Ownership meets purpose in Greece’s evolving social economy, and Helidoni Foundation is proud to stand alongside Stewards, the country’s first ambassador of the Steward-Ownership (SO) model. Stewards are leading a new wave of mission-driven enterprises that prioritize long-term impact over short-term profit.
In 2025, with our continued support, Stewards will help organizations like Ten Million Hands and Schema Labs to transition into the SO model. Through mentorship, alternative financing, and partnerships with academia and impact funds, Stewards is building the foundation for a values-driven economy.
“At Helidoni, we believe true impact comes from aligning ownership with purpose. Supporting Stewards means fostering a new generation of enterprises that put social and environmental good first.” says Alexis Zitrides, Managing Director of Helidoni Foundation.
Leonardo Valettas, Cofounder and Executive Director of Stewards pins down the core mission of the organization, “Stewards are bringing a new model of governance and corporate structure, empowering a transition to an economy that serves first and foremost the people and the society, while protecting and preserving the planet”
Together, we are shaping Greece’s future economy—responsible, transparent, and mission-led.
