The certification that proves
you’re building a fairer futureThe Sharing Company certification is the European standard for businesses that give employees a real stake in their success. Show the world your commitment to fairness, inclusion, and shared prosperity.
Certified Sharing Company - This mark is awarded to companies that actively share (Future) ownership with their employees or other stakeholders, promoting a fair distribution of economic value and sometimes even governance rights.

10% of the population, and nobody is doing anything about it to avoid a further tear in society.
OUR MISSION: Closing the capital wealth gap by ensuring that the
100 million SME employees in Europe can become co-owners of the businesses they help build.
This certification supports that mission by:
