Company

Why this team might suit you

Mission, benefits, values and useful company context.

Mission

Commoning, using the principles laid out by Elinor Ostrom, a Nobel laureate in economics, enables life's essentials – housing, energy, land, food, water, transport, social care, and the means of exchange – to be collectively owned by communities. Once assets are in the commons, they do not generate returns to corporate shareholders and are owned by the community in perpetuity, thereby ensuring wealth stays in communities, for the benefit of communities.

Benefits

Potential for a paid role
Work closely with director
Contribute to global problem-solving

Values

Company emphasises on sustainability, community ownership, and equitable resource distribution through collective management.
