A total of 142.762 companies of all sizes - employing a total of 5.235.029 workers - are voluntary members of the organisation.

In its by-laws, Confindustria pledges to contribute to Italy’s economic and social growth by cooperating with both Italian and international political institutions and economic, social and cultural organisations.

To this end, Confindustria represents the interests of Italian companies to leading political and administrative institutions, including parliament, the government, trade unions and other social partners.
