STATEMENT

PVBLIC Foundation joins the global community in honoring the life and legacy of His Holiness Pope Francis—a moral compass for our time and a messenger of unity, dignity, and care for our shared future.

His Holiness reminded us that systems must serve people, that progress must preserve nature, and that dignity belongs to all—not just in word, but in practice. His call for a “culture of encounter” resonated deeply with our institutional belief that lasting change begins with connection: between people, between sectors, and between generations.

Through his leadership and through the work of his foundation Scholas Occurrentes, we were humbled to walk beside his vision—bridging media, capital, and technology in the service of inclusive education and planetary well-being. His voice helped shift global conversations toward empathy, sustainability, and the kind of innovation rooted not in disruption, but in responsibility.

As we carry our work forward, we do so with renewed clarity: that systems change begins with human connection. That data must elevate dignity. That capital must move with conscience.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Holy See and all those around the world who carry his light forward.

Rest in power, Holy Father.

Your voice helped shape a better world. Now, it is on us to continue the work.
