I've been working on- sustainability, business sustainability and non financial reporting through my master thesis ( ) and through a one-year research period at the University of Verona. I collaborated with Altromercato (the major Italian fair trade import company) on a CSR strategy design project. I design workshops for schools and I help companies developing their sustainability report. I'm an Economy for the Common Good Consultant- complementary currencies thanks to my thesis supervisor Prof. B. Lietaer, international expert in the design and implementation of complementary currency systems ( I also collaborated in the Swiss startup My Drop in the Oceans: a company willing to design a currency to raise environmental responsibility in citizens and business- migrations and co-development with the NGOs Fratelli dell'Uomo and INMIGRA (Peru) and with ImmaginAfrica Project at the University of Padua. As a scout leader dedicated to young generations' education, I believe that we are all called to "leave the world better that we found it". Everyone of us has an impact on global sustainability through our daily actions and business commitment to this issue is essential.
