Vision
Since 2000, our path has followed the People-Planet-Profit model. We believe that environmental and human sustainability is an instrument for development and alignment that must bring excellent results to benefit everyone, with an optimal balance between the economy, society, and the environment. This profound transformation is not just possible, it is also necessary: people, companies, and institutions must join forces to build and promote a new economic model, able to generate quantifiable and demonstrable positive impacts. LifeGate stands beside those who want to be protagonists of change and enact it every day with concrete actions.
Corporate Structure
At the head of the LifeGate group, there is LifeGate S.p.A-Società Benefit, a company listed in the register of Innovative SMEs, which provides support to businesses with strategic consultancy services, communication activities, and environmental projects to improve sustainability.
LifeGate S.p.A. is the sole owner of LifeGate Energy S.r.l., which provides 100% renewable, 100% Italian and Zero Impact energy to businesses and, through its subsidiary LifeGate Energy People S.r.l. (in which it holds a 50% stake), to individuals.
LifeGate S.p.A. also holds a 70% stake in LifeGate Way S.r.l.-Società Benefit, the Italian ecosystem that supports and connects sustainable native startups.
A crowdfunding success story
When LifeGate turned twenty, we decided to launch an initiative to transform the business into a “public company”, offering anyone who believes in sustainability the chance to become our partner.
This decision to foreground openness and transparency succeeded beyond expectations. Over 1,800 people put their faith in our plans for the future and decided to take part in our equity crowdfunding campaign, launched on the Mamacrowd platform, through which we raised over 2 million euros.
