Bain & Company names Matteo Capellini global head of Sustainability Value Creation

Bain & Company announced the appointment of Matteo Capellini as Global Head of its Sustainability Value Creation Solution. Capellini, who has led Bain’s sustainability practice in Italy and previously served as Global Product Marketing Director at Moleskine, rejoined the firm in 2018 after an earlier stint from 2008 to 2013. In his new role he will guide clients in turning ESG commitments into measurable business value, positioning sustainability as a core strategic lever rather than a peripheral compliance task.

The move comes as regulators such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the US SEC’s climate‑disclosure rules tighten, prompting companies to embed sustainability from day one. Federica Levato, Senior Partner and Head of Talent Italy at Bain, said Capellini’s experience across fashion, luxury, food and retail equips him to help clients “transform sustainability commitments into measurable results.” Capellini added, “I’ve watched plenty of sustainability programs get built as side projects… the ones that survive were part of the strategy from day one.”
