UNIONE PROVINCIALE DI TORINO DI CONFCOOPERATIVE

The Unione Provinciale di Torino di Confcooperative was set up in 1949 as an instrument to bring together the cooperative movement in the social-christian area. It gradually strengthened its role as the trade union for cooperative businesses, safeguarding and representing its member companies and working to spread a new form of entrepreneurship in all sectors of the social and economic fabric of the area.

The business system headed by the Unione di Torino is distinguished by a large presence throughout the province of small and medium-sized companies deeply rooted in the local context. By creating consortium formulas, the organisation continues to maintain and strengthen the fundamental characteristics of participation and individual responsibilities of members in their relationship with a market which increasingly demands greater dimensions than those of individual cooperatives. There are 8 federations in the Unione Provinciale di Torino, which draw up the policies for the sectors and take part in drafting the strategies and implementing the overall objectives of confcooperative. There are now 400 member cooperatives.

Federabitazione: members include those cooperatives whose mission is to build or reclaim residential apartments to meet the needs for owner-occupied or non-owner-occupied dwellings.

Federagrolimentare: the cooperatives work in some special areas such as the development, transformation and sale of farm products, production and breeding.

Federconsumo: this federation comprises retailing cooperatives and other highly important cooperatives.

Federazione del credito cooperativo: this organisation comprises the 17 cooperative banks based in piedmont, Valle d'Aosta and Liguria.

Federcultura: this federation includes those cooperatives which work in the field of communication and information, tourist and hotel services, cultural activities, schools, sport and entertainment.

Federlavoro: this federation brings together industrial, business and advanced services, and road transport cooperatives. It is now rapidly expanding in the province of turin and makes a decisive contribution to local job creation and training new skills.

Federsolidarietà: this federation comprises 139 cooperatives employing thousands of members and operators in sectors which co-operate with various types of voluntary service, in the general interest of the community, for promoting human values and integrating citizens by managing health, welfare and educational services, as well as other activities: agricultural, industrial, commercial or work induction services for the disadvantaged.
