Past Events

In this first Impact Investing Series session, Paule Ansoleaga Abascal will interview Bertrand Badré to understand how we can reform capitalism, redefine its fundamental purpose and regain power over finance to divert investment capital into sustainable strategies, spur a green and inclusive recovery, and regain trust.

As a visionary, a keen intellect with deep experience in the world of private and public international finance, Bertrand Badré will share his vision of an ethical global financial system. He will explain what can be achieved if we move beyond simply repairing the financial system to avoid another crisis, to focus on its incredible potential to bring about economic, social and environmental progress.

Bertrand will challenge the old bifurcated system of positive impact and returns which is gradually breaking down as Stakeholder Capitalism and Impact Investing gain traction. He will demonstrate he has walked the talk by launching Blue like an Orange Sustainable Capital to provide mezzanine financing to entrepreneurs in Latin America, delivering both strong risk-adjusted returns and inclusive growth for the surrounding communities.

30th March 2021 – 18:00-19:00 CET

Dear Members and Friends,

We are pleased to inform you that BCCI President Tom Noad will be joining Councillor Cristiano Cominotto
for a Facebook live talk on Thursday 6th May at 14:30.

During this informal half-hour web chat, the first of its kind, Tom will reflect on the two years of his presidency and discuss some of the challenges the Chamber has experienced throughout the difficult times of Brexit and the pandemic. He will talk about some of the people and initiatives which had been central to achieving the Chamber’s mission of ‘doing business by doing good’. Furthermore, Tom will provide an update on the Chamber’s upcoming projects and look forward to the future.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear everything you ever wanted to know about the youngest BCCI President ever (but were afraid to ask)!

Follow the talk on Facebook – LawTalks

Language: Italian

Our social and economic model is not sustainable. It relies on fossil fuels and the relentless extraction of raw materials. It disregards externalities, allowing companies to unload the cost of pollution to society. It often confuses price with value. It undervalues diversity and equality. Its pitfalls – such as the climate emergency, biodiversity loss and economic inequality –are undermining the well-being of our planet and its people.
But as injustice exists, so does opportunity and the financial sector can be a big part of the solution. As an industry, impact investing drives the flow of much-needed capital towards solutions to the most critical social and environmental challenges. The industry has made great progress in generating a robust and diverse set of impact investing funds, targeting every impact theme, geography and asset class. However, it is still generating a fraction of the impact required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and global climate targets.

In our 2nd impact investing session, we will host 3 special impact investors to discuss what constitutes credible impact investing practice and how the industry could be scaled to achieve greater impact without losing its integrity.

Let’s come together and hence celebrate the grand opening of BCCI Member 10X Athletics on Saturday 19th June from 3.oopm in Via Boscovich 14, Milan!

The Covid-19 pandemic has tested institutions in unprecedented ways and challenged the public’s trust in each institution—government, business, media and NGOs—to do what is right.

The 2021   Trust Barometer shows that business has a new mandate to lead in addressing societal challenges, while also reimagining the post-pandemic workplace and the social contract between employer and employee.

With some countries, particularly developed nations, are starting to take post-pandemic steps, a post-Covid era presents an opportunity for social and economic innovation to redefine how we live, work and collaborate and address an urgent set of challenges: an ongoing infodemic, growing inequality, continued racial and gender injustice, climate change and automation’s impact on the future of jobs and the workplace.

This thought-provoking panel discussion will bring together a group of experts to discuss insights from the latest Edelman Trust Barometer report: “The World After Covid.” The group will engage in conversation, exploring how CEOs and other societal leaders can define a post-pandemic agenda for their organizations, as well as the renewed role business has in making a positive impact on society.

The Edelman Trust Barometer has for more than 20 years studied the perception of Trust. The global communications firm believes that this is the ultimate currency in the relationship that all institutions—companies and brands, governments, NGOs and media—build with their stakeholders.

About the project

“The Renaissance Series – Sustainable Human Development” is a powerful series of webinars focusing on the individual and the new set of challenges we are all faced with as we operate in the new professional environment that has recently undergone significant twists and shifts. Covid, Brexit and a series of globally relevant social issues have contributed to changing the way we work, the way we communicate, the way we make decisions, in ways that no one had anticipated and without warning or time to prepare.

Dealing with what some called the “new normal” is not just a matter of how good we are at using new technological tools, but it encompasses a wide spectrum of little things which, combined, have the power of making our lives better or worse and impact on our ability to reach personal and professional goals.

With the Renaissance series, the Chamber aims at giving its members fresh, applicable and effective means of rising to the challenge and maximize one’s potential by selecting and engaging experts from each field who are uniquely equipped to provide the participants with food for thought and opportunities of individual human growth.

Episode 1
“FROM VOICE TO ACTION”

Speaker: Luca Viscardi

Giornalista, scrittore e storico conduttore radiofonico, con esperienza trentennale in realtà di grande successo come RTL 102.5, Radio NumberOne, Radio RCS, PlayRadio. “La vita a piccoli passi” è il titolo del suo primo libro, dove racconta la propria esperienza durante la pandemia del 2020.

Partendo dalla dematerializzazione dell’individuo, che perde la sua fisicità e le sue caratteristiche distintive nell’incontro con l’interlocutore, Luca Viscardi ci guiderà in un percorso volto a trasmettere la nostra personalità e identità in maniera efficace anche in circostanze al giorno d’oggi quali gli incontri a distanza, dove molti degli elementi di relazione un tempo considerati fondamentali non sono più presenti. Il nostro Host ci parlerà della voce e delle sue infinite sfaccettature e potenziale, dall’alto della sua esperienza nel comunicare efficacemente a distanza con migliaia di interlocutori in modo personale ed emozionante. Non meno importante, si affronterà come far sì che l’incontro online non si concluda con la fine della call ma si converta in una call to action!

Episode 2
“NAVIGATING SOCIAL DILEMMAS WITH GAME THEORY”

Speaker: Robin Donald

A control engineer by profession, Robin Donald has for many years been a consultant in business development. Along with his wife, Chiara, they provide consultancy and training via Business Game Theory.

In our internet-driven world we enjoy and increasingly depend on our hyper-connected environment, but the complexity of the interactions in our work and domestic lives isn’t always easy to untangle: a game-theoretical approach can frequently shine a light on complex dilemmas. In this episode of The Renaissance Series Robin and Chiara will examine some of these cases and let you consider various solutions. The approach will be highly interactive, as the audience will participate in a multi-player non-competitive game, led by the Speaker. Through this unique opportunity you will be able to participate in a highly enjoyable and informative session illustrating the role of game theory in present-day social dilemmas.

Episode 3
“BRITISH MINDSET”

Speaker: Elisabeth Weingraber-Pircher

Elisabeth Weingraber-Pircher is an executive coach, experienced interculturalist, and leadership trainer. Having lived and worked in 12 countries on four continents (longest in Italy, Brazil, and the UK) she knows how to apply the latest theories in real-life business situations and support people and businesses in complex environments.

What matters to “the” British? What are decisions based on? How do “the” British interpret concepts such as “trust”, “fairness” and decide what is funny and what’s odd? How does it differ, if at all, from the rest of the world? Looking at these concepts from various cultural aspects will make it easier to build and maintain trust across borders, create buy-in and share some good laughs. It’s not a list of do’s and don’ts, rather an exploration of experiences and guidelines to real-life situations with a sprinkling of British humour.

About the project

“The Renaissance Series – Sustainable Human Development” is a powerful series of webinars focusing on the individual and the new set of challenges we are all faced with as we operate in the new professional environment that has recently undergone significant twists and shifts. Covid, Brexit and a series of globally relevant social issues have contributed to changing the way we work, the way we communicate, the way we make decisions, in ways that no one had anticipated and without warning or time to prepare.

Dealing with what some called the “new normal” is not just a matter of how good we are at using new technological tools, but it encompasses a wide spectrum of little things which, combined, have the power of making our lives better or worse and impact on our ability to reach personal and professional goals.

With the Renaissance series, the Chamber aims at giving its members fresh, applicable and effective means of rising to the challenge and maximize one’s potential by selecting and engaging experts from each field who are uniquely equipped to provide the participants with food for thought and opportunities of individual human growth.

Lo scorso gennaio è stata presentata – in concomitanza con il World Economic Forum di Davos – la ventiduesima edizione dell’Edelman Trust Barometer.

La ricerca, che ha coinvolto 36.000 consumatori in 28 Paesi ha evidenziato un ‘ciclo di sfiducia’, alimentato da Governi e Media, che minaccia la stabilità sociale. Al contrario, invece, l’istituzione Business è vista come una forza stabilizzatrice, in grado di affrontare le questioni sociali più critiche.Ancora una volta i dati mettono in luce le aspettative, che vanno ben oltre il profitto, riposte nelle aziende e nei propri leader e, di conseguenza, le crescenti responsabilità di cui sono investiti.

Ne discuteranno Fiorella Passoni, CEO Edelman Italia, e Steven Sprague, Presidente di The British Chamber of Commerce for Italy
