In particular, in recent years, Mag has focused on Corporate Social Responsibility, developing an idea of Territorial Social Responsibility for the construction of a cooperative economic ecosystem in contexts, also thanks to the development of community businesses. Mag Verona is a training institution, accredited by the Veneto Region, which in particular deepens the issues of entrepreneurship, relational, non-formal skills. Mag periodically organizes training courses on these issues, and conducts studies in the sector through its dedicated centre, and also conducts specific “on the job” paths, both for individual companies and in an inter-company key.

MAG’s mission is: “We believe in the possibility of building a more equitable and fair society in which everyone has the possibility of being protagonists and responsible for its own existence. We believe that the economy must be tailored to women and men who, through self-managed work, can fulfil their aspirations. A better quality of life is based on relationships and networks of trust based on respect for each other and on values that transcend profit for its own sake.”
