Driving Sustainability Through Co-Design and Engagement
At the heart of Focus Lab’s work is co-design—bringing people together to create sustainable solutions. They facilitate events and stakeholder engagement paths using dialogue, design thinking, and networking. Whether it’s businesses, employees, customers, or communities, the goal is to stimulate creativity and improve collaboration. By mixing animation, visualization, and research techniques, they help clients explore scenarios and develop actionable plans that truly make a difference.
Expertise in Sustainability-ESG Management
Focus Lab offers hands-on support in defining strategic and operational plans that integrate Smart City criteria, urban regeneration, sustainable mobility, and social innovation. Their work aligns with the EU Urban Agenda and helps organizations embed environmental and social governance (ESG) into their core strategies. From drafting sustainability reports to assessing double materiality, they provide technical and operational expertise that drives measurable progress.
Championing the Green and Circular Economy
Environmental criteria are woven into every product development strategy and process Focus Lab supports. Their work ranges from supply chain improvements to green office initiatives, climate impact assessments, and green training programs. By promoting circular economy principles, they help clients reduce waste, optimize resources, and create sustainable value chains that benefit both business and planet.

Why Focus Lab Stands Out
Focus Lab isn’t just a consultancy—they’re a certified B Corp and one of Italy’s first Benefit Corporations, committed to doing business differently. Their B Impact Score of 154 out of 200 places them among the top B Corps in Italy. Recognized internationally as “Best for the World Community” and “Changemakers,” they practice what they preach by creating social and environmental value alongside economic success. Their ongoing commitment to sustainability is evident in every project, every partnership, and every strategy they help build.
