Today our CEO and co-founder, Alessandro Leonardi, is in Helsinki at the 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 & 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 (EBNS). Why? #EBNS is the only event organised by the European Commission focused on the nature-positive economy. It brings together Europe’s business and finance community to inspire and drive transformative action towards a nature-positive future. As a consulting company with long-standing expertise in this field, we always take part in this event to connect with other companies and organisations leading the nature-positive economy, sharing experiences, insights, and best practices! 📌 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲: Hing Kin Lee, Group Lead for Nature at NextEnergy Group, presented their Nature Strategy: a pioneering project on which we have worked together. It is showcased as an inspiring example of how integrating nature into corporate strategies strengthens business resilience and sustainable growth. We shared our experience in building and leading multi-stakeholder partnerships for biodiversity protection and restoration during the technical session organised by Fauna & Flora. It was a valuable opportunity to discuss how we can strengthen collaboration for nature. 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 *EBNS* 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞? Watch the livestream!

Have you ever found yourself in a brainstorming session full of confusion and no concrete ideas? 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟑 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 👇 We don’t talk about it often, but having a 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦, especially when active participation is required, really makes a difference. A great example is the final #Hackathon of the European project 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐠 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄, of which we are a partner. The project promotes tourism as a tool to create shared value and strengthen the connection between communities, territories, and visitors from a regenerative perspective. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭? Four teams from Italy and Austria. 24 hours to find concrete solutions to the challenges of Alpine tourism. Four ideas that are relevant, feasible, and regenerative. ‼️ In this kind of context, made up of people working together for the first time, coming from different backgrounds, where time is short and thinking fast is essential, three skills become crucial: 🖍️ 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬: applying facilitation and design thinking techniques to guide and focus creativity, making collaboration more effective and diversity a real strength. 🌱 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: having people who know the topic deeply and can guide groups through the more technical aspects. 📢 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬: creating an accessible, welcoming, and dynamic space, while ensuring that the right information flows before, during, and after the event. As a project partner, #Etifor involved its experts in facilitation (Sofia Caiolo and Riccardo Da Re), regenerative tourism (Alessia Fiorentino, Serena De Franceschi, and Diego Gallo), and communication and event management (Martina Doppio and Valentina Romanin). Thanks to their extensive experience, they contributed to the success of the event and, as you can see from the video, it looks like they had a great time too!

This week, part of Etifor’s sustainable tourism team attended the Hospitality Day and the TTG Travel Experience - ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP, two of the most important tourism events in Italy. As always, these events are a great opportunity to meet people, exchange ideas, and understand how the tourism ecosystem is evolving. One of our main focuses was on the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) standards, which guide sustainable management in hospitality businesses. 🚴♀️ During the event, the certificate was awarded to the 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨–𝐎𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞, the first GSTC-certified cycling route in the world, a milestone we proudly supported throughout the certification process. 🧳 We also joined the panel dedicated to the 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐚, the first art city in Italy to obtain GSTC certification, which we also proudly supported. We’re proud to observe and contribute to the growth of #sustainabletourism in #Italy, standing alongside those who are committed to applying best practices and creating meaningful experiences for their territories. 👏 Federica Bosco, Serena De Franceschi, Francesco Loreggian and Omar Maragno

The fund aims to ensure a fair redistribution of benefits and profits derived from the use of Digital Sequence Information (DSI) on genetic resources. Thank you, Cali and Colombia, for hosting us and opening up a discussion about biodiversity conservation!
