Gianluca Bufo, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Iren Group, discussed the company’s approach to generational turnover and the role of artificial intelligence in a recent interview. He stated that over 20% of Iren’s 12,000 employees are expected to retire in the next two to four years, and described AI as a tool to preserve institutional knowledge and improve operational processes, such as optimizing waste collection routes using sensor data. Bufo attributed these opportunities to the changing technological landscape compared to the company’s historical operations since its formation in 2010. Bufo also said that the vision for Iren’s future cannot be delegated to AI, describing it as rooted in the “DNA” of the group’s workforce and corporate values. He mentioned that the company would present its new industrial plan on October 27, outlining its direction through 2035, building on a previous plan that extended to 2030. His remarks emphasized that while AI is complementary to the company’s work, certain human and corporate assets remain central to its mission.
