Really appreciate this post and the mention of our recent report about investing in Employee Ownership! This is a great, clear, summary of some of the needs and tensions in the field. Thanks!
At Transform Finance, this work sits within our broader Alternative Ownership program which focuses on encouraging the adoption of corporate structures that share wealth and control with a company's stakeholders, not just its shareholders. In short, employee ownership is fabulous and it's also interesting to think about ownership being shared with customers, suppliers, community members or even with nature. I'm curious whether you've looked into those models such as purpose trusts, or granting nature a seat on corporate boards, etc. Those are interesting models when thinking about how capitalism could evolve. What do you think?
