Agreement between Harley&Dikkinson and UniAbita with Coop Lombardia: members, 4% premium on renovations

Coop Lombardia and Harley&Dikkinson - a company specialising for over 20 years in the enhancement of buildings - together with UniAbita have entered into a strategic partnership with the aim of making the renovation and, above all, the energy requalification of homes more accessible, sustainable and of quality for Coop Lombardia members. The agreement is part of a context in which the upgrading of real estate is a central lever both for improving living comfort and for the transition towards more responsible building models.

In detail, the agreement was signed between Coop Lombardia and BuildingLife, a company owned by Harley&Dikkinson and UniAbita, one of the leading housing cooperatives nationwide. Through an operation with prizes, the agreement provides Coop Lombardia members with a concrete economic benefit equal to 4% of the taxable value of the renovation work, recognised in the form of shopping vouchers that can be used at all Coop Lombardia points of sale.
The operational core of the partnership is the opening of a HD One Stop Shop inside the Centro Commerciale Bonola in Milan (via Quarenghi), which serves as an information and direct contact point for Members interested in residential renovation.
Through the shop, Harley&Dikkinson makes available its network of professionals, qualified companies and supply chain partners in the Lombardy region, guaranteeing comprehensive support on technical, fiscal, financial, organisational and guarantee aspects, with the aim of ensuring quality renovations.
In this way, Coop Lombardia will also offer its consumers an additional reason to join the Cooperative, which already has over 750,000 members.
The opening of the Bonola shop represents a strategic starting point, in view of a possible extension to other Coop realities in Lombardy. In fact, the partnership was created with the ambition of configuring itself as a structured, scalable and replicable model, capable of bringing the HD One Stop Shop system into proximity contexts, making access to energy requalification simpler, more transparent and widespread throughout the territory.

At the heart of the agreement is the HD Sistema Ristrutturazione model, which will be operated by the company BuildingLife, born from the common vision of HD and UniAbita, and which will accompany Coop members along the entire renovation path, offering integrated and "turnkey" support covering all aspects of the project: from technical and design assessment to operational, fiscal and financial management of interventions, including organisational and warranty aspects. A structured approach designed to simplify complex decisions, guarantee real quality interventions and promote sustainable choices, reducing risks and complexity for citizens.

"We have found in Coop Lombardia a partner sensitive to the mission and values of Harley&Dikkinson, with whom we share a vision of truly sustainable urban regeneration, also from a social point of view. For us, this agreement represents the first step of a broader path, which we hope will progressively extend to other shops in Lombardy,' said Alessandro Ponti, president of Harley&Dikkinson. 'Through the HD One Stop Shop model, we make available to Coop Lombardia members the entire network of professionals, qualified companies, and supply chain partners active in Lombardy, guaranteeing integrated responses from planning to the completion of the work. The objective is clear: to accompany renovation projects of real quality, capable of generating value over time for people, families and communities".

"Cooperation," added Alfredo De Bellis, president of Coop Lombardia, "was born to concretely improve the quality of life of people and communities. With this initiative, we want to offer our members an extra tool to tackle an important issue such as the renovation of their homes in a simple way, combining environmental sustainability, quality of living and above all concrete economic benefits. The collaboration with Harley&Dikkinson and UniAbita represents an example of how different worlds can work together to generate real value for citizens and the territory".
