Italian Welfare

What Italian Welfare does

Italian Welfare is a Rome-based advisory firm founded in 2016 that provides strategic consulting, proprietary measurement frameworks, and certification services to Italian enterprises, pension funds, mutual aid societies, and health insurance funds seeking to design, implement, and optimize corporate welfare programs. The firm operates across four consulting areas — Global Welfare Model, Welfare Advisory, Supplementary Healthcare, and Complementary Pensions — and supports customers on strategy, benchmarking, provider selection, contract negotiation, governance, risk management, ESG reporting, and regulatory compliance. Its core technology assets are the proprietary Global Welfare Model and the Global Welfare Score, a four-index algorithm (Needs, Inclusivity, Social Sustainability, Communication) built on benchmark data from more than 200 companies covering over 800,000 workers, plus the FP Risk Tool software for pension fund governance and IORP II compliance.

The company monetizes primarily through quote-based professional services engagements across welfare advisory, supplementary healthcare consulting, and pension fund consulting, with incremental licensing revenue from the FP Risk Tool software. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by founder-led advisory relationships with named Italian blue-chips such as Enel, Eni, Leonardo, Intesa Sanpaolo, Terna, Fastweb, and Italgas, supplemented by thought leadership through the Osservatorio Italian Welfare research arm, the Global Welfare Summit event, and recurring publications. The firm holds an operating relationship with COVIP, the Italian pension fund regulator, positioning it as the compliance intermediary for institutional clients during administrative or inspection activities. Distribution is single-country (Italy) and direct, with no disclosed PLG, self-serve, or channel-based motions and no app, API, or SDK surface.

Italian Welfare is privately held, founder-led by Stefano Castrignanò (President and Director of the Osservatorio Italian Welfare), employs 8 people, has no disclosed funding rounds or parent company, and has no public revenue disclosure. It also holds no listed patents, awards, or formal regulatory actions in the available data.
