What is employee share ownership?

Employee shareholding refers to the ownership of company shares by its employees. Widely spread in France, it involves more than 3 million employees who hold on average 3.9% of the capital of CAC40 companies, but remains rare in SMEs (1 in 100). Accessible to all employees, it has benefited from tax advantages since the 1960s and enjoys broad political consensus. However, it encompasses varied realities depending on the company size, the percentage of capital held, and the distribution of shares among employees. In the United States, research has mainly focused on SMEs where employees own 30% of the capital, showing benefits such as better performance, increased employee engagement, and enhanced attractiveness. Employee shareholding was originally designed as a way to harmonize relations between capital and labor, with its real impact depending on fair implementation.

What is sustainability reporting?

Sustainability, or societal, reporting encompasses the environmental and social information related to an entity’s activities, which is used for internal management purposes and may also be disclosed to external stakeholders. In a context where disclosure has been largely voluntary, this type of reporting has faced criticism regarding its quality. Instances of greenwashing strategies and selective disclosure of favorable information for legitimization purposes have been documented in the literature. Today marks the beginning of an era of standardization in this field. Several standard-setting initiatives are currently underway, led by different bodies that do not fully converge on the dimensions to be addressed.

What is servant leadership?

Servant leadership differs from all other leadership theories in that it places the manager at the service of individuals and teams, rather than the other way around. Based on the assumption that teams are more willing to engage in their work, servant leaders are there to support and assist them in solving professional problems—and, when necessary, personal difficulties as well. In this context, they may also have to make painful decisions. Studies have shown that servant leadership contributes to personal fulfillment, which in turn leads to increased individual and collective performance, often reflected in the company’s profitability.
