Our story and shareholders

Who we are

COR Natura and Our Shareholders

COR Natura was established by three of the most reliable Italian operators in the waste management and facility management sectors, with an aggregate turnover exceeding €700 million and more than 6,000 employees.

The platform brings together Ciclat Group, Operosa and Roma Costruzioni – companies backed by over 70 years of combined industrial heritage and a long-standing reputation for operational excellence, financial solidity and institutional credibility.

The initiative was created to support international growth by combining strong local market knowledge with international expertise in the development, financing and operation of complex waste and environmental industrial projects.

We operate as an integrated industrial platform, acting as investor, developer and long-term operator, specialized in the investment, development, construction and management of waste treatment, recovery and disposal facilities.

Over the years, our shareholders have financed, developed and managed more than 15 waste treatment and environmental plants, gaining hands-on experience across multiple technologies and treatment solutions – including collection systems, material recovery, mechanical-biological treatment, industrial and hazardous waste facilities, and final disposal infrastructure.

This extensive track record has enabled the Group to build deep operational know-how across the entire project lifecycle:

  • feasibility and permitting engineering and construction;
  • financing and structuring operations and long-term asset management.

Our strength lies in the solid industrial background of our shareholders and associated companies, which collectively represent decades of continuous presence in the environmental, infrastructure and industrial services sectors.

This long-standing experience is widely recognized for its reliability, technical excellence and regulatory compliance, enabling us to operate effectively in highly regulated, capital-intensive and mission-critical markets.

An Industrial Heritage Built on Trust

Our companies have been active for more than seven decades, operating across complex, regulated and environmentally sensitive sectors, with a distinctive specialization in waste management, environmental services, operations and industrial project development.

Over the years, we have acted not only as service providers, but as industrial partners, investing in, developing and managing strategic infrastructure that supports communities, public authorities and industrial clients throughout the entire lifecycle of their environmental assets.

Our experience spans the full value chain – from project origination, permitting and engineering, to construction, operations and long-term asset management – with a particular focus on waste treatment and recovery platforms.

Our history is defined by:

  • Proven execution capability across operations and industrial environments;
  • End-to-end development of complex waste and environmental infrastructure projects;
  • Deep technical expertise in plant engineering, operations management and regulatory compliance;
  • Financial and operational solidity ensuring long-term reliability and continuity of service;
  • Long-term relationships with public authorities, regulators and industrial clients.
  • A reputation for seriousness, transparency and full environmental and governance compliance.

 

This heritage represents more than experience – it is a trusted industrial platform that enables us to structure, finance, develop and operate complex projects with confidence, delivering measurable environmental performance while creating lasting value for the territories we serve.

Every new initiative builds on this foundation, combining local knowledge, international standards and a constant commitment to sustainability, operational excellence and circular economy principles.
