Purpose Economy

Steward-ownership brings together start-ups, medium-sized companies and large corporations. It combines modern with traditional entrepreneurship, economic sustainability with profitability.

Steward-ownership is a proven ownership model that has been practiced for many decades and has been implemented by companies such as Zeiss (Germany), Novo Nordisk (Denmark), Patagonia (USA), Bosch (Germany), Signal (USA), BuurtzorgT (Netherlands), Carlsberg (Denmark) and many others. At the same time, steward-ownership is also an innovative alternative to traditional forms of ownership. It enables start-ups to legally secure their purpose orientation and medium-sized companies as well as hidden champions to build economically sustainable structures in which successors can become responsible owners in a company regardless of family affiliation or financial situation.
