CDS – La tua casa della salute, a network of 35 specialized outpatient clinics across Liguria and Piedmont, has officially become one of the 332 certified B Corps in Italy, thanks to its positive impact on society and the environment. 

The B Corp certification independently and objectively measures a company’s social and environmental impact, based on the standards set by the B Impact Assessment (BIA). The evaluation process examines business practices and results across five categories: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. The certification is the outcome of more than 18 months of assessment of the CDS model and involved the entire company and its people. B Corp status was granted after a rigorous verification process by the B Lab network. The certification represents an important step forward in CDS’s ambitious ESG strategy, which is reflected in the many concrete actions undertaken in recent years.

“The B Corp certification is proof of the path CDS has been following for some time, and it motivates us to take on new challenges,” says Marco Fertonani, CEO of CDS. “Our model doesn’t just address individual needs—it has a broader impact on the territory, contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive healthcare system. I like to say that we care for healthy people, because by offering access to tests, exams, and specialist visits at prices often comparable to public co-pay fees, we make preventive care accessible. This allows for early intervention, avoiding more complex and costly treatments down the line, with a positive effect not only on individual health but on the entire community—helping to build a healthcare system that truly serves everyone.”
