Founded in 1946, the association is guided by the principles of social Christian doctrine, emphasizing human dignity, entrepreneurship, and solidarity within the economic sphere. Confcooperative Bologna initially focused on the agri-food and housing construction sectors but has expanded to encompass services for businesses, individuals, and the production-labor sector. The association represents 200 member companies with over 70,000 members, employing 15,500 workers and generating a total production value of nearly 4 billion euros. A distinctive feature of Confcooperative Bologna is its close collaboration with 8 local cooperative credit banks, which prioritize support for families and small and medium-sized enterprises, reflecting the association's commitment to the local community and a human-centered approach to business.[/description][ps]Business support, advocacy, and networking for cooperative enterprises.[/ps]
