In their contribution published on Huffington Post on June 13, 2025, lawyer Francesco Fiore and Dr. Carlo Cunto analyze the so-called participatory turn of companies, a transformation that involves the company organization and internal decision-making dynamics.
The authors highlight how a growing number of companies are adopting models that involve greater involvement of workers, stakeholders and local communities. This evolution is not just a cultural trend, but reflects a concrete need to strengthen corporate resilience, improve transparency and create shared value.
Fiore and Cunto delve into the main legal tools that can facilitate this transition, including internal participation mechanisms, more inclusive governance models and new contractual forms. The challenge, they explain, is to balance organizational innovation and legal certainty, enhancing the human and relational capital of the company.
