Marco Maffei

Marco Maffei serves as a PartTime Lecturer at Roma Tre University, teaching in the Triennial Degree in Economics and Business Management and Master's Degree in Economics and Innovation Management programs. Concurrently, he is a KPMG partner leading Central/Southern Italy's Global Sustainability Service BU and public-sector advisory services for regions, provinces, and municipalities.

His research centers on sustainability-driven business model innovation, emphasizing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) reporting. He investigates how shared value creation with communities and financial stakeholders meets institutional information demands through transparent non-financial disclosure frameworks.

Recent 2021 publications analyze sustainability reporting evolution and framework standardization, building on his foundational 2010 KPMG position papers about single reporting implementation. His scholarly work demonstrates a clear trajectory from treating sustainability as operational cost toward recognizing its strategic value in stakeholder capitalism.

A leading Italian CSR opinion leader, Maffei chairs the Rome Chartered Accountants' Corporate Social Responsibility Commission and serves on the board of "Anima per il sociale nei valori d'impresa". He authors the "Affari buoni" column in La Stampa newspaper, bridging academic theory and professional practice.
