Cover stories
A cover-story commitment.
This year we, our people, our community and the environment we respect and protect are once again the subjects of a cover story. Behind this cover story you will find, of course, commitments met, strategies implemented, figures and charts. But also, and more important, shared dreams, partnerships and synergies to help to improve our world, as we evolve in response to its changes.
“Camstobenefit” tells the story of a year of transformation. In 2023 we became a Benefit Cooperative Corporation, reinforcing our commitment to a sustainable, accountable business model. The story of this process is told through the actions of our people, who put these values into practice every day. We keep faith with our values through changing times, working towards the world we want to shape.
“Sharing” is the buzz word of our age and also the concept that has inspired the 2022 Sustainability Report, which includes a series of verbal-visual tables, each dedicated to one of Camst’s founding values. The same publication (Available for download here) also contains Camst’s first impact report (compulsory for Benefit Corporations) and thus combines two different disclosure tools that however cover the same ground: measurement of the social and environmental impacts of the company’s operations and the “common good” produced.
Lofty goals, such as those contained in UN Agenda 2030, can also be achieved with small, everyday gestures, made by all of us: turning off a tap, opting to use a scooter, avoiding disposable cutlery and plastic bottles, etc. We asked photographer Marika Puicher to walk through our Group's offices and workplaces to meet our people and catch the invisible signs of the great changes taking place. The question underlying this process is simple: “If every step, every gesture, can change the world, how far can we go together?”
Camst’s 2020 recounted in the photographs of Marika Puicher. Schools, universities and music and sports venues: educational and cultural locations that are also the workplaces of Camst staff. Social spaces that were suddenly emptied by the pandemic, and seem to fleetingly come alive again through the workers’ presence. People who look at the camera with expressions that say “Here I am, this is my workplace, social space is my home.”
