Valentina Paduano on Going Beyond the Value Chain
The FERMA Seminar 2025 is set to be a key event for risk managers looking to enhance their expertise in ESG scenario analysis and sustainability frameworks. In a speed interview, Valentina Paduano, FERMA Vice President and Chairperson of the Seminar Programme Committee, shares why this year’s theme, “Going Beyond the Value Chain”, is more relevant than ever and why risk managers should attend.
Why should risk managers attend the FERMA Seminar 2025?
“The FERMA Seminar is an opportunity for risk managers to strengthen their position within key sustainability frameworks and enhance their competencies in ESG scenario analysis. It provides a platform to assess value chain risks and opportunities while exploring how insurance markets and regulatory developments – such as CSRD and CS3D – can support strategic decision-making.”
Why is the theme “Going Beyond the Value Chain” so relevant in today’s dynamic risk environment?
“One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned in recent years is that no company operates in isolation. Sustainability is a collective effort – each business is part of a larger value chain, and understanding its role is essential to achieving European sustainability goals. To develop the right strategies, companies must assess their impact beyond their direct operations and collaborate across the value chain.”
