From Employee-Owners to Environmental Champions

Employee-owned companies achieve significantly better environmental performance than traditionally structured businesses. Research shows that for every $83,571 of company stake allocated per employee, companies improve on one additional environmental indicator. When employees become owners, they transform from workers into environmental champions, driving initiatives from waste reduction to renewable energy adoption through enhanced engagement and shared accountability.

Abstract

Employee-owned companies achieve significantly better environmental performance than traditionally structured businesses. Research shows that for every $83,571 of company stake allocated per employee, companies improve on one additional environmental indicator. When employees become owners, they transform from workers into environmental champions, driving initiatives from waste reduction to renewable energy adoption through enhanced engagement and shared accountability.
