Story

The current business model of "for-profit" companies prioritizes financial gain over all other values, often leading to negative consequences for society and the environment. At For-value, we are revolutionizing this model by redefining the meaning of value to include not just financial success, but also social and environmental impact. Our goal is to help building corporations that prioritize purpose and sustainability, creating positive change on a global scale. By aligning profits with values, we believe we can create a brighter future for both businesses and society as a whole.

For-value is a new paradigm, an organisational pattern that redefines value and positive outcomes in a corporate world. It offers a new way to distribute value in a more impactful and sustainable manner. For-value organization take traditional corporations and add new guidelines, possibilities, and legal support to make them more beneficial for local communities and society as a whole.

For-value  main concept

A "For-value" company is a certified corporation that prioritizes creating value for society, its employees, local community, stakeholders, and the world, over maximizing profit for its shareholders.

Unlike a traditional C-corporation, a "For-value" company does not distribute profit to its shareholders, but instead invests all profits back into the organization to improve its ability to create greater and higher-quality value for society.
The concept of value extends beyond financial gain, to encompass the positive impact the organization can have on its stakeholders and the world.

For-value organization

For-value as an organisation supports companies by offering information and tech services that help them clarify value and increase the efficiency of value creation. The goal is to improve the measure of the certified company's output both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Value can be money, products or services that could be created or reinvested in  many different ways. For example, value can be considered investing in better products beyond profitability, greater customer experience, improved employee experience, social projects that improve livelihood in the area or improve business ability to create more and better value in the future.

We support the organisational journey in transformation from pure profit, to a holistic company that serves humanity and enriches life.

For-value certification

For-value certification is a continuous journey that begins with adopting new articles of incorporation and a new approach to profit distribution. It involves transforming the organization and receiving ongoing support in finding new ways to define and distribute the value it creates

As a result of this transformation, profits are no longer distributed to shareholders, but they can still make a profit by selling company shares for a higher price.  In addition, we support the company investment path by creating  new innovative ways for existing and new  shareholders to receive value from their investments.

After the transformation, shareholders can still make money by selling their shares at a higher price. We also help the company grow and succeed by finding new and innovative ways for shareholders to benefit from their investments

Problem / Solution

Traditional for-profit corporations prioritize maximizing profits for a limited number of shareholders, often at the expense of public interests and local communities. This is due to their legal obligation to prioritize profits and limited options for contributing to society beyond paying taxes.

For-value certification changes this by legally requiring corporations to reinvest profits into creating more value. This shift prioritizes improving the world over maximizing capital, fundamentally changing the goals and operations of corporations, investors, and all stakeholders. These corporations serve to enrich all people inside and outside the company, adding value to the local community, its employees and the society at large.

Vision

Traditional for-profit corporations prioritize maximizing profits for a limited number of shareholders, often at the expense of public interests and local communities. This is due to their legal obligation to prioritize profits and limited options for contributing to society beyond paying taxes.

Impact

"For-value" companies aim to create value for all stakeholders, including employees, customers, the community, and the environment, rather than just maximizing profits for shareholders. This leads to a more sustainable and equitable distribution of wealth and a positive impact on society. In contrast, "for-profit" companies prioritize profits for shareholders and may neglect the well-being of other stakeholders and the wider community. By prioritizing value creation over profit, "For-value" companies have the potential to drive positive social and environmental change and create a more sustainable future.

Risks and challenges

The project of transforming traditional "for-profit" companies into "for-value" organizations may face a number of problems and risks. Here are a few examples: **Resistance to change:** Many established companies and stakeholders may be resistant to changing their business model, as they are used to operating within the traditional "for-profit" framework. This could lead to resistance and pushback from employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders who may be unwilling to change their established ways of doing business. **Lack of understanding:** There may be a lack of understanding among stakeholders and the general public about what a "for-value" company actually is and how it operates. This could lead to confusion and mistrust among stakeholders, making it difficult for the organization to achieve its goals. **Funding challenges:** Transforming a company into a "For-value" organization may require significant investment and resources. It may also be challenging to find funding from investors and other sources who are unfamiliar with the new model. **Regulation and legal hurdles:** There may be legal and regulatory hurdles that need to be addressed before a company can make the transition to a "for-value" organization. For example, there may be concerns about how the new business model will affect the rights and responsibilities of shareholders and other stakeholders. **Measuring and communicating impact:** One of the key challenges of a "for-value" company will be to measure and communicate its impact to stakeholders. This may require the development of new metrics and data systems to accurately track and report the value generated by the organization. Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of transforming traditional "for-profit" companies into "for-value" organizations are significant and could have a positive impact on society. The goal of this project is to create a more sustainable and equitable economic system, where companies are focused on creating value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. It will require commitment, collaboration, and innovation from all stakeholders to make this vision a reality, but it is a challenge that we are ready to embrace.

Success Metrics

The first success metrics we're considering is "for-value" company's employees engagement into a new process of value understanding and creation by the company. We'll continually conducting interviews of employees and leadership with a goal to identify if the concept of value is understood, adopted and bringing well-being to the whole company. It will be translated into "satisfaction metrics", that we'll be using as a main quantitative metric of success of our vision.
