The third pillar concerns CIFA’s impact on society and the local territory.
Specifically, the company aims to act on its supply chain, on the construction site context, and on the surrounding territory.
Strengthening the supply chain is a key focus for CIFA, as it allows the company to enhance local skills by sharing vision, values, and objectives. Consolidation, both with suppliers and customers, enables a coordinated response to crises through an ecosystem in which companies grow organically and create value for the territory.
Beyond its supply chain, the company also cares for the communities and territories in which it operates, creating and nurturing relationships with diverse stakeholders in its ecosystem to promote values and raise awareness on social and environmental issues even outside company walls.
Finally, some specific projects have been developed with the aim of creating a bridge between education and work: CIFA wants to play an active role in the educational path of young people in the local area.
Ethical value chain
More and more companies are focusing on improving and strengthening relationships with actors in their supply chain. The goal is to establish solid long-term agreements to achieve mutual benefits; moreover, only a well-integrated and organized supply chain allows for a true and complete sustainable transition of the entire sector.
Sharing perspectives, knowledge, objectives, and values along the supply chain allows the company to establish long-term agreements based on mutual trust, which positively impact the operations of the companies involved, the lives of workers and their communities, and the environment.

Strong community
The number of companies in Italy dedicating part of their resources to projects for the development of their local territory has grown significantly in recent years. CIFA’s main goal is to generate positive value for the territory to care for its community. Networking is the best tool to deepen knowledge of the territory, activate useful collaborations, and develop relationships that strengthen the company’s local presence.
Networking also means sharing knowledge derived from the company’s expertise as well as from the local partners it collaborates with. It is ultimately a ‘fair and supportive’ exchange benefiting both parties through highly skilled professionals. Companies active in this area often play an enabling role in collaborative processes, experimenting with innovative initiatives and implementing social projects that benefit the community.
