The unbearability of communicating sustainability – in collaboration with UIV
“Sustainability” is the new buzzword in Italy. It has taken the place of “resilience” and – before that – “restart.” These words are the spirits of an era, effortlessly traceable on TV prime-time or thousands and thousands of times every day in newspapers, on social media, among the political tables. But, net of self-celebrations increasingly on everyone’s lips, “sustainability” is also a serious thing, and how. This session presents a panel discussion with Unione italiana Vini to understand the risks and opportunities for wine involved in a word – now promoted to Decree – which has a socio-ecological flavor and on whose bandwagon too many “Portuguese” are jumping, undermining the relationship of trust with consumers.
