Ep. 349 Made in Italy: How Sustainability Became Strategy
Wednesday, 14 October, 2026
Italy's economy runs on craftsmanship, small and medium businesses, and export supply chains. It also faces some of the EU's highest energy costs and a growing web of sustainability rules. What does ESG mean in that reality? In this episode of Perspectives in Business, host Juan Carlos Giraldo talks with Astrid Palmieri of Sustainability Makers. This association helps sustainability managers qualify and elevate their role through training, workshops, and peer networking. It helps them speak the language of executive teams and boardrooms and become protagonists in defining company strategy, using the innovation and creativity sustainability generates. We discuss: Why ESG in Italy is rooted in "Made in Italy": efficiency, durability, local supply chains, and preserving skills; Where Italy has made the most progress, and where it still lags. How EU rules are shifting responsibility from small suppliers to the whole value chain, and what it takes to make sustainability a lasting habit, not a trend.
