What Verde Ambiente does

Verde Ambiente is an Italian environmental services company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Cavallino-Treporti, in the metropolitan City of Venice. The company is structured as a family-owned Società a responsabilità limitata (S.r.l.) with share capital of €46,481.13, controlled by three Angiolin brothers, and operates with approximately 30-40 employees. It provides a diversified portfolio of services including waste collection and disposal, gardening and green area maintenance, excavation and demolition, environmental remediation, asbestos abatement (ETERNIT), construction, beach cleaning, park maintenance, and street sweeping. End products from waste processing include biological soil (compost) and recycled aggregates.

The company's operations are anchored by three waste recovery facilities in Cavallino-Treporti and an authorized vessel for transporting waste within the Venice lagoon. It holds SOA certifications in categories OG1 (civil buildings), OG3 (roads), OG12 (environmental remediation), and OS24 (green areas) at Class II, qualifying it for public contracts up to €618,000. Additional credentials include ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental management), registrations with Italy's Albo Nazionale Gestori Ambientali for multiple waste categories, and a Synesgy ESG certification. These credentials, combined with the company's lagoon-vessel asset, create meaningful barriers to entry in the Venetian coastal service area.

Verde Ambiente generates revenue primarily through public sector contracts (municipal tenders, beach concessions), commercial clients (tourism operators, construction firms, campsites), and private individuals. Notable clients include Porto Turistico di Jesolo, Camping Casemobili, and Studio di Architettura Ballarin Renzo. The company has received European regional development grants (€93,900 from POR FESR 2014-2020 and €69,200 from PSC 2014-2020) and maintains partnerships with the University of Padua for marine wildlife recovery and Apindustria Servizi for workforce training. Its geographic footprint covers Cavallino-Treporti, Jesolo, San Donà di Piave, Venice, and the lagoon islands.
