VENICE SUSTAINABILITY
FOUNDATION
VENICE SUSTAINABILITY
The main modus operandi of the Foundation is to accompany, promote and accelerate projects proposed directly or indirectly by its members, thus contributing, thanks to the breadth of its partnership, to make the implementation path smoother.
The Foundation’s sphere of activity is developed around9 thematic areas relevant to the sustainable development of Venice. Each theme – and their interdependence – is brainstormed among partners to define the projects that the Foundation will accompany.
The transversal projects are divided into cross-sectoral/multi-sectoral activities and initiatives which are instrumental for the best success of the thematic areas activities.
