Wala/Dr. Hauschka und Triodos Bank: Review - over 50 years of steward-ownership
Lernreisen I - Lernreisen IIITwo of the most well-known companies in the sustainable sector - Wala GmbH which has the natural cosmetics brand Dr. Hauschka, and Triodos Bank, the world’s largest sustainable bank in the Netherlands - report on more than 70 years of combined steward-ownership. Both are owned by a foundation. Wala GmbH became a foundation-owned company in 1986 and has since then gained a lot of experience with the foundation-ownership model. Since its founding in 1980, Triodos Bank has opted for a special foundation-structure that’s only possible in the Netherlands: a foundation that simultaneously issues bonds, thus enabling the bank’s rapid growth to be financed with equity capital. Dr. Lettmann, CEO of Wala, and Josephine de Zwaan, Board of the Triodos Bank Foundation, discuss what can be learned from their experiences with steward-ownership.LernreisenWherewird noch bekanntgegeben
