Innovation, diversity and sustainability are the way forward for companies today highlights Mariangela Marseglia, VP & Country Manager Amazon.it and Amazon.es, in a conversation in the Executive Chats series with Rector Gianmario Verona.

“Becoming more inclusive and diverse in way we do business is really a priority and in doing so we can be more innovative as we include perspectives from different angles,” she says. “The time for talk on diversity and inclusion is over – now is the time to take actions.”

Another main focus is sustainability, she says. “The environment is a priority. We are creating new technologies to reduce our carbon footprint and are investing in innovative startups that are creating technologies for the environment.”

Regards innovation, “it is at the core of everything we do. We believe in bottom-up innovation and anyone at Amazon can present their ideas to leadership.”
