GLOBAL SUMMIT
IN PERSON AND VIA WEB
Sustainability Global Summit 2025
From compliance to competitiveness (with networking lunch)

Sustainability is one of the most crucial and widely discussed topics in the business world today. New regulations and market trends are driving companies to deeply reflect on their business models in order to meet new standards and adhere to stricter limits.

However, focusing solely on compliance risks overshadowing the true competitive potential of sustainability, which can, instead, serve as a fundamental lever for long-term success.

In this meeting, participants will have the opportunity to explore new approaches and innovative ideas, discussing how businesses can rediscover and leverage the true strategic value of sustainability. This can help them not only stand out from the competition but also chart a successful path that goes far beyond mere regulatory compliance.
