Cargas Becomes Certified EO Member
Lancaster, Pennsylvania – April 19, 2023 – Cargas has become a member of Certified Employee-Owned (Certified EO), the leading certification program for employee-owned companies in America.
“Cargas is thrilled to partner with Certified EO,” said Nate Scott, President and CEO of Cargas. “Our employee-owned model is what helps us succeed, and we’re excited to work with Certified EO and their members to promote the power of employee ownership.”
To become a member of Certified EO, companies must pass a rigorous certification process to demonstrate that their employees own at least 30% of the business (exclusive of company founders), access to ownership is open to every employee, and the concentration of ownership is limited. Fewer than 1 in 200 American companies are eligible to join Certified EO.
“We’re excited to have Cargas as our newest member,” said Thomas Dudley, CEO and Co-founder of Certified EO. “We’re very aligned on values and recognize that employee ownership is good for workers, good for business, and good for communities. As an employee-owned company, Cargas is a pillar of their community and at the forefront of creating an economy that works for everyone.”
Cargas became employee-owned in 1998, and today, nearly 80% of our employees are Cargas shareholders.
