stakeholding

Having vested interests

The term emphasizes that multiple parties beyond owners or shareholders have legitimate interests: employees, communities, customers, suppliers.

The company adopted a stakeholding approach to corporate governance.

Stakeholding contrasts with purely shareholder-focused models, suggesting broader accountability.
