This  Hybrid Business Structure  combines an independently controlled non-profit foundation with a profit making corporation to maximize the best characteristics of each and minimize the highly destructive aspect of most, large, present-day corporations.   That destructive aspect is: "profits first -- profits  at the expense of everything and everyone else."

We partner our non-profit foundation and our profit-making  corporation because there are major and very significant differences between the two, because each provides benefits that the other cannot provide, and because each has tools that the other doesn't have.   This concept, how it works, and what it accomplishes are described in considerable detail on The New Corporate World Foundation's website. **ncw2

A Huge Financial Advantage:   The NCW business structure gives us a huge financial advantage over other companies.   Why?   Because The Great God, "Money" is our partner not our master.   We are not beholding to money lenders.   We are not required to show a profit on the next corporate quarterly report.   The money that corporations normally pay out to stockholders will be redirected back to the foundations named beneficiaries.   The beneficiaries include employees (and management) customers, the environment, and any remaining stockholders.   This business structure, how it works, and what it accomplishes are described in considerable detail on The New Corporate World Foundation's website. **ncw2   With the money that will not be going to Wall Street investors, we will also be able to provide high quality products and services at a competitive price.  

Our Environmental  Advantage:  We will be one of the greenest companies in the entire corporate world.   Our process is about producing the highest-possible quality products and services.   Because profit is not our only goal, our products can be designed for a very long life.   We can produce products in which only the essential, obsolete components are replaced at the time of upgrade.   We can produce products in which end-of-life-recycling is designed into the products at the point of manufacture.   Environmentalists will love our products.   So will our customers.   Everybody wins by shifting their business to the Mari-Med Corporation.

Safety First:   The first rule for a wise investor is to protect his/her capital investment.   There are compensations for risk.   Usually the higher-risk investments offer the higher returns, but the bottom line is to protect one's investment.   

A False Sense of Safety:   In the economic boom that followed WWII, millions of Americans were conned into violating that rule by taking their retirement moneys in the form of promises to pay by the corporations they worked for.   Instead of having their money moved into a independently-controlled retirement trust, they left their retirement money in the hands of the corporate executives.   In hindsight, this was obviously a huge mistake.   What they did was the financial equivalent of asking an alcoholic to guard their liquor cabinet.   

The "Fit Hits the Shan":   Unfortunately for the employees, their retirement money was being managed by people whose loyalty was to themselves and to the super-wealthy money interests and not by the employees.   In 199---, when American Airlines, got itself in financial difficulty, the company executives convinced the politicians to change the rules so that the corporation could "legally" default on its promises to its employees.   American Airlines reneged on its promises to its employees and proceeded to rape its employees retirement system.  

Soon, other corporation management teams saw this as their role model, and within a couple of years, millions of corporate employees in thousands of corporations, found themselves the victims of a systematic pillaging of their retirement moneys.  

There Is Another Way:   In sharp contrast to the above debacle, employees of the Mari-Med Corporation and the Mari-Med Foundation will receive their retirement money each month by way of payment of a completely-independent retirement trust controlled and managed by professional investment consultants, who can and will be hired and fired by the collective wishes of the employees and retired employees.   The retirement trusts will be required to invest in tangible assets and not of promises to pay, such as stocks ,bonds, mutual funds, and the like.   Readers are directed to the page titled:

Corporate executives have the tendency to place their own financial well-being ahead of everything and everyone else.   At the Mari-Med Corporation,  this will be counterbalanced by the fact that executive compensation, including all perks, benefits, and the like, must be approved by the partnering non-profit foundation. 

Executive Salaries:   Executive salaries will be related to the average worker's salaries with a maximum ratio of twenty to one.   In other words, the highest-paid person in the company can receive a maximum of twenty times the amount paid to the lowest paid person.   

Bonuses:  Unless specifically approved by the foundation, bonuses paid will go to all employees, not just to those managing the company.   Bonuses will be paid in proportion to the pay scale, so that everybody is rewarded when the company does well.  

The Accumulation of Excessive Wealth:  Any person, no matter how competent or skilled they are who transfers more than forty million dollars of his company's profits into his/her private holdings is guilty of price gouging his customers and/or taking unfair advantage of his/her employees, and/or destroying the environment.   

Excess Corporate Profits:   Any company that is making huge profits is overcharging its customers.   An ethical company will generate a profit and balance the profit with its product price so that the company gets a reasonable financial reward for its products and services and the customer pays a fair price.
