In view of SFS 25<\/strong>, we interviewed Stefano Maneri<\/strong>, Senior ESG Advisor at ESGEO (Avvale Group), a key player in sustainability consulting and digital governance<\/em>. In this exclusive interview, Maneri clarifies how the ESG approach must move beyond the logic of a mere \u201cconstraint\u201d to become a driver of business and innovation<\/em> for sports clubs. He analyzes the challenges facing Italian football, the regulatory and cultural gap<\/em> compared to leagues like the Premier League, and the strategic importance of having a digital platform for managing representative, traceable, and auditable data<\/strong>, thus avoiding phenomena such as greenwashing<\/em> and social washing<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The invitation is to discover the ESGeo methodology for guiding clubs on their sustainability journey<\/em>, integrating all existing club activities (for example, those related to social\/charity issues) to develop a systemic approach to ESG topics that can be closely linked both to the club\u2019s \u201ccore\u201d activities and to those related to the entire value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is ESGEO, what does it represent, and which reference market does it operate in?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“ESGeo was founded in 2019<\/strong> as a startup focused on developing digital platforms for managing sustainability data and information. Today, ESGeo, with a team of more than 50 professionals<\/strong>, is part of the Avvale Group, a major international player in the IT system integration sector. Alongside the evolutions of its digital ESG platform, it has also introduced advisory activities<\/strong>, helping clients, particularly in the football sector, to develop their \u2018Sustainability Journey\u2019 by integrating ESG themes into their strategies and daily activities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, our offering today is dual and integrated: first and foremost, our digital ESG platform<\/strong> which can be used either stand-alone and\/or to support and integrate consulting activities<\/strong> for developing a concrete and reliable sustainability project for football teams. We have clients among Serie A clubs, as well as companies that provide services for stadiums. It is important to emphasize that our expertise is multi-sectoral, having over 150 clients<\/strong> in multiple commodity sectors, beyond the sports sector”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SFS 25<\/a> Manifesto <\/a>highlights how sustainability in football touches upon various aspects. What are the virtuous sporting models and paradigms? Which policies, on the other hand, does ESGeo oppose because they are potentially harmful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When we talk about a \u2018sustainability journey\u2019<\/strong>, we are referring to our proprietary methodology, which starts with an analysis of the club’s activities and then considers its entire value chain<\/strong>, including suppliers, fans, local communities, media, and shareholders. Our primary objective is to analyze business processes to identify relevant ESG issues and collect credible and verifiable data<\/strong> in order to define objectives and actions that are both practicable and communicable through ESG reports, also following European and international standards.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We work to create a systemic structure<\/strong> that, starting from the company, can extend beyond the club’s boundaries, also utilizing our digital technology, to appropriately involve interested stakeholders and collect relevant and traceable ESG data<\/strong>“.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sustainability is often perceived as a constraint. What is your vision? Are the European and UEFA policies too restrictive? And what are the main obstacles our country must overcome to close the gap<\/em> with other countries?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The UEFA<\/strong> is taking significant action in engaging federations, leagues, and clubs in Europe on sustainability issues. An example of this is the requirement that, starting from the 2025-26 season, all European clubs must comply with the sustainability requirements defined by the UEFA Club Licensing, demanding that European clubs have both a dedicated function and the development of an ESG strategy and policies to obtain the license.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is a substantial difference between those who act purely out of obligation<\/strong> and those who do so with a clear vision and purpose<\/strong>. Italian football shows a delay in terms of ESG maturity. Yet, football has a greater social impact<\/strong> compared to other sectors due to its visibility. The Premier League<\/strong> is ahead, with more structured policies and governance. In Italy, the system is evolving and has not yet achieved either full awareness of the importance of having a strategic ESG vision or the conviction of the positive impact it can generate. It might seem strange, but among Serie A clubs, apart from a few exceptions, there is greater dynamism on sustainability themes and activities in smaller clubs<\/strong> compared to the larger ones. This is because sustainability does not depend on size or revenue but on the purpose, the so-called \u201cpurpose,\u201d<\/strong> which is the true proactive engine of sustainability”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a political limit as well as a cultural one? In Italy, we are often reluctant to embrace stadium sustainability also due to administrative issues… in short, the private stadium seems like a mirage.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Timeliness is essential<\/strong> to provide certainty to those who want to invest. In Italy, the process is often complicated, partly due to a lack of funds. Italian structures have been called to action by Ceferin<\/strong> ahead of EURO 2032<\/strong> due to the poor current infrastructural conditions of the stadiums. We must act not because of a constraint<\/strong>, but for a purpose<\/strong>. And the purpose is not only social but also business-oriented<\/strong>, because sustainability generates incredible collateral benefits.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s CEOs have shifted from moral value to business value<\/strong>, aligning sustainability with fundamental business risks and operational realities such as costs, customers, commercial actions, and capital investments. Today, CEOs integrate sustainability into their presentations. The \u2018silent CEO\u2019 talks less about sustainability, but when they do, they present it as a tangible lever of business value. If this change in approach is not understood, sustainability will continue to be seen only as a mere constraint and cost<\/strong>“.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your company works with data and integrated reporting, the current \u201cwhite oil.\u201d Can you tell us about the present and future of data and the use of AI for data-driven research, in line with the pillar of new technologies in our manifesto?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI dati sono fondamentali, ma solo se usati con una strategia chiara<\/strong>. Il dato in s\u00e9 infatti \u00e8 insufficiente se non si \u00e8 in grado di capirlo, valutarlo e comunicarlo efficacemente.<\/em> ESGEO offers a digital platform for ESG governance<\/strong> useful for managing strategies, materiality, policies<\/em>, action plans, and MBOs for managers, going beyond mere data collection<\/em> and reporting<\/em>. We provide traceable, verifiable, and auditable<\/em> data thanks to our third-party certified platform. The complexity of a club requires innovative and technological tools, even for ESG<\/strong> management, even if not all actors are ready to fully exploit them today<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

SFS is proud to have you as a connected entity to our event. Can we have your feedback on the event and the platform as a fruitful moment for networking?<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe that SFS 25 is currently the only event in Italy with this structure<\/strong>, capable of bringing together so many players<\/em> with heterogeneous viewpoints and know-how<\/em>. This allows for the sharing of information and perspectives, helping the industry<\/em> to progress. And we, in turn, are proud to contribute to a panel<\/em> on ESG governance<\/em><\/strong>. Openness to change and a thirst for knowledge are fundamental to replicating evolved systems.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to add anything in conclusion?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, a club truly becomes sustainable when it goes beyond its own boundaries<\/strong> and clearly, transparently, and seriously involves its stakeholders<\/em> along its entire value chain. Those who favor a holistic philosophical methodology<\/strong> are on the right track. Let’s not limit ourselves to developing aseptic data and reports, but let’s develop and integrate our ‘Sustainability Journey.’<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
