Description

UCL School of Management is delighted to welcome Common Home, a global forum founded in 2022 by Assoholding and the Regenerative Marketing Institute. In an expert-led discussion with industry thought leaders, Philip Kotler and Christian Sarkar, this day will explore how purpose-driven business and regenerative thinking can shape more sustainable and inclusive futures.

As a leading international platform, it brings together influential voices across academia, policy, and business to confront the defining challenges of our time: sustainability, innovation, climate change, civil rights, and inclusive development. Initially hosted in Rome, it has since expanded into a global movement, committed to building a “humanity-compliant” world through research, dialogue, and collective action. Combining the agility of a media company with the depth of a think tank, Common Home promotes regenerative development models inspired by the principles of civil economy and anchored in universal human values. 

The seminar presents a rich and internationally curated programme, designed to challenge conventional thinking and inspire transformative action. Expect to hear a keynote speech on the future of sustainable business from UCL School of Management’s Professor Paolo Taticchi, a talk on tackling “wicked problems” by Christian Sarkar, and in-depth panels featuring global leaders such as David Cobb, Jonathon Porritt, Diana Verde Nieto, and Alfredo De Massis. The discussions will explore various themes ranging from wellbeing economies to regenerative business.
