INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE: EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP

In 2017, STOBG reorganized the company’s ownership structure to pave the way for employee ownership. Today, all employees have the opportunity to buy shares in GISI, STOBG’s parent organization.

By shifting ownership to our employees, we’ve opened the door for our staff to become even more invested in the company’s success—literally. While our staff has always been dedicated to our values and our mission, allowing them to actually become owners of the company creates an even greater collective sense of pride and true ownership in the performance of their team and their colleagues.

This system is unique for our industry, allowing employees of all roles, seniority, and responsibilities to invest. Nearly half of our employees now own shares in the company, which they can purchase directly or through convenient payroll deduction.

Our share price has more than doubled since we started the program, and we continue to pay dividends each year. We see a bright future ahead.
