Purpose Ownership: A short guide-book to legal frameworks

A concise and informative examination of the model of steward-ownership which is being used by a growing number of for-profit organizations to guide their long term governance for public benefit.

Excerpt from the guide: "The guidebook outlines specific ways in which companies can embed the principles of steward-ownership (self-governance and profits serving purpose) in their legal DNA and thus protect their values, mission and independence in the long term. Through exploring current, tested steward-ownership models, as well as important legal considerations for new or existing businesses wishing to adopt a mission-focused structure, we offer some guidance and inspiration for lawyers in finding creative ways to assist their clients to achieve their goal."
