025 Impact Report, a public document filed with the financial statements.

⭐ The third number is the one that describes us best. Almost six salary euros in ten, in this company, pay for research rather than for producing what has been ordered. For a twenty-four-person firm selling access control systems that is an unusual allocation, and it is the reason why part of what we do does not have a price list yet.

An indicator we did not set ourselves

In the 2024 Plimsoll industry analysis of Italian companies in our sector:

• € 219,000 of sales per employee, against a sector average of € 178,000;
• 48th out of 152 companies in the sector for productivity.

We cite it because it is a comparison made by a third party using the same yardstick for everyone, which is the only kind of ranking that means anything.

Questions we get asked

Are Società Benefit and B Corp the same thing?

No, and this is the most common confusion. Società Benefit is an Italian legal form: you adopt it by amending your articles of association, and it carries reporting obligations. B Corp is a certification issued by a private third-party organisation, with a minimum score to reach. A company can hold both, one or neither. We are a Società Benefit.

Who verifies what you write in the impact report?

The report is filed with the financial statements and follows their fate. There is no body that certifies it: there is an obligation to publish it and responsibility for what it says. That is why the numbers here are the ones in the report, with no rounding upwards.

Why does an access control company work on the environment?

Because we got there through the technology, not through the marketing. The skills needed to count people at a gate — sensors, real-time data, models that recognise an anomaly — are the same ones needed to measure the quality of a body of water or recognise litter on a beach. acquamArIna started exactly there.

Do you publish full financial results?

We publish what is in the impact report and in the filed financial statements. Margins by product line, internal pricing and per-customer data we do not publish, like every other company in our sector.
