Our Vision
The goals that animate our work are:
contributing to the enrichment of knowledge on issues crucial for the integral human development of every person and the sustainability of our economic and social models.
To guarantee an ethical-value protection of these issues, anchored to the principles of humanism and to the thought of the social Magisterium of the Church.
To promote the dissemination of knowledge to economic and social stakeholders, the circulation of good practices, the enhancement of experiential knowledge, awareness of the challenges that stand out on the horizon of our society and their ethical-value implications.
To support and accompany the subjects of the economy and society, promoting their participation in the processes of building sustainable and shared solutions.
Contribute to the construction of economic and social models inspired by the principles of integral human development, based on reciprocity/solidarity between genders, generations, people with different ethnic-cultural-religious backgrounds and on sustainability.
