On October 8, 2025, Professor Elia Biganzoli, Full Professor of Medical Statistics at the University of Milan, delivered a compelling presentation at the prestigious Salone della CSR e dell’Innovazione Sociale in Milan, contributing to the discussion “Towards a Regenerative Economy”.
The session, part of the Innovation and Impact track, explored the shift from traditional sustainability to a regenerative economic model—one that goes beyond minimizing harm to actively restoring and enhancing natural and social ecosystems. According to speakers at the event, a regenerative economy strives to return more value to the environment than it consumes, while improving quality of life for people across communities.
Professor Biganzoli joined a distinguished panel of experts to reflect on how this transformative approach can reshape business strategies and societal impact. He emphasized the importance of data-driven decision-making and the role of statistical insights in evaluating and guiding regenerative practices within organizations. Through evidence-based frameworks, Biganzoli highlighted how companies can not only measure sustainability outcomes but also align their operations with long-term ecological and social regeneration goals.
The broader event brought together leaders from academia, enterprise, and civil society to discuss themes such as corporate wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, and metrics for environmental and social impact. Biganzoli’s participation underscored the University of Milan’s commitment to advancing research and dialogue on responsible business and sustainable development.
The “Towards a Regenerative Economy” session reaffirmed the urgent need for innovation, collaboration, and courageous leadership to address global challenges—championing models of growth that benefit people, planet, and prosperity alike.
