List of employee-owned companies
 | This list is incomplete; you can help by . (October 2009) |
This is a list of notable employee-owned companies by country. These are companies totally or significantly owned (directly or indirectly) by their employees.[1]
Employee ownership takes different forms and one form may predominate in a particular country. For example, in the U.S. most of the estimated 4,000 majority employee-owned companies have an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).[2] An ESOP is an employee-owner method that provides a company's workforce with an ownership interest in the company. In an ESOP, companies provide their employees with stock ownership, often at no up-front cost to the employees. ESOP shares, however, are part of employees' remuneration for work performed. Shares are allocated to employees and may be held in an ESOP trust until the employee retires or leaves the company. The shares are then sold.
