With the unanimous approval of the 2024 operating budget, the first three-year term of the Venice Sustainability Foundation (VSF) formally ended. The Steering Council, meeting at the Procuratie Vecchie in St. Mark’s Square, launched the new institutional phase of the Foundation with the renewal of its statutory bodies.

Renato Brunetta was confirmed as chairman for the three-year period 2025-2027, at the proposal of the Prime Minister’s Office, with the full consent of the Veneto Region and the City of Venice. Alessandro Costa was confirmed in the role of General Manager and Sole Director.

Also reconfirmed were the founding members’ representatives on the Steering Board: Benno Albrecht (Università Iuav di Venezia), Enrico Carraro (Confindustria Veneto), Michele Casarin (Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia), Renata Codello (Fondazione Giorgio Cini onlus), Monica De Virgiliis (Snam), Fabrizio Iaccarino (Enel), Tiziana Lippiello (Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia), Fabio Moretti (Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello Venezia), Giuseppe Ricci (Eni), Emma Ursich (Assicurazioni Generali), Laura Alice Villani (BCG).

The new Board of Auditors was also appointed, with Enrico Zanetti reappointed as chairman.

The re-election of the bodies represents continuity in the strategic direction of the Foundation, which will continue its commitment to the sustainable development of Venice and its territory, in a perspective of institutional cooperation and public-private partnership.
