Cooperativa Coesa

What Cooperativa Coesa does

Cooperativa Coesa (legal name: COESA Società Cooperativa Sociale Impresa Sociale) is an Italian social cooperative founded in 2001 and headquartered in Pinerolo, Piemonte, operating across multiple sub-regions of the Turin province including the Pinerolese, Orbassanese, Valli di Lanzo, Chierese, and Valli di Susa e Sangone. The cooperative delivers social welfare services through four primary verticals: disability services (Area Disabilità, including day centers, residential communities, apartment groups, and territorial educational services), elderly care (Area Terza Età, including the Casa Barbero residential home), child and minor services (Servizi Area Minori, including municipal nurseries and micronidi), and employment services (Servizi al Lavoro, including Garanzia Giovani). Service delivery is carried out through a network of more than 20 physical facilities operated under public contracts with municipal consortiums (notably C.I.S.S. and C.I.di.S.) and individual municipalities, with additional secondary revenue from private-sector clients via the wholly-owned subsidiary Cooperativa Sociale Cultura e Ambiente, which provides ISO 9001:2015 certified cleaning, sanitation, green area maintenance, and pest control services. The organization employs 103 staff, is governed under the cooperative mutualist model as a member of Federsolidarietà, and operates under Italian Law 381/91, with reported user satisfaction rates of 94-96% at its day centers and recognition as Cavaliere e Ambasciatore del Bene in 2024. No public technology platform, digital product, or proprietary software is part of the offering; operations are staff-intensive and built on human service delivery rather than technology automation.
