About this Event
The Paris impact investing association is thrilled to announced the next conference untitled "Investing with Steward-Ownership" with a special guest, from .
How can investors and social entrepreneurs optimise governance for impact?
You might have heard about it when Patagonia's founder gave its shares to "Nature", or when OpenAI got in the newspaper with its governance issues. Steward-ownership holds a compelling answer, and Purpose Economy is pioneering the movement in Europe through its think tank activity and its venture fund. Paris Impact Investing is happy to invite Annika Schneider from Purpose Economy for an open discussion with the French VC community for the first time in France.
What is steward ownership ?
Steward-ownership is a corporate ownership structure that presents an alternative to shareholder value primacy. It ensures that companies prioritize their long-term purpose over short-term profits.
What is the track record ?
The model has been used for decades in Northern Europe and Germany - Zeiss (Germany), Novo Nordisk (Denmark), Patagonia (USA), Bosch (Germany), Signal (USA) BuurtzorgT (Netherlands), Carlsberg (Denmark) for example. It is a model increasingly used by the start-up and venture sector - Ecosia, Sharetribe, or the 2050 fund for example.
