SCOP

What’s a SCOP?

A SCOP is a Cooperative & Participatory Company of people. This original model encourages employees to get involved in the company and enables better relationships with the clients.

In our company, the decision-making power is held by the employees and they represent the majority. Consequently, they also share the risks, the information and the profits. Strategic decisions (management team election, major investors, profit distribution) are voted during the General Assembly according to one rule: 1 person = 1 vote, whatever capital shares you possess. In the ATGT group, the employees own part of the capital and have some voting rights.

A SCOP is by definition anchored to its territory. When going international, the decision center remains where the SCOP was created.

Profits are separated into 3 equal parts. The « company » share for securing the future, the « workforce » share for the employees and the « capital » share in the form of dividends for the associates.

How do we distribute the profits?

What are the consequences on the internal functioning?
