THURSDAY 3 JUNE 2021
Round table live streaming on Facebook and Youtube
from 2.00 pm to 3.30 pm
June 5 is World Environment Day: we have chosen this date to contribute to the dissemination of voices, messages and information that can make us all more aware of the solutions to save it, and to save us, these solutions already exist if we have the conscience and the responsibility to make them ours.
For this reason we have organized a Round Table with the presence of Architects, Designers, Economists and Entrepreneurs who give their precious opinions and points of view on how Architecture and Design are fundamental to trigger a process of change on a planetary level.
The round table will take place in Live Streaming on Facebook and Youtube from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm on June 3, 2021. Language: Italian.

Francesco Bertolini,
Professor and Economist
SDA Bocconi Professor and President of the Green Management Institute, which has been promoting environmental innovation at the level of industrial supply chains for over 20 years and brings together some of the most interesting entrepreneurial realities in terms of environmental sustainability of its business model. He regularly writes from many years on the Corriere della Sera and follows as a consultant some of the most interesting environmental reconversion projects at national level.
Change must first of all be thought through and, if every designer included ecological materials and technologies that do not harm the ecosystem in their projects, in a few years our impact on the environment would be drastically lightened.
If consumers were also made more aware, companies would find themselves forced to use precisely those eco-sustainable materials required by the market in their production processes.
Planning, Architecture and Design create our choices and also our way of looking at the world: if we carry out these activities in an increasingly sustainable way, we will truly be able to preserve the planet for the generations to come; if we transfer greater sensitivity to consumers, we will have the strength of market demand from below which, combined with design thinking from above, will impart the necessary strength to bring about real change in the world.
TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
One action, multiplied for each of us, can make the difference: prescribe only ecological, sustainable products; producers will have to offer only clean products.
Together we can make a world of difference. The next generations will thank us.
Since its foundation, in 1984, OIKOS ecological paint has chosen to pursue with awareness and foresight an entirely sustainable production in respect of the environment and people's health.
For this reason, on the occasion of World Environment Day, the company has decided to take responsibility for being the spokesperson for a way of doing business without polluting. It does so by bringing its own example but, above all, by giving the floor to important exponents of Architecture, Design, Economy for a moment of discussion and sharing on the theme of conscious design.
