SACBO and Eco.Bergamo: sustainable development at the centre of the debate on investments and policies

As a member of the Editorial Committee of Eco.Bergamo, SACBO took part on Tuesday, 7 July, in the event “Governing the Future: Investments and Policies for Italy in 2030 and 2025”, held in the setting of ChorusLife. The event represented an opportunity for discussion with economist and statistician, as well as former Minister of Infrastructure, Enrico Giovannini, currently Scientific Director of ASviS Italia.

The discussion focused on the governance of the future and investment strategies for the green transition, within a complex and highly unstable international scenario marked by inequality, poverty, and the water crisis.

In this context, a positive element emerged: Italian companies that choose the path of sustainability (High-ESG companies) are significantly more competitive, achieving higher revenues, employment levels, and investments compared to those that do not pursue this direction.

Between 2026 and 2028, Italy will be engaged in redefining its National Strategy for Sustainable Development. The speaker highlighted that only by placing intergenerational justice, the energy transition as a driver of independence, and gender inequality at the centre of policies, it will be possible to contribute to sustainable economic growth.
