Diversity, equity & inclusion: how to assess consistency between sustainability disclosure and branding initiatives

Over the past ten years, the demand for sustainability reporting has grown exponentially. Companies today operate in an increasingly complex regulatory context: from the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) of 2014, which first drove toward greater transparency in non-financial information disclosure, to the more recent Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) of 2024. The latter ...

Public leadership and the culture of safety: beyond emergency management

The world around us is, by definition, more complex than any model we use to make sense of it. […] In this systemic context, public leadership is called to radical transformation. It is no longer enough to be skilled administrators or efficient decision-makers. What is needed is the ability to interpret and steer change, to be architects of meaning, weavers of trust and relationships. This is a ...

Geoeconomics and protectionism: the harsh law of the hammer

The trajectory of globalization shows that international trade does not follow a linear or irreversible path, but reflects a fragile balance among economic interests, political power, and conflicting ideological visions. After decades of market liberalization and faith in the multilateral institutions born after World War II, today’s global economic order is undergoing profound transformation. The ...

Sustainability under attack: the green challenge between data and disinformation

For years, science has shown that climate change is real and driven by human activity. Recent news confirms that we have already crossed seven out of nine planetary boundaries that keep our planet in balance.

Financial education: what national project?

Italy does not rank among the top countries for financial literacy according to OECD statistics. But is there enough awareness in our country that financial education is important for individuals and for the economy as a whole? We have been talking about financial education since at least the mid-1990s, so this is not a new emergency that we haven’t had time to address. How is it possible that after ...

Managing nature’s portfolio: why natural capital really matters

Whether as farmers or fishers, foresters or miners, households or companies, governments or communities, we manage the assets to which we have access, in line with our motivations as best as we can. But the best each of us can achieve with our individual portfolios may nevertheless result in a massive collective failure to manage the global portfolio of all our assets. We are like a crowd of people, ...

Understanding costs to make better decisions

To measure costs effectively, it is essential to understand their possible alternative classifications and determine which items to consider and how to include them in measurement processes. Although each company may organize its costs differently, it is still possible to identify several typical categories observable across all firms, and these can therefore be regarded as the most common ...

Cash and digital money: beware the Stockholm syndrome

The digital euro is a public investment that needs to be made as soon as possible. Europe must maintain both physical and digital euros. The rationale is straightforward: the less public money is used, the greater the risk of becoming hostage to private and foreign monies – often without realizing it, and even inadvertently encouraging them. This is a kind of Stockholm syndrome, and it is precisely ...
