Tessa Wernink (co-founder, Fairphone) opens the Steward Ownership Festival Amsterdam on the book's argument — 'We need to build structural integrity into our businesses'

Fairphone's co-founder frames a 450-person day on steward ownership in Amsterdam around the book's central claim, in her own words: building something worth protecting is not enough on its own, and the protection has to run through investment, ownership and governance. Her sessions put the argument to practitioners — steward-aligned finance, a live case, and the emerging investor funds.

“In the words of Eric Ries the author of Incorruptible, if we want profit to serve the purpose of our businesses, it does not suffice to just build businesses that create something worth protecting. We need to build structural integrity into our businesses. From investment, to ownership and governance.” — Tessa Wernink on LinkedIn
