Francesco Augurusa Elected National Deputy Vice President of Young Christian Entrepreneurs

For an Economy in Service of the Common Good

A particularly appreciated human and professional journey in UCID (Christian Union of
Entrepreneurs and Managers) is that of Francesco Augurusa, who over the years has developed
innovative paradigms of sustainability and social responsibility in businesses through the
Generative Restitution models of the Antonio Emanuele Augurusa Foundation, of which he is founder
and President. A commitment that earned him election as Deputy Vice President of the
UCID Youth Movement and the assignment of five delegations that he will carry forward along with
his role since 2021 as President of the UCID Calabria regional group.

With the delegation for Relations with the International Christian Union of Business
Executives (UNIAPAC), Augurusa will develop international relations with the global group
of Christian executives and entrepreneurs for the creation of an International Youth Group. With the
delegation for Responsible Investment Attraction, he will identify and facilitate
investments in Italy in strategic sectors for the country including renewable energy, digital
industry, sustainable infrastructure, and green manufacturing. With the delegation for Cultural
Activities, he will manage relationships with cultural institutions, public and private entities, associations and
non-profit organizations, universities, the Ministry of Culture, and other government bodies. With the delegation
for Labor, he will handle the design, management, and implementation of employment policies and
strategies concerning the labor market, employment, working conditions, professional training, and industrial relations. With the delegation for
Sustainability, ESG, and Environmental Transition, he will promote and implement training projects and
initiatives aimed at businesses to increase their awareness of sustainability, providing them with concrete tools to align with global sustainability requirements and
improve their international competitiveness.

We will also see him speak at two important UCID events, which
will enliven the Capital this week. Today, Thursday, November 28, at LUMSA University the conference “Civil Economy: From Words to Actions. Italian
