Italy social economy and charity regulation

Overview

Italy is advancing structural and regulatory changes regarding its social economy and charitable activities. The government has implemented a national action plan to integrate cooperatives, social enterprises, and Third Sector entities into the national economic system through social innovation and labor inclusion.

Parallel to these structural shifts, new transparency regulations have been established under Law no. 120/2026, referred to as the ‘DDL Beneficenza’ or ‘DDL Ferragni’. This law requires producers and sellers to clearly disclose the beneficiary, purpose, and specific amount or percentage of proceeds destined for charity during solidarity-based sales. These disclosures must appear on packaging, in retail settings, and within advertising or influencer marketing. Companies are also required to notify the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) at least 15 days prior to such sales, with violations carrying fines between 5,000 and 50,000 euros.
