In January 2021, we invited everyone who had used the FairShares Rules Generator to comment on the usage they had made of the Articles of Association created, and also comment on any changed attitude they had to multi-stakeholder enterprises. The first 'Comment' shows the headline results. If you want any more detail, please contact me.

A very important topic! I don't understand why this isn't talked about more often. Although recently I saw quite a lot of articles about https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/poverty/ and I really enjoyed reading them. I'll leave the link so you too can enjoy a wonderful read.
