Cooperativa Serena has grown in 2023, as demonstrated by the numbers meticulously displayed at the shareholders’ meeting in recent days when the financial statements were presented and then approved. The cooperative, which operates mainly in the Ferrara area – and is part of the Confcooperative Ferrara system – had emerged from a difficult 2022 due to the legacy left by the pandemic, the consumption crisis and increases in energy costs. 2023 ends, however, with great satisfaction and confidence in the years to come “as evidence of everyone’s great work and a company that has been able to hold on during a particularly difficult period” commented President Dusi.
The director of Confcooperative Ferrara, Ruggero Villani, also took part in the meeting and highlighted how Serena is an important social actor and point of reference for workers and families in the area.
The cooperative was founded in 1986, has its new headquarters in Via Maestri del Lavoro, 5 in Ferrara, and deals with the management of social-welfare, health and educational services. And it is one of the main companies involved in social work in the province of Ferrara where almost all of its services aimed at children, young people, adults, the elderly and the disabled are located.
“The perspective has always been to commit its own resources and energy to professionalism, training, instrumentation, research and innovation” states president Claudio Dusi at the helm of Coop Serena since 2016 “to ensure interventions that respond to evolving needs and growing demand quality”.
The elective assembly reconfirmed Serena Claudio Dusi as president of Coop for the three-year period 2024/2027 and elected the new board of directors with Chiara Bertolasi as vice president, Maria Luisa Cannavale, Tomas Gallerani, Marianna Luciani, Simona Mosca, Simone Minichiello, Francesca Rosignoli, Roberto vannini.
Coop Serena employs 494 workers, of which 307 are members. The services offered by the cooperative directly or in collaboration with other local entities reach more than 5,000 beneficiaries.
All members were given a copy of the 2023 Social Report, together with the “Serena Mag”, a small booklet that traces the most important events of the past year.
