A new Italian renaissance in the name of sustainable development, carried forward by a new generation of Italian CEOs. The CEOforLIFE community of business leaders presents the first edition of CEO for LIFE Awards, recognition dedicated to large companies committed to sustainability, with the aim of an inclusive economic growth that respects both the environment and people. The event is attended by over 50 CEOs and Presidents of the most important Italian and multinational companies most involved in the topics covered, including, for example, the top Enel, Hera (video speech by CEO Stefano Venier), Acea, Allianz, Mondadori, Cisco, Nokia, Birra Peroni, Toyota, Fiera Milano, Hermes, Terna, as well as Italyonline and the Young Entrepreneurs of Confindustria, just to name a few of the many realities present.
More specifically, the topics covered are: sustainable mobility, nutrition, education and digitization, responsible consumption and production and traceability, work inclusion of the most fragile figures, assistance and training for people inside and outside companies, the fight against violence against women and female empowerment.
The event takes place over three days, from 18 to 20 March. On 18 and 19 March, the RDS Multimedia Auditorium in the Rome office will host theat SDGs Marathon – from 9 to 17 – in collaboration with RDS 100% Grandi Successi, one of the entertainment companies that has already integrated specific objectives in the field of sustainability into its internal policies – during which CEOs are called to tell their experience and their initiatives that generate positive effects not only in terms of business, but above all in terms of value generated for society and the environment, as established by the United Nations SDGs Objectives. The event is told and promoted also thanks to the partnership with Fortune Italia.
The morning of 20 March - from 10 to 11.30 - will instead be dedicated to SDGs Forum, meetings featuring associations of entrepreneurs, managerial realities, institutions, companies and the media, leaders in the field of the main drivers of sustainability (gender equality, new work and living spaces, education with high added value, environmental protection , etc.).
“With CEOforLIFE we wanted not only to give voice to the sustainability initiatives carried out by CEOs and companies more in line with the 17 UN goals (SDGs), but to create a virtuous sharing of best practices and experiences that put the search for a more inclusive growth at the basis of business strategies, to create a system of alliances that can only allow the recovery of the country in this phase", commented Giordano Fatali, President and Founder of CEOforLIFE.
