100% Employee Owned – what this means to us

Farallon is 100% employee owned. That means every employee is more than just a team member; they’re also an owner. We focus on creating a culture of shared purpose, mutual respect, and long-term commitment. When you join Farallon, you’re gaining something more than just a regular paycheck; you have the opportunity to invest in yourself while helping us build a stronger and more vibrant company.

Being a 100% employee-owned company means we encourage thoughtful input, innovation, and engagement at every level of the organization to help us succeed. Our success is shared as vested employees benefit directly from strong corporate performance and long-term share price appreciation.

But employee ownership isn’t just about shares; it’s also about mindset. We work together with the understanding that all employee-owners have a stake in how the company performs, grows, and evolves over time. It’s a partnership built on trust, guided by leadership, and driven by the passion of employee-owners who care deeply about doing great work and delivering lasting value.
