Our ethos is – people care, planet care
2 – Cooperative ownership and management
Eekos is an equally co-owned company that abides by the International Cooperatives Alliance’s Values and Principles
Eekos has a “flat” company structure with the UK base and multiple “Agencies” being set up around the world. All agencies are owned by Eekos and all its members, but run by local members.
4 – Aim Driven Services and Products
Specific member and Agency aims drive the work that Eekos members do.
These goals benefit members, community and environment.
The work we do is separated into a number of “tasks” that members can do for their own agency, other agencies or the core Eekos Ltd in the UK.
This defines responsibility, and gives members variety and flexible work to accommodate changing lives.
The primary method of decision making in Eekos is consensus, a system which takes all members needs into account and not just a majority vote.
7 – A Representative system of Management
There is a board of directors, but they do not manage from the top, they are elected representatives of Agencies who take direction from the members.
