What they asked for

  1. Who can use it?

    Wants changes
    Call for evidence (2025) · 26 Sep 2025

    Include steward-ownership as a recognised and supported ownership model within the new EU company form to enable mission-driven organisations to preserve their values and independence.

    “Without broader recognition and supportive legal and financial frameworks for steward-ownership in Europe, organisations like Catalyst face structural disadvantages compared to conventional ownership transitions.”
