publicly owned Logos and Brands

Publicly or socially owned companies operate in the public interest and are accountable to public institutions. The “Publicly Owned” section brings together the logos of companies whose controlling stake is held by the state, a municipality, or a public fund. Energy corporations, water utilities, national postal services, and state railways fall into these categories. Their activities are aimed at meeting the basic needs of citizens, and their form of ownership determines the specifics of their management, where profit is subordinate to public benefit and social obligations.
