Co-founder of Zelian Srl – Sustainability and Environmental Communication Expert
Andrea Lupo and Erica Lo Buglio, co-founders of Zelian Srl, have been working for nearly 30 years on issues related to the environment, sustainable development, and the green/circular economy—initially for multinational companies and later as consultants for businesses, public institutions, and associations.
Both Andrea and Erica are members of the Green Economy Network of Assolombarda and of the Energy and Environment Commission of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris.
As members of the ICC Commission, they contributed to the development of:
- The ICC Business Charter for Sustainable Development
- The Green Economy Roadmap, a document addressed to businesses, policymakers, and civil society for the development and implementation of green economy policies and actions
- The ICC Framework for Responsible Environmental Marketing Communications
- The ICC Informal Working Group on Green Claims
Both have been involved in environmental and sustainability reporting since 1996 and closely follow the evolution of sustainability and ESG KPIs developed by leading international standard-setters.
Since 2021, they have coordinated the annual workshop “Non-financial reporting in business strategy”, as part of the course Institutional Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility at the Department of Communication and Social Research, Sapienza University of Rome.
Andrea holds a degree in Business Administration from Bocconi University in Milan and a postgraduate specialization in Scientific Communication (a program established by the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Milan, in collaboration with the “Carlo de Martino” Institute for Journalism Training in Milan).
