This paper explores the effects of the corporate architecture of industrial companies in relation to sustainability by means of a literature review and an exploratory research methodology including interviews to six Italian industrial companies that have invested in corporate architecture for sustainable development since 2000. The analysis suggests that corporate architecture is a fundamental means by which a company can improve the living conditions of the community in which it operates by contributing to territorial sustainability in economic (e.g., supporting local firms and providing employment), environmental (e.g., creating structures with a low environmental impact) and socio-cultural (e.g., accommodating and supporting events, creating places of socialisation and offering facilities to the community) terms.
Il contributo esplora gli effetti dell'architettura aziendale delle imprese industriali in relazione alla sostenibilità per mezzo di una revisione della letteratura e una metodologia di ricerca esplorativa tra cui interviste a sei aziende industriali italiane che hanno investito in architettura aziendale per lo sviluppo sostenibile a partire dal 2000. L'analisi suggerisce che l’architettura aziendale è un mezzo fondamentale attraverso il quale un'azienda può migliorare le condizioni di vita della comunità in cui opera, contribuendo alla sostenibilità territoriale economica (ad esempio, sostenere le imprese locali e fornendo occupazione), ambientale (ad esempio, la creazione di strutture a basso ambientale impatto) e socio-culturale (ad esempio, accogliere e sostenere gli eventi, la creazione di luoghi di socializzazione e che offre servizi per la comunità).

Abstract
This paper explores the effects of the corporate architecture of industrial companies in relation to sustainability by means of a literature review and an exploratory research methodology including interviews to six Italian industrial companies that have invested in corporate architecture for sustainable development since 2000. The analysis suggests that corporate architecture is a fundamental means by which a company can improve the living conditions of the community in which it operates by contributing to territorial sustainability in economic (e.g., supporting local firms and providing employment), environmental (e.g., creating structures with a low environmental impact) and socio-cultural (e.g., accommodating and supporting events, creating places of socialisation and offering facilities to the community) terms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
