Propelling the Growth of Leading Franchisors

Supporting Opportunity Through Shared Ownership

We intend for our new, large-scale, US private equity control portfolio companies to provide broad-based employee eligibility for equity-linked bonuses – an initiative we believe draws high-quality talent, promotes retention and fosters alignment in the success of our businesses. This includes the shared ownership initiative at Copeland, which we believe — with 18,000 eligible employees — is the largest such program ever implemented at a private equity–backed company.
