When we talk about sustainability and a different kind of economy, we’re not just referring to how we farm the land or welcome travelers, but also to how we manage the administrative and protective aspects of our association. That is why, for the insurance coverage of WWOOF Italia and our hosts, we have chosen to rely on CAES (Consorzio Assicurativo Etico e Solidale). .

CAES recently published its 2025 Common Good Report (a document so transparent and accurate that it won first place at the 2025 Quadrofedele Award for best social report). As we read through its pages, we are proud to see our collaboration mentioned among the national best practices that promote human development, environmental protection, and an alternative economic approach.

Why is CAES different?

While the traditional financial system tends to standardize contracts with the sole aim of maximizing profit, CAES puts people back at the center. It is a nonprofit organization that applies the principles of ethical finance to insurance brokerage, investing its savings responsibly (for example, through Banca Etica and Etica SGR) and offering customized policies developed through genuine dialogue with organizations in the third sector.

Protection Specifically for Our Hosts

This shared set of values translates into concrete protections. Together with CAES, we have designed an insurance solution exclusively for WWOOF Italia hosts, tailored to meet the specific needs and circumstances of those who welcome guests and share their lives in the countryside.
