CDP joins G∙row, the alliance for innovating business risk control and management

The partnership was presented at Rome’s industrial landmark, the Gazometro, with CDP joining forces with large businesses and SMEs in sharing best practices.
 

‘Evolving through Risk & Control Governance’ was the title of the G∙row Conference 2025 dedicated to the Alliance between businesses and institutions, set up by Eni with the goal of promoting change and consolidation in business risk control and management systems. The event involved representatives from the Bank of Italy, CONSOB, the OECD, Assonime, Nedcommunity and SDA Bocconi.

Cassa Depositi e Prestiti decided to share the spirit of the project from the very outset, alongside Eni and companies such as A2A, Ferrovie dello Stato, Leonardo, Nexi, Poste Italiane, Saipem, Snam and ATM: all together, playing a key role in accelerating the use of best practices in governance, especially for SMEs. The initiative is being developed with the strategic support of McKinsey & Company and the technological assistance of SAP Italia.

These companies, leaders in their sectors, are committed to sharing their know-how and consolidated expertise through a digital platform offering tools and resources for self-evaluation, benchmarking with comparable businesses and setting up a process to improve the risk control and management system. Plus the G∙row website is already on line, providing access to the core principles and contents of the initiative, constant updates and useful information for all companies interested in joining https://www.g-row.io/.

Manuela Sabbatini, Head of Internal Audit of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti explained how “the aim of G∙row is to promote sustainable growth, through a new perspective of the business risk control and management system, and its consolidation, which is entirely in line with the goal of CDP - which recently reached an important landmark of 175 years of activity – committed to accompanying the growth of Italian society and its economy”.
