Steward Ownership of Business

This is very much in line with Rudolf Steiner's view of one fruitful direction for the transformation of economic life. So it will perhaps not be surprising that RSF Social Finance, a Steiner-inspired non-profit, has been involved (together with the man and non-profit presented in the video below) in the transition of companies to a steward-ownership structure (for example, Organically Grown Company, one of the largest independent organic produce distributors in the country). Also, check out the corporate logos that appear at certain moments on the screen behind the speaker. Those are steward-owned companies, and some of them (for example Wala and Dr.Hauschka) were formed due to the inspiration of Steiner's ideas.

No doubt that is why Rudolf Steiner Social Finance has been an important financial backer of B-Lab.

Below is another useful short video that explains more about benefit corporations, and the difference between those and B-corps:
