As ariska has just started, we have received immense support, and also questions: “What are you? A charity, a non-for profit, or for-profit corporation?”. The short and simple answer is : none of those. Ariska is a “for-benefit enterprise”.

In times defined by innovation, connectivity and rapidly evolving social values, the role of business is shifting from a purely profit-driven pursuit to a purpose-driven mission. Ariska fully embraces the movement of for-benefit enterprises. We explain below what sets us apart from traditional 'for-profit' companies and explore why we prioritise the pursuit of purpose and impact.

Understanding the For-Benefit Enterprise

Ariska is not your typical for-profit company, it's a for-benefit entreprise. But what does that mean you wonder? In a traditional for-profit company, the primary goal is to maximise financial profits for shareholders. As a for-benefit enterprise, our primary objective is purpose and social impact, beyond profits.

The Difference: For-Benefit vs. For-Profit

The key difference lies in our mission and values. While we recognise the importance of financial sustainability, our driving force is to create a positive impact that goes beyond the bottom line. Our activities are guided by our core principles - Freedom, Equality, Solidarity, Transparency, Voluntary Association, Participation and Harmony. These values guide our decisions and ensure that our operations make a positive contribution to the well-being of individuals, the worplace of our clients, and ultimately the communities.

Purpose and Impact in the Cognitive Era

In this age of technological advancement and heightened awareness of global challenges, the search for purpose and impact has become increasingly important. People are no longer satisfied with bare material gain. People seek fulfilment, value alignment and a sense of contributing to a greater good. This paradigm shift is rooted in the cognitive age's emphasis on knowledge, connectedness and recognition of broader social responsibilities.

The "Modern Times"

In the classic movie "Modern Times" (1936), Charlie Chaplin's character, Charlot, finds himself caught in the chaotic world of mechanized industry. The film's satirical portrayal of the dehumanizing effects of automation and rapid industrialization underscores the dissonance between human needs and the profit-driven machinery. Charlot's breakdown and institutionalization symbolize the toll of a profit-only focus on individuals and society.

A Path Towards Balance and Harmony

Ariska is the antithesis of the “Modern Times Factory”. We believe in the harmonious coexistence of technological progress, profit generation and the well-being of individuals and communities. By prioritising purpose and impact, we aim to create a nurturing work environment that values collaboration, creativity and individual growth.

In this troubled times, the principles of a for-benefit enterprise resonate deeply. As society grapples with the implications of technological advances, environmental challenges and socio-economic inequalities, companies have a unique opportunity to lead the way. By integrating purpose-driven values into our operations, we are bridging the gap between profit and social good.

Our commitment to ethical principles is unwavering. We actively seek to eliminate fraud, corruption and harassment from the workplace, and to cultivate an environment of trust and respect. Our actions are consistent with our values, as we promote freedom, equality, solidarity, transparency, voluntary association, participation and harmony in every facet of our consulting services.
