L'oggetto della società benefit

Italian law on benefit corporations require such companies to include in their objects one or more specific purposes of common benefit to be pursued. This essay intends to examine the meaning of the inclusion of such purposes (not simply in the articles of association, but) in the company’s objects themselves, by analyzing the relation between activity and purposes, the extent of the freedom in stating the provisions of the articles of association in such matter and the application of the rules regarding the company’s objects to the purposes of common benefit.
