WHAT IS AN ESOP?

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan is an employment benefit that allows a company’s employees to own shares in the business and benefit from these shares’ growth in value over time. ESOPs let employees accumulate company stock throughout their time at the company and trade these shares for their cash value once they leave or retire. Since 2011, Columbia Chemical has been 100% employee owned and we believe it has had a great impact on our company culture as well as employee’s financial security. But don’t just listen to us, listen in to some of our employees and hear what employee ownership means to them.
