Bain & Company has appointed Matteo Capellini as Global Head of its Sustainability Value Creation Solution, the consulting firm's practice area focused on integrating sustainability strategy with core business strategy. The practice has worked on nearly 800 projects since 2021, and its stated aim is to convert environmental, social and governance considerations from a regulatory or reputational obligation into a driver of measurable business value.
Capellini brings more than 20 years of experience advising major international retail, mass-market distribution, food, fashion, luxury and beauty companies. His work focuses on both sustainability strategy and the construction and implementation of decarbonisation roadmaps, including addressing Scope 3 emissions generated by suppliers and end customers, a category widely considered among the hardest to measure and manage. He has also worked on large-scale supplier engagement programmes and on redesigning products and business models around circular economy principles.

Capellini joined Bain in 2008, left in 2013 to take on roles of increasing responsibility at notebook and accessories company Moleskine, where he served as Global Product Marketing Director, and returned to Bain in 2018. Since rejoining, he has served as the global reference point for Bain's retail sustainability practice and as sustainability lead for the firm's Italian office.
Pierluigi Serlenga, Bain's managing partner for Italy and Southern and Eastern Europe, described the appointment as recognition of a track record of professional excellence and confirmation of the Italian office's role as a strategic hub within Bain globally. Federica Levato, senior partner and Italy talent lead, said Capellini's experience across fashion, luxury, food and retail positioned him to help clients convert sustainability commitments into measurable results amid market uncertainty and evolving regulation.
