A few words about me
“People often define me as a sustainability expert and if others say so, I prefer. I was born in Florence, where I’m lucky enough to continue living and working, where I have before my eyes every day the wonders of a nature to be preserved and those of human genius and creativity…
Florence is my city and the world my dimension: the opportunity to travel and know other places and meet people to learn from is what makes me really happy and a better person, I think.
I have always been interested in the environment and human rights issues, and over time this interest has become a passion and the passion a business. Process Factory was born this way and it’s been fifteen years now. In 2013 it was the turn of 4sustainability, the implementation system and assurance mark that measures the sustainability performance of the fashion & luxury supply chain.
Beyond the profession, sustainability is important to me above all for its cultural value. I believe my commitment as a teacher and disseminator of sustainability issues comes from this feeling, from the idea that certain principles should guide our steps every day.
Same thing for the book Aware Fashionistas. Vademecum of sustainable fashion (Dario Flaccovio Editore): I appeal to consumers, as well as to the production supply chain, because I entrust my dreams of a better world to this synergy: summed together, the behaviors of each of us, the choices and investments we do, the people we decide to ally with to fight our battles… make the impossible possible”.

Global Fashion Summit 2023
Much has been written about the 2023 edition of the Global Fashion Summit, a highlight event where sustainability experts from around the world meet and compare views. This year’s title sounds more like a warning than ever: Ambition to Action, and to act early and well, we know, the support of innovation is crucial.
What impressions did we get from the June 27-28 event in Copenhagen? Francesca Rulli and Massimo Brandellero tell about it in this special live with 4sustainability delving precisely into the topic of innovation, meant not only in terms of technology, but as a set of structured solutions that the market proposes. What makes the difference, from the perspective of sustainable development, is grasping its value.
Watch the video and leave your comment! If you were also in Copenhagen, please share your impressions: what did you enjoy and what convinced you less? Looking ahead to the next edition, we hope for an increasing presence of the supply chain.
