The Institute for Enterprise Values (ISVI) is committed to promoting responsible entrepreneurship that is open to innovation.

ISVI’s mission is to develop and disseminate an advanced conception of business and its role in society, emphasizing the importance of business values that are ethical, sustainable and future-oriented.


A forward-looking vision of the enterprise

Since its founding, ISVI has been committed to developing and promoting a forward-looking vision of enterprise.
This approach views the enterprise as a socially relevant economic institution.
The corporate values promoted by ISVI include social responsibility, continuous innovation, and a commitment to environmental and social sustainability.

 

The profit as a means, not an end

In ISVI’s vision, profit is not the end of the enterprise but a necessary means for its lasting development.
It is a natural consequence of strong competitive ability and the ability to generate consensus among all stakeholders.
The focus is on how profit is generated and how it is used, that is, whether it is produced with respect for all the people variously involved in the operation of the enterprise and whether it is primarily intended to fuel its competitiveness and cohesion.

 

Arharmony between ethics and economics

When this conception of business and its success is rooted in the way business is done, the reasons of ethics and those of business are harmoniously composed.
Social and environmental concerns are integrated with the demands of competitiveness and profitability, creating a balance that goes beyond traditional business ethics or corporate social responsibility practices.

 

A creative approach

It is a balance and harmony that is achieved by unleashing entrepreneurial creativity in a long and broad horizon in which economic needs and social and environmental demands appear no longer antagonistic, but harmonizable by combining them synergistically.
This approach requires a capacity for long-term vision, a deep understanding of the interactions between the economic, social, and environmental aspects of business decisions, and confidence in the innovation potential of people when empowered to operate in a human work habitat for a beautiful and challenging purpose that gives meaning to their work and generates enthusiasm.
