On behalf of the student association Bocconi Students for ESG, we conducted an interview with Carlotta Orlando, founder of the sustainable fashion brand Giglio Tigrato. Throughout the interview we delve deeper into Carlotta’s story as a founder of a sustainable brand, Giglio Tigrato’s upcycling practices and the (fast) fashion industry as a whole.
This paper is the first in a policy series that aims to disseminate knowledge and raise awareness on the development of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies in the EU. The subsequent papers will analyze other related European ESG policies and practices.
Abstract:
"The European Union’s (EU) Green Deal, introduced in December 2019, is a comprehensive roadmap aimed at achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The EU Green Deal focuses on various areas, including: increasing the EU’s climate ambition; energy security, renewability and affordability; circular economy; building’s construction and renovation efficiency; sustainable mobility; environmentally-friendly food systems; biodiversity protection; air, water and soil’s zero-pollution targets. This paper explains the main objectives of the EU Green Deal and analyzes how the implementation of the plan has progressed in the past four years."
Our first case study.
Abstract:
"The aim of this case study is twofold. Firstly, that of observing how Aboca has structured its activities and ESG practices to create shared value for all its stakeholders. Secondly, that of performing an ESG reporting performance comparative analysis for Aboca, with two comparable companies.
The first chapter introduces Aboca’s history, followed by an analysis of the vision and the mission, organisational chart and leadership style implemented. The second chapter describes Aboca’s vertically integrated value chain, composed of its research and development, agriculture, production, and distribution activities, by focusing on the ESG practices implemented. The third chapter presents the evolution of Aboca’s ESG reporting and operational performance from 2018 onwards. More specifically, the tracked and commented disclosed KPIs and results, directly related to Aboca’s public benefit goals. Finally, the last chapter provides a comparative ESG reporting performance analysis. Aboca’s ESG reporting scope is analysed and compared with two selected comparable companies through the World Economic Forum ESG reporting framework. After a description of the methodologies and the critical choices and hypothesis for the analysis, we provide an evaluation for the Environmental, Social, and Governance pillars."
