Polis Nova Societa Cooperativa Sociale

What Polis Nova Societa Cooperativa Sociale does

Polis Nova Societa Cooperativa Sociale, operating under the brand Confcooperative Padova, is a non-profit cooperative association headquartered in Padova, Italy, founded in 1945 to represent and protect the moral and economic interests of cooperative enterprises in the Province of Padova. The organization functions as the provincial arm of the national Confcooperative federation — a system founded in 1919 that aggregates 17,000 cooperatives, 540,000 employees, and €81 billion in turnover across Italy. Polis Nova assists member cooperatives in administrative, legal, fiscal, financial, and trade-union matters, and provides governance-level representation at provincial, regional, and national bodies.

The service portfolio is delivered primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary VVP Servizi Srl, a shared services center offering 16 distinct professional services organized into personnel administration (Paghe FULL and SMART, Consulenza lavoro 360), corporate and fiscal consulting, accounting (Contabilità FULL and SMART), management control via a digital dashboard, organizational and legal consulting, corporate compliance, agricultural services, and sustainability and social-balance reporting under GRI standards. Services follow a dual FULL (fully managed) and SMART (client-managed with professional support) delivery model. There is no proprietary technology platform, app, API, or developer-facing integration referenced; the digital footprint is a DotNetNuke-based website plus an HR portal. The "Controllo di gestione" service exposes a digital panel with income, asset, and financial information used for planning and budgeting.

The revenue model is membership-driven and non-transparent. Annual membership fees are calculated proportionally based on each member cooperative's production value as reported in its latest financial statements, supplemented by a statutorily required "revisione" contribution tied to Confcooperative's surveillance role (which substitutes for Ministry of Labor inspections). Additional revenue accrues from VVP Servizi Srl's fee-based professional services. The GTM motion is relationship-based and regional: member onboarding, educational webinars (Rassegna Orientimpresa series), territorial news, and partnerships with GAL Patavino, Veneto Lavoro, universities, and trade associations. With 16 employees, the organization operates at a small scale relative to its national parent.

Direct peers

• Confagricoltura: Italian agricultural employers' federation with a strong cooperative and farm enterprise membership. Comparable in delivering advisory, fiscal, and labor services to agricultural cooperatives, overlapping with Confcooperative Padova's agricultural service line.
• CNA (Confederazione Nazionale dell'Artigianato e della Piccola e Media Impresa): Italian confederation representing artisans and SMEs through provincial chapters. Delivers a comparable bundle of fiscal, accounting, legal, and advisory services to small member enterprises, mirroring Confcooperative Padova's service model.
• Confcooperative Nazionale: National-level umbrella of the same Confcooperative system to which Confcooperative Padova belongs. Operates the same member-representation and service-support model across all Italian provinces, making it the most direct structural peer.
• AGCI (Associazione Generale Cooperative Italiane): Third major Italian cooperative federation offering similar representation, advisory, and member services. Competes head-to-head with Confcooperative Padova and Legacoop for cooperative affiliation at provincial and national levels.
• Coldiretti: Italy's largest agricultural association, providing representation, advisory, and member services to farm cooperatives and producers. Closely comparable in cooperative-association function within the agricultural segment, which is also served by Confcooperative Padova's Servizi in agricoltura offering.
• Confartigianato: Italian association representing artisan enterprises with provincial chapters providing fiscal, accounting, and consulting services. Structurally and functionally comparable to Confcooperative Padova, though focused on artisans rather than cooperatives.
• Confcooperative Veneto: Direct parent regional federation of Confcooperative Padova. Operates the same cooperative representation model one tier up and coordinates provincial affiliates including Padova, Vicenza, and Venezia.
• Legacoop: Italy's other major cooperative federation, providing representation, advisory, and member services to cooperatives nationwide. Directly competes with Confcooperative for cooperative membership and share-of-voice.

Broad incumbents

• Confcommercio: Italy's principal trade association for commerce, tourism, and services. Operates a comparable provincial-to-national representation and service-delivery structure, but addresses a broader commercial membership base rather than cooperatives specifically.
• Confindustria: Italy's main employers' federation representing industrial and service companies. Operates analogous provincial territorial structures and member services, but addresses a much broader industrial base rather than cooperative-form enterprises.
