Scott Bader Commonwealth
The Scott Bader difference is underpinned by the fact we are a Commonwealth, which means we are owned by our colleagues, who as members of the Scott Bader Commonwealth, are responsible for the wellbeing of the business.
Via the Scott Bader Commonwealth, we do business differently by distributing a share of our profits to do good in the world, making life better for people and the planet.
This rare ownership structure brings great benefits:
The business is totally independent and cannot be taken over or sold, creating more sustainable business relationships
Colleagues have an instrumental role in running the business, a role that is much greater than their everyday tasks and empowers them to learn and grow
Our charitable status brings a responsibility to the wider community, to make a positive difference in everything we do
