Communicating our commitment.
At Fondazione Valter Longo ETS, we are deeply committed to delivering the best possible support to our patients and to all the people we reach through our work. Together, we have demonstrated that real results are achievable — offering value to all our stakeholders and providing concrete, science-based solutions for everyone. This shared commitment to the highest ethical standards and a distinctive scientific approach is made possible by the vision and dedication of our founder, Professor Valter Longo. Every day we work and innovate with integrity, channeling our creativity and expertise to create the greatest possible impact — developing inclusive, responsible and sustainable solutions in nutritional assistance, awareness-raising and research, in support of our most vulnerable communities.
Five core values form the foundation of everything we do and every decision we make:
| Creativity | Constantly seeking solutions and bringing new ideas to life, striving for change and developing innovative initiatives to help patients and disadvantaged individuals find lasting pathways to healthy longevity — through targeted, responsive actions and ongoing concrete support. |
| Science | Leveraging research, analysis, partnerships and global collaborations to deliver an exceptional service to patients wherever they are — working with partners and combining forces beyond national borders to improve the lives of patients and communities worldwide. |
| Care | Always seeking new and integrative approaches to complement standard therapies and guide people along a path of healthy longevity — through rigorous, high-level scientific research and investigation, supporting patients at every stage of their journey. |
| Integrity | Being ethically sound and honest, building a relationship of direct and complete trust with each patient, and always taking responsibility for our actions in the patient’s best interest. |
| Accountability | Honoring our commitment to build a solid and lasting Foundation for future generations — protecting the Foundation’s reputation, fulfilling obligations to all stakeholders, acting with an entrepreneurial and community-minded spirit, and maintaining the highest level of transparency toward donors, partners and patients. |
Professor Valter Longo donates all proceeds from the sale of his books entirely to Fondazione Valter Longo ETS and to the Create Cures Foundation, in support of healthcare assistance projects.
Through our mission report, we activate a structured — though accessible — process of social accountability. This allows us to communicate to all those who contribute in any capacity: our values, our objectives, the activities carried out, and the social impact generated in favor of our beneficiaries. We describe the outcomes and effects of our choices transparently, always pursuing efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability.
This is also our commitment for the future: to communicate our goals and obligations with ever greater clarity, improving our reporting year after year through a document that grows alongside our work.
