EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a company form that protects social and ecological purposes by avoiding capture by extractive finance, but wants stronger safeguards for ownership and governance to maintain purpose beyond profit.
Allow writing the company’s social/ecological purpose into the articles of association and actively shape ownership, board representation and investment term sheets accordingly.
“This can include writing this purpose into the businesss articles of association, but also requires avoiding concentration of power for external investors, and actively shaping ownership, board representation and investment term sheets to empower other stakeholders and ensure a focus on the purpose.”

Ensure the company form guards against pressure from external finance by structuring ownership and governance to retain independence from outside investors and avoid concentration of power.
“To maintain a social/ecological purpose against short-term profit maximisation requires avoidance of capture by extractive forms of finance.”

Include provisions to democratise ownership and separate financial and governance rights to empower stakeholders and maintain the company’s purpose.
“Democratisation of ownership and/or separation of financial and governance provides that assurance that capture can be avoided, and purpose maintained.”
