and make transparent the rules disciplining the activities of the corpo-
rate administration, the relationship among the governing bodies, their
independence, their gender composition, the relationship between the
ownership—the shareholders—and the management structure, as well
as the one with other parties, or stakeholders with a vested interest in
the company. This broad subject matter represents the response to the
need to safeguard the pillar of the economic system in the Western
democracies: the trust of citizens and economic operators in the correct
functioning of the market economy under the prerequisite of democracy.
At the level of the single enterprise, good Governance builds up, through
trust, the reputation and strengthens the competitiveness.
After the tumultuous economic development following the end of the
second world war, mainly in Europe, Japan and the United States, at the
end of the sixties of the 1900s, in the Western world arose the first serious
questions about the “limits to growth” and with them the concerns
about the environmental degradation originating from the exploitation of
the planet’s resources, especially the non-renewable ones (1). From then
on, the word “sustainability” became usual in the common language to
qualify the wise development of the economic activity and the use of the
resources—including also the social aspects and the corporate governance
ones—so much so that in the nineties the first “Ethical Funds” were born,
their aim being to select their own investments according to sustainability
criteria. Despite the difficulty in distinguishing sometimes the substance
from the rhetoric, the topic issues had been proposed and they would
have increasingly influenced behaviours and choices.
The “E” of “Environmental” enters then forcefully the scene in this
century riding the wave of fears concerning the planet’s capacity to sustain
the economic growth as hitherto known, with the aggravating effect of
climate change and specifically, inter alia, by global warming.
These problems have shaken public opinion and the “E” “S” G”
factors joined in the synthesis identifying sustainable thinking, starting
to become business culture too.
If these are the issues of today agenda, it must be said that they
substantially belong to the Western culture, even if unevenly, since the
West has so far represented the advanced frontier of the economic
development; they do not enjoy widespread appreciation and sensitivity
elsewhere in the world, even if other countries have nowadays a higher
rate of economic growth than the West.
FOREWORD ix
The declaration dated August 19th 2019 of the 181 Chief Execu-
tive Officers of The Business Roundtable “…who commit to leading their
companies for the benefits of all stakeholders—customers, employees, suppliers,
communities and shareholders…” seems totally in contrast with Friedman’s
one of forty-nine years before; it is the expression of a different cultural
and historical climate, of course, which shows a higher level of civilization
and calls for it.
The two assertions have anyway some overlappings: in order to achieve
its mission, the enterprise must reward all the production factors it
employs: workers with salary, suppliers and service providers with the cost
of their performances, debt financing with interests, the State with taxes
and, finally, risk capital with profit; this last one is a residual remunera-
tion available only if and when all other factors have been rewarded, but
it has to be rewarded too. If the enterprise is not able to reward it, that
means that it employs more resources than it is able to generate and if
it doesn’t succeed in doing that repeatedly, it fails its mission that is to
generate wealth, not to destroy it, causing damages not only to its share-
holders, but also to all stakeholders and to the community as a whole
that is then forced to take charge of it. Therefore, it is in the interest of
all parties that the company remunerates all the production factors thus
generating long-lasting wealth, because this is its primary responsibility
and only fulfilling it, can enterprises undertake all other responsibilities
required by the wider group of stakeholders.
It is not by chance that Leopoldo Pirelli, last of the descendants of
the founder, who, from 1956 to 1991, led the family company founded
in 1872, by enunciating his ten rules of the “good entrepreneur” stated:
“…the first quality that an entrepreneur must always demonstrate: strive
and strive again with every possible means to close good balance sheets. If
he doesn’t succeed once, try again. If he doesn’t succeed repeatedly, he should
leave. And if he succeeds, he shouldn’t consider himself as God Almighty, but
simply someone who, given the profession he chooses, has done his duty”.
Nevertheless, sustainability was always part of the Pirelli corporate
identity even in times when the word was not as usual as it is now: social
housing, advanced health care for workers, fair dialogue with the trade
unions, also in times of tough conflicts are part of the Pirelli history, as
well as its culture of value creation, productivity, profitability. For decades
Pirelli stands in the first position in the sustainability rankings.
If the sustainability of its balance sheets is the unavoidable and
inescapable responsibility of the company, it’s not the only one; there

Preface
What do we know about sustainability and its with value and firms?
Perhaps before answering this question a more fundamental question
should be answered, namely, what do we mean by value and who are
the ultimate beneficiaries of such “Value”? We must admit that we have
been asking ourselves these questions many times over the years. Finding
a fully satisfactory answer proved to be challenging. Surely there is more
than one answer. More than one, as the stakeholders’ interest that should
be considered.
So, within our studies and empirical research as academics and practi-
tioners, together with Carlo and Massimo, we have dedicated plenty of
time to these interesting topics, until one day in October 2019, the idea
of this book was born.
“Why don’t we write a book that tries to shed some light on these
issues by, among other things, providing some initial empirical evidence
on the relation between sustainability and value creation?”
So, according to our different and complementary profiles of academics
and practitioners, we started thinking through these concepts.
The idea was to lay the basics and more than these for the interpreta-
tion of concepts that are so close to each one of us and our lives but not
so easy to understand from an economic point of view.
Furthermore, our purpose was to suggest some tools which could
demonstrate that the impact in terms of monetary value creation of

CHAPTER 2
Massimo Catizone
Introduction
Large international corporations manage a vast amount of capital and
assets. As a result, corporations are in a position to affect the environ-
ment and the value of natural capital. Considering the environment as a
free and not finite resource is fundamentally incorrect. There is a growing
consensus that any firm that is failing to implement the necessary adapta-
tion strategies, consumes and erodes natural capital without an effective
mitigation strategy, would do so at the expense of other firms and house-
holds. In this case, when remediation is possible, the remediation costs
would have to be borne by other stakeholders.
Directing capital towards adaptation projects should be viewed as an
opportunity for all stakeholders, not just corporations. As argued by the
Global Commission on Adaptation investing in adaptation can provide
M. Catizone (B)

Heart, Milan, Italy
a triple dividend: loss avoidance, economic benefits and social and envi-
ronmental benefits. Not investing in adaptation should be considered as
an active investment decision. The consequences of such a decision are
difficult to predict and quantify, but it is almost certain that such conse-
quences will negatively affect the value of stakeholders’ capital over time.
Early warning systems, for example, save lives and assets worth many times
their cost.
Due to the role of corporations and the magnitude of the size of the
assets that are under the influence of their choices and decisions, it appears
legitimate to argue that corporations have a responsibility and, more
importantly, an interest, in implementing business strategies capable of
preserving natural capital, monitoring and mitigating, through constantly
refined risk management strategies and solutions, the impact of climate
change.
The question then arises as to if and how corporations can and should
go about identifying and implementing sustainable business strategies.
Also, the parameters and reference points to be used by corporations
to assess whether or not their strategies are suitable to achieve their
objectives, generate value for all stakeholders and mitigate climate change-
related risks should be identified. In this respect, two macro-areas should
be considered.
First, risk identification and disclosure. As of today, disclosure of
climate-related risks is, especially for smaller firms, largely voluntary and
as a result, available data is scarce and, in most cases, inadequate to enable
investors to compare corporations from the same sector and assess relative
resilience to climate-related shocks.
Second, the mission of the corporation. As the stakeholders’ base and
its expectations change over time, the mission of the corporation should
predict and acknowledge such changes and adjust accordingly. For
example, the potential benefits of digitalization and new technologies as
enablers of a green transition and as tools for climate change risk mitiga-
tion should be fully exploited. It has been argued (Patel et al., 2010) that
machine learning algorithms can be successfully used to predict climate
change and in the context of conservation planning by locating habitats
of wildlife and predicting future sites where wildlife would be likely to
relocate based on scientifically backed climate change assumptions.

Harderwijker bokking, vertierd wordt, en waartoe eene bijzondere
marktplaats,” (op het Koningsplein,) „gesteld is, echter zo smaaklijk niet is

Is omtrent één en een half uur gaans ten Zuidoosten van Naarden,
strekkende de huizen zig bijna tot aan de grensscheiding van Holland
en Utrecht uit: hoe zeer onaanmerklijk het zij, is het echter ongemeen
aangenaam gelegen; allerbevalligst groen, en, door zijne ruime
bebouwing, zeer luchtig: ’t heeft in de daad alle landlijk schoon.
Bijkans een quartier uur gaans van daar ten Noordwesten, slegts weinig
schreden van den weg naar Naarden, vindt men den bekenden
Tafelberg, wiens verhevenheid eene groote verscheidenheid van
gezichten verschaft, die het oog ongemeen bekooren, en het hart van
den gevoeligen aanschouwer tot aanbidding van den Schepper der
Natuur sal dwingen.
Wat aangaat de
GROOTTE.
„Het is,” zegt de schrijver van den Tegenwoordigen Staat van Holland,
„in honderd jaaren genoegzaam niet vermeerderd of verminderd,
staande in de oude lijst der verpondingen maar één huis minder dan in
de laatste van 1732, volgends welke Blaricum op 108 huizen begroot
wordt;” sedert echter is het verminderd, want men schat het getal der
huizen thans, niet hooger dan 100; deezen worden bewoond door
nagenoeg 500 menschen, die meest allen van den Roomschen
Godsdienst zijn.
Het
WAPEN
Op het Kerkhof binnen den omtrek, dien voorheen het choor der Kerk
heeft beslaagen, is een grafkelder, doch die thands van boven geheel
met gras begroeid is. Op denzelven ligt een gedeelte van een’ grafzerk,
waarop gebeiteld is het wapen en de naam van Johan Stachovwer
Urij Heer Van Schiermoncoog.
Wegens de
WERELDLIJKE REGEERING,
Hebben wij slechts dit volgende ter neder te stellen: de Burgers hebben
er, wat het bestuur der Dorps-zaaken betreft, hunne eigene Regeering;
doch met opzicht tot de rechts-zaaken handelt deeze Regeering in
vereeniging met die van Laaren, en heeft dan dezelfde maat van magt
als de Regeering der andere Gooische Dorpen. De Leden dezer
Regeering zijn te Blaricum zo wel als te Laaren bijkans allen van den
Roomsch-catholijken Godsdienst.
Voorrechten of verpligtingen heeft Blaricum niet: Zie wegens

GESCHIEDENIS
Maar zeer veel heeft dit Dorp geleden in het jaar 1696: op den 26 Maart
diens jaars, even na den middag, ontstond er in hetzelve een
allergeweldigste brand, waardoor binnen den tijd van twee uuren over
de dertig huizen benevens de Kerk en toren waren in de asch gelegd,
de zerken in de Kerk van één sprongen, en de lijken in de graven tot
stof verteerden.
Bijzonderheden zijn hier niet te bezichtigen, niettegenstaande de
alleraangenaamste ligging des dorps, een bezoek van den Landvriend
overwaardig is.
