This final paper describes the internship experience carried out at Fondazione Ometto E.T.S., a Third Sector organization committed to promoting cardioprotection across the local area. After presenting the organization, its internal structure and the competitive environment in which it operates, the paper explores the role of ESG criteria and corporate reputation in collaborations between companies and socially oriented organizations. The thematic analysis examines how the growing attention to sustainability and corporate social responsibility has increased the reputational and strategic value of social initiatives. In this context, companies may be encouraged to support concrete projects, such as those promoted by the Foundation, not only for altruistic purposes, but also to strengthen their reputation and improve relationships with stakeholders. By referring to Stakeholder Theory and Porter and Kramer’s concept of shared value, the paper highlights that corporate reputation and social impact are not necessarily in conflict. On the contrary, reputational returns can encourage greater corporate involvement in initiatives capable of generating benefits for both the company and the community.
Il presente elaborato finale descrive l’esperienza di stage svolta presso Fondazione Ometto E.T.S., ente del Terzo Settore impegnato nella diffusione della cardioprotezione sul territorio. Dopo una descrizione dell’organizzazione, della sua struttura interna e del contesto competitivo in cui opera, l’elaborato approfondisce il ruolo dei criteri ESG e della reputazione aziendale nelle collaborazioni tra imprese ed enti a finalità sociale. L’approfondimento tematico analizza come la crescente attenzione verso la sostenibilità e la responsabilità sociale d’impresa abbia aumentato il valore reputazionale e strategico delle iniziative sociali. In questo contesto, le imprese possono essere incentivate a sostenere progetti concreti, come quelli promossi dalla Fondazione, non solo per finalità altruistiche, ma anche per rafforzare la propria reputazione e migliorare le relazioni con gli stakeholder. Attraverso il riferimento alla Stakeholder Theory e al concetto di valore condiviso di Porter e Kramer, si evidenzia come reputazione aziendale e impatto sociale non siano necessariamente in contrasto. Al contrario, il ritorno reputazionale può favorire il coinvolgimento delle imprese in iniziative capaci di generare benefici sia per l’azienda sia per la comunità.

Abstract
This final paper describes the internship experience carried out at Fondazione Ometto E.T.S., a Third Sector organization committed to promoting cardioprotection across the local area. After presenting the organization, its internal structure and the competitive environment in which it operates, the paper explores the role of ESG criteria and corporate reputation in collaborations between companies and socially oriented organizations. The thematic analysis examines how the growing attention to sustainability and corporate social responsibility has increased the reputational and strategic value of social initiatives. In this context, companies may be encouraged to support concrete projects, such as those promoted by the Foundation, not only for altruistic purposes, but also to strengthen their reputation and improve relationships with stakeholders. By referring to Stakeholder Theory and Porter and Kramer’s concept of shared value, the paper highlights that corporate reputation and social impact are not necessarily in conflict. On the contrary, reputational returns can encourage greater corporate involvement in initiatives capable of generating benefits for both the company and the community.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
