Steward-ownership in Switzerland

In this episode of the "100 Minutes" podcast, brand eins podcaster Frank Dahlmann talks to Purpose Switzerland co-founder Lukas Hotz. The organisation supports companies in organising themselves according to a model of responsible ownership. (German only)

"Our world as a whole is becoming more diverse: this is also being transferred to economic life."
