What Collaboriamo does

Collaboriamo is an Italian non-profit association (Associazione Collaboriamo) founded on February 7, 2025 in Modena and registered with the Registro Unico Nazionale del Terzo Settore (RUNTS). It serves as the custodian of the Modello OC (Organizzazione Collaborativa), a structured governance and organizational framework that introduces intergenerational decision-making to Italian organizations. Its primary customer segments are Italian Società per Azioni, cooperatives, Srl companies, public entities, foundations, associations, sports clubs (ASD/APS), and Gruppi di Acquisto Solidale that seek to adopt long-term, community-oriented governance practices.

The association's core product is the OC Model, a packaged methodology built from several interlocking instruments: the Rappresentante delle Future Generazioni (Future Generations Representative), the Piano Prospettico di Azione Quinquennale (five-year action plan, PPAQ), the Bilancio Riassuntivo Quinquennale (five-year summary report, BRQ), the Patto con le Future Generazioni (financial accountability contract), and the Manifesto Collaborativo (20-commitment protocol). It also promotes Società Collaborativa, a hybrid Srl structure that introduces capitaio voting (one person, one vote) within existing Article 2468 of the Italian Civil Code. A specialized sub-product, MOCS (Modello OC per lo Sport), extends the framework to sports associations in partnership with MOCA Future Designers, a University of Florence spin-off. A trademarked certification, Marchio OC, signals adoption to the market.

Collaboriamo operates a community-led go-to-market model, generating revenue through recurring membership fees from organizations that adopt the OC Model. Distribution is driven by direct engagement, content marketing via its website, public events (notably the February 2025 founding event in Modena and the June 2025 CER conference in Puglia), and referrals from an ecosystem of strategic partners including ESG consultancy Doyle, sustainability advisor UOMOeAMBIENTE, governance firm Aksilia Group, sports promotion body CSEN, and Cooperativa Insieme. Governance is delivered through a Board of Directors, a Technical-Scientific Committee, and an Ethics Committee staffed by former senators, university professors, and senior figures from Italian sustainability institutions.

Direct peers

• Confcooperative: Confederation of Italian cooperatives that represents, certifies, and promotes cooperative enterprises across Italy. Highly comparable to Collaboriamo as a non-profit, membership-based association governing and certifying a specific Italian corporate form (cooperatives), with similar advocacy and member-service functions.
• B Lab Global: Global non-profit certifying body for B Corp certification, evaluating companies on social, environmental, and governance performance. Comparable as a non-profit that certifies/brands organizations for stakeholder-governance and sustainability standards, operating a parallel membership/certification revenue model.
• Legacoop: One of Italy's largest cooperative federations, advocating for and servicing cooperative and participatory enterprises. Directly comparable to Collaboriamo in its non-profit membership association structure promoting an alternative, values-driven corporate model across Italian sectors.
• Nativa: Italian sustainability consultancy and B Corp partner that promotes Benefit Corporation / Società Benefit adoption and ESG transformation. Closely comparable to Collaboriamo as an Italian organization actively promoting and certifying an alternative, stakeholder-oriented corporate form (Società Benefit) with similar governance-innovation and ESG overlap.

Others

• Long Now Foundation: Non-profit established to foster long-term thinking and responsibility across generations (10,000-year clock and projects). Conceptually comparable to Collaboriamo's intergenerational governance mission and Future Generations Representative, though operating across a much wider cultural/intellectual remit rather than corporate form certification.
• AGICI (Associazione Governance dei Sistemi Industriali Complessi): Italian association focused on corporate governance research and advocacy. Related as an Italian non-profit working at the intersection of governance reform, ESG, and stakeholder models — thematically adjacent to Collaboriamo's governance-innovation focus.

Broad incumbents

• Fondazione per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile: Italian foundation promoting sustainable development and circular economy practices among businesses and institutions. Comparable as an established non-profit promoting long-horizon, sustainability-aligned frameworks to Italian organizations, though broader in remit than Collaboriamo's specific OC Model.
• Forum Nazionale del Terzo Settore: Italian national forum representing third-sector (non-profit) organizations. Adjacent non-profit association active in the same RUNTS-regulated third-sector ecosystem in which Collaboriamo is registered, with related advocacy and representation functions for member organizations.
• ASVIS (Alleanza Italiana per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile): Broad Italian alliance of institutions and organizations advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Comparable as a wider-reaching, established non-profit ecosystem player that promotes long-term, sustainability-oriented thinking — overlapping conceptually with Collaboriamo's intergenerational mission, though broader in scope.

Regional players

• Future Generations Commissioner for Wales: Public statutory body in Wales ensuring public bodies consider the long-term impact of their decisions on future generations — a regional precedent for institutionalizing Future Generations representation. Conceptually comparable to Collaboriamo's Rappresentante delle Future Generazioni, though operating as a Welsh state body rather than a non-profit association.
