The distinctive characteristic of Fondazione Etica is its ability to combine rigorous research with the concrete implementation of its findings. In essence, we turn ideas into action.

Our work spans two interconnected domains: the public administrative machine, on one hand, and social policies, on another one.

In a landscape often dominated by the tendency to merely list problems, we choose to act as a proactive force. We dedicated ourselves to studying and developing medium to long term solutions that are not driven by one-sided interests, but rather guided by a broader vision of insitutional design end the exercise of public authority.

We firmly believe that the contrast between the public sector and the private one isboth mistaken and unproductive. Instead. our aim is to restore a positive and constructuve meaning to the word "public", as envisioned in the Italian Constitution. This does not mean adopting the characteristics of the private sector but rather becoming a reliable partner in the pursuit of the general interest.

Ethics for us is not a matter of moralism, but a necessary premise, a tool to serve the common good. It represents a framework for responsible public conduct and a shared standard for fair and transparent coexistence within a community. Ethics, in this context, is about accountability, institutional integrity, and the collective responsibility to strengthen democracy.
