Italian term or phrase: che trova linfa
despite the use of the term "lymph" in sure this is not a medical reference, but a stock phrase. See the context:

"E’ chiaramente un approccio di tipo innovativo , differente rispetto alla determinazione delle strategie aziendali tradizionali, che trova linfa nella consapevolezza di poter riorientare le relazioni con il sistema sanitario e con tutti coloro verso cui xxx Srl può attuare azioni di social responsibility ( decisori politici, organizzazioni non for profit, categorie professionali, media)."

drawing its strength from
Explanation:
