About Careholders

Stewards of the Common Good
Throughout this wiki, we refer to careholders rather than stakeholders or shareholders.
A stakeholder is a party that has an interest in a company and can either affect or be affected by the business. The primary stakeholders in a typical corporation are its investors, employees, customers, and suppliers. A stakeholder is one who cares for and is concerned about the functioning of the organization.
A shareholder is a person who owns shares in a company and therefore gets part of the company's profits and the right to vote on how the company is controlled. A shareholder is one who cares for and is concerned about the financial performance of the organization.
A careholder, on the other hand, holds responsibility and cares for values, goods, people who are entrusted to him or her and the planet. Another word for a careholder is steward or custodian. A careholder is one who cares for and is concerned about the common good.
