EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a dedicated 28th regime for Steward-Ownership to embed purpose and long-term thinking in companies but wants it to harmonize legal recognition and protect SMEs and family businesses.
Allow any company, especially SMEs and family businesses, to adopt steward-ownership structures under the 28th regime to support social innovation and long-term competitiveness.
“A dedicated 28th regime for Steward-Ownership would: Provide a unified legal framework for founders and entrepreneurs across member states to adopt SO without legal friction.”
Feedback, 2025-08-20
Create a harmonized and legally certain framework at the EU level to avoid complex workarounds currently needed for steward-ownership structures.
“SO founders must build complex workarounds using trusts, foundations, or multiple entities, which hinders growth, transparency, and legal certainty.”

Establish the steward-ownership 28th regime as a supranational legal form to affirm the EU's Social Market Economy and support innovative corporate forms.

Open-source context and state for AI: it keeps only what matters for the question.
In WhoShapedIt: Reads every lobby submission and position paper and each official text, cut into passages, and judges each passage against nine questions (who can use EU Inc, workers on the board, tax…), so every ask and every step is read on the passages that address it.
Open-source Svelte components for clean, accessible interfaces.
In WhoShapedIt: The status, the timeline, the theme picker, the camps of lobbies and the organisation pages.
