Steward
ownership

At Local Happinez, we believe that success should benefit people and the planet. That’s why we chose steward-ownership, a model that puts our mission at the heart of everything we do.

By separating voting rights from economic rights, we protect our purpose and ensure that Local Happinez always stays true to its values. Financial success flows back into creating positive social and environmental impact.

We’re proud to be among the pioneers of steward-ownership in the Netherlands, helping build a future where businesses exist to serve a greater purpose.
