exchange and collaboration between academics, business leaders, and institutional representatives on the topic:\u00a0<strong>Purpose-Driven Organizations: Law and Finance Perspective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the past few years, the global economy has shifted toward stakeholder capitalism, with organizations increasingly redefining success and purpose of organization, by emphasizing people and planet value alongside profit. However, many organizations have been constrained by outdated legal structures, fragmented regulations, and capital markets that continue to prioritize short-term financial returns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This progress was recently disrupted in the United States, where the Trump administration rolled back several legal and regulatory frameworks that had begun to support purpose-driven models. As a result, we\u2019ve seen increased ideological polarization and a temporary retreat of U.S. leadership in sustainable business regulation. By contrast, Europe has taken a more structured and proactive approach. The European Union has introduced ambitious reforms\u2014such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), and proposed legislation on corporate due diligence\u2014to embed sustainability and purpose into corporate governance and financial markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The regulatory agenda related to purpose and sustainability in the EU has faced these days \u00a0a growing criticism for regulatory complexity and perceived overreach, with concerns that overlapping and burdensome compliance requirements may deter innovation and weigh disproportionately on smaller enterprises. This raises an important question: how is it possible to have legal reform to enable purpose-driven organizations, while ensuring legal clarity, proportionality, and effectiveness?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In our panel we will further explore how legal frameworks and financial systems must evolve to enable long-term purpose alignment. We will discuss with a bank representative if\/what legal and regulatory reform can help unlock financing for organizations transitioning toward purpose-driven models.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Paolo Maria Vittorio Grandi, Intesa San Paolo<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Colin Mayer, Sa\u00efd Business School, University of Oxford<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Fabiola Schneider, University College Dublin, Member of the ESMA Sustainability Standing Committee<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prof. Umberto Tombari, University of Florence<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Moderator: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prof. Agnieszka S\u0142omka-Go\u0142\u0119biowska, SGH, Warsaw School of Economics<\/p>\n<div id=\"ConnectiveDocSignExtentionInstalled\" data-extension-version=\"1.0.4\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-hc5p1k-ba08afff8deea58e550e18b31656ccf2 av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_three_fourth  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mbavbx9m-1311f72e22dc067ab310eb86dfbb6d66\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mbavbx9m-1311f72e22dc067ab310eb86dfbb6d66 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mbavbx9m-1311f72e22dc067ab310eb86dfbb6d66 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mbavbx9m-1311f72e22dc067ab310eb86dfbb6d66 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-6  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-6443 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-6443 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Grandi.jpg\" alt='' title='Grandi'  height=\"786\" width=\"786\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Grandi.jpg 786w, https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Grandi-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Grandi-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Grandi-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Grandi-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Grandi-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Grandi-705x705.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<div  class='flex_column av-7ferd4-0d0e78d9d9f6c2b42323e89069f1c668 av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_fourth  el_before_av_one_fourth  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mbavcuhs-4836d8ba2a5d00a4373786666e729c87 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Paolo Maria Vittorio Grandi <\/strong>(Milan, 1954)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Board Director of Intesa Sanpaolo, he chairs the Board\u2019s Governance Committee and is a member of the Board\u2019s Nomination Committee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Graduated cum laude in Political Science from the Universit\u00e0 Cattolica of Milan, he completed postgraduate studies at the ICMB (lnternational Center for Monetary and Banking Studies) in Geneva.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He began his professional career at the Headquarters of Credito Italiano focusing on the analysis of trends in industrial sectors, as well as designing and implementing a business cycle analysis model to support the loan process.
