Scott Bader has no external shareholders. Its shares are held by Scott Bader Commonwealth Limited a Company Limited by guarantee and a Registered Charity. Employees are trustees-in-common of the company assets.
This unusual structure provides significant additional dimensions to business and employment relationships and our interaction with the wider community.

• Business relationships are more sustainable because Scott Bader cannot be taken over - it is totally independent.
• Employees have a greater role to play in the company than just performing their day-to-day role
• Charitable status brings an obligation to the wider community particularly those less fortunate.
