We believe companies must create true value \u2013 not only economic, not only for shareholders, but also social and ecological value. That is the only way to create long-term impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From owning to sharing<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

We are called The Sharing Group because we believe in sharing in the broadest sense. We don\u2019t believe in endless growth, more things and more ownership. Instead, we use technology to work smarter \u2013 by sharing more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n \n <\/span>\n

\n Many things are better shared than owned. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n \n <\/span>\n

\n We must care for our greatest shared asset: the Earth. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n \n <\/span>\n

\n Fair distribution of resources benefits everyone. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The winning
business model<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

We are pioneers of a new economic model: the Good Sharing Economy. A model where companies create profit and advance society at the same time. We are convinced this is the only sustainable business model for the long term. Only by doing business in a way that benefits everyone can you build lasting relevance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When is it Good Sharing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We use this checklist to stay on course,
to evaluate new initiatives and to improve existing ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Economically sound <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From ownership<\/em> From happy few<\/em> From static<\/em> From central<\/em> From short-term profit<\/em> From closed systems<\/em> <\/div>\n\n
to use<\/em> to happy mass<\/em> to dynamic<\/em> to decentralized<\/em> to long-term impact<\/em> to open source<\/em> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n By sharing (neighborhood) batteries, electric cars, and bikes, not every citizen needs to own the latest technology in order to benefit from it. <\/p>

\n We accelerate transitions by making smart technology accessible to the happy mass, instead of subsidizing it only for the happy few. <\/p>

\n When everyone manages energy and mobility dynamically, we can quickly overcome both grid congestion and clogged cities and roads. <\/p>

\n Decentralization works faster in the long run. That\u2019s why we believe in local power generation, neighborhood batteries, tailor-made car-sharing systems, and small-scale decentralized data centers. <\/p>

\n Major transitions require people who dare to invest in long-term impact \u2014 municipalities, businesses, and citizens alike. <\/p>

\n \u201cDon\u2019t just work open source, be open source.\u201d Only by collaborating transparently can we truly accelerate change. <\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

We share
our company<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Because we take sharing seriously, we also share our company. Through our Shareholders programme, everyone who joins automatically gets a fair share of The Sharing Group. This applies not only to investors and partners, but also to employees and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
