“In the cooperative, our young lawyers have the opportunity to become partners already after their internship. This gives them co-determination and helps build collective leadership in the cooperative. Financially there is full transparency, including the fees each lawyer receives, and we devote 10% of the profits to charities that we select together.”
System Change

The Shift’s members are working towards to an economic model in which success is measured not only by financial profit, but also by the positive impact generated for society. They focus their business operations on creating value for all stakeholders through, for example, their social mission, long-term thinking and non-financial indicators embedded in their governance and ownership. Transparency about investment choices, with particular attention given to the role of banking, is an integral part of this.
Our members take on the responsibility of contributing to a future society where no one is left behind, as well as to an economy that respects the ecological limits of our planet.
Real systemic change, however, requires more than tweaks to external structure and policy – it also requires inner work. We believe in the importance of the inner shift: leadership that starts from an awareness of one’s own values, an eye for the bigger picture and the courage to choose meaningful entrepreneurship.
No change without imagination. That’s why we are building on a shared vision of the future that wins hearts and minds. So that tomorrow’s economy takes shape today.
