The Future of Business: Building Companies to Last

​Hosted by Helidoni Foundation

​Outline

​Stewardship is a form of corporate ownership, adopted by companies like Bosch and Patagonia, that puts purpose over profit to ensure businesses remain independent and mission-driven.

​The Helidoni Foundation has supported the founding of Stewards Greece and has shifted its entire focus to supporting and nurturing the first Greek-founded Steward companies that address specific SDGs, including Ten Million Hands, which promotes sustainable consumption and production (SDG 12); OpenCouncil (SDG 16), which improves transparency in local government; and Althyna (SDG 3), which focuses on health, safety, and quality of life, particularly for older adults.

​At this event, attendees will hear Steward-led company founders and the Purpose Foundation share firsthand insights on building mission-driven businesses and scaling stewardship.
