Who we are

The type B social cooperative Esedra was established in 1994. In February 2010 it split into two divisions: Esedra energia – the energetical division, working on electricity and renewable energies –  and Esendra ambiente – the environmental division, working on agriculture, green maintenance and forest services.

These two merged again in 2014, keeping each its own professional characteristics and working fields while increasing synergies between the various cooperative’s actors, thus becoming Esedra Società Cooperativa Sociale.
