Renaissance Evolution Academy As part of our organization’s mission to promote a new standard of minimal government interaction and sustainable business practices, Renaissance Evolution Academy has created two world-class programs for the benefit of its members and beyond. The first is a certification program focusing on companies’ performance in the areas of; sustainability, philanthropy, corporate social responsibility, climate change, transparency, and cultural diversity practices.

Most, if not all of these topics have been operational themes encountered by companies.

However, our approach is modern and takes into consideration not just the human side of the equation, but also the impact on the participating company’s bottom line. A true balance of business operations and global social responsibility can go hand in hand in making a corporation more profitable while differentiating it from others in its category.

Our intent is to ensure that corporations help reduce government dependence and leave a tangible positive footprint in the markets / countries where they operate. The goodwill generated will have a multiplier effect in terms of its brand, market expansion as well as increased earnings.

Renaissance Evolution Academy is collaborating with leading international academic institutions to insert the Chief Cultural Officer executive curriculum methodology in their MBA. In today’s economy interaction with representatives, businesses and consumers from multiple countries, cultural / political / economic backgrounds is the norm. Understanding how to approach and cohesively apply inclusive business practices that allow seamless navigation of the new and continually evolving business diversity issues are key in the successful operation and expansion of companies. Our holistic approach to multinational; politics, culture, philanthropy, legal, regulatory, integrated communications, economic and environmental factors among others will position our Chief Cultural Officer candidates to successfully become the multinational face both internally and externally for its corporation. This new C-Level position will interact with internal divisions of; Government Affairs, Diversity, Communications, Strategy, Human Resources, Financial, Operations and others with direct impact on the corporate P&L.

This complete view of the company and its global, national and regional operations as well as its understanding of the local cultures and leading community / political figures in markets represented will in fact position him/her as a corporate ambassador. Much like a Secretary of State or Minister of Foreign Affairs, The Chief Cultural Officer will ensure that a company’s global approach to business is market relevant, profitable and sustainable.

The 8 pillars of our Curriculum program: Transparency & Ethics, Sustainability, Culture & Education, Health / Wellbeing & Happiness, Trade / Economic Opportunity, Foreign Policy, Business for Good, Diplomacy & Peace Building.

Pier Ferdinando Casini is an Italian politician. He was President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies from 2001 to 2006. Casini is currently Honorific President of the Centrist Democrat International and Honorary President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and formerly was majority faction leader of the Union of the Centre (UdC).

Casini was born in Bologna and graduated with a degree in law. He was first elected in 1983 for the Christian Democracy party. In 1993, he was amongst the founders of the Christian Democratic Centre (CCD), which merged into Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC) in 2002. In 2001, after Silvio Berlusconi's victory in the general election, Casini was chosen by the newly formed parliament as President of the Chamber of Deputies (the Italian lower house of parliament). Up to 2006, with his UDC, he was widely regarded as one of the primary members of the House of Freedoms, and sometimes spoken of as a possible successor to Berlusconi himself as leader of the coalition. However, as the campaign for the 2008 general election began, Casini officially detached himself from Berlusconi's coalition, refusing to enter his new People of Freedom (PdL) party, preferring to contest the election alone. In a speech to his UDC party, Casini said that "not everyone is for sale", in a not so veiled statement about Berlusconi's political tactics. Casini ran on a purely 'centrist' platform, expanding the UDC into the Union of the Centre (UdC) along with Savino Pezzotta's White Rose. After 2008, he remained in opposition. At the 2009 Administrative elections, alliances were decided on a local basis, sometimes with PdL, and sometimes with the Democratic Party.

In 2018 Casini was re-elected Senator in the single-member college of Bologna with the support of the centre-left coalition.
