Barometer
of employee share ownership policies
in European countries |
|
24 European countries now have policies for the promotion
and the development of employee share ownership, on
which 20 in the European Union.
This is driving our barometer to its all-time high.
France, Denmark, Croatia, Serbia, they all introduced
new pieces of incentive legislation this year. In addition,
new initiatives are expected in The Netherlands and
in Lithuania on 1.1.2020.
With
its "PACTE Law" for "Action Plan for
Business Growth and Transformation", France (already
number one for employee share ownership in Europe) took
the decision to double its employee share ownership
by 2030, which would put it at the level reached today
by the USA.
An
important signal for all Europeans.
