Steward-Owned Companies We Work With

Steward ownership is taking root in companies all around the world, across industries and sizes. The ones you’ll find here are the companies we’ve directly worked with and/ or stand close to. Each of them has anchored steward ownership in its legal DNA, keeping the company independent and mission-oriented in the long term.

We work together in different ways. With some, it started on a conference stage or somewhere else in the ecosystem. Others we accompanied as consultants on their path into steward ownership. Some we backed as investors. In a few, we hold a veto-share to keep the steward ownership principles protected within the company.

Each relationship is different. What’s the same everywhere: these companies have made steward ownership legally binding, and we’ve been part of their story in one way or another we know of.

Many more wonderful steward owned businesses are out there and may have been inspired through our or our partners work to inspire and enable around steward ownership, too. Or they were around long before steward ownership became what it is today. Please find more information on steward-ownership.com.
