ABOUT US
Dignity Service is a service company created 30 years ago on the model of the migrants' associations that historically aided people that, outside the borders of their own country, try to reach dignity and well-being, redeeming their social conditions of departure.
The company's 'core' activity is the activation of a solid network of international, institutional financial and commercial relations.
Around these relations dignity service builds, time by time, organic development projects, based on two guiding concepts: sustainability and social enterprise.
A project is truly sustainable if it provides absolute respect for the environment, linked to the production of energy from renewable sources, water purification and waste recycling. And if it fits smoothly into the ethnic, historical and social context in which it is imagined operating. The concept of social enterprise then develops around the pivotal idea of 'sharing' the benefits produced, not only with employees and management, but also with the territory.
dignity service draws up its 'bottom-up' intervention plans, placing local potential and capacities at the centre of its analysis. And by identifying the 'natural' levers on which to act to trigger 'compatible' development processes capable of generating positive effects on the social and economic context.
dignity service’ working group is made up of professionals who share an innovative vision of 'integrated' development, which includes the enhancement of the territory's human and natural resources.
dignity service has extended its capacity as a 'network of networks' by structuring a series of strategic partnerships with operators in the world of finance who are willing to invest their capital in 'credible' projects in areas of the world that are lagging in development.
Dignity Service identifies 'bankable' projects and 'credible' entrepreneurs. And follow the preparation of dossiers that have a chance of obtaining financing. This reassures lenders about the prospect of recovering their investments. Or the donors, respect the realization of the goals.
dignity service works in the heart of Europe, where the company is based. But it has active 'terminals' in the Arab Emirates, the Caribbean, Latin America, Canada, and Africa, through a solid network of collaborators and 'subsidiaries'.

PROCESS
The dignity service workflow includes a contractual procedure which was designed to ensure the transparency and traceability of each activity:
1 - Each company submitting a project is admitted to an approach meeting, where all preliminary information is exchanged. If the necessary pre-conditions are met, the company is asked to formalize a LOI (letter of interest) in the professional and consultancy activities of "dignity service".
2 - The second step is the signing of a confidentiality agreement, which allows the parties to exchange, in absolute confidence, all the information necessary to identify a "path" for finding the necessary funding.
3 - Having clearly defined the scope of the activities to be put in place, the proposing company submit a “letter of engagement”: a formal request for the professional activities of "dignity services". The request must also include a proposal to participate in the "due diligence" costs.
4. If the parties reach an agreement, a complete contract for the provision of professional services will be signed, specifying the commitments and obligations of the parties.
