Legacoop Produzione e Servizi

What Legacoop Produzione e Servizi does

Legacoop Produzione e Servizi is the Italian national association representing cooperatives of production, labor and services, with a current membership of approximately 2,400 active cooperatives spanning nine sectors: construction and installation, logistics and transport, manufacturing and industrial, cleaning and integrated facility management, catering, private security, cultural heritage, design and engineering consulting, and ICT. These member cooperatives collectively generate around €17.72 billion in production value and employ roughly 144,000 people, and sit within the broader Legacoop system that reports over €91 billion in production value and more than 474,000 workers in its 2025 Sustainability Report. The association, headquartered in Rome at Via Giuseppe Antonio Guattani, is staffed by approximately 14 people and provides its members with advocacy, representation, training via partner Scuola Nazionale Servizi, legal and regulatory updates, public procurement support, and access to EU funding programs.

The organization's revenue model is based on membership contributions rather than product or service sales to external customers. Its go-to-market is community-led: it reaches cooperatives through sector-specific chapters, territorial assemblies, national direction meetings, and participation in EU projects. Recent strategic initiatives include the Re-Cooperiamo digital marketplace for circular economy exchange of unused business assets (launched end of 2024 in partnership with Sfridoo and Camst Group, entering wider rollout in December 2025), and ITINERA, a participatory planning program launched in March 2026 to shape strategic priorities ahead of the mid-term Assembly. The association operates within the Italian cooperative movement's broader governance framework, including Alleanza Cooperative Italiane and CECOP at the European level, and is supported by the mutual fund Coopfond.

• Confcommercio: Italy's main trade association for tertiary, services, and tourism companies; comparable as a national employers' federation signing CCNLs and providing training and EU project support, with overlapping member profiles in catering, cleaning, and ICT sectors.
• Confindustria: Italy's main employers' federation representing the broader industrial base; comparable as a national-level trade association engaging in collective bargaining (CCNL), public-procurement advocacy, and policy lobbying, but covering conventional for-profit companies rather than cooperatives.
• Coldiretti: Italy's largest agricultural employers' association, similar in operating model to LPS as a national trade body delivering representation, training, and CCNL bargaining — though focused on the agricultural rather than production-and-services cooperative sector.
• International Co-operative Alliance: Global apex body of the cooperative movement; comparable as the international counterpart providing legitimacy, shared principles, and policy frameworks that Italian cooperative associations like LPS align with and leverage for cross-border activity.
• Confapi (Confederazione Italiana Piccola e Media Industria): Italian confederation representing SMEs across production and services sectors; comparable as a sector-spanning trade association delivering training, representation, and CCNL negotiation, though focused on privately owned SMEs rather than cooperatives.

• CECOP-CICOPA Europe: European confederation of cooperatives in industry, services, and crafts; directly comparable as the European-level umbrella for cooperatives of production and services, of which LPS member cooperatives participate through European assemblies and policy work.
