Decarbonization and the Challenges of Big Oil
The reduction of the use of fossil fuels in the economy represents an existential challenge for oil companies, on which pressure is increasing from governments, institutional investors, and civil society, as they are considered among those most responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, and thus climate change.

ESG Ratings: Love Them or Hate Them?
In a context of growing investor interest for businesses attentive to the social and environmental risks of their activities, ESG ratings have emerged with the function of identifying and selecting companies in line with new market expectations.

The Centrality of Corporate Governance
To obtain the "sustainable success" that by now represents the principle of reference of the new corporate governance code for listed companies, large enterprises and SMEs must initiate a true process of change able to involve business, governance, and corporate strategy. The growing pressure from ESG investors, the size of companies, and the presence of independent board members are key elements ...
From Competition to Collaboration
The systemic crisis of 2007-2008 also marked the crisis of the paradigm of competition and of the primacy of financial interests over the common good, social cohesion, and environmental justice. It is indispensible to recover and re-establish an authentic principle of collaboration, that leads to inclusive business management, oriented towards stakeholders. The principle of collaboration is deeply ...
